Nano Needling Facial at Home

Quick answer

An at-home nano needling facial is a short serum routine with a nano needling pen and a fresh single-use silicon Nano Chip. It boosts serum absorption, is painless for most people and needs no downtime.

Steps

  1. Cleanse and dry your face.
  2. Apply serum. Water-based, fragrance-free formulas work well.
  3. Click in a fresh Nano Chip. Start with 0.15 mm or 0.20 mm.
  4. Glide the pen in short passes with light pressure, on the lowest speed.
  5. Finish with moisturizer. Use sunscreen during the day.
  6. Throw the chip away. Never reuse it.

How often

  • 0.15 mm: up to daily

  • 0.25 mm: 2-3x a week
