Why the Needle Depths Are Different
Needle depth isn’t just a number — it determines how the pen works, what it’s best for, and how your skin responds.
Hydra Pen (H3/H5) – 0–1.0mm
Designed for direct serum infusion. Staying under 1mm keeps treatments gentle, safe, and comfortable — perfect for boosting hydration and absorption without irritation. Best for sensitive skin or regular maintenance.
Bio Pen Q2 – 0–1.5mm
Pairs microneedling with EMS technology, which stimulates the skin and pushes products deeper even without long needles. Shallower depths mean less trauma, quicker recovery, and impressive results for firmness, texture, and elasticity. The Q2 also uses our most advanced, precision-engineered cartridges — smoother, sharper, and more consistent than standard options.
Dr. Pen (A11, M8S, M8, A6, etc.) – 0–2.5mm
Offers the widest depth range, making it the most versatile. Ideal for general microneedling and deeper, targeted work like acne scars, stretch marks, and stubborn texture issues that require more intensive stimulation.
