NANO WHAT? WHAT IS NANOINFUSION?

JANETTE ELDER, LMT LE

The easiest way to explain what NanoInfusion is, is to tell you what it’s not. It is similar to micro-needling but without any of the pain or downtime that comes with micro-needling.

Both treatments utilize a handheld device that oscillates up and down rapidly and penetrates the skin. Micro-needling, as the name implies, uses a tip that has a grouping (11, 16 or 36) micro-fine needles to penetrate into the epidermal/dermal junction. Microneedling penetrates anywhere from .25mm – 2.5mm(depending on location, impairment, and practitioner), creating controlled injury and stimulating collagen production.

On the other hand, NanoInfusion uses a tip made from a mono-crystalline silicon that is a nano pyramid shape. The tip diameter is 1/10,000 of a human hair, hence the name “nano”. NanoInfusion penetrates the epidermis only at a depth of .25mm. Because of the shape of the tip and the shallower depth, there is no bleeding, no swelling and no downtime. The most you may experience is the feeling of a mild sunburn for 24-hours post procedure.

During the treatment, these pyramids create nanochannels in the epidermis allowing for greater product penetration. Highly efficacious and customized serums are “infused” into the skin through the created channels and the oscillations of the device. NanoInfusion can improve;

Uneven Texture

Uneven Tone

Acne

Discoloration

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Large Pores

Skin Laxity

Hydration

Downtime is no more than 24-hours with a sensation of a slight sunburn. There are no activity or daily regimen disruptions with NanoInfusion.
