How Many Nanopore Sessions Do You Need? Guide by Goal

Nanopore is the painless, no-needle alternative to Dermapen — using nanocrystal technology to enhance penetration of active ingredients. The number of sessions varies dramatically based on your goal. Here's the breakdown.

What is Nanopore

Nanopore uses silicon nanocrystals (not needles) to create temporary micro-channels in the outer skin layer. This allows topical actives (vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, peptides, growth factors) to penetrate much deeper without piercing the skin. Zero pain, zero downtime.

Spots and melasma: 6–8 sessions

Pigmentation requires consistent treatment to address melanin deposits. 6–8 sessions every 2–3 weeks combined with depigmenting actives (tranexamic acid, vitamin C). Results visible from session 4. Maintenance: 1 session monthly for 3 months after the protocol.

Large pores: 4–6 sessions

4–6 sessions every 2 weeks with vitamin A and B3 (niacinamide). Visible improvement after session 3. The treatment doesn't close pores permanently but tightens surrounding skin to reduce visible diameter. Combined with a good home retinol routine.

General rejuvenation: 4–6 sessions

4–6 sessions every 2–3 weeks with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid cocktails. Excellent for patients who want luminosity and freshness without downtime. Perfect for pre-event treatment (wedding, photo shoot, important meeting).

Combined with Dermapen

Many patients alternate: monthly Dermapen (deep collagen stimulation) + biweekly Nanopore (luminosity and active penetration between Dermapen sessions). This combined protocol delivers rejuvenation results faster than either treatment alone.
