Pre- & Post-Procedure Skincare

Radiofrequency Microneedling

RF microneedling combines controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate the skin’s natural repair and remodeling response.

As the skin moves through inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, its needs change. A phase-aligned skincare routine can help support the skin before treatment, throughout recovery, and during the weeks that follow.

Always follow the aftercare instructions provided by your treatment professional.

What is RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Controlled micro-injuries and thermal energy trigger the skin’s natural repair and remodeling processes, helping improve the appearance of skin texture, firmness, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring.

  • Skin laxity 
  • Fine lines and wrinkles 
  • Uneven skin texture 
  • Uneven-looking skin tone 
  • Acne scars 
  • Stretch marks 
  • Overall skin rejuvenation 

Understanding the Skin’s Repair Response

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that initiate a biological repair response. RF microneedling adds controlled thermal energy to this process. The skin progresses through three overlapping phases:

  • Inflammation

    The body’s immediate response to treatment. The focus is on calming and supporting the skin as it responds to controlled injury.

  • Proliferation

    New cells and extracellular matrix components are produced as the skin rebuilds. During this phase, delivery of larger, active ingredients becomes morechallenging.

  • Maturation & Remodeling

    Newly formed tissue continues to organize and remodel, supporting longer-term improvements in the appearance of skin texture and firmness.

Pre- & Post-Procedure Support

Why Phase-Aligned Skincare Matters

Post-procedure skincare should complement the skin's natural recovery process. The timing and selection of topical ingredients matter. 

CNANO's approach is designed around the biology of skin recovery—providing targeted support during different stages of the post-procedure journey. 

PREP → PROCEDURE → RECOVER → RENEW 

Preparing the skin before treatment and providing appropriate support during recovery can help create a more consistent professional skincare experience.

CNANO Procedure Support

  • Before Microneedling

    Prepare and nourish the skin with targeted skincare. Start novoLUX™ nano · peptide · glow two weeks before treatment to prime the skin for renewal and support its natural collagen production.

  • First 24-48 Hours

    Apply novoLUX™ nano · repair after microneedling and at night for the first two days to support recovery, soothe the appearance of inflammation, and support barrier restoration.

  • Days 3-14 | Renew & Rejuvenate

    As skin progresses into proliferation and remodeling, use novoLUX™ nano · peptide · glow daily, with nano · repair at night, to support hydration, repair, and renewal. 

    As the barrier restores, delivery of larger, hydrophilic actives such as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (AH-8) becomes challenging. novoLUX™ uses a nanoemulsion with a lipophilic outer layer encapsulating AH-8, designed to facilitate peptide delivery while maintaining a lightweight, non-greasy feel. 

    Choose clean formulations free from microplastics, silicones, petroleum-derived ingredients, lanolin, and heavy, potentially comedogenic ingredients. 

  • Following 2 Weeks | Continued Rejuvenation

    Once the skin barrier is restored, continue novoLUX™ nano · peptide · glow twice daily to support hydration, renewal, and a smoother, firmer, healthier-looking appearance.

01

Protect

Helps protect sensitive active ingredients from premature degradation caused by environmental factors such as air, light, and moisture.

02

Deliver

Skin-compatible lipids help optimize contact and interaction with the skin barrier, supporting the delivery of compatible bioactives.

03

Timed Release

Designed to support gradual release of the active ingredients over time, rather than delivering the entire active load at once.

04

Support

Designed to support professional skincare protocols by delivering compatible actives in alignment with the skin’s repair and regeneration process.

Patented nano-dermal delivery

Advanced Delivery Technology Meets Gentle Skin Support

novoLUX™ is powered by LNP3, a patented triple-layer lipid nanoparticle technology that helps deliver peptides, exosomes, and PDRN in a stable form. Its nanoemulgel system supports 24-hour sustained release while helping hydrate the skin, support visible renewal, and reduce the look of irritation for smoother, healthier-looking, radiant skin.

Questions, answered

The science, made clear.

Explore common questions about our technology, formulations and approach to topical skincare.

When should I begin using nano · repair?

Follow the instructions provided by your treatment professional. They can recommend when to begin application based on your treatment and skin condition.

How often should I apply nano · repair?

Use nano · repair according to the product directions or your provider’s personalized post-procedure protocol.

Can I use my regular skincare products after microneedling?

Some products—including retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, and fragranced formulas—may be too irritating immediately after treatment. Ask your provider when it is appropriate to reintroduce them.

Can nano · repair replace my treatment provider’s aftercare instructions?

No. nano.repair is intended to complement a professionally directed skincare routine. Always prioritize the instructions provided by your clinic.

Is nano · repair only for microneedling?

No. It is designed to support sensitive, compromised, post-procedure, and visibly recovering skin. Consult your provider to determine whether it is suitable for your needs.
