The primary distinction between nano-infusion and microneedling is that nano-infusion penetrates just the upmost layer of the skin. Then again, microneedling infiltrates further, penetrating the dermal layer. This goes with microneedling a superior decision for deeper skin concerns, for example, scarring and facial lines. Moreover, since microneedling infiltrates further into the skin, numbing cream is applied to the skin before treatment to for comfort. Nano-infusion is delicate to not need numbing cream.

Instead of using needles, like microneedling, nano infusion facial therapy uses a nano infusion pen with 36 pyramid pins on a 16 mm nanochip. The pins are microscopic – they are thinner than a single strand of human hair. The esthetician uses this pen to press the pyramid pins on the skin gently. The pins are covered with a topical product. The process creates thousands of micro pathways per minute in the top layer of the skin.

The therapy does not hurt. Nano infusion facial treatment is non-invasive. It does not wound the skin, which is the entire point of microneedling. It does not need numbing cream and has no downtime. People who received this treatment even go as far as considering the treatment relaxing. The process only affects the epidermis, the top-most layer of the skin.
