Power on MD Pen TM before selecting the needle depth. Be sure the needle depth is set to 0 before turning on the device.
Preperation and Application Ensure the needlehead will move up and down when you apply gentle pressure, before attaching it to the pen. Attach the needlehead by inserting it into the tip of the MD Pen TM, then rotating it gently to the right until it stops turning. Move MD Pen TM quickly over the skin, tracing straight lines or small circles on the forehead; small circles on the cheeks and chin; straight lines or a stamping motion on the nose. Do not repeat the circle or line in the same area more than 3 or 4 times. With your free hand, gently stretch the skin to aid the smooth gliding of the Pen. Do not apply undue pressure with the Pen and avoid sensitive skin areas. When the treatment is complete, replace the protective cap on MD Pen TM and remove the needle head by turning it to the left. Dispose of the needle head in a medical sharps container. Contraindications Contraindications and precautions include: keloid or raised scarring; history of eczema, psoriasis, actinic (solar) keratosis, herpes simplex infections, diabetes, or other chronic conditions; presence of raised moles, warts or any raised lesions on targeted area. Absolute contraindications include: scleroderma, collagen vascular diseases or cardiac abnormalities; rosacea or blood clotting problems; active bacterial or fungal infections; immuno-suppression; scars less than 6 months old; and facial fillers used in the past 6 months. Treatment is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or nursing. Best Practices Open the needlehead seal just before use, avoiding all contact with the needles. Needleheads are pre-sterilized and are for a single use. Use a new needle head for every patient. Make sure your MD Pen TM is fully charged before starting treatment. To prevent scratching, always lift MD Pen TM from the skin before making a pivot or change in direction. After treatment, apply moisturizer and sunscreen to the treatment area and instruct the patient to continue use at home.
Treatment Precautions During treatment, avoid contact with lips, immediate eye area, and eyelids. Do not use MD Pen TM on children, patients who are allergic to metals, or animals. If your patient displays an allergic reaction, immediately stop the treatment. In sensitive patients, hyperpigmentation can result from micro-needling treatments. Therefore, avoid applying undue pressure during treatment. Micro-needling is a fairly pain-free treatment, but the patient may experience itching, redness, swelling, or other skin irritations that are temporary. These symptoms should subside within two to three hours. Caring for Your md pen Clean your Pen after each use, and store it in its protective case.
