Dessnill 8-Speed Electric Microneedling Pen with 0-2.5mm needles, LCD, LED lights and 12 hyaluronic acid serum cartridges

The essentials

A home microneedling pen is one of those purchases that can either feel like a useful upgrade to your skincare routine or like an expensive gadget you don’t reach for. The Dessnill 8-Speed Electric Microneedling Pen is clearly built for the DIY crowd: it’s an electric, rechargeable pen with an LCD display for speed levels, adjustable needle depth (0–2.5mm), and a set of disposable needle cartridges designed to keep things more hygienic between uses.

Where it gets interesting is the “system” feel. You’re not just buying a pen—you’re getting sealed cartridges (12 single-packed options) and a hyaluronic acid facial serum, plus seven LED light modes. In practice, that means you can pick a speed and depth, use a cartridge, apply serum, and then optionally switch the light therapy mode as part of the session.

What to know before you buy

On paper, the adjustable needle depth (0–2.5mm) and the speed range (6000 to 24000 rpm across 8 settings) give you some control. The LCD display is a nice touch too because it reduces guesswork when you’re deciding how aggressive to be.

That said, microneedling at home is not a “one-size-fits-all” activity. Depth and frequency matter, and the included recommendation is every 7 days. If you’re looking for something that you can freely do more often, or if you’re hoping for instant “smoothing” after one session, it may leave you wanting more. Also, LED modes can be appealing, but they’re only one part of skin outcomes—your skincare prep, hygiene, and consistency still do most of the work.

It suits people who want a more controlled approach than a basic manual derma roller, especially if you like seeing the speed setting clearly.

Key features (and what they mean in real use)

The pen’s stainless steel housing and quiet motor are the kind of details that usually only matter once it’s in your hand. A quiet motor can make the whole session less jarring, and a rechargeable setup is practical if you don’t want to keep replacing batteries.

Speed and depth control is the core value here. For a typical facial routine, you could start with a lower speed and a shallower depth for first sessions, then only move up if you’re comfortable. For example: after cleansing, apply the included hyaluronic acid serum, fit a cartridge, select a suitable speed and needle depth, and work through your chosen areas in small sections. If you’re also using the lights, you’d select a mode that matches your goal for that session.

LED light modes: useful add-on or marketing?

The pen includes 7 therapy light colours: Red (fine lines and wrinkles), Blue (acne and inflammation), Violet (discolouration and acne spots), Green (healing support), Yellow (lymph circulation and skin immunity support), Light blue (facilitates metabolism), and White laser (blurs colour spots and improves lax skin).

It’s a thoughtful set of options, and for someone who already plans sessions around their skincare targets, it gives you a framework. Just bear in mind that LED isn’t the same as treatment in a clinical setting, and results (especially for anything deeper or persistent) can vary quite a bit.

Worth considering if you like the idea of tailoring a session by skin concern, but you may want to keep expectations grounded—this is a home microneedling setup, not a replacement for professional devices.

The cartridge + serum setup (hygiene and practicality)

This kit includes 12 single-packed disposable cartridges. The cartridges are described as individually sealed for safety and comfort, and the basic expectation is simple: replace the cartridge after each use.

It also includes 5 cartridges with 12 tips and 5 with 36 tips, plus 2 Nano Round Micro Needles cartridges (as described). That gives you flexibility in how you set up the session depending on what feels suitable to you.

One limitation to note: the exact “which cartridge is best for what” isn’t clearly mapped to your skin type in the information provided. So if you’re new to microneedling, you might find yourself sticking to the option that feels most comfortable rather than experimenting too widely.

Who it’s for (and who should be careful)

It makes sense if you want: - Adjustable needle depth up to 0–2.5mm and 8 speed modes (6000–24000 rpm) - A pen with LCD speed visibility and a rechargeable design - An at-home kit that includes sealed disposable cartridges and a hyaluronic acid serum - The option of seven LED light therapy modes during sessions

It’s not the best match if you’re expecting a completely “hands-off” solution, or if you’re the type to skip hygiene steps. Also, if you’re hoping for very frequent treatments beyond the suggested every-7-days routine, you may want to rethink—this kind of device generally rewards patience and consistency, not pushing it.

Is it worth it?

This Dessnill microneedling pen is worth a serious look if you’re comfortable with the idea of doing microneedling at home and you value control (depth + speed) plus the added LED modes. The sealed cartridges and replace-after-use approach are a practical move for hygiene, and the LCD display makes it easier to repeat your chosen settings.

You may want to skip it if you’re after quick results without careful setup, or if you’re likely to exceed the recommended weekly treatment rhythm. And if you don’t actually plan to use the LED modes or you’d rather keep things simple, a more basic microneedling device might fit better.

Before committing, it’s sensible to double-check your comfort with adjustable depth, your ability to follow hygiene and aftercare, and whether you’re happy to work within a weekly schedule.
