Nanoneedling
Nanoneedling is a needle-free cosmetic treatment that uses a handheld stylus with hair-like silicone tips to gently work along the surface of the skin without puncturing it. The treatment provides light exfoliation while helping topical products absorb more effectively and can leave the skin looking smoother, brighter and more hydrated.
Because the treatment is superficial, it can be performed as often as once a week.
What Can Nanoneedling Help With?
Nanoneedling may be used to help improve the appearance of:
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Dullness
- Uneven skin texture
- Uneven pigmentation
- Fine lines
- Early signs of skin aging
It can also be a good option for maintaining and refreshing the skin between more intensive treatments.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your skin is first cleansed and prepared. Nanoneedling is then performed with hyaluronic acid as the silicone tips move gently across the treatment area.
Afterward, a serum is applied followed by a facial mask. BioMat Therapy is part of the treatment while you are on the table, and LED light therapy can be added if desired.
Nanoneedling requires little to no recovery time, making it an easy treatment to incorporate more regularly into a skin-care routine.
Nanoneedling vs. Microneedling
The main difference is how deeply the treatments work.
Microneedling uses very fine, sterile needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin and stimulate collagen production. Because the skin needs time to recover, treatments are spaced at least four weeks apart.
Nanoneedling uses silicone tips and does not puncture the skin. It works more superficially and can be performed as often as weekly.
For concerns such as deeper acne scarring, more pronounced texture changes or collagen stimulation, microneedling may be the more appropriate option. Nanoneedling is better suited to those looking for a lighter treatment focused on hydration, surface texture and maintaining a refreshed appearance.
