Does RPM matter in microneedling?

Question

Seems like the higher end pens have higher speeds, but does this actually make a difference, other than being potentially less painful? Is higher RPM more effective?

Jamé Heskett, MD · Answer

Hi, great question!
RPMs or how fast the needles are oscillating in and out of the skin makes a difference both in discomfort as you stated, but also in the number of holes made in the skin over time. So at higher rpms you are going to be able to get more punctures, in a shorter amount of time with less pain, all of which lead to better results. 
I hope that helps, 
Dr. Heskett
