Dr. Pen Cartridge Comparison

This page has been created to help you understand which size of Dr. Pen Australia cartridge is the most suitable for your skin concerns. Please keep in mind that this is a general guide only, but we hope it helps you make an informed decision about the best option for your skin. 

Nano Needle Cartridges
Nano needle cartridges are designed primarily to enhance product absorption rather than create deep micro-channels in the skin. They are ideal for applying serums, active ingredients and skincare products to improve penetration and overall treatment effectiveness. Nano needling is gentle and suitable for frequent treatments.

11 Pin & 12 Pin Cartridges – Targeted Facial Treatments
The 11-pin and 12-pin cartridges are ideal for targeted facial microneedling treatments where more focused stimulation is required. These cartridges are commonly used to address deeper acne scarring, stubborn wrinkles and areas requiring more intensive collagen induction. They provide a more aggressive treatment compared to higher-pin cartridges and are best used on specific facial areas rather than the entire face.

14 Pin, 16 Pin & 18 Pin Cartridges – General Facial Rejuvenation
These cartridges are designed for full-face treatments and provide a more comfortable and balanced microneedling experience. They are ideal for addressing fine lines, mild scarring, pigmentation, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture and overall skin rejuvenation. 

24 Pin, 36 Pin & 42 Pin Cartridges – Larger or Sensitive Areas
Higher pin cartridges are best suited for larger treatment areas or more delicate skin, such as the scalp, neck, décolletage, and upper or inner thighs. Because the pins are more densely distributed, the treatment is generally gentler but covers a wider area efficiently. These cartridges may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.

Rest assured that whichever Dr. Pen Australia microneedling pen you choose and whichever cartridge size you use, you're getting the most premium-grade device available.
