When you think of **microneedling**, what comes to mind? Some people will envision a microneedling roller, while others may think of a microneedling pen. Both types of microneedling create micro-injuries that will trigger the body’s natural healing process. However, one offers superior results with reduced discomfort.

## What Is a Microneedling Roller?
Microneedling rollers, also called derma rollers, were one of the first microneedling devices to arrive at medspas and clinics across the country. As the name suggests, these devices are rolled across the skin. Tiny needles ring the entire device, and they puncture the skin as the device is rolled over the face. Some clinics still use derma rollers during their microneedling services. Thankfully, technology has improved a lot! There’s a new kid on the block that far outperforms the derma roller.

## What Is a Microneedling Pen?
A microneedling pen looks like a large pen. The head has a series of tiny needles that gently prick the skin. Here’s why it matters. A microneedling pen offers superior control and customization. You can set the exact depth, and providers will adjust the depth on different areas of the face. Each area of the face requires different depths for the best results, so this customization is an important part of your treatment plan.

Microneedling pens are also superior because they create more controlled micro-injuries. The needles on the pen move straight up and down, making precise injuries in the skin with one controlled prick. Derma rollers, on the other hand, puncture the skin in a rolling motion, often tearing the skin as the needling pulls out at a slightly different angle. When your provider uses a microneedling pen, you will notice fewer side effects, more rapid healing, and less recovery time.
