Stamping method with pen

Hello,

I am going to start microneedling at home (have had it done in-office a couple times) and purchased a pen, and I am curious about the stamping method - what pen speed should you use if stamping the pen? Thanks for any info anyone can provide!

What pen speed?

Hello, I am about to try microneedling at home for the first time and am having trouble finding info on what speed to put the pen at.

I purchased the Korabeautical's V2 pen and plan to do my face and neck at .5mm (maybe go up to 1mm on just a couple spots where I have deeper acne scarring once I feel comfortable in the future). I did see it says that, in general, the higher the speed, the deeper the needles can get too. I did find a speed chart from the Dr Pen website and am wondering if it can be applied to the Korabeauticals pen too? I've heard they are almost the same pen. Thank you for any advice!

From Dr Pen's site:

Forehead, Eyes, Cheekbones - 1-3
Nose, by lips - 1-2
Cheeks - 2-4
Body - 2-6

What about on the neck? Is that 2-6 also?
