At Art of Skin Care, we believe in going beyond surface-level fixes. With the AOS Nano Infusion Pen, we work at the cellular level to stimulate collagen production, repair damage, and restore your skin’s youthful glow.

In this article, we’ll explore:

• How nano-needling works

• Why it’s an essential part of regenerative skincare

• How treatments with the AOS Nano Pen can help address acne scars, pigmentation, fine lines, and overall skin aging—delivering visible, long-term results.

Nano-needling is a gentle yet highly effective skin rejuvenation technique. Using a pen-like device equipped with ultra-fine, hair-thin nano tips, the treatment creates thousands of microscopic channels on the skin’s surface. These tiny pathways allow active ingredients in serums—such as hyaluronic acid, growth factors, and peptides—to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.

The key difference between nano-needling and traditional micro-needling is the depth of the needles. Nano tips reach only about 0.25 mm into the epidermis—just enough to stimulate collagen and elastin production without causing inflammation or damage.

This means:

• Virtually painless treatment

• No numbing cream required

• Minimal to no downtime

As the Nano Pen glides across your skin, it triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin—the essential proteins that keep skin firm, elastic, and youthful. With consistent treatments, nano-needling can:

• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles

• Improve skin tone and texture

• Reduce the look of acne scars and pigmentation

• Minimize the appearance of enlarged pores

Unlike more invasive procedures, nano-needling doesn’t cause actual injury. Instead, it gently signals the skin to regenerate itself, rebuilding its foundation from the inside out. The result is firmer, lifted skin and a radiant, youthful glow—all without harsh procedures or injectables.

Nano-needling is part of a treatment approach often referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy—a process that encourages your skin to naturally rebuild itself from within.

Collagen acts like the scaffolding of your skin, giving it structure, firmness, and resilience. But as we age, collagen production slows. This gradual decline leads to thinning skin, a loss of elasticity, and the visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Collagen Induction Therapy—including nano-needling—helps reverse this process by creating thousands of controlled micro-channels at the skin’s surface. These tiny pathways:

• Stimulate your skin to produce fresh collagen and elastin

• Enhance the absorption of serums and active ingredients

• Support smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin over time

By jumpstarting your skin’s own natural repair response, nano-needling goes beyond surface-level treatments, working deep to restore strength and vitality where your skin needs it most.

Unlike more invasive treatments, nano needling doesn’t cause actual injury but gently signals your skin to regenerate itself. This process rebuilds the skin’s foundation from the inside out, resulting in firmer, lifted skin and a more youthful appearance. Importantly, this regenerative effect is long-lasting, helping you age gracefully without relying on harsh procedures or injectables.

By incorporating nano needling into your skincare routine, you can effectively treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne scars, rosacea, stretch marks, and sun damage. The procedure also improves hydration and enhances the skin’s ability to absorb nourishing serums, boosting overall skin rejuvenation.

A successful treatment begins with thoroughly cleansed skin. The process starts with an exfoliating enzyme cleanse:

1. Start with the oil – Apply the Epicutis Cleansing Oil to dry skin and massage thoroughly to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities.

2. Add the Enzyme Powder – Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the Epicutis Enzyme Powder into the palm of your hand.

3. Activate the powder – Wet your other hand, then rub your palms together briskly to create a light, slippery cream.

4. Massage it in – Apply the cream to your face and massage gently. Rewet your hands as needed to keep the cream active, and continue massaging for a full 2 minutes to allow the enzymes to work their magic.

5. Rinse well – Finish by rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.

We keep the skin hydrated and supple with Epicutis Lipid Serum throughout the treatment, ensuring a smooth, comfortable glide. As the nano-needles create thousands of micro-channels on the skin’s surface, they enhance serum absorption while stimulating the skin’s natural repair and renewal process.

Using the Nano Pen is simple, comfortable, and designed to enhance product absorption while stimulating skin rejuvenation.

Select Your Level:

• Level 2 (Green): Use on delicate or sensitive areas such as under the eyes or around the lips.

• Level 3 (Red): Use on the rest of the face for optimal results.

Apply a generous layer of Epicutis Lipid Serum (or your chosen serum) to keep the skin hydrated and slippery.

• Glide the Nano Pen over the skin using light circular strokes.

• Maintain very light pressure—let the device do the work.

• Pass over each area 2–3 times, just enough to create a gentle pinking of the skin.

This process ensures thousands of micro-channels are created for deeper serum absorption while encouraging the skin’s natural repair response—all without discomfort or downtime.

Immediately after nano-needling, we apply a powerful healing serum to maximize results and support the skin’s recovery. Our favorite is ( plated )™ Skin Science Intense Serum, a revolutionary formula powered by platelet-derived exosomes.

Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles that act as advanced messengers in the skin. They deliver targeted peptides, antioxidants, proteins, and enzymes deep into the dermis, making them essential for post-treatment repair and rejuvenation.

• Boost collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin

• Reduce redness and inflammation to calm and comfort the skin

• Improve skin tone and texture for a smoother, more radiant appearance

• Accelerate cellular repair for faster recovery and longer-lasting results

By pairing nano-needling with a serum as advanced as ( plated )™ Intense, we can dramatically enhance both short-term glow and long-term skin health.

To lock in all the benefits of nano-needling and exosome therapy, we apply the award-winning CO2Lift Pro Carboxy Gel Mask.

This professional-grade mask works like a topical hyperbaric oxygen chamber, flooding the skin with oxygen and vital nutrients. Not only does it enhance healing and reduce inflammation, it also dramatically boosts collagen production, amplifying the regeneration process we’ve already initiated with nano-needling.

Benefits include:

• Accelerated healing and recovery

• Dramatic collagen stimulation for firmer, more resilient skin

• Significant reduction in redness and inflammation

• A soothing, cooling effect that leaves skin calm and refreshed

• Enhanced absorption of serums applied during treatment

The CO2Lift Pro Mask doesn’t just seal in the actives—it elevates the entire treatment, leaving skin noticeably plumper, smoother, and more radiant after just one session.

After 45-60 minutes, the mask is gently peeled off, revealing a visibly brighter, softer, and more hydrated complexion.

No. Nano-needling is a gentler treatment that works at the epidermal level (the skin’s outer layer), while micro-needling penetrates deeper into the dermis. Because nano-needling is less invasive, it can be performed more frequently and is safe for sensitive skin types.

For best results, we recommend an initial Regenerative Series:

• First Week: 3 treatments with the Carboxy Mask

• Next 4 Weeks: 1 treatment per week

• Ongoing Maintenance: Once or twice monthly, depending on your skin’s needs

This approach jumpstarts collagen production, accelerates repair, and maximizes results, leaving your skin firmer, smoother, and more radiant over time.
