What the gurus are saying

This pen earns consistent praise for durability and real results on fine lines, wrinkles, pore size, and discoloration when used every four to six weeks, with gurus noting visible improvements within seven to ten days. The adjustable depth dial and high speed setting let people customize treatments for different body areas, though the sensation is described as a mild burn that subsides quickly. At under $300, it's positioned as a decade-long investment, though gurus caution to buy only from the official source to avoid counterfeits circulating on other retailers.

"I bought the cheapest version of the doctor pen. I didn't repurchase the A11 cuz that's not working. So, I repurchased this one, the M8s. Apparently uses the same cartridges. And so, some of the cartridges with the Terminator are a little bit more expensive. I think they're made a little differently. The technology it seems like is better. Um, so I just went and bought this. This end up being about 70 or 80 bucks I or so. Uh, so it's worth it cuz some of these cartridges I already own like a hundred or more. And uh, to me it seems like for like superficial treatments, I'll probably still use my doctor pen."

"This is the Dr. Pen M8S, my favorite microneedling tool. There's nothing fancy about it, but it will last you a decade, my old one lasted over a decade and I still haven't thrown it out. It's under $300 and comes with sterile cartridges."

Microneedling Crepey Tummy Skin! If you’re a midlife woman, or you’ve lost a bunch of weight
"This is the micro needling tool that I love, the Dr. Pen M8s. It's an at-home device with sterile needle cartridges. The depth goes from about 0.25 up to a 2.5, which is the highest it will go. On my abdomen I usually start at a 1.0 and go up to a 1.5, sometimes a 2.0 depending on the anatomy, going deeper where there's more cushion of fat and shallower over bone. It has adjustable speed, and I keep the speed high when I'm going deeper so the device doesn't drag the needles across the skin. It's a little burny, but that's okay. I think I got a really good treatment out of it and I'm pretty happy with it."
Microneedling Full Face Demonstration! 🪡Microneedling consistently at home is my number one way
"I've been microneedling consistently at home for over a decade, and it's my number one way to biohack my skin. I do a full face treatment with the Dr. Pen M8S every four to six weeks, using an eighteen pin cartridge, and I love it because you can use it on every single body part, including your face. Microneedling helps with fine lines and wrinkles, pore size, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration by calling on my body to produce collagen and elastin. I don't numb my face first and it really doesn't hurt as much as you'd think. I notice results seven to ten days after a session, and doing it consistently every four to six weeks is what creates real, dramatic changes over time. The pen is less than $300 plus free shipping, and it's one of the easiest ways to reverse age your skin at home."

"I'm using a Dr. Pen M8s today. I like this pen more than any other pen on the market. They came out with a new one that's digital and I don't like the digital one, I like to be able to control exactly how deep I go. The last one I had, the Dr. Pen M8, I had for over a decade and it never broke, they're really, really good devices, and the pen is under $300. Just don't buy them on Amazon, that device has been counterfeited so many times, so only buy from the authentic linked source."
