Pelcas is a home beauty brand with a wide catalog. Nail drills, microneedling pens, face care tools, a jewelry cleaner and airbrush makeup kits all sit under one name, which makes it easy to miss the product that actually fits your goal.
This guide sorts the range into plain groups. It covers where the brand came from, what each family of devices does, how to match a device to your routine, how the microneedling pens compare with Dr. Pen and how to look after whatever you buy.
Everything here is research-based. It comes from the brand’s own product specs and stated policies, and nobody has run hands-on tests for this page. Where a figure is a marketing claim from the brand, the text says so.
Where Pelcas Came From
The brand’s own materials date Pelcas to 2018 and place its beginnings in beauty equipment. As the brand tells it, the early work went into product design, prototypes and sample testing before a full retail range took shape.
The catalog still reflects that order. Nail drills are where the brand began, and the microneedling pens, dermaplaning tools, airbrush kits and ultrasonic cleaner were added around them.
Today Pelcas sells through its own online store and through Amazon, where the seller name is PELCAS Direct US. The brand dates that Amazon presence to 2021, and most of its orders there are fulfilled by Amazon.
In its own materials the brand returns to a few claims: salon-quality results and a one-year warranty on its devices, plus a large customer base and high sales volume. No outside audit backs the customer and sales figures, so treat them as marketing, not verified fact.
What the brand publishes in detail is its return window, its warranty length and its product specs. The sections below go through each one.
The Pelcas Product Families
Pelcas sells in five main families, plus a small hair removal line. Here is each one in a sentence or two.
Nail care
Electric drills and files make up the deepest part of the catalog. One adds a battery and speed readout, one keeps the light and speed range without the screen, and an 8-in-1 cordless kit is designed for removing gel polish and shaping acrylics.
Microneedling pens
A 0.25mm pen has three speeds, and a cordless 9-speed pen adds finer control. Both use single-use cartridges, and replacement packs are sold separately.
Face care
This family includes dermaplaning tools, a 3D roller massager meant for face lifting, a galvanic eye wand and a vacuum for blackheads.
Airbrush makeup
A compact standalone machine and a fuller kit with a compressor are the two ends of this family. Both are pitched at anyone who wants foundation coverage without a drawer of brushes and sponges.
Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner
This is the odd one out. It is not meant for personal care at all, and it cleans jewelry, dentures, retainers and even CDs.
Hair removal
The small hair removal line includes a 6-in-1 electric bikini trimmer built for body use rather than facial use.
Newcomers to at-home devices will find nail care the simplest family to start with. Microneedling asks for the most homework before you buy, and the face care tools, airbrush kits and cleaner are each built around a narrower, one-off need rather than an ongoing routine.
Nail Care: Drills and Files
What the brand’s three cordless nail drills have in common is the hardware idea: a rechargeable battery, bits you can swap and sanding bands that come in several grits. When the first set of bands is used up, replacements are sold on their own.
The LCD model is the one to look at if you like information at a glance. Its screen shows the speed level, the remaining battery and the rotation direction. The body is an aluminum housing shaped like a pen, about 6.5 by 1 inches and roughly 270 grams.
A ring of LED lights at the top brightens the work area. Power comes from a 3.7V, 2000mAh battery, which the brand rates for about 5 hours of runtime after a 3-hour USB-C charge. Ten speeds run from gentle shaping to heavier work on thick or acrylic nails.
The box holds ten drill bits and sixty sanding bands. The extras are a cleaning brush, a clear dust shield, a charging cable and a manual. The color choices are white, grey and purple.
We go through the specs, the care rules and the trade-offs in our complete verdict on the Pelcas LCD nail file, including who it suits and who should pick a different model.
The LED drill suits anyone who wants the same speed range and light without a display. The 8-in-1 kit is the pick when gel polish removal or heavier acrylic shaping is the main job, since it ships with a wider set of bits.
