mdpen MicroNeedling User manual

Thank you for choosing MDPen™ MicroNeedling! MDPen is
a safe, effective and minimally invasive procedure that applies
micro needles to the skin, resulting in glowing, smoother and
younger looking skin.
MDPen has minimal downtime and can be performed on most
areas of the face and body, including the hands, lips, neck,
décolletage, thighs, back, buttocks and abdomen.

for face and body
Whether tethered or cordless, MDPenTM is easy to manipulate around
any area of the face or body.
The practitioner simply glides the pen along the surface of the
treatment area. The needlehead of the device does the work
automatically; the needles extend and retract at the appropriately
set depth and speed.
Ease of Use

Creating Micro Channels
MDPen rapidly creates a pattern of micro channels in the
treatment area. To aid in a smooth and comfortable treatment,
you may consider applying a serum during treatment.
Opting for Topicals
When selecting topical serums for optional use with MDPenTM,
choose formulations that:
• are medical grade
• increase blood circulation
• encourage cell regeneration
• provide essential nutrients to the dermis or epidermis
Avoid products that are vasoconstrictors, contain perfumes
or dyes, or could damage tissues or cause allergies.
• Cleanse the surface areas to be treated with MDPenTM.
• Gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells.
• Apply a topical anesthetic. Remove after 20 minutes.
• Use an antibacterial solution.
• Optional: Apply an even layer of the appropriate topical for the treatment.
Preparing the Skin for Treatment

Depth and Speed Selection
Considerations
• It is important to choose settings for speed and depth
that are appropriate for the skin surfaces to be treated.
See the diagram above for recommendations.
• Power on MDPenTM before selecting the needle depth. Be sure the
needle depth is set to ‘0’ before turning on the device.

Preperation and Application
• Ensure the needlehead will move up and down when you apply gentle pressure, before
attaching it to the pen.
• Attach the needlehead by inserting it into the tip of the MD PenTM, then rotating it gently
to the right until it stops turning.
• Move MD PenTM quickly over the skin, tracing straight lines or small circles on the forehead;
small circles on the cheeks and chin; straight lines or a stamping motion on the nose.
• Do not repeat the circle or line in the same area more than 3 or 4 times.
• When the treatment is complete, turn off MD Pen™ and remove the needle head by turning it
to the left. Dispose of the needle head in a medical sharps container.
