Microneedling: Perforation Images in Comparison of the Needle Systems
From our series: Device-based cosmetics
Microneedling is not just a short-lived trend among beauty treatments. Microneedling is above all an innovative treatment method with a great deal of potential – when technique and application are correct.
In three articles we want to present the differences of the various offerings to you:
• Perforation images of the respective needle head geometry (this page)
• Motor and drive concept: effects on the perforation
• Working speed and effects on the perforation image
The diverse microneedling devices and needle modules differ in essential details: technology, needle head geometry, working direction and working speed
Topic of this article:
Perforation images of the round head and the linear needle module
Linear needle module (9-10 needles) in one direction
• Working method only in one direction shows a very uniform image and virtually no multiple perforations
Round head module (9-40 needles) in one direction
• The working method in one direction shows an uneven perforation image due to the needle arrangement/round head geometry. Clear areas with multiple perforations and areas without perforations
Linear needle module in zigzag pattern
• A zigzag working method shows few overlaps and thus multiple perforations
Round head module in zigzag pattern
• A zigzag working method shows very many areas of multiple perforations
Linear needle module in checkerboard pattern
• The checkerboard pattern also shows a very uniform perforation image and hardly any multiple perforations
Round head module in circular motion
• The circular motion as a working method also shows a very uneven perforation image and areas without perforations
Our conclusion
For us, needling devices with a linear needle module show a clearly better perforation image in all three application possibilities. Due to the needle geometry, round head modules cause considerable multiple perforations (re-puncturing of an already existing injury) and thus tissue trauma and possibly increased scar formation in the dermis, depending on the penetration depth of the needles.

1. Microneedling Perforation Patterns – a Comparison of Existing Needle Systems in the Cosmetic-Professional Field
Not only a new trend, but an innovative treatment method with considerable potential – provided the technique and application are correct. In three articles we aim to present and explain the following differences:
• Perforation patterns of the respective needle-head geometry
• Motor and drive concept – effects on perforation
• Working speed and its effects on the perforation pattern
There are substantial differences among the various needling devices and needle modules with regard to technology, needle-head geometry, working direction and working speed. In this article we examine the perforation patterns of the round-head and linear needle modules.
The images speak for themselves and illustrate the following simplified perforation patterns:
• Linear module in one direction
• Round-head module in one direction
• Linear module in a zigzag pattern
• Round-head module in a zigzag pattern
• Linear module in a checkerboard pattern
• Round-head module in a circular motion
Linear needle module (9–10 needles)
• Working in one direction only produces a very uniform pattern with virtually no multiple perforations
Round-head module (9–40 needles)
• Working in one direction produces an uneven perforation pattern due to needle arrangement / round-head geometry. Distinct areas with multiple perforations and areas without perforations
Linear needle module
• A zigzag working method shows few overlaps and therefore few multiple perforations
Round-head module
• A zigzag working method shows very many areas of multiple perforations
Linear needle module
• A checkerboard pattern likewise produces a very uniform perforation pattern with hardly any multiple perforations
Round-head module (9–40 needles)
• The circular movement as the working method also shows a very uneven perforation pattern and areas without perforations
Our Conclusion
For us, needling devices with linear needle module show a significantly better perforation pattern in all three application possibilities. Due to the needle geometry, round head modules cause considerable multiple perforations (repeated puncture into an already existing injury) and thus tissue traumatizations and possibly increased scar formation in the dermis, depending on the needle penetration depth.
