Choosing Between MicroNeedling and NanoNeedling

Safe, Professional Skin Needling Techniques

Providing safe, effective cosmetic skin needling is a top priority for professionals offering aesthetic services. Whether a client is seeking a more refined appearance or a visible boost in radiance, both microneedling and nanoneedling offer unique advantages based on the desired outcome.

Each technique serves a different purpose and can be tailored to your client’s cosmetic goals.

Always ensure procedures are within your state board’s scope of practice and performed using single-use, professional-grade devices.

Micro Needling

  • Adjustable penetration for personalized cosmetic applications
  • Uses 33-gauge stainless steel needles in sterile, single-use cartridges
  • May involve mild skin sensitivity; some professionals choose to apply a numbing cream for client comfort
  • Mild redness may occur post-procedure, typically fading within 12–48 hours
  • Often offered in a series of appointments spaced 4–6 weeks apart to support best cosmetic outcomes

Nano Needling

  • Uses nano-textured silicon tips approximately 1/3 the thickness of a human hair
  • Designed for cosmetic use in the uppermost layers of the skin 
  • Creates temporary nano-channels to support better introduction of cosmetic serums

Microneedling and Nanoneedling for Skin Rejuvenation

Which Skin Rejuvenation Technique Fits Your Client’s Goals?

MicroNeedling and NanoNeedling are both valuable tools in professional skincare and can be selected based on your client’s individual needs and desired outcomes.

Both techniques may help:

  • Visibly soften the appearance of fine lines
  • Enhance skin tone and texture
  • Refine the look of pores
  • Support a more radiant and even-looking complexion

MicroNeedling:

Recommended for clients looking to improve the appearance of deeper skin texture concerns or those seeking more intensive surface refinement. It offers adjustable penetration for precise cosmetic stimulation.

NanoNeedling:

A gentler, no-downtime option ideal for boosting product absorption and giving the skin a refreshed, hydrated glow. Perfect as a regular maintenance treatment or post-procedure enhancement.
