Improve your skin with nano-needling important considerations and restrictions.

Nano-needling is a cosmetic procedure that uses a series of tiny needles to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of the skin. Unlike traditional micro-needling, the needles used in nano-needling are extremely small and do not penetrate as deeply into the skin. This makes the treatment gentler and more comfortable, with less recovery time.

However, while nano-needling is generally safe and effective, it is not suitable for everyone and there may be important restrictions or considerations to keep in mind.

First, it is important to keep in mind that nano-needling is primarily designed for skin rejuvenation and improvement of facial appearance. Therefore, if you have skin conditions such as active acne, sunburn, open wounds, skin infections or severe eczema flare-ups, you may not be a suitable candidate for treatment. In these cases, it is important to first treat the underlying condition before considering nano-needling.

In addition, pregnant or nursing women are generally advised to avoid nano-needling, as the effects of treatment in these specific circumstances are not well established and not enough research has been done.

It is also important to consider your general medical history. If you have autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, blood clotting disorders, chronic skin diseases, or are taking certain medications, such as anticoagulants or photosensitive medications, you should inform your doctor before undergoing nano-needling. These conditions or medications may affect the way your skin responds to treatment and may require additional precautions or even contraindicate the procedure in some cases.
