Quick Guide: Recommended depth for at home microneedling 0.1 to 0.3 mm. Traction on the skin can help with needle penetration. . Dermapen or Skin Pens deliver needles vertically. This decreases the theoretical issue of tissue treating, however raised the issue of tissue dragging, especially if needles are too long, motor is weak, batteries (if applicable) are low on voltage, technique is poor or skin friction is high. . Skin Needling via a roller is the most cost effective method of microneedling. Use of needle lengths around 0.25 mm is best. Done properly, it will cause dermal bleeding. . Derma Stamps: Probably the safest of the lot for at home use. Vertical delivery without drag or potential to tear. Disadvantages include time as well as awkward areas (stamping area is large).
