Match Your Microneedling to Your Skin Type

One-size microneedling is a myth. Tune your Pylai Pen routine to your skin type and tone so you get glow without backlash.

Dry Skin

• Depth: 0.25–0.5 mm, slower speed to reduce drag.
• Post-care: HA + ceramide-rich moisturizer; skip alcohol toners.
• Frequency: every 4 weeks to avoid barrier stress.

Oily or Congested Skin

• Depth: 0.25–0.5 mm; resist the urge to “go deeper” for pores.
• Post-care: light gel hydrators; introduce niacinamide on day 3–5.
• Frequency: every 3–4 weeks; keep exfoliation light on off-weeks.

Sensitive or Reactive Skin

• Depth: stay at 0.25–0.3 mm.
• Post-care: panthenol/centella only; no fragrances or acids for a full week.
• Frequency: every 5–6 weeks; patch-test products ahead of sessions.

Deeper Skin Tones

• Risk: post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation if too deep or too frequent.
• Depth: 0.25–0.4 mm; avoid aggressive crosshatching.
• Essentials: daily SPF 50, gentle actives like azelaic or tranexamic on off-days.

Universal Rules

• Fresh cartridge every time.
• No makeup, sauna, or gym for 24 hours.
• If redness lingers past 48 hours, widen your interval and lower depth.

Dialing settings to your skin type keeps microneedling in the glow zone, not the danger zone.
