Understanding Microneedling Pen Cartridges

Microneedling has become increasingly popular as a highly effective skin treatment targeting various skin concerns. At the heart of this procedure lies the microneedling pen and its interchangeable cartridges, which are crucial in delivering optimal results.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that utilizes fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, triggering collagen and elastin production, two essential proteins vital for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. Research has explored and demonstrated several potential dermatologic applications for microneedling, including acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and even hair loss.

Evidence-Based Microneedling Recommendations

Currently, microneedling protocols vary depending on the practitioner, as it’s still heavily reliant on a practitioner’s preference and experience; however, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Inc. seeks to standardize it by providing evidence-based recommendations on how microneedling should be prepared for and done.

Giving Pre-Treatment Advice to Patients

Microneedling requires clinicians and patients to work together to achieve optimum results. Before commencing the procedure, you must provide your patients with comprehensive pre-treatment guidance to manage their expectations with the results and ensure their safety during the procedure, which involves recommending they refrain from using retinoids, exfoliants, and specific medications that could heighten skin sensitivity for at least a week before the procedure. It’s also essential to ensure patients are not experiencing active skin infections or open wounds, as these could compromise the outcome.

Patients with a history of oral herpes labialis must be prescribed a 1-week course of oral antiviral therapy to avoid the risk of reactivating the virus. A patient with a recent history of sun exposure must be advised to delay treatment to prevent depigmentation, or the alteration of normal skin color, after the treatment.

Clinical Assessment

Conducting a thorough clinical assessment involves carefully examining the patient’s skin while documenting its condition through before-and-after photographs. These visual records serve as a baseline for comparison, help track the patient’s progress, and demonstrate the transformations that can be achieved through this treatment.

Skin Preparation and Anesthesia

Proper skin preparation and appropriate anesthesia ensure patient comfort and optimize treatment outcomes. Begin by cleansing the skin thoroughly with a gentle cleanser to remove any surface impurities, and consider applying a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort.

Device Preparation

The microneedling pen and its interchangeable cartridges are the core components of this treatment. Ensure the device is adequately cleaned and the appropriate sterilized cartridge is selected for your patient’s specific skin concerns and treatment objectives.

Treatment Protocol

Divide the treatment area into quadrants and apply gentle traction to the skin, allowing for a more controlled and even penetration of the needles. You may also utilize a “rocking” or “stamping” technique to ensure that the needles create the desired micro-injuries without causing excessive trauma to the skin. Monitor the appearance of pinpoint bleeding, as this can serve as a guide for determining the appropriate depth of the treatment. Research has explored and demonstrated several potential dermatologic applications for microneedling, including acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and even hair loss.

Post-Treatment Advice

After the microneedling procedure, provide your patients with comprehensive post-treatment guidance, including recommendations for using soothing and hydrating skincare products, avoiding direct sun exposure, and refraining from wearing makeup for a specified period.

Ensure your patients understand the importance of following these instructions, as doing so will support optimal healing and minimize the likelihood of complications.

Microneedling Cartridge Choices and Their Application

Microneedling treatment success is heavily dependent on the selection of the appropriate cartridge. Let’s explore the different types available and their suitable applications:

Nanoneedling Cartridges

Nanoneedling cartridges feature extremely fine needles, typically ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 millimeters in length. These are ideal for targeting delicate areas, such as the under-eye region, and addressing concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Nano needling is less invasive, making it suitable for patients with sensitive skin or use in delicate, thin tissue areas.

14-pin Cartridges

Studies have shown 14-pins to be ideal number. They are particularly effective in treating more stubborn concerns, such as deeper acne scars, moderate-to-severe pigmentation, and significant skin laxity. Their unique needle count is ideal for many more applications than others. The needle length typically falls within the 1.0 to 2.5 millimeter range.

Tips On Choosing the Right Microneedling Pen Cartridge to Use for Your Patient

When selecting the appropriate microneedling pen cartridge, consider the following factors:

1. Skin Concern: Carefully assess your patient’s specific skin concerns and choose a tailored cartridge to address those issues effectively.

2. Skin Type and Sensitivity: Consider your patient’s skin type and sensitivity level, and select a cartridge with the appropriate needle length and density to ensure optimal results without causing excessive trauma.

3. Compatibility with Microneedling Pen: Ensure that the cartridge is compatible with your microneedling pen, as different brands may have varying specifications.

Safety Reminder: Cartridges are Single Use Only

It’s crucial to remember that microneedling pen cartridges are designed for single use only. Reusing these cartridges increases the risk of cross-contamination and adverse event potential. Always dispose of used cartridges and replace them with new ones for each treatment.
