Learning how to microneedle your face properly can transform your skin, but understanding facial structure and technique is essential for safe and effective results. That's where face mapping comes in. By dividing the face into targeted zones, you can use the right microneedling technique and needle depth based on each area's sensitivity and needs.
Whether you're using a professional pen or learning how to microneedle at home with a pen, face mapping helps you treat the right zones the right way. In this guide, we'll show you how to map your face needle in each zone effectively and care for your skin after treatment.
Face mapping is an easy way to break the face into sections, helping you treat each area based on its unique texture, thickness, and specific skin concerns. This approach allows for a customized microneedling experience.
Each area of the face, like the forehead, cheeks, chin, and under-eye region, has different sensitivity levels and ideal needle depths. Using a microneedling map helps guide your session, ensuring you're not over-treating thin areas or under-treating thicker ones.
This targeted method is especially helpful for beginners or anyone following a Dr. Pen tutorial for at-home treatments.
For the best results, start by breaking the face into six main zones so you can treat each area with the care it needs.
Each zone may require a different needle depth, which is where a needle depth microneedling face chart comes in handy.
Before you begin, cleanse your face thoroughly and apply a numbing cream if needed. Use a sanitized Dr. Pen device with a fresh needle cartridge. If you’re using booster serums, apply them during the treatment. From there, follow these simple steps:
Remember that needle depth above 1 mm should only be used by trained professionals.
After your session apply aftercare products. Avoid washing your face for several hours, use thermal water if you have to; after 8-12 hours you may gently rinse your face with cool water or a mild cleanser. For at least 24 to 48 hours, avoid cosmetics, exfoliants, and active chemicals like retinol or acids. Instead, use a soothing, hydrating serum, such as hyaluronic acid, to relax the skin.
Even if you're staying indoors, keep your face hydrated and apply a high-SPF sunscreen. For the best healing results, avoid sweating, saunas, and direct sunshine for at least 48 hours.
Face mapping combined with the proper microneedling method can significantly improve your results, especially when used with a high-quality Dr. Pen microneedling device. Contact Dr. Pen for tools, instructions, and expert support, or browse our selection of microneedling pens today
