Each cartridge is made with high-quality stainless steel and comes in a sterile pack. The 36 pin size is ideal for sensitive skin or those who want to microneedle large surface areas. 

For Larger or Sensitive Areas
Higher pin cartridges are best suited for larger treatment areas or more delicate skin, such as the scalp, neck, décolletage, and upper or inner thighs. Because the pins are more densely distributed, the treatment is generally gentler but covers a wider area efficiently. These cartridges may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.

Here is the cartridge selection guide for more information.

Each cartridge can only be used once. To ensure there is no cross-contamination, cartridges must be sterilised before treatment.

How does microneedling with Dr. Pen work?

The needles create tiny micro-channels on the surface of the skin. These tiny micro-channels stimulate the skin’s healing response, which includes an increased production of collagen and elastin.

Having more collagen and elastin causes the skin to become firmer, reduces scars gradually, and smooths out wrinkles over time. Dr. Pen microneedling pens can be used multi-directionally, so the microneedling treatments can be performed on any area of the face, neck, neckline, stomach, thighs, buttocks or scalp.

Please note: Dr. Pen cartridges arrive in individually sealed, sterile pouches, sterilised with ethylene oxide gas and UV light during packaging. Secondary sterilisation with isopropyl alcohol before use is entirely optional. Some users prefer this extra step for added peace of mind, and that is completely fine.

Read our detailed instruction guide to the microneedling steps here.

1. The cartridge comes in a sterile pack.
2. Double-cleanse (cleanse and repeat) then wipe the skin clean. Fully tie your hair back, away from your face. 
3. Check your cartridge; ensure the needles are in perfect condition (i.e., not bent) and remove any debris.
4. Insert the cartridge into the microneedling pen until it clicks into place.
5. Set your desired needle depth and speed level.
6. Work in small areas and apply Peachaboo Hyaluronic Acid serum to each area before needling. This will help to ensure that the pen does not drag or pull on the skin. The recommended pattern to move the pen for best results is vertical, horizontal, and then diagonal in both directions. Using a light pressure and without dragging, repeat this motion over each area two times.
7. Safely dispose cartridge after every use.
