The Benefits of Nano-Needling

Nano-needling is a gentle, minimally invasive skin treatment that uses ultra-fine, shallow-depth needles to treat areas where traditional microneedling may not be suitable, such as the delicate eye contour. Unlike deeper microneedling procedures, nano-needling focuses on the surface layer of the skin, making it ideal for areas that require a softer touch. 

The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes, with no redness or downtime. All needles are single-use, and the skin is thoroughly cleansed before treatment, ensuring a hygienic and safe experience. 

How nano-needling works

Nano-needling softly stimulates the skin’s surface to support natural cellular processes. By gently working on the top layer of the skin, it can help to: 

• Target delicate areas around the eyes 
• Improve skin texture and smoothness 
• Support the appearance of hydration in the skin 
• Enhance overall radiance and glow
  

While nano-needling does not involve downtime, patients have the option to recover under an LED Light Therapy device, which can complement the treatment by supporting the skin’s natural processes. 

Who can benefit

Nano-needling is suitable for almost all skin types and is non-ablative. It is not recommended for anyone with untreated skin cancer in the treatment area or for patients taking high-dose corticosteroids. Your skin therapist may provide additional guidance for preexisting skin conditions. 

Key features of nano-needling

• Delicate Targeting: Ideal for sensitive areas like under the eyes 
• Minimally Invasive: Gentle, with no need for numbing cream 
• Quick Treatment: Sessions take approximately 30 minutes 
• Supports Skin Appearance: Helps improve hydration, texture, and overall radiance 

Nano-needling is a versatile option for clients seeking gentle skin treatment in hard-to-treat areas. For more information or to discuss whether nano-needling is suitable for your skin, speak with one of our skin therapists. 

The importance of professional guidance

Not every treatment is suitable for every skin type or concern. What works well for one person may not be appropriate for another.

A qualified clinician can assess your skin, discuss your goals and provide advice on which treatments or skincare products may be suitable for your individual needs.
