Hidden Cost Items

Frequently Asked Questions
How often can I use a home device?
Most home devices are used every 2 to 4 weeks. Follow the manufacturer interval to avoid over treating the skin.
What needle depth should I use?
Depth depends on the area and goal. Forehead and cheeks typically use 0.5 to 1.0 mm, while the jawline can tolerate up to 1.5 mm.
How do I choose between 12 and 36 needle cartridges?
36 needle cartridges cover larger areas faster, while 12 needle heads suit smaller, precise areas. Both work well when used at the right depth.
How do I clean my device?
Clean the handle and cables with a medical wipe before and after use. Never reuse needle cartridges.

Are home devices effective?
Home devices with needles under 0.5 mm can improve product absorption but produce limited collagen change. They suit maintenance rather than deep remodeling.
