Frequently Asked Questions
What is MicronJet™ and How Does it Work?
MicronJet™ utilizes advanced Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology to effectively deliver aesthetic products with high safety and minimal bruising, or other post-treatment side effects. NanoPass’s proprietary MEMS technology employs miniature delivery pyramids, smaller than 1 mm, to penetrate the skin at a controlled depth. This ensures accurate and consistent product delivery into the dermis, preventing the loss of product into deeper skin layers. The use of MicronJet™ enhances the outcomes of aesthetic treatments while minimizing pain and discomfort—improving both patient comfort and loyalty.
How to inject with MicronJet™?
STEP 1
- Hold syringe flanges between thumb and fingers.
- The blue line must face you at all times.
- Syringe flanges are not the orientation guide as they may not always be parallel to the blue line; use the blue line for orientation.
STEP 2
- Stretch the skin downwards throughout the entire injection.
- Insert the device at a 45˚-70˚angle (flatten as required to reduce injection pressure)
- Press the device into the skin until a shallow indentation is formed
STEP 3
- Inject slowly, expect strong resistance.
- A white wheal (bleb) will form at the injection site.
- Upon completion, wait 3 seconds and remove syringe.
How can I get the best results with the MicronJet™?
We encourage you to follow the instructions and not to do what we recommend avoiding. See this Do's and Don'ts table:
| Do's | Don'ts |
|---|---|
| Prepare the skin and syringe before attaching MicronJet™. Clean and dry the injections site | Don't inject on a wet skin |
| Ensure the blue line is facing up when orienting the device | Do not rely on the flanges for orientation |
| Stretch the skin below the injection site before inserting the device and maintain the stretch throughout the entire injection | |
| Insert gently at a 45°–70° angle, then slightly flatten the angle after insertion | Avoid inserting at more or less than 45°–70° angle —and always flatten the angle after insertion |
| Push the plunger gently only after full insertion and wait for a white bleb (papule) to form | Do not push the plunger early or apply excessive pressure during delivery |
| If you experience difficulties during the injection or notice leakage, slightly adjust the pressure and/or angle to achieve a successful injection. | Do not put too much pressure or not enough pressure |
| Once the bleb (papule) forms, stop pushing the plunger and move to the next injection site. You can wait 2-3 seconds upon completion to reduce backflow leakage | Stop pushing once a bleb (papule) is formed to prevent product leakage |
| Lift the syringe assembly off the skin | Withdraw MicronJet™ carefully to prevent skin trauma |
