I really would have preferred to wait until I’d used it a couple of times before reviewing but they sent me a thing for a free box of needle carts and this was part of the deal!! It’s a solid win for me- even just after the first use tho. Watch all the dr pen vids you can FIRST and pay attention to the appropriate speeds/depths for different areas- that matters! I have seen a few vids (by beauty DIYers ) where they aren’t wearing gloves, don’t discuss keeping your work area clean, cross contamination etc and it makes me nervous. As a nurse, I’ve seen the horror stories! Disinfect your work surface, use the chlorhexadine scrub to wash off the numbing cream like dr pen says, and wear the gloves. Don’t dip into an open container with that gloved finger you just touched your skin with (especially skin that you’ve just poked holes in)- be mindful of cross contamination. I use paper towels from the second layer down on a new roll as even just washed towels may still have bacteria that could get into those little wounds you’ve just made! Just like with after-care, you don’t want “active” products on your skin during or your skin will be very upset. Stick with plain HA (huge fan of the Ordinary’s 2%- very high quality and inexpensive.) All that said- the results are going to be good if you follow instructions because this is as close as you’ll get to a salon dermapen!

I've only used it once, so I can't comment on long-term use, but it's not bad for the price so far. I do wish a 12-pin cartridge were available for this. If there is one, I haven't seen one.

You'll want to watch videos (YouTube or elsewhere) to get an idea how to use this, as the instructions included are minimal.

Be sure to order a serum for use with this, too, at minimum. Alcohol wipes to clean your face with, gloves, and a face mask for aftercare are good to have too.

Build quality feels very good, and though I've only been using it for a couple of months it has done great in that time. I use it 1-2x a week, and have only had to charge it once. I really enjoy all the features, and the nice selection of different cartridges. Lastly, Dr Pen was very helpful when I reached out to their customer service with questions.

Once I figured out how to operate the pen (detailed instructions would be helpful) I found it easy to use. It has helped with some scarring and has lightened dark spots. Numbing cream is a great accompaniment. I think it’s will continue to improve the look of my skin.

As an esthetician I recommend this product to everyone in this sphere. It’s lightweight, easy to use and amazing product.

Easy to use. Professional results

Very nice set and works very well. Recommend!

Love the product!!!

I was hesitant purchasing this product on Amazon, seems to be a lot of knock offs. This seller is highly rated for good reason and can confidently recommend them. I’m happy with my order and will use them in the future to repurchase my products as needed.

I’ve used once so far and went well. Feel like my skin is a little firmer from just doing it once. Looking forward to seeing more results!
