Solenoid microneedling, made for home.
The Ottilo System pairs a magnet-driven pen with a quiet desktop controller. The pen only runs while it touches the skin, you set the depth by hand, and every order ships from the US.

The Ottilo range
Why solenoid
Most home pens spin a small motor and use a cam to turn that rotation into up-and-down movement. The Ottilo pen uses a coil and a magnetic plunger instead. Each stroke is a straight, even tap, and the pen stays light because the electronics live in the controller.
Fixed 2.5 mm stroke. Depth set from 0.25 to 2.5 mm.
The controller
One dial does almost everything. Turn it up from zero and the system is ready; turn it back and it clicks off. The colour screen shows the speed level, the depth you have set, the cartridge type and a session timer.
8 speed levels. Timer presets of 5, 10 and 15 minutes.

Questions
Can I buy Ottilo now?
Not yet. Ottilo is in development, and this site shows the product as it is planned. Prices and specifications may change before launch.
Why does it have a separate controller?
Keeping the electronics in a desktop unit keeps the pen slim and light, and leaves room for a proper dial and a colour screen.
Which cartridges does it use?
Sealed, single-use cartridges made for the Ottilo pen, sold in packs of 10. The system comes with 5.
Where will it ship from?
From stock in the United States, with free shipping. There is nothing extra to pay when the parcel arrives.
