What serums can be used with the Nano Pen?Updated 7 days ago
Any serum other than growth factors can be used when using the AOS Nano Pen on the first setting. Do a spot test to confirm compatibility with your skin. A studio favorite for treating deepening lines is Circadia Myo-Cyte Plus Anti-Wrinkle Serum
For deeper needling, levels two or three, use Epicutis Lipid Serum and/or Le Mieux Iso-Cell Recovery Solution while needling and finish with a growth factor serum.
Do not needle over growth factor serums, as this can damage the innate delivery system.
The best time to apply a growth factor is immediately after micro-needling or nano-needling. This is the best time to apply Plated Skin Science Intense Serum or NeoGenesis Recovery Serum.
CO2Lift® Pro Carboxy Treatment Mask is excellent post-needling. Layer it over your growth factor serum.
How to Use Serums with the AOS Nano Pen
Level 1 – Gentle Nano Setting:
You can use almost any serum, except those containing growth factors, when using the AOS Nano Pen on the first setting. Always perform a spot test first to ensure your skin reacts well to the product.
Pro Tip: A couple of our client and studio favorites for softening deep lines are:
Circadia Myo-Cyte Plus Anti-Wrinkle Serum
Levels 2–3 – Deeper Needling:
When using deeper settings, choose Epicutis Lipid Serum during the treatment. Once you’re done, follow up with a growth factor serum to support skin repair and rejuvenation.
🚫 Do not needle directly over growth factor serums, as this can damage their natural delivery system.
Post-Needling Care:
The ideal time to apply a growth factor serum is immediately after nano- or micro-needling. We recommend:
Optional Soothing Finish:
Top off your treatment with the CO2Lift® Pro Carboxy Treatment Mask layered over your growth factor serum. It helps calm the skin and supports deeper absorption and healing.
