Nano Infusion Treatments

Nano infusion is one of the newest advancements in esthetics technology, and its use in the treatment room can elevate results without stimulating the wound-healing cascade that is typical of most advanced modalities. This makes it an excellent option for estheticians in states that do not allow microneedling, or for clients who want advanced results without downtime. Microneedling is a very popular service in med spas, however the needles it uses puncture the skin into the dermis to stimulate the production of collagen. While this is a great treatment for pitted scarring and enlarged pores, not every client may require this treatment. This is where nano infusion comes in, bridging the gap between clients and med spas. Nano infusion uses microscopic pyramid-shaped structures to create nano-channels in the stratum corneum. This combined with the vibrational movement from the pen allow serums and other products to be more readily absorbed into the skin.

One of the most common uses for nano infusion is penetrating serums towards the end of the facial treatment. This can be wonderful for targeting spot areas like hyperpigmentation, fine lines & wrinkles and non-inflamed acne. Or this can be used to encourage absorption on the entire face of hydrating ingredients, antioxidants, stem cells etc. However, one of the more underutilized ways to use nano infusion is during the exfoliation portion. Using an exfoliating serum or toner will not only provide a more in-depth chemical exfoliation, but the vibrational stamping movement in conjunction with the nano tip texture will also provide a gentle mechanical exfoliation. This may not be suitable for clients with sensitive skin or first time clients as we are increasing the activity of the treatment, but many people are suitable candidates for the serum infusion portion of the facial. With a variety of liquid exfoliant and serums available on the professional market, the possibilities for customizing treatments to suit your clients needs are endless.

Regardless of when or how you use your nano infusion pen there are some things to look for when purchasing one for professional use: variety of tip materials and sizes, customization of speed and depth, backflow protection, exclusivity in tips. All of these features will allow you to safely deliver the most comfortable nano infusion treatment for your clients. Additionally, there are homecare nano infusion pens available on the market for clients to purchase to maintain the treatment results at home. Above all, being properly educated on the types of ingredients to use and avoid as well as the proper technique will give you the best nano infusion treatments in your professional treatment space or in the comfort of your home.
