Preparing for my Nano Infusions Treatment
Nano-needling/infusion treatments are great for everyone. But those with past histories of skin cancer should consult with their oncologist or dermatologist before booking a nano-needling/infusion treatment.
To learn more about this treatment modality book a complimentary consultation.
This treatment will be denied to the following:
- active cold sores
- herpes simplex or warts in the area to be treated
- open sores, sunburn
- excessively sensitive skin within the application area
- pregnancy.
For patients that have psoriasis or eczema can still be treated with nano-needling/infusion, however, the area that is active will be avoided.
Nano-needling/infusion is limited to .12 to .15 mm in the epidermis
