Micro Infusion Kit
What is it?
The Microinfusion stamper uses twenty extremely fine 24K gold-plated, surgical grade stainless steel needles to create micro punctures in the top layer of skin. You may create your own custom skincare cocktail from a variety of our ampules and serums. By using the Microinfusion device your skincare mixture is being delivered directly into the skin at a standard depth of .25mm which stimulates cellular renewal in the upper layer of the skin through gentle, controlled micro-injuries. The body’s natural healing process begins to produce collagen and elastin which results in firmer skin, improved texture, brighter tone, extra hydration, and minimization of pores, blemishes, and scars.
How long does it take to work?
Results are typically seen within 3-7 days after treatment and the treatment is ideal for event skin prep! Results typically last approximately 1-3 months (depending on your lifestyle and overall skin quality). This procedure can be done as often as every 3-4 weeks, and doing several treatments throughout the year will continue to improve long term skin quality.

MicroInfusion Kit Instructions
Before using your Microinfusion Kit please read all instructions.
-
Open your stamper and follow all the directions on your Microinfusion Kit packaging (pro-tip after soaking your needles in alcohol be sure to let it completely dry. You should test this by stamping the needles on the back of your clean hand or forearm to ensure there is no liquid left in the needles before you continue).
-
Select your ampule and serum.
-
When opening the ampule be sure to use a thick cloth or paper towel to protect your hands and snap at the black dot.
-
Some people find ampules to be difficult to open and pour out. We provide a small pipette for your convenience.
-
Place the serum into the Microinfusion canister. Filling the canister halfway is enough for the face. You will need to add more serum for your neck and décolletage.
-
Once you have filled your canister, carefully twist the cap on snugly and tip upside down. The needles should still be protected under the cap.
-
Let the serum and canister remain upside down for about 2 minutes.
-
Once you are ready to begin, you must prime the needles. This requires you to gently stamp the skin until the serum is flowing through.
-
Begin stamping your face with a 25%-50% overlap. Tilting your head to keep the canister upside down is the most effective way to release the serum into the skin.
Post-Care Instructions
-
A sunburn-like effect immediately post-treatment is normal. The treated area may appear pink in color, but will resolve in 1-2 hours. The skin may feel tight, dry, and sensitive.
-
We recommend using one of our refrigerated sheet masks directly after treatment to cool and calm the skin.
-
Do not wash your face for the first 6 hours.
-
Wash the treated area with a gentle cleanser and apply the Hydrate Serum morning and night for three days.
-
You may resume your normal daily skincare routine in conjunction with the Hydrate serum 24 hours after treatment. With the exception of any Retinols which should be avoided for 1 week.
-
Sun exposure must be avoided for at least 24 hours after your treatment.
-
Do not use exfoliating medications, scrubs, or products on the treated areas for 1 week.
-
No exercise that causes sweating, jacuzzi, sauna, or steam baths if any skin irritation exists.
-
It is recommended that makeup not be applied for at least 8 hours post procedure.
-
For best results and efficacy, maintenance treatments are recommended every 1-3 months.
Can I reuse the stamp?
The Microinfusion stamp is designed for single use only.
-
There is no way the device can be properly cleaned and sterilized. Skin tissue can be lodged inside of the needles lumen which may not be visible to the naked eye.
-
After you use your stamper the needles will become dull which can cause discomfort and irritation during subsequent treatments.
-
The dull and unsterile needles will not be able to penetrate the skin effectively and your serum will be wasted.
