How to Perform a Nano Infusion Pen Resurfacing Treatment at Home

Discover the power of professional skin renewal with the Art of Skin Care Nano Infusion Pen—a non-invasive device that uses ultra-fine, microscopic tips to gently infuse the skin’s surface. Unlike traditional microneedling, the Nano Pen does not puncture the skin; instead, it creates tiny pathways that stimulate natural cell turnover and allow active ingredients to penetrate more effectively. The result is smoother texture, refined pores, and a luminous, healthy glow—all with zero downtime.

By resurfacing and retexturizing the skin every 4–5 weeks, this treatment helps soften fine lines, even tone, and keep your complexion looking youthful and refreshed.

Now that you know the benefits of the Nano Infusion Pen, let’s walk through how to perform this treatment at home. With the right technique and supportive products, you can safely achieve professional-level results in your own skincare routine.

Step One Prepare the Skin


Start with a thorough double cleanse to ensure your skin is perfectly prepped for treatment. Begin with Hydrinity Prelude Facial Treatment Cleanser to melt away sunscreen, makeup, and impurities. Follow with a second cleanse using the same gentle formula to deeply purify and hydrate the skin without stripping its natural barrier. 

For an added boost, take a few minutes to use your LED device—this helps optimize ATP production, energizing your skin cells and supporting faster healing and renewal.

Step Two: Nano Infusion Treatment


1. Attach Cartridge – Secure the single-use nano-cartridge to your device.

2. Prep the Skin – Apply a thin layer of Epicutis Lipid Serum to keep the skin comfortably moist and ready for treatment.

3. Power On – Press and hold the power button to turn it on. Press again to adjust the speed (RPM).

4. Select Intensity

  • Level 2 (Green): Best for delicate or sensitive areas.

  • Level 3 (Red): Ideal for most areas of the face, avoiding very thin or highly sensitive skin.

5. Treatment Technique – Glide the pen gently over the skin, working section by section. Reapply serum as needed to maintain slip and hydration. Avoid the eyelids, and remember: no pressure is necessary—the nano-tips do the work for you.

6. Adjust as Needed – Fine-tune intensity for your comfort and your skin’s sensitivity level.

Step Three: Post-Needling Serum


After completing your nano infusion, apply a healing serum to calm and support the skin. Gently pat on Plated Skin Science Intense Serum or NeoGenesis Recovery Serum, allowing it to fully absorb before applying anything else.

Important: Do not needle stem cell or exosome serums into the skin. These advanced formulas are designed with delicate delivery systems that can be disrupted by needling. Always apply them after your treatment to preserve their full potency and effectiveness.

Step Four: Mask Therapy


For enhanced recovery and glow, follow your nano infusion with the CO₂ Lift Pro Carboxy Treatment Mask.

  1. Apply a generous, even layer over the entire face.

  2. Allow the mask to set for 45–60 minutes while it infuses the skin with oxygenating benefits that promote healing, hydration, and brightness.

  3. Gently peel away the mask, then remove any remaining residue with a soft, damp cloth.

Pro Tip: When used after nano needling or laser treatments, the CO₂ Lift Pro significantly boosts collagen production—helping to firm, smooth, and restore the skin at a deeper level.

Step Five: Aftercare


Your skin will be in a highly receptive state following your nano infusion, so proper aftercare is essential for healing and results.

  • Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 30 minutes after treatment to allow serums to fully absorb.

  • Temperature: Skip workouts, saunas, hot yoga, and other activities that raise your core body temperature for 24 hours to prevent irritation.

  • Exfoliation: Hold off on using exfoliants, scrubs, or resurfacing acids for at least 3 days.

  • Sun Exposure: Protect your results by avoiding prolonged sun exposure for 3 days. Always apply a mineral-based sunscreen daily to safeguard the skin and support healing.

Pro Tip: Think of the next few days as “recovery time”—focus on hydration, barrier support, and gentle care to maximize your glow.

Troubleshooting: Red Track Marks


If you notice red track marks after your treatment, here are the most common causes and solutions:

  • Too Much Pressure: Track marks are often caused by pressing too firmly, especially when using Level 3. Use only feather-light pressure—the nano tips do the work for you.

  • Scratchy Sensation: If the pen feels scratchy or leaves red marks without applying pressure, your nano cartridge may be defective. Reach out to us right away so we can help troubleshoot or replace it.

  • Expected Healing: These marks typically fade within a few days and may be followed by increased exfoliation, dryness, or flakiness.

  • Aftercare Reminder: Avoid retinoids and acids during this period, and keep the area well moisturized to support healing.

  • Treatment Frequency: Limit Level 3 resurfacing to once every 4–5 weeks to prevent overstimulation.

Contraindications


For your safety and best results, avoid using the Nano Infusion Pen on the following areas or conditions:

  • Broken, irritated, or inflamed skin – including open wounds, active acne lesions, or infections.

  • Areas with impaired barrier function – such as eczema, psoriasis, or severe dryness.

  • Recently treated skin – avoid if you’ve had recent professional or medical treatments (chemical peels, microneedling, laser, etc.).

  • Post hair removal – do not treat areas that have recently undergone waxing, threading, or depilatory use.

  • Retinoid use – discontinue prescription or over-the-counter retinoids before treatment, as they can increase sensitivity.

When in doubt, wait until your skin is fully healed and stable before performing a nano infusion treatment.
