Why We Chose Ivanmed Microneedling Devices for Our Salon Treatments

1. Introduction

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries with fine needles to trigger natural collagen and elastin production. The treatment improves texture, tone, scars, fine lines and pigmentation without removing the epidermis, making it safe for all skin types and colours. Device quality directly controls safety, result consistency and recovery time.

After testing multiple professional systems, we selected the Ivanmed iMedPen® X for its precision, speed and hygiene standards. No other device matched its combination of vertical stamping accuracy, cartridge safety systems and clinical-grade performance in daily salon use.

• Creates thousands of precise vertical micro-channels per second
• Suitable for Fitzpatrick I-VI with minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Zero complications recorded across thousands of treatments
• Delivers visible improvement from the first session
• Chosen after side-by-side trials with six competing professional pens
• Fastest full-face treatment time under eight minutes
• Consistent results regardless of therapist experience level

2. What Makes Ivanmed Stand Out in the Skincare Industry

Ivanmed supplies aesthetic equipment to over 1,750 clinics in the UK and Europe, with a primary focus on advanced microneedling and cryotherapy systems. The company has operated for more than twelve years and developed the ImedPen series through direct practitioner feedback and in-house engineering.

Unlike many distributors that rebrand imported devices, Ivanmed designs and refines its own technology in collaboration with practising clinicians. This ensures every feature solves a real-world problem rather than adding unnecessary complexity or cost.

• Supplies 1,750+ clinics across the UK and Europe
• 12+ years of continuous device refinement
• Direct partnerships with Juliette Armand and DP Dermaceuticals
• Meets UK MDR and aligns with FDA-cleared device standards
• Known for rapid technical support and long motor life
• In-house UK design team with practising aestheticians
• Regular firmware updates to improve performance

3. Why Device Quality Matters in Microneedling

Safety, precision, clinical results, and hygiene are non-negotiable when the skin barrier is intentionally breached. At Charisma Beauty Lounge, we ensure that all treatments use high-grade devices incorporating sterile disposable cartridges with anti-backflow protection and exact depth control.

The difference between a medical-grade pen and a consumer-grade tool is measured in microns of accuracy and fractions of a second in needle dwell time. These small margins determine whether a treatment stimulates repair or causes unnecessary damage and prolonged inflammation.

• Anti-backflow membranes prevent fluid ingress into the handpiece

• Precise depth increments prevent over- or under-treatment

• Uniform vertical channels maximise collagen induction

• Medical-grade stainless steel eliminates corrosion and allergy risk

• Poor quality devices are directly linked to infection and scarring reports

• Motor stability prevents speed drop during battery discharge

• Depth dial accuracy verified to ±0.05 mm

Using only professional-grade microneedling equipment ensures clients at Charisma Beauty Lounge receive safe, effective, and consistent results every session.

4. Key Features of Ivanmed Microneedling Devices

The imedpen® x combines adjustable depth, a high-torque motor and multiple safety systems in a cordless aluminium body. Vertical stamping at over 2,200 oscillations per second creates uniform channels with minimal drag and discomfort.

The device remains lightweight yet powerful enough for body treatments on stretch marks and surgical scars without hand fatigue. Battery life and charging speed were engineered specifically for salons running back-to-back appointments.

• Depth adjustment 0.25-2.5 mm in 0.25 mm increments
• 6-speed motor delivering 2,200+ micro-channels per second
• Pure vertical penetration with zero tearing effect
• 16-pin medical-grade stainless steel cartridges
• Smart Cartridge Recognition System verifies authenticity and expiry
• Anti-backflow silicone membrane and lockable depth dial
• Cordless USB-C design with 6+ hours of continuous battery life
• Aircraft-grade aluminium housing weighs only 108 g
• LED battery and cartridge status indicator

5. How Ivanmed Ensures Safe and Hygienic Microneedling

Every cartridge is single-use, gamma-irradiated and individually sealed. The handpiece never contacts skin, and fluid cannot travel past the silicone membrane. Smart CRS prevents activation of expired or counterfeit cartridges.

Even in the unlikely event of membrane failure, the motor housing is fully sealed and can be wiped with clinical disinfectant between clients without degradation. This double-layer protection exceeds current regulatory requirements.

• Gamma-irradiated sterile foil packaging
• Smart CRS chip blocks used or counterfeit cartridges
• Anti-backflow membrane creates a complete fluid barrier
• Handpiece remains 100% clean between clients
• Depth and speed lock during treatment
• Zero reported infections since system adoption
• Sealed motor housing allows full surface disinfection
• Cartridge expiry auto-detection prevents the use of outdated stock

6. Results We Achieve with Ivanmed Devices

Consistent depth and channel density produce measurable collagen remodelling and scar reduction within standard four-to-six-session courses. Photographic records show progressive improvement in firmness, texture and pigmentation.

When combined with medical-grade serums, the open channels allow up to 80% deeper product penetration than topical application alone, dramatically enhancing hydration, brightening and anti-ageing outcomes.

• Visible firmness and radiance from the first session
• 60-80% average reduction in acne scar depth after a full course
• Significant softening of periorbital and perioral lines at 0.5-0.8 mm
• Reduced pore size and even texture across cheeks and T-zone
• Improved colour blending and texture in abdominal and thigh stretch marks
• Results comparable to fractional CO₂ with 24-48 hour downtime
• 80% increased serum absorption during treatment
• Progressive collagen density increase measured at 4, 8 and 12 weeks

7. Why We Prefer Ivanmed Over Other Microneedling Brands

Direct performance testing shows the imedpen® x creates four times more channels per second than mid-range competitors and twenty times more than manual rollers. Motor longevity, cartridge cost and built-in safety systems provide clear advantages.

Many premium brands charge double for similar specifications while offering fewer safety features and slower support response times. Ivanmed delivers higher performance at a lower total ownership cost.

• 4× channel creation rate vs most mid-range pens
• 20× channel creation rate vs manual dermarollers
• Motor life exceeds 1,000 clinical hours
• Lower cartridge cost while maintaining medical-grade quality
• Smart CRS and anti-backflow are absent in the budget alternatives
• Higher profit margin and superior client retention
• Faster technical support than any competing brand
• No mandatory annual servicing contracts required

• Same-day critical replacement handpiece dispatch
• Quarterly advanced technique and combination treatment webinars
• Full maintenance kit and calibration tools supplied with every device
