Dr. Pen cartridges vary by pin count and type, with nano cartridges ideal for product absorption and non-invasive treatments, 9-12 pin cartridges best for targeted treatments like deep acne scars and fine lines, 16-18 pin cartridges offering a balance for lighter scarring and texture, and 24-42 pin cartridges for wider, gentler coverage on large areas like the face, neck, and body. The number of pins affects treatment intensity and speed, with more pins covering areas faster and fewer pins providing deeper, more aggressive penetration for specific issues.
Cartridge Types Explained
-
Nano Cartridges:These are non-invasive cartridges used for increasing product absorption and gentle skin treatments like BB Glow, lip lines, and whitening.
-
Fewer Pins (9-12 Pins):Provide precision and deeper penetration for aggressive treatments of deep-set issues like acne scars, fine lines, and stretch marks.
-
Mid-Range Pins (16-18 Pins):Offer a balance between penetration and gentleness, suitable for targeting lighter scarring, pigmentation, and improving overall texture.
-
More Pins (24-42 Pins):Cover larger surface areas more quickly and are generally gentler, making them ideal for the face, neck, and body.
