Lately, I’ve been exploring cool, new innovations from indie Korean skincare and derma-tech brand, BIOTOC.
Among the brand’s new offerings is a wildly futuristic micro-needling device that I couldn’t wait to play with the second I opened the package from Seoul.
That’s a different reaction for me because I haven’t been a big fan of micro-needling and especially those insane, cheap derma-rollers you can get on Amazon for about $10. In fact, that was my only experience with micro-needling until the BIOTOC technology.
The BIOTOC Medi Nanopen Pro is one of the coolest skincare devices I’ve come across. And unlike a derma-roller, it doesn’t hurt one bit. It’s not the least bit uncomfortable, as I’d initially expected it to be.
What is microneedling?
There is an insightful active in Elle magazine titled, Everything You've Ever Wanted To Know About Microneedling. From the piece:
Microneedling creates microscopic punctures in the skin.
Simply put, microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for rejuvenation, explains Macrene. The most popular (and cost-effective) microneedling device, known as a dermaroller, comprises micro-fine needles that range in diameter from 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters. But, if the prospect of multiple needle wounds sounds slightly ominous to you, know that the punctures are more like pin-pricks that enter only surface-level deep.
Microneedling offers fairly immediate results.
"From microneedling alone, you will look plump, pink, and luminous for a couple of weeks. On a short-term basis, it plumps the skin and makes the skin look more radiant from inflammation and very superficial swelling," Alexiades says.
But microneedling also promises improvement over time.
According to a 2008 study, skin treated with four microneedling sessions spaced one month apart, produced up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin six months after completing treatment.
The $399 BIOTOC 3X Starter Package comes with the BIOTOC Medi Nanopen Pro, two antioxidant-powered 3x Cross-Link Ampoule serums, five Medi NANO Chips and a tube of probiotic-powered Expert Lifting Cream.

One of the best antioxidant serums, the 3x Cross-Link Ampoule serum is a freshly activated, dual-phase serum and antioxidant powerhouse infused with pure Vitamin C and Astaxanthin, two of the most potent antioxidants for the skin and the body overall.
Fresh activation is everything when it comes to skin care — and especially sensitive antioxidants. And, the 3x Cross-Link Ampoule serum is the perfect treatment to use with a micro-needling device like the Nanopen.
In the immediate term, my skin is red and sensitive to the touch. These effects diminish over several hours. By morning, my skin always appears plump with a fresh, healthy and rosy glow.
I’m just getting into a regular weekly rhythm with the BIOTOC Nanopen and plan to continue reporting on what I experience with it over time.
Just how cool and futuristic is it? Well, I imagine Uhura using her Nanopen on the Starship Enterprise while she’s chillin in her cabin on selfcare Sunday. Hah!
