Whether meso or micro, these pro devices ensure the best and safest needling results

Smart Group

Using 25 hollow needle point microtips to deliver product into the skin, the Smart Meso machine claims to increase ingredient absorption by 84%. The tips reach just 0.5mm and do not draw blood, ideal for clients looking for skin rejuvenation without pain or downtime. The device also performs electroporation for deep dermal product penetration using a controlled electrical impulse, permeating the cell membrane for enhanced treatment results. A full face and neck treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes and a range of mesotherapy serums is available for use with the device.

Trade: £2,750

Crystal Clear

The Comcit Elite combines microneedling with cryo oxygen, ingredient infusion and oxygen infusion in one device. The disposable roller head uses needles ranging between 0.25 and 1mm, creating microchannels for the infusion of serum into the lower layers of the skin. Cryo oxygen is fed through the roller for simultaneous skin cooling during treatment, helping to reduce discomfort. The brand says Comcit treatments increase skin firmness, replace lost moisture and reverse damage caused by free radicals.

Trade: £12,499

Rejuvapen

Rejuvapen NXT uses 12 superfine stainless steel needles at a depth ranging from 0.01 to 2.5mm. It has a digital control with nine speed settings and uses patent-pending tips that create a barrier between the needle cartridge and the device. The tip’s scalloped edge also helps reduce suction and clogging when the device is in action. Manufactured in the US, Rejuvapen is made from medical-grade aluminium and has an ergonomic, lightweight design to improve therapist comfort during treatment.

Trade: £1,600