Microneedling Pens in Detail
Read the specs for this family closely before you buy. Both pens drive needles up and down at adjustable speeds, and both are cordless and rechargeable with metal housings. This guide covers specs only, and any claims about results come from the brand’s marketing, so weigh them accordingly.
The 0.25mm pen
Needle depth adjusts from 0.25mm to 2.5mm. There are three speeds, topping out at 16,000 RPM with 12,000 and 8,000 below it, and three cartridge tips are included: a 12-pin, a 36-pin and a nano tip. With only three settings, it is the simpler of the two pens to learn on.
The cordless 9-speed pen
This model offers nine speed levels across a 6,000 to 28,000 RPM window and a depth range from 0.1mm to 2.5mm. An LED display shows the speed and depth settings. It is for people who want to fine-tune pressure and pace, or who plan to cover a larger area.
Cartridges and battery
Both pens use single-use, disposable cartridges, and replacement packs are sold separately. Plan on buying packs as a regular purchase. Each cartridge is built for a single use, and running one past that point is not recommended for hygiene reasons.
On power, the brand says the pens run roughly 3 hours per charge, and charging takes around 1.5 hours.
Face Care, Airbrush and the Cleaner
Face care and hair removal
The dermaplaning tools are meant for peach fuzz and fine facial hair. Besides those, the family has a blackhead vacuum, a galvanic eye wand and a 3D roller massager. Availability can vary by item, so check stock before you plan around one.
A 6-in-1 electric bikini trimmer handles body hair. It is a dedicated tool, not a facial one.
Airbrush makeup
Pelcas sells several airbrush setups. The compact Air machine is the simpler pick, and the fuller option is the 32 PSI kit with a compressor, which adds spray pressure and coverage control. The brand pitches both as an alternative to buying brushes and sponges separately.
The ultrasonic cleaner
The CDS-200A Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner has a detachable tank that holds 750ml, and it offers three power modes and five timer cycles. It is meant for jewelry, dentures, retainers and CDs. It cannot fix pieces that are heavily scratched or damaged to begin with.
To browse these categories side by side, see the Pelcas range on Amazon, which opens the brand’s storefront there.
Matching a Device to Your Goal
Start from the job you want done, not from the product name. Here is how the catalog lines up.
Better at-home nail care
Begin with the LCD nail file if you want a screen for battery and speed. If you do not need the readout, the LED drill handles the same core job. For gel polish removal and heavier acrylic work, the 8-in-1 kit has the wider bit set.
Skin care devices
Microneedling is the family to study. The 0.25mm pen is the entry point, with three simple speeds. The cordless 9-speed pen suits anyone who wants finer control. Either way, plan for replacement cartridges.
Hair removal
In the face care line, the brand positions its dermaplaning tools for peach fuzz and fine facial hair. For body hair, the 6-in-1 bikini trimmer is the dedicated tool.
Makeup application
Skip the skin care devices and look at the airbrush line. The compact machine is the simpler pick, and the compressor kit is for more spray pressure and coverage control.
Cleaning small items
The ultrasonic cleaner is a different kind of purchase from the rest of the range. It is not a personal care device, so it belongs on the list only if jewelry or retainers are what you need to clean.
Checks for every device
Before you order, compare what is in the box with the spec sheet, plan for consumables such as cartridges and sanding bands, and confirm the item is in stock.
How Pelcas Compares With Dr. Pen
Dr. Pen is the microneedling brand this guide sets Pelcas beside, so the comparison below sticks to the few points the sources cover.
Both are motorized pens. Pelcas gives the 0.25mm pen three speeds across a 0.25mm to 2.5mm depth range, while the 9-speed pen offers nine speed levels and a 0.1mm to 2.5mm depth range. Dr. Pen’s models span a similarly wide set of depths.
Cartridge handling is where the two differ most in daily use. Dr. Pen’s own site calls for sterilizing a cartridge before every use. Pelcas instead supplies single-use disposable cartridges, so there is no sterilizing step before a session.
Pelcas also puts an LED display for speed and depth on its 9-speed pen, and both Pelcas pens are cordless and rechargeable.
