Nano Needling: The Non-Invasive Treatment Transforming Skin Care

Nano needling is a relatively new term compared to microneedling. While microneedling is well recognized for its transformative results, some clients may find the concept of an invasive procedure intimidating—or may simply be uncomfortable with needles.

For individuals already following a structured skincare routine with a cleanser, moisturizer, serum, and SPF but seeking enhanced results, nano needling offers an advanced yet gentle option.

What is Nano Needling?

Despite its name, nano needling does not involve traditional needles. Instead, it uses a nano cartridge composed of microscopic silicone-tipped cones, approximately one-third the diameter of a human hair. These cones create microchannels in the stratum corneum—the very top layer of the skin.

While invisible to the naked eye, these channels significantly enhance product penetration, allowing for up to 97% greater absorption of active ingredients.

Benefits of Nano Needling 

Nano needling is designed to be pain-free, non-invasive, and with no downtime, making it accessible to a wide range of clients.

• Stimulates collagen production by creating controlled microchannels that activate the skin’s natural repair response

• Optimizes product delivery, enabling active ingredients in serums to address surface-level concerns such as pigmentation, dehydration, and dullness

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines, particularly in smaller, targeted areas

• Improves overall tone and texture, enhancing skin smoothness and radiance

• Minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores for a refined complexion

Who Can Benefit from Nano Needling?

Nano needling is suitable for a beginner getting to know the beauty of the needling world. Someone with an active lifestyle, always ready to get a glow in minutes. A mum with just so little skincare me-time and looking to get treatment with great results for her skin. And even for someone who is familiar with microneedling, and looking to boost results between microneedling sessions.

Nano needling will suit mostly everyone dealing with skin concerns such as enlarged pores, mild fine lines, and skin dehydration.

Getting started with nano needle

Dr. Pen microneedling devices are compatible with nano cartridges, making it easy to integrate nano needling into professional protocols. When paired with targeted serums—such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, or vitamin C formulations—nano needling can be performed safely and effectively on a weekly basis, using a fresh cartridge for each session.

Clients may resume their regular skincare routine immediately after treatment, and makeup application is safe on the same day.
