If you've never had Dermapen before I generally recommend starting off at a slightly shallower depth and working deeper in subsequent sessions. Many providers(I don't know what the standard is in France) don't use topical anesthetics, but this will definitely decrease the discomfort when microneedling at deeper settings.
