The Dr. Pen M8 is an auto microneedle system designed for skin care applications, available in both wireless (M8-W) and wired (M8-C) models. This device is intended for personal or professional use to stimulate skin rejuvenation through microneedling.
Function Description:
The Dr. Pen M8 operates by creating microscopic punctures in the skin using a cartridge of fine needles. This process, known as microneedling, aims to stimulate the skin's natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. The device is designed to improve the appearance of various skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin texture. The adjustable needle depth allows for customized treatments based on individual skin needs and target areas. The motorized action ensures consistent and controlled needle penetration, which is crucial for effective and safe microneedling. The device's multiple speed settings provide flexibility, allowing users to adjust the intensity of the treatment from a gentle application to a more intensive session, depending on their comfort level and desired outcome.
Usage Features:
The Dr. Pen M8 is designed for ease of use with several key operational features.
Power and Charging:
- Wireless Model (M8-W): This model offers the flexibility of being used with either its built-in battery or directly connected to an AC power source. To charge the battery, the DC adapter is plugged into the device's power interface and then into an AC outlet. The charging status is indicated by a power indicator light: it stays red while charging and turns green once charging is complete. This allows for cordless operation, providing greater freedom of movement during treatments.
- Wired Model (M8-C): This model operates exclusively with AC power. Users must plug the DC adapter into the device's jack and then into an AC outlet for the device to function.
Needle Cartridge Installation and Removal:
- Installation: To prepare the device for use, a sterilized needle cartridge is taken from its packaging. The round slot on the needle cartridge is aligned with the corresponding slot on the machine. The cartridge is then pushed horizontally up to the end of the device. To secure the cartridge, it is locked by turning it counterclockwise.
- Removal: To remove a used needle cartridge, it is turned clockwise and then pushed out horizontally from the device. This ensures a hygienic and straightforward process for replacing cartridges after each use.
Device Operation:
- Starting/Shutting Down: The Dr. Pen M8 is started or shut down by pressing the power button for 2-3 seconds. This simple control mechanism makes the device intuitive to operate.
- Needle Length Adjustment: The depth of the needles can be precisely adjusted by turning the scale adjustment ring located on the device. Turning the ring clockwise will shorten the needle depth, while turning it counterclockwise will lengthen it. This feature is critical for tailoring treatments to different skin areas and concerns, ensuring both safety and efficacy.
- Speed Adjustment: The device offers 6 speed settings, allowing users to control the intensity of the microneedling treatment. The pen starts from a low speed and progresses to higher speeds. Each press of the power/speed button changes the speed setting, with the current speed displayed on the speed display screen. This allows for gradual increases in intensity as needed.
Needle Cartridge Variety:
The Dr. Pen M8 supports a range of needle cartridges, each designed for specific treatment purposes. These include:
- 11 Needles
- 16 Needles
- 24 Needles
- 36 Needles
- 42 Needles
- RNANO Needles
- SNANO/3DNANO Needles
- 5DNANO Needles
This variety allows users to select the most appropriate cartridge for their specific treatment goals, whether it's for general skin rejuvenation, targeted scar treatment, or enhanced product absorption.
Maintenance Features:
Proper maintenance is essential for ensuring the longevity and safe operation of the Dr. Pen M8.
General Maintenance:
- Pre-Use Inspection: Before each use, it is important to inspect both the device and the adapter to ensure they are in good working condition and free from any damage.
- Cleaning: After use, the device should be kept with its power off. Its surface should be wiped clean with a dry cloth. This helps maintain hygiene and prevents the buildup of residue.
- Storage: The device should be stored away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity. These conditions can potentially damage the electronic components and affect the device's performance.
- Professional Servicing: To prevent damage or improper function, any measurement, repair, or alteration of the device should only be performed by professional staff. Users are advised not to disassemble or alter the controller or the body themselves.
- Periodic Checks: If the device has not been used for a long period, it is recommended to check if it works properly and safely before resuming use.
Precautions for Use:
- Inversion Prevention: To protect the instrument and prevent liquid backflow, the device should not be inverted during operation or storage.
- Power Source: The device should only be used with the specified AC power (AC 220V for wired models, or the built-in battery for wireless models). Using an incorrect power source can lead to fires or malfunction.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid using the device near areas with high temperature, dust, or humidity (e.g., near a humidifier), as these conditions can cause malfunction.
- Handling: Do not touch the device or detach the power cords with wet hands, as this poses a risk of electric shock.
- Cord Integrity: Do not use stripped or propped cords. If a cord is damaged, it should be replaced immediately to prevent fires or electric shock.
- Unplugging: When the device is not in use for an extended period, it should be unplugged from the outlet.
- Troubleshooting: If any troubles are found with the device, it should be inspected and repaired by qualified personnel.
- Operator Control: Only the designated operator should handle the device to prevent accidents or malfunction.
By adhering to these usage and maintenance guidelines, users can ensure the safe, effective, and long-lasting performance of their Dr. Pen M8 auto microneedle system.
