H12 12-Pin Replacement Cartridges

The H12 series uses a 12-pin configuration and is available in three fixed-depth options.

This gives professional users a straightforward way to select a cartridge based on the intended cosmetic treatment protocol.

H12-0.25mm Cartridge

The H12-0.25mm cartridge features 12 pins with a 0.25mm needle specification.

It can be selected for cosmetic skincare protocols where a relatively shallow needle configuration is appropriate.

Common professional applications may include:

• Cosmetic serum application
• Surface-level skincare routines
• Facial skincare treatments
• Product absorption-focused protocols
• Gentle skin-conditioning procedures

The 0.25mm option is the shallowest of the three H12 configurations.

H12-0.50mm Cartridge

The H12-0.50mm cartridge features 12 pins with a 0.50mm needle specification.

It provides a middle-depth option within the H12 cartridge range and may be selected for professional facial skincare protocols according to the practitioner’s treatment plan.

Suitable applications may include:

• Professional facial treatments
• Skin texture-focused protocols
• Cosmetic rejuvenation routines
• Targeted skincare applications
• Serum-assisted cosmetic treatments

The 0.50mm option provides a different treatment configuration from the shallower 0.25mm cartridge.

H12-1.00mm Cartridge

The H12-1.00mm cartridge features 12 pins with a 1.00mm needle specification.

It is the deepest option within this H12 cartridge range and should only be selected by appropriately trained professionals when the treatment protocol and local requirements allow its use.

Potential professional applications include:

• Advanced cosmetic microneedling protocols
• Targeted facial treatment areas
• Professional skin-texture routines
• Cosmetic skin rejuvenation programs

Needle depth should always be selected according to professional training, skin condition, treatment area, device instructions, and applicable regulations.

Nano-HS & Nano-HR Cartridges

For users looking for a nano-style cartridge rather than a conventional H12 needle configuration, the Hydra Pen H2 cartridge range includes Nano-HS and Nano-HR.

These cartridges are intended for superficial cosmetic skincare applications and should not be treated as equivalent to the 0.25mm, 0.50mm, or 1.00mm H12 cartridges.

Nano-HS

Nano-HS is a nano-style replacement cartridge designed for cosmetic skincare applications where a superficial treatment approach is preferred.

It can be considered for:

• Cosmetic serum application
• Facial skincare routines
• Surface-level product application
• Gentle cosmetic skin conditioning

Nano-HR

Nano-HR provides an alternative nano-style cartridge configuration for compatible Hydra Pen H2 devices.

It can be used for:

• Cosmetic skincare routines
• Superficial product application
• Serum-focused facial treatments
• Professional skincare protocols

Nano cartridges should not be described as conventional microneedling cartridges or assumed to provide the same treatment characteristics as H12 needle cartridges.

Hydra Pen H2 Cartridge Comparison

Important: Needle depth and cartridge type are different from device speed. Select the cartridge according to the intended treatment protocol rather than assuming that a larger number automatically means a better result.

Why Choose Replacement Cartridges for Hydra Pen H2?

A professional microneedling workflow often requires different cartridge configurations for different treatment protocols.

Instead of using the same cartridge for every application, practitioners can keep multiple options available and select the appropriate cartridge before each session.

Flexible Treatment Selection

With five cartridge options, professionals can choose between three H12 depths and two nano-style configurations.

Convenient Replacement

The cartridge is designed as a replaceable component, allowing the pen to remain in service while the treatment head is replaced as required.

Easy Cartridge Identification

The five configurations are clearly differentiated by their specifications:

0.25mm / 0.50mm / 1.00mm / Nano-HS / Nano-HR

Professional Workflow

Keeping multiple cartridge options available can simplify treatment preparation for salons, spas, estheticians, and professional skincare environments.

Compatible H2 Accessory

The product is specifically positioned as a Hydra Pen H2 replacement cartridge, rather than a universal microneedling cartridge.

Integrated Cartridge Design

The Hydra Pen H2 system is designed around a cartridge format that can accommodate skincare solution during operation. H2 product documentation describes a liquid container and automatic application system as part of the device design.

This cartridge format can be useful for practitioners who incorporate topical skincare solutions into their cosmetic treatment workflow.

Use only skincare products that are appropriate for the intended topical cosmetic application and compatible with the device manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not use injectable products or substances that are not specifically intended for this type of cosmetic application.

How to Select the Right Hydra Pen H2 Cartridge

Selecting a cartridge should start with the intended treatment protocol rather than simply choosing the deepest available option.

Choose H12-0.25mm if:

You need the shallowest H12 configuration for a cosmetic skincare protocol.

Choose H12-0.50mm if:

You want an intermediate-depth H12 configuration for professional cosmetic microneedling applications.

Choose H12-1.00mm if:

Your professional protocol specifically calls for a 1.00mm configuration and you are appropriately trained to use that depth.

Choose Nano-HS if:

Your protocol calls for a nano-style cartridge for superficial cosmetic skincare.

Choose Nano-HR if:

You prefer the Nano-HR configuration for a superficial cosmetic application.

Professional Applications

Depending on the selected cartridge and professional protocol, compatible Hydra Pen H2 cartridges may be used as part of cosmetic skincare routines involving:

• Facial microneedling
• Cosmetic skin rejuvenation
• Skin texture-focused treatments
• Serum application
• Cosmetic product infusion
• Superficial nano skincare
• Professional facial treatments
• Skin-conditioning routines

Treatment suitability depends on cartridge type, device settings, treatment area, individual skin condition, practitioner training, and applicable local requirements.

Recommended Professional Workflow

1. Confirm Your Device

Verify that your pen is a compatible Hydra Pen H2 model.

2. Select the Cartridge

Choose:

H12-0.25mm / H12-0.50mm / H12-1.00mm / Nano-HS / Nano-HR

based on the intended treatment protocol.

3. Inspect the Cartridge

Before installation, inspect the cartridge for visible damage, deformation, contamination, or other abnormalities.

Do not use a damaged cartridge.

4. Install the Cartridge

Attach the cartridge to the Hydra Pen H2 according to the device instructions.

Do not force the cartridge into position.

5. Prepare the Skin

Cleanse and prepare the treatment area according to your professional hygiene protocol.

6. Perform the Treatment

Operate the Hydra Pen H2 according to the manufacturer’s instructions and your professional training.

7. Replace After Use

For cartridges designated for single use, dispose of the cartridge after the treatment session.

Do not reuse a used cartridge between clients.

Hygiene & Safety

Microneedling treatments can involve disruption of the skin barrier. Appropriate hygiene and cartridge handling are therefore essential.

For professional use:

• Use a new cartridge according to your treatment and hygiene protocol.
• Do not reuse cartridges intended for single use.
• Never use a damaged cartridge.
• Inspect the cartridge before installation.
• Follow the device manufacturer’s operating instructions.
• Maintain appropriate treatment-area hygiene.
• Dispose of used cartridges appropriately.
• Keep unused cartridges protected from contamination.
• Do not use on open wounds or visibly compromised skin.
• Stop use if unexpected irritation or adverse reactions occur.
• Use deeper needle configurations only when appropriate for your professional training and applicable regulations.
