Not exactly — professional microneedling is performed in a clinic by trained professionals and may use deeper settings depending on skin concerns. Dermavion is designed for controlled at-home use, focusing on consistency and safe technique rather than aggressive depth.

If you’re new to microneedling, start conservative and build gradually. Results come from routine, not intensity.

Most people describe the feeling as a light prickling or vibration rather than pain. You can start on the lowest setting and gradually increase as you become more comfortable. Avoid using the device on broken or inflamed skin.

For most skin types, a full-face treatment every 3–4 weeks is ideal. This gives your skin time to repair and build new collagen between sessions.

Many sensitive-skin users do well with microneedling when they use gentle settings, hydrating serums and a simple post-treatment routine. If you have diagnosed skin conditions, check with your dermatologist first.

0.25mm — beginners, serum absorption, glow, very sensitive areas

0.5mm — texture, pores, early fine lines (most common “starter” for normal skin)

0.75mm — more advanced users, targeted concerns (use cautiously)

1.5mm+ — typically considered professional territory for many users

Some people notice a smoother feel and extra glow after the first session. More dramatic changes, such as improvement in fine lines or old marks, typically appear over 4–8 weeks of consistent use.
