I’ve used it twice. And it’s fairly comparable to what I experienced after going to an aesthetician’s office. Please Note, however, I did full research of everything available on the Dr. Pen site and videos found online. I was educated on the proper use and settings before I even used it.
I carefully deciphered through all of these different micro needling devices. I chose one (a different brand) that I thought would be good, when I received it it was not at all. I decided to go with Dr pen. There are many here that sell Dr. Pen brand. And after investigating with Dr. Pen itself, there are many unauthorized sellers on Amazon. That's why the bad reviews. I chose this one because it seemed to be an authentic retailer of the brand.
It saved me money than going direct with the company, and it was risk free with my prime membership, also with discounted prices on extra cartridges to add on right away, which I took advantage of because I had a good feeling this was a legit retailer.
I just received it today, it really works! It's quality product and I'm glad I took advantage of the extra savings ordering cartridges with the purchase! Now, time will tell if it helps with my areas of concern.
However, all of the videos I have watched, I do not recommend sliding it over your skin! But to place it over an area for a second lift up and place into the next area, etc... The needles move way too fast and it causes scraping, cutting over the skin, which I have found on my tomato skin testing. Not ideal. The nano head breaks up the dead skin cells on the surface and exposes trapped sebum, etc... That can then be gently exfoliated out, ideally with an enzyme exfoliant and ultrasonic current. TG
This Dr. Pen a6s has a sleek design and is easy to use. It comes with both a wireless and wired option incase you run out of battery. Definitely a step up from a derma roller and much more effective and worth the price.
I love this pen. It works really well and it’s cordless so you don’t need to worry about a plug. After the treatments I use serums and cream and the next day my skin is glowing.
We tried a different brand when we initially started micro needling. We found that it would sometimes leave dragging scratch marks across our face. Not a problem with Dr Pen. Terrifically pleased with our results.
I have a scare on my nose from the removal of basal cell cancer. This tool is key to helping manage the scaring and making that area smooth again. Very easy to use!
