Dermapen® vs. MD Needle Pen

Why Pay More for the Same Microneedling Technology?

If you’re in the aesthetics industry, you’ve likely heard of microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). This well-established treatment uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels stimulate the skin’s natural rejuvenation process—boosting collagen, improving tone and texture, and delivering powerful results with minimal downtime.

Microneedling has become a go-to treatment across medical spas, skin clinics, and cosmetic practices for a reason:

It’s safe for most skin types
It’s affordable for clients compared to laser or RF treatments
It’s versatile, addressing a wide range of concerns including skin aging, texture, and pigmentation.

Understanding the Cost Behind Microneedling Devices

After more than two decades in the cosmetic medical field, we’ve worked with a wide range of technologies. Some—like lasers—require extensive FDA submissions and high overhead, which understandably inflates their pricing. But microneedling is a different story.

Microneedling has been studied for years—first with single needles, then dermal rollers, and now modern motorized pens. The fundamental technology behind most microneedling pens is nearly identical:

Yet, some device manufacturers charge exorbitant fees for pens and cartridges that function nearly the same as more affordable alternatives. Marketing claims often focus on small design details—like needle arrangement, backflow prevention, or grip feel—but the core mechanism remains 99% the same.

So Why Pay More?

At MD Needle Pen, we asked the same question—and designed a better solution:

  • Same professional-grade results
  • Safe, sterile, single-use cartridges
  • Anti-backflow and cross-contamination protection
  • Advanced pen models with LED tip lights, digital speed control, and cordless use
  • More affordable pricing for both devices and cartridges

We keep our prices accessible by minimizing overhead, going direct-to-practitioner, and offering digital resources instead of expensive print or PR campaigns.

Before sharing our confidence in the MD Needle Pen, we did our homework. We and our network of experienced professionals compared the MD Needle Pen side-by-side with several top microneedling devices currently on the market. The result? Comparable client outcomes—with a significantly lower price point.

In fact, most practitioners were shocked to learn that the cost of our entire MD Needle Pen system was less than what they typically pay just for a box of cartridges from other brands.

Why Consider the MD Needle Pen?

Aesthetic businesses thrive on results and margins. Why pay more for branding when you can get medical-grade performance at up to 80% savings?

Microneedling That Makes Sense—Clinically and Financially

If you’re looking for your first microneedling device—or are ready to replace an overpriced one—the MD Needle Pen delivers unmatched value. Popular brands like Dermapen, CosmoPen, Collagen P.I.N., Cytopen, Rejuvapen, Mesopen, and Eclipse may offer similar technology, but at significantly higher costs and less personalized support.
