About microneedling and nano needling

Based on the traditional acupuncture technique known as plum blossom needling, which benefits the skin by dispersing Qi and Blood stagnation, invigorating and smoothing the flow of Qi, and clearing excess heat, microneedling and nano needling make use of a technologically advanced microneedling pen which penetrates the skin at up to 15,000 rpm to promote a noticeably improved complexion.


What’s the difference between nano needling and microneedling?

The biggest difference between the two procedures is the depth penetrated by the needling. Nano needling uses a tip with 80 silicon pyramidal pins with a diameter smaller than a strand of hair to puncture the first layer of the skin, while microneedling uses larger and longer (but still tiny, hence “micro”) needles to penetrate into the deep dermis.

Like microneedling, nano needling promotes the skin's absorption of the active ingredients of serums and skin treatments directly into the top layers of the epidermis. This results in increased collagen and elastin production, which combats fine lines, skin laxity, and a dull complexion. Unlike microneedling, nano needling does not require any numbing cream and will painlessly smooth the skin’s texture to leave your skin glowing while triggering cellular turnover. There is no downtime with nano needling and you won’t experience any lingering redness or swelling.

Microneedling is a more intense treatment, recommended for deeper acne scars and lines, hair regrowth, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation, as the deeper micro-injuries associated with microneedling trigger a more drastic repair response. We use a numbing cream to minimize discomfort, but because of the deeper penetration, you can expect some skin redness swelling, and/or flaking for up to a week after treatment as the skin heals.
