Nanoneedling is a gentle, non-invasive skin treatment that uses extremely fine, shallow needles to create tiny micro-channels in the outermost layer of the skin. These micro-channels allow professional-grade serums to penetrate more deeply—up to 90–97% better than with topical application alone—helping the skin absorb active ingredients more effectively. The treatment works by stimulating the skin’s natural repair process while infusing it with hydration and nourishment, resulting in a smoother, brighter, and more refreshed appearance.

Unlike microneedling, which penetrates deeper into the dermis to address more advanced concerns such as acne scars, deep wrinkles, and stretch marks, nanoneedling focuses only on the surface level of the skin. This makes it ideal for improving texture, softening fine lines, evening out skin tone, and enhancing overall radiance. The procedure is comfortable, requires little to no downtime, and most clients experience only mild redness that fades within a few hours. Because of its gentle nature, nanoneedling is often considered a perfect “maintenance” or “glow” treatment, leaving the skin looking plump, hydrated, and rejuvenated without interrupting daily activities. This treatment is perfect to add-on to your next Hydrafacial.

Most providers do not recommend nanoneedling if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Even though it’s gentler than microneedling, the procedure still involves stimulating the skin with tiny needles and using active serums. Many of those serums (like retinols, growth factors, or certain peptides) are not considered safe during pregnancy or nursing. On top of that, there just isn’t enough clinical research confirming nanoneedling’s safety for expectant or breastfeeding mothers. If you are pregnant or breast feeding and are interested in getting this treatment please talk with your doctor and provide us with documentation that approves you for this treatment.

Redness: The skin may look slightly pink or flushed right after treatment, similar to a light sunburn. This usually fades within a few hours.

Mild sensitivity: Some people notice their skin feels a little tight, warm, or tingly for a short period after.

Dryness or flakiness: Because the skin is stimulated, it may shed a little over the next day or two as new, fresh skin comes forward.

Nanoneedling is safe for most skin types and tones because it works only on the surface of the skin, minimizing risks like hyperpigmentation or scarring. It’s not recommended for those with active acne, open wounds, certain skin conditions like eczema or rosacea, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. For most clients, it’s a gentle, customizable treatment that can improve texture, hydration, and overall radiance.

Nanoneedling has little to no downtime. Most people leave the treatment with a slight pink or flushed look, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually fades within a few hours. Some may notice mild tightness or light flaking over the next day or two, but it’s very minimal compared to deeper treatments like microneedling. You can typically go back to work or normal activities right after the procedure.

When nanoneedling is added on to our Deluxe or Platinum HydraFacial, it adds about 30 minutes to your service. If you book a nanoneedling facial on its own, the treatment typically takes about one hour without any additional add-ons.
