WHAT EXACTLY IS NANONEEDLING?

Nano-Needling is a procedure that helps to improve pigmentation, increase cell turnover, and provide a glow to the skin. Unlike microneedling, which penetrates more deeply, nano-needling is only able to affect the epidermis of the skin. This treatment is done with a tool that has microscopic hair-like cones that separate the cells in the epidermis to allow products to be infused into the skin effectively.

BEFORE AND AFTER

HOW DOES NANONEEDLING WORK?

Before the treatment begins, your skin will be cleansed and exfoliated. Once the skin is ready for treatment, a pen-like tool with nano- needles is used on the skin to allow the nutrient-rich ingredients into your skin. Then, the correct color pigment will be applied in gentle circular motions to make sure the entire face is covered. Finally, a skinceuticals biocellulose mask and red LED light is applied over the pigment.

Avoid prolonged sun exposure and be sure to wear sunscreen with SPF 30. Saunas, baths, swimming, or exfoliating should be avoided for the first week following treatment. Be sure to avoid any harsh soaps, scrubs, or heavy skin care products on the face for 1 week. 

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR BEST RESULTS?

To maximize the effects of this treatment, it is recommended to start with 3-4 treatments once every 2-4 weeks. After that, the results of your treatment can last you up to 6 months or longer with proper maintenance.
