Is micro needling with a pen or roller better?

cc4564
I had micro needling done at a dermatologist office with the eclipse micro pen; the cost was $300 for one treatment. After that I was doing some more research on micro needling and my esthetician said they do it at the spa with a derma roller for about $100. I have read conflicting reviews that each implement can tear the skin. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
