I spent 2 years undergoing microneedling treatment where my dermatologist spent a lot of money

 The Dr.Pen at home micro needling pen has 6 sterile tips so you can use it over time, since I used it on my face I allowed 4-6 weeks in between each time session and I use it with a topical numbing cream.
The actual pen works better than most high end micro needling pens, it isn't heavy, it has a digital screen so you can clearly see what speed it is on, and dial adjustable. Overall all this is a very easy product to use and compared to the price to get it done this is more convenient and you can do it from the comfort of you home

I'm not sure a machine is needed. Seems easier for me to just pull out the manual microneedling tool and get it done rather than pull out a gadget, but that's just me. Otherwise this does what it says and isn't too complicated.

I've been using it for a little more than a month, and I believe it has improved the look of my skin. My skin seems smoother overall, and my pores appear to be smaller. The changeable needle depth is a fantastic feature, and the build is of high quality. My skin looks wonderful after using it on my face for a few weeks. This is a high-quality microneedling stamp that I would unquestionably suggest to anyone seeking for one. I love the look and features of this Dr Pen M8

My mother-in-law is an esthetician, and I gave it to her for her business. She was looking for a microneedling pen, and I was able to order this one, and thought that she would be the perfect person to test it out. As it turns out, her first few clients that she used the pen on, were my wife and sister-in-law. They always get treatments from their mom for these types of things, as she obviously will not charge them. My wife really liked the effect that she got from it in combination with a hyaluronic acid treatment, as she claims it vastly improved the hydration of her skin, as well as the glowiness of it. I fiddled around with it a bit too, and thought the quality was really excellent. It doesn't feel like a cheap product at all, and watching my mother-in-law use it, seemed fairly straightforward. From that perspective, I think if you're a newbie to microneedling, the learning curve for this particular device is not terribly steep. I notice the technique is to pay attention to one area at a time, while lifting the pen to another area. Never drag, always lift. I think to help gain the most benefit from skin care products, such as serums, microneedling is something that could really accelerate your results. I might even ask my mother-in-law to give it a try on my face, as I'm in my 40s now, and could use all the help I can get, to regain a youthful look. All in all, it's a really high quality microneedling pen, and one that I would certainly recommend.

Great product!

I really like this Dr Pen microneedle device. It comes almost fully charged and doesn't take much longer to become charged the rest of the way. It's actually pretty easy to use. I haven't had any issues with it, my only complaint is that the booklet doesn't state if you can use the needle heads more than once (self use) or dispose of afterwards.

I'm a professional cosmetologist with access to spa/salon/medical grade facial equipment including microneedling pens that can run upwards of several thousand dollars. After several years of testing these devices against home quality ones, I have essentially determined that there is very very very very little difference between a professional device and an "at-home" one. Battery life and expected life span could be the only real factors in most cases; as far as clients go, the difference in results is produced by the skill of the professional and not the cost of the device.

As a result, I often find myself reaching for a Dr Pen M8 in my office probably 8 times out of 10. The reason is because unless I am needling a scalp client or traveling to an outside service where I may use my pen for many hours straight, I find that the M8 pen can produce the same results that a professional pen can. However, the M8 pen actually weighs about 60 grams less than my professional device. This may not sound like a lot of weight but if I do 3-4 needling clients in a day, my wrist notices the difference in those 60 grams after awhile. Because of this, I actually have several M8 pens because sometimes I will forget to charge one overnight, or perhaps I have back to back clients and do not want to risk a battery dying at all.

Even though I do that, I've never had any issue with battery life or performance at all even when power begins to drop low. The pen continues to work and push through even when it's grazing the lower end of its battery life, and charge time is quick. I've never timed it specifically but I know that if I like go to lunch, run an errand, and come back, it's full and ready again. A few hours at most, and you're back in business. If you're busy and take back to back clients though, more than one device is ALWAYS a good idea.

The cartridges that come with this pen seemed fine and I noticed no issues with needle quality. However, I did use these on myself, on my body (hip/thigh) skin. The reason is because I do ONLY purchase needle cartridges to be used on clients from a reputable medical supplier, and that's because the needles absolutely must be reliably sterile and sharp. Using poor quality cartridges is a guaranteed way to ruin someone's skin, so while these devices are available to purchase without any kind of license, please be aware that I feel personally that it's the cartridges that are a much riskier purchase than the device. Use caution if you choose to do this yourself at home and try to find cartridges from a source that has a good reputation for sterility and quality.

Overall in terms of the device quality I'm very happy with the Dr. Pen M8 each and every time I use it. I have great results with it because it's a lightweight and easy to use needling pen that fits easily into the hand, holds a charge for a long period of time and maintains power and consistency the entire time it is in use. It is a bit smaller than my professional pen, but that doesn't appear to affect its performance or power at all. I'm happy with this microneedling pen and would absolutely recommend it to others.

Exactly as described

This microneedling system is badass!!! I can tell this machine has a lot of power to it. I noticed that it hurts a little more to do a .75 needle than my older microneedle. Maybe the needle adjuster runs small? It felt like a lot more. But this needle is top notch and quality! I like that it comes with a few disposable needles and it comes in a nifty case. it also is rechargeable and holds a charge for a long time!
