✨ A silicone nano-tip cartridge for the CIT Pen that delivers epidermal infusion without dermal penetration — the go-to choice when your client needs real results and zero downtime.
Pyramid-shaped silicone tips, finer than a single hair strand, create thousands of micro-channels per minute across the epidermis, driving co-applied serums deep into the skin's surface layer without breaking the barrier. No numbing cream, no recovery window, no rescheduling concerns. The integrated silicone anti-backflow lock physically prevents fluid migration into the handpiece, while the single-use sterile construction eliminates cross-contamination risk between clients — meeting the standard of care your practice demands.
What sets this cartridge apart is its cleared application range: lips, upper and lower eyelids to the lash line, scalp, and body — zones where traditional needling cartridges can't safely go — making it a genuine service expander on a single device platform.
For practices ready to offer infusion facials, lash-line treatments, and scalp services under one tool.
Silicone Nano Tips: Microscopic pyramid-shaped silicone tips thinner than a single strand of human hair. Because they do not penetrate the dermis, they create thousands of superficial micro-channels per minute across the epidermis without breaking the skin barrier, enabling dramatically enhanced absorption of topically applied serums and actives.
Silicone Lock Anti-Backflow System: An integrated silicone locking mechanism within the cartridge body that physically blocks fluid migration back into the device handpiece, preventing cross-contamination between clients and protecting the device from internal contamination.
Single-Use Sterile Construction: Each cartridge is factory-sterilized and designated for one-time use only, eliminating infection risk associated with reused penetration devices and meeting standard-of-care requirements for skin-channel-creating tools.
- Verify the client's health history and confirm the absence of contraindications, including active skin infections, open wounds, silicone sensitivity, or compromised skin integrity in the treatment area.
- Cleanse the treatment area thoroughly and prepare the skin according to the service protocol.
- Remove the nano cartridge from its sterile packaging immediately before use; inspect for any visible damage.
- Attach the cartridge securely to the CIT Pen handpiece according to the device manufacturer's instructions.
- Apply the selected topical serum or active product to the treatment area.
- Set the CIT Pen to the appropriate speed and depth setting for the treatment zone and client skin type.
- Move the device in controlled, overlapping passes across the treatment area, allowing the nano tips to create micro-channels while simultaneously driving the topical product into the epidermis.
- For periocular or lash-line areas, use careful, deliberate strokes and avoid direct contact with the ocular surface.
- For lip, scalp, or body zones, adapt pass technique to the contour and sensitivity of the area.
- After completing the treatment passes, apply a finishing topical product appropriate to the service outcome.
- Detach the used cartridge from the handpiece and dispose of it immediately in an appropriate sharps or biohazard waste container per local regulations.
- Do not recap or re-attach a used cartridge to the device.
Service customization and upsell moment
Because the nano cartridge does not penetrate the dermis, it pairs best with low-molecular-weight serums formulated for epidermal delivery — hyaluronic acid, peptide complexes, and brightening actives are strong co-application choices. Avoid thick occlusives or high-viscosity oils as the primary infusion product, as these can impede tip movement and micro-channel formation.
The zero-downtime profile makes this an effective retail conversion moment: immediately after the service, while the client's skin is visibly glowing and receptive, explain that maintaining the absorption benefit at home depends on the quality of products they apply in the first 24–48 hours. Recommend the specific serum used during the service as a take-home retail item, connecting the in-service experience directly to a home-care purchase.