The choice comes down to practical details. Pelcas offers disposable cartridges with no sterilizing step and a display on its 9-speed pen. For anything beyond those specs, such as results, this guide has no independent data on either brand, so weigh the claims accordingly.
Charging, Cleaning and Storage
Care for these devices comes down to the nail drill bits, the microneedling cartridges, the cleaner’s tank, the battery and where everything is stored. The notes below take them in that order.
Nail drill bits and dust
Nail and acrylic dust collects in the grooves of each bit and on the clear shield, which is why the LCD nail file comes with a cleaning brush. Brush the bits after each use and wipe the shield before it clouds. Clogged bits can dull sooner and make the motor work harder.
Sanding bands wear out well ahead of the drill. Fit a new band as soon as the old one has gone smooth.
Microneedling cartridges
Treat every cartridge as single-use, with no exceptions across the microneedling line. Keep unused ones sealed until a session, keep the pen somewhere dry between sessions, and budget for replacement packs as an ongoing cost. Reusing a cartridge is not recommended for hygiene reasons.
The ultrasonic cleaner
Pour out the tank and rinse it after each use instead of leaving solution sitting inside.
Charging and battery
The nail drills and the microneedling pens both charge over USB-C. A full charge takes from 1.5 hours to 3 hours, depending on the device. Their 3.7V lithium cells age faster on days of continuous charging than with ordinary use and recharging, so unplug a device once it is full.
Before a gap of several weeks in use, leave a device partly charged, neither drained nor topped off.
Storage
Keep every device away from humidity, including a bathroom cabinet right beside the shower. Loose bits and cartridges stay tidier in their original packaging or a small case. Hold on to the manual and box until the warranty year ends so the terms are easy to look up.
Buying, Returns and Warranty
Pelcas lists two official channels: its own website and its Amazon storefront, where the seller name is PELCAS Direct US. According to the brand, both carry the 30-day trial period and the one-year warranty. Amazon-fulfilled orders come with Amazon’s return process too, so read the terms shown at checkout.
Checking that a seller is authorized
If you buy from anywhere other than those two channels, make sure the seller is authorized. Three checks help:
- The seller name. On Amazon, the brand’s seller name is PELCAS Direct US. A different name means the listing is not from the brand’s own account, even if the photos look familiar.
- Warranty and returns. The brand’s terms include a one-year warranty, so a listing that says nothing about returns or warranty deserves a question before you pay.
- The contents. Compare the items in the photos with the spec sheet’s list of bits, accessories or cartridges, and ask the seller if something is missing.
Returns
The brand offers a risk-free trial that lasts 30 days. The published conditions are:
- Contents: the original packaging, every included accessory, the manual and the charging cable.
- Condition: undamaged. A device connected to an incompatible voltage, or showing signs of misuse, will not qualify.
- Starting a return: email the brand with your order number. It states that it replies with instructions within one to two business days.
- Shipping: the buyer pays return shipping unless the return is for a quality fault, in which case Pelcas covers the return or exchange shipping.
- Refund: it covers the product value but not shipping already paid. It is typically issued about seven business days after the warehouse receives and inspects the item, and a bank can add up to seven more days.
Warranty and shipping
The warranty is a one-year replacement for quality problems on any Pelcas device. It sits alongside the 30-day trial rather than inside it, and it applies to manufacturing defects that surface after the trial has ended.
Shipping reaches more than 60 countries, and the brand’s shipping terms name two that need extra paperwork: Brazil, which asks for a CPF/CNPJ number, and South Korea, which asks for a Personal Customs Clearance Code. Orders normally leave the warehouse within a day of payment, weekends and holidays aside, and larger US orders ship free. International delivery comes in three speeds: Express at 2 to 5 working days, Standard at 3 to 10 working days (the default) and Economy at 10 to 40 working days.
When you are ready, browse the Pelcas storefront on Amazon, which opens the brand’s page there, and compare what you find against your shortlist.
