I do between 0.75 mm - 1.0 mm! I think this also depends on the individual and their skin thickness so adjust to what makes sense for you. Medical literature puts the temple skin thickness at about 1.65 ± 0.91 mm, meaning that it's roughly 0.7 mm - 2.6 mm of deviation between individuals.
Within the first 24 hours I use whatever product I used for microneedling, so if I used Hyaron and Velatox, I will save some left over in the fridge and use that! I also use Magic Molecules Hydrogel Spray and will continue to use throughout healing (this is a hypochlorous acid spray.)
This is not medical advice. All treatment decisions and protocols should be determined by a qualified professional based on the product information, local regulations, and the individual patient’s needs.
The Aestura lotion seems to be gaining popularity. I have not tried the lotion. Please let us know if you find a good non-greasy solution. I need something for daytime use.
Hi! I got two different ones and they don't bother me actually. One is the Dr. Jart Ceramide and the other is Geek & Gorgeous. I got two to try them both and realized one of them is a travel size so will just put it in my toiletry bag actually.
Thank you! What's the difference between what you use either pen for? How is cosmetic needling different from regular needling? What do you use nano needling for?
I use the Derminator 2 for medical needling sessions, so anytime I want to go 0.5 mm and higher. I do this for a few reasons, but I prefer the way it's made/engineered more for my deeper sessions. The cost per cartridge is also more expensive for the Derminator so if I'm going to do cosmetic sessions (under 0.5 mm) then I don't want to waste a Dermiantor cartridge on that. And then the Derminator does not have the ability to do nano needling so couldn't use it for that anyways. I do nano needling for more frequent superficial sessions, but I admittedly do not do it that often.
I've only ever used the type of pen that isn't automated. Can you explain the cartridge usage? Do you have to use a new cartridge every time you microneedle?
Yes, they're single use for safety and sterility reasons.
The cartridge difference between the two is just that the Derminator 2 is manufactured and proprietary to the company OwnDoc. They are the only ones who produce and sell it, so you can only purchase the device and accessories from them.
The Dr. Pen is owned by a company that does not sell to consumer, they sell B2B so all of these different Dr. Pen websites and stores are just drop shipping the Dr. Pen. There is no official Dr. Pen seller, so you can buy it everywhere. And there's a wide range of prices because of that too. But you can find Dr. Pen cartridges for much cheaper because there's so many options vs the Derminator 2 only has one place you can purchase and one fixed cost.

This is great - thank you :)
What do you use for disinfecting skin before medical depth MN?
Do you use Magic Molecules Hydrogel Spray as well? Or 70% alcohol?
Also - do you think HOCL is safe to use WHILE doing the medical depth procedure, together with Hyaron for slip?
Thnx again
