What Is A Nano Infusion Facial?
If you’re looking for a pain-free way to brighten your complexion and reduce the look of fine lines and tired skin, a nano infusion may just be the solution you’ve been searching for. Nano Infusions, also known as nano needling, is your next best kept secret for beautiful, healthy skin. If you’ve found yourself here, we hope that you learn to love the benefits of nano infusion just as much as we do!
What is nano infusion?
Nano Infusion is the new and innovative way to deliver active ingredients to the deeper levels of your skin without any down time. This pain-free process utilizes multiple pyramid-shaped pins to penetrate the skin and deliver potent nutrients. These pyramids are microscopic – thinner than a single strand of hair – and are gently pressed onto the skin to form thousands of microscopic pathways down to your dermis.
How nano infusion works on your skin
This facial therapy works by enabling the skin to better absorb the necessary skin care products. Rather than applying facial treatments or hyaluronic acid directly to the surface of the epidermis, these channels allow your tailored skincare products to travel down to lower levels of the skin. Although this procedure is not invasive, it is effective and provides lasting results.
In addition to allowing nutrients to better absorb into the skin, nano infusion allows for better circulation to the treated area, as well as improving the collagen production in your skin. Since this process is non-invasive (meaning there’s recovery time or damage to the skin) you’ll see results immediately.
What skin concerns benefit from nano infusion treatments?
If you’re thinking about nano therapy, it is important to first ensure that your desired skin conditions can be corrected by the treatment. Primarily, nano infusion treats scarring, fine lines, skin pigmentation, acne scars, as well as tone and texture. The process can also help reduce the look of aging skin, wrinkles, puffiness in the skin, the appearance of stretch marks, and even aid in stimulating hair growth.
Contraindications for nano infusion
While this treatment is beneficial for all skin types of varying age and color, there are some situations that cause an individual to be exempt from a nano infusion. Largely, those with skin and health conditions such as rosacea, psoriasis, or similar conditions are suggested to avoid this treatment. Additionally, if you find yourself with an active skin outbreak or sunburn, it is best to reschedule your appointment until your skin has had time to clear up.
Comparing nano infusion to microneedling
While the concepts of nano infusion and microneedling are similar, there are a few stark differences between the treatments that set them apart. Knowing these differences can allow you to choose the best possible skincare therapy for you.
How are nano infusion and microneedling different?
On a surface level, both nano infusion and microneedling operate under the same premise. Both treat the same types of skin conditions; however, microneedling penetrates the skin at a deeper level. Instead of making microscopic channels into the skin, microneedling used 12 small needles to penetrate the skin on a deeper level. As a result of this manufactured injury to the layers of your skin, the body sends out a command to begin sending blood and other healing components to the damaged tissue. Unlike nano infusion, microneedling does cause minor injury to the skin and requires healing time.
Aftercare for each treatment
When it comes down to it, both treatments have similar after care instructions. The premise for both being: avoid direct sun exposure and try to include a regular application of SPF if going outside. In addition, it is important to avoid makeup, exfoliants, and scented products for the few days following your appointment.
What to expect from a nano infusion appointment
If you’re interested in treating yourself to a nano infusion appointment, we’ve taken the time to create a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect so that you arrive at your appointment feeling confident and prepared.
Preparing for a nano infusion session
There are certain steps to take prior to your appointment that ensure your skincare session goes perfectly. First and foremost, it is important to try and avoid any activities or treatments that would irritate the skin. Using cleansers that are highly acidic, or products that are geared towards treating acne less than two days prior to your appointment could interfere with the effectiveness of your treatment. If you are unsure, please consult your esthetician for best practices.
The process of nano infusion
Upon your arrival, your technician should walk you through what to expect and answer any remaining questions or concerns you may have. Once you’re ready, your skin will be cleansed and prepped for the infusion appointment. Since this type of skin therapy creates micro-channels within your skin, cleansing prior to starting your session is crucial. Once cleansed, a customized serum based on your skincare needs will be applied to your face before the infusion therapy takes place. Finally, the esthetician will run the nano infusion pen over your face to begin the infusion process.
