iBeautyPen™

Compared with traditional derma rollers, it has the following advantages:

• Much Less pain and trauma
• 10 times more efficiency
• More suitable for small areas treatment such as noise, between eyebrows and eyes, and localized scars
• Adjustable needle length and speed for more flexible and precision needling
• Vertical movement for easy penetration preventing needle bent/broken
• Cost-saving
• Easy to operate

There are mainly two type of motors for the micro needle pen

1. Integrated Reciprocating DC motor
2. Disintegrated Spring-loaded DC motor

iBeautyPen adopts Integrated Reciprocating DC motor design to provide powerful needling without the risk of micro-scratch on the skin. The needle cartridge is integrately locked into the Reciprocating DC motor enable consistent back and forth movement rather than circularly. The needle is pull back by the lever directly connected with the motor. This design makes sure each needle puncture has the same penetration strength with full needle retraction even under the highest speed.
The disintegrated Spring-loaded DC motor also provides back-and-forth movement. However, between the needle tip and motor, there is the spring connected with both side. So the needle is pull back by the force of spring only. The spring cannot make full compression under high-speed model result in incomplete needle retraction. Under high-speed or longer needle length, it can causes severe skin scratch and pose great danger to skin safety.

Each micro needle puncture creates microchannels that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. The quality of needle tip is one of the most important factor affecting treatment result and safety. There are many type of needle tip in the market. It’s very hard to tell the difference for consumers. Please pay attention to the following points before buying.

In actual practice, the thinner the needle, the smaller the microchannel it creates. This enable less invasive, less painful and more microchannels for more efficiency treatment. However, if the needle is too thin, it may not  be strong enough for deep needling which may get bent or broken during needling especially for length over1.0 mm. In the market, most of the needle gauge ranges from 30 to 33. In our opinion. 30 (0.3mm) is a bit too thick. And 31(0.25mm) to 33(0.2mm) gauge should be ideal for professional microneedling. We use 33 needle gauge which is the thinnest in the market.
Example of bad quality needle tip:

Needle length can be adjustable from 0~2.5mm or 0~2.0mm. Very few devices provide fixed needle length. However, we found some needling pen has inaccurate needle length. For instance, when you want to select 1.0mm, the actual length was over 1.5mm. Such device pose potential danger to the treatment.
Below is the example of inaccurate needle length adjustment by fake My-M micro needle device.

There are mainly two type of needle shape in the market:

1. Round (sewing needle type)
2. Flat (lancet type)

Normally, flat needle type is used on derma rollers. However, there are some micro needling pens offering 21 needle tip or 36 needle tip with flat needle type . The needle pins are cowardly placed on the tiny plastic head. The needle width gets progressively wider especially from 0.5mm to 2.5mm. Such 21 needle and 36 needle is the worst design for micro needling. It cannot make full depth penetration. It also create very bad injuries and cause lots of pain. For professional needling, round needle is the ideal choice. All the well-known brand such as dermapen and micropen use round needle only.
Below is the 36 needle tips image.

36 needle tip creats overly crowed needling holes and severe tearing

The needle number includes: 6 needle pin, 9 needle pin, 12 needle pin, 21 needle pin and 36 needle pin.
The more the needle pin, the more efficiency of the needling treatment. However, please pay attention to the needle array, spaces between needles and needle shape. As we discussed about the needle shape, please don’t use any needle tip with flat needle shape. Also, if the needle pins are too crowded such as 21 needle and 36 needles, it will cause severe skin tearing and bleeding. In this consideration, we recommend to choose 9 needle, 12 needle or 13 needle tips. Our micro needle device use 13 needle tips with perfectly spaced needle pins.

Medical grade Stainless Steel 304 and Surgical grades of Stainless steel-316.
Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used materials in the manufacture of medical devices, in particular medical grade Stainless Steel 304 and surgical grade Stainless steel-316. Compared with SUS-304, SUS-316 has better characteristics especially for the hardness and sharpness.
Note: be aware some cheap needle tips use cheap steel materials. Such needles can easily get bent. And the hygiene standard is also unknown.

There are mainly two type of Sterilization technology for needle cartridge: Gamma Sterilization or Ethylene Oxide (EO) Sterilization. As our needle tip has a complex structure which includes plastic, needles and silicon membranes, we use EO Sterilization as it is compatible with all materials.

What’s the Difference between iBeautypen Tip and Dermapen Needle Tip?

Dermapen needle tips is 12 needle pin, while ours is 13 needle pin. However, we noted the dermapen needle cartridge is lack of anti-back-flow design. It doesn’t has the vented hole to release air pressure either.

Auto Micro Needling VS Fractional Laser Resurfacing

Auto Micro needling cost about 150 to 300USD per treatment. The minimum costs of aggressive laser therapy are about $500 dollar per treatment for the smallest area of your skin, for a whole body or face could be much more.
Microneedling does not use thermal heat unlike Lasers, it is safe to use on all skin types and all skin colors. There is no risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.
However, it can cause red bumpy patches for the next 2 days after the procedure, but this is due to the skin releasing toxins or old collagen fibers from the below surface of the skin. Micro-needle creates pores in the skin at about 0.2mm and does not burn the skin to promote collagen growth. It does promote the skin’s natural healing process.
Laser treated skin can cause permanent burns and injuries, especially for people with deeply pigmented skin might have a permanent lighter color on the area treated in laser or un-even skin tone. Burned skin reduces the protection of the body from resisting bacterial infections since it heals for a longer time and the skin’s natural moisture is lost.

Laser treated skin gets burned up, and a person who went thru the procedure should not to go directly or avoid staying under the sun even walking on the streets alone.
Auto microneedle treatment does not induce sun-sensitivity since it is being done by micro-needling.
