Microneedling: Dermapen versus ProCell Stamper?

Question

I'm 38 years old, generally look good for my age. I've been interested in exploring ways to rejuvenate my face (minor sun damage, fine lines) beyond basic skincare and I've seen some impressive results with microneedling. Noticed a switch from Dermapen to Procell Stamper- which is more effective with less downtime? Also I'm seeing conflicted views about how deep needles need to penetrate to have a true impact on stimulating fibroblast and collagen synthesis. Would love your thoughts! Thanks.

Microneedling, also known as Epidermal Collagen Induction Therapy can be used in the treatment of the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, sun damage and the improvement of the skin's texture, tone and color. The needles penetrate 2mm in depth , which is optimal for collagen induction and thus skin rejuvenation. Platelet Rich Plasma is a concentration of platelets in the blood that are crucial to the skin's regeneration process. when used for skin rejuvenation with Mircroneedling, PRP releases growth factors into the skin to expedite your body's own repair process and stimulate new collagen and elastin. patients will notice an immediate glow to their skin. visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several weeks

Dermapen - Microneedling- is a device that creates the micro channels to deliver a product to your skin. ProCell Stamper is the same technique referring to Microneedling with microdermabrasion. Procell is the product applied once the Microneedling is done.
The most important for procedures such as Microneedling is to select the right depth and the right product  for the particular skin problem that is been treated. 
For signs of early aging my patients have excellent results using Microneedling with PRP, which is a concentrate of growth factors from your own blood. I hope it helps. Best, LM
