The Hydra Pen H3 microneedling pen features a serum applicator cartridges to aid in getting topical treatments into your skin. The built-in 700mAh battery allows the unit to be used wirelessly, and the standard Type C port allows it to be charged easily and keeps cable hassle to a minimum.

Whilst the capital outlay for an automatic microneedling pen is greater than a manual roller, the cartridges are much cheaper, providing savings over the long run.

DUE TO THE MUCH GREATER POPULARITY OF THE A9 PEN COMPARED WITH THE H3 MODEL, WE HAVE DECIDED TO ONLY RETAIL THE A9 GOING FORWARD. THE REMAINING H3 UNITS WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY DISCOUNTED UNTIL SOLD OUT.

REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES FOR THE H3 WILL CONTINUE TO BE STOCKED UNTIL 2027.

What Is Microneedling?

In short, microneedling is a form of collagen induction therapy, a factually proven treatment for a wide range of skin conditions ranging from minor skin wrinkles to deep stretch marks. The Hydra Pen H3 can be set from 0.00mm to 1.00mm and is best suited for use on the face, head and neck - now there is no need to buy multiple manual rollers or stamps!

What Skin Conditions Can Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling has been proven to treat a number of different skin problems, such as:

• Wrinkles
  
• Skin tightness
• Scarring
• Burns
• Stretch marks
• Hyperpigmentation
• Hypopigmentation
• Sagging skin
• Sun damage

It's also been used as a method of rejuvenating hair growth and as a means of increasing serum absorption.

Is This Scientifically Proven?

Yes, a number of studies have been done on microneedling over the past few years (and decades even). For instance, check out this study done on stretch marks (stretch marks are also referred to as striae distensae).

Why Are You So Much Cheaper Than Other New Zealand Stores?

As you can see from all of our products, we are priced much lower than the competition. We work on a low margin/high volume model, meaning we buy in bulk and get lower pricing from the factory.

Automatic Derma Pen or Manual Derma Device?

We recommend you try a manual device to begin with, to ensure you are happy with how microneedling works. From there, you can upgrade to a premium automatic device if you're happy with the results.

Usage Instructions:

* Please see the video on this page for a visual representation on how to use this device. In addition, instructions are included below and within the included instruction booklet *

1. Wash hands.
2. Sterilize the cartridge prior to use (it is sterile from the factory, but it is safest to repeat this process yourself).
3. Put serum/essence into the cartridge and attach cover.
4. Set cartridge serum output rate.
5. Insert cartridge into the pen and set the desired needle depth.
6. Glide cartridge across your skin in a circular pattern.
   
7. Once finished, remove cartridge and sterilize it again if you plan on reusing it (note that the needles become blunt through use and it is recommended to discard them after one or two uses). Never share the cartridges.

If using with a serum you should stick with one that is not too strong (so no Retin-A). Hyaluronic acid is a safe option.

Important Notice:

It is strongly recommended to use serum or essence that is not too watery. If the liquid is too thin (like water) then it will be released too quickly regardless of the cartridge release level chosen.

Change of Mind Returns & Warranty:

If upon receiving your order you are undecided about using it, please do not open the packaging.

Upon return we will refund your order in full. This applies to change of mind returns.
