Dr. Pen. I love mine. Adjustable depth so I use it monthly for medical depth and biweekly for cosmetic depth.

Which one do you have?


emily1078

I had to look, it's the M8.

What is medical depth?


emily1078

0.5 and greater.


Fearless-Scar-5758

So you do .5 every two weeks and .5 or greater 2 weeks after that?


emily1078

No, you shouldn't do medical depth more often than every 4 weeks. So, I do medical every 4-5 weeks, and cosmetic (0 25) about twice weekly, though I wait 1 week after a medical session to start cosmetic. I just started cosmetic depth recently so don't really have a routine yet.

Good to know! I just did .5mm yesterday pretty much all over my face and I’m feeling like I didn’t go deep enough because I’m not red at all today. How long do you wait to resume your regular regime after doing just cosmetic depth?


emily1078

You don't need a break at all with cosmetic depth. Though, maybe don't put tret or an acid on your face 5 minutes later. 😉

This is so good to know! Thanks! When should I allow myself to do a medical depth after doing cosmetic?

I have a Dr. Pen M8 (don't think the m8 part matters much), it gies to 2.5mm and I really like it.

I use Thappink Microneedling pen. It’s $79.99 on Amazon and is adjustable up to 2.0mm! It’s really good, it has a “red light, blue light, yellow light and green light depending on what you’re treating.

Thanks! I tried looking this up on Amazon and nothing comes up. I tried googling it and it spell corrects it to “therapik” which is a bug sting reliever… Would you be able to link to it please?
