Comfort & safety
Gentle by design.
Everything about Olapen is built to keep at-home sessions comfortable and hygienic.
Ultra-fine needlesSome of the thinnest available, for a more comfortable session.
No draggingNeedles move straight in and out of the skin, so they never drag or tear across it like a roller.
Back to your day straight awaySkin looks a little pink, like a mild sunburn, and the redness usually settles within 48–72 hours. Skip makeup for the first 24 hours and hard workouts for a couple of days.
Sterile every timeA fresh, sealed cartridge for every session. Never reuse, never share.
Build up graduallyBegin at a shallow depth and go deeper only as your skin gets used to it.
Check before you start. Don't use over active breakouts, broken or irritated skin, or raised moles. Speak to a healthcare provider first if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, take blood thinners, have used isotretinoin in the last six months, or have a skin or medical condition.
How it works
Set it up
Click in the cartridge for the area you're treating, then set the depth and speed.
Treat
Work in small, overlapping sections. The needles stamp straight in and out, creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the top layer of the skin or scalp.
Let skin renew
This prompts the skin's natural repair process, including collagen. Follow your aftercare, rest between sessions, and results build gradually over a course.

Questions
Still unsure? Email support@olapen.com or call +44 7498 374869, Mon–Fri 9am–5pm.
Does microneedling hurt?
You may feel some discomfort, redness or sensitivity during and after treatment, depending on the area, needle depth and your own sensitivity. Olapen cartridges use ultra-fine 0.18mm needles that stamp straight in and out rather than dragging across the skin.
Is there any downtime?
Very little. You can get on with your day straight after a session. Your skin may look pink or red, like a mild sunburn, and this usually settles within 48–72 hours. Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours, and avoid hard workouts, saunas and strong sun for a couple of days.
How soon will I notice results?
Some improvements may become noticeable after several weeks. More substantial changes can take multiple treatments over several months. Results vary.
Can I use Olapen on my face and scalp?
Yes. Olapen supports facial and scalp treatments using the appropriate cartridges and settings. Always follow the instructions for your treatment area.
Which cartridge should I use?
It depends on your concern and the area. Once the pen is in your bag, tap “Which do I need?” and answer a few quick questions to get matched to the right cartridges.
What's the difference between microneedling and nanoneedling?
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled punctures in the skin. Nanoneedling works more superficially and is generally used for surface-level skin care rather than deeper collagen stimulation.
Are the cartridges reusable?
No. Needle cartridges are single-use and should be safely disposed of after each treatment. Never reuse or share them.
How long will delivery take?
Shipping is free and tracked. Delivery typically takes 5–10 business days from the date you order.
What if it isn't for me?
You're covered by our 60-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year protected warranty. See our Returns & Refunds Policy.
