Nanoporous cosmetic needling involves the use of a specialized device, which contains multiple microneedles. These needles, which are typically between 0.2 and 2 millimeters in length, create controlled punctures in the skin. The procedure is typically performed on the face, but can also be performed on other areas of the body.
Nanoporous cosmetic needling, also known as microneedling or dermarolling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves creating tiny punctures in the skin using a device with microscopic needles. These punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and can be used to treat a variety of skin problems. It can be used to treat blemishes, scars, flaccidity, alopecia, expression lines, and photoaging.
- Collagen stimulation: Micro-injuries activate the skin’s natural collagen production, which improves skin texture and firmness.
- Skin rejuvenation: Can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
- Improved absorption of products: Microchannels improve the absorption and efficacy of topical skin care products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin.
- Reduced hyperpigmentation: May help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
- Dermaroller: Cylindrical roller with microneedles attached to it. The roller is manually rolled over the skin, creating punctures as it moves.
- Dermapen: Set of microneedles that oscillate rapidly up and down. The needles penetrate the skin at a controlled depth, adjustable according to the specific skin problem.

The procedure may cause some discomfort, but an anesthetic cream is often applied to the skin prior to treatment to minimize any possible pain.
Results may vary, but some improvement in the texture and appearance of the skin is usually noticed within a few weeks. For optimal results, several treatment sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, are usually recommended.
The most common side effects are redness, mild swelling and temporary skin sensitivity. They usually disappear within a few days. It is essential to follow proper aftercare instructions to minimize the risk of infection or other complications.
Nanopore cosmetic needling is suitable for people who want to improve the texture and appearance of the skin, treat specific problems such as wrinkles or scars, and improve the absorption of skin care products. However, it may not be recommended for people with certain skin conditions or who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and an anesthetic cream may be applied. The selected device is then passed over the skin in a controlled manner, creating microscopic punctures. After the procedure a soothing serum or moisturizer is usually applied to promote healing.
