Frequently Asked Questions

How does nano needling work?

Your skin's natural barrier keeps most topical skincare on the surface. NDP's silicon nano tips open extremely small channels that your skin's natural elasticity closes within about 20 minutes, so your serums and ampoules absorb better than applying them by hand.

Is NDP the same as microneedling?

No. Traditional microneedling uses metal microneedles and is a more intensive procedure. NDP uses silicon Nano Chips for a gentle skincare routine without intentional bleeding or a traditional recovery period.

Does it hurt or require downtime?

NDP is designed to be painless: most users describe it as light and comfortable. Mild warmth or temporary flushing can occur, but there is no traditional microneedling recovery period.

Which NDP pen should I choose?

We recommend the NDP Luxury system: rechargeable, three speed settings and stronger power, with a 2-year warranty, for home and salon use. Luxury Classic (silver) and Luxury Modern (black) perform the same and differ only in look.

NDP also has other styles that run on dry AA/AAA batteries; we recommend the rechargeable Luxury pen.

Can estheticians and salons use NDP?

Yes. Many of our customers are estheticians and facial studios, and NDP fits both home and salon routines. See NDP for Estheticians & Salons.

Which Nano Chip should I use?

Choose your Nano Chip based on how you plan to use NDP:

If you’re new to NDP, start gently and adjust based on how your skin or scalp responds.

How often should I use NDP?

As a general guideline, 0.15mm may be used up to daily if tolerated (daily use is not required); 0.20mm is recommended 3–4 times per week; 0.25mm 2–3 times per week; 0.30mm 1–2 times per week; and 0.50mm no more than once per week. Reduce frequency if irritation occurs and follow the product instructions.

Can I use NDP with the skincare I already own?

Yes. NDP can fit into different parts of your routine:

Choose gentle, compatible formulas. Avoid strong acids or retinoids immediately before or after use.

Are Nano Chips reusable?

No. Nano Chips are single-use. Use one fresh chip for each session.

Do Nano Chips work without the pen?

No. Nano Chips are refill cartridges designed for use with NDP Nano Derma Pen devices.

Do Nano Chips fit other brands’ pens?

No. NDP Nano Chips fit NDP pens only, and NDP pens only take NDP Nano Chips.
