NANO-Q / Skin & Scalp, Nano-Sizing Drug Delivery

By Gu So-Yeon, Director of Dongan Center in Cheongdam

When expressed differently, various indications can be described as multiple functions. The release of multifunctional devices has become a trend in the current market, offering increased cost-effectiveness and utility.

NANO-Q is a device for skin and scalp care. The first feature of NANO-Q is its ability to be applied to both the skin and scalp. Due to the scalp market being somewhat of a "red ocean" compared to the skin and obesity markets, many scalp devices are often unsuitable for use on the skin. NANO-Q’s advantage is its applicability to both the skin and scalp.

Introduction and Features of NANO-Q

Each function of NANO-Q includes powerful pneumatic jet peeling (Jet Peel), a nano-mist system that finely pulverizes drugs to enhance skin penetration, iontophoresis and galvanic for use on both the skin and scalp, and lymphatic drainage using negative pressure to stimulate the lymph nodes around the face and scalp. These features are combined into one device.

• Jet Peel is effective for removing skin and scalp keratin, scaling, and removing residue after acne extraction. The use of only pneumatic pressure and distilled water minimizes skin irritation, and there are almost no consumables. Additionally, since NANO-Q does not use a medical oxygen tank, there is no hassle or special management required for changing or storing oxygen tanks, making it more convenient. The spray pressure is set higher than with oxygen tanks, reducing the time required for treatments.

• Nano Mist is a system that sprays finely pulverized drug particles. It can be applied not only to the skin and scalp but also to the hair. Typically, when treating hair, the spraying process causes the hair to become wet, leading to discomfort for patients. However, the nano-mist from NANO-Q uses smaller particles, so the hair does not get wet during the treatment, even while the patient is seated. It can also be used to treat neck wrinkles while the patient is sitting.

• Galvanic is a function that administers drugs to the skin. Many aesthetic clinics already own devices for skin treatment, but most of these are unsuitable for the scalp, requiring separate purchases. NANO-Q’s galvanic function can be used on various areas, including the skin, scalp, and neck. Notably, the galvanic handle is integrated with the nano-mist handpiece, allowing both nano-mist spraying and electrical stimulation to be used simultaneously, offering a synergistic effect.

• Spray is less commonly used, as the spray pressure is much lower than Jet Peel and the amount of drug spray cannot be finely adjusted. However, despite these limitations, scalp-focused devices that rely primarily on spraying have been released to the market. The choice is left to the reader’s discretion.

• Negative Pressure is effective for managing the lymphatic system around the face’s V-line and the back of the neck. While various devices are already in use for facial treatments, few devices target the lymphatic system connecting to the scalp, making it highly effective for scalp care.

Reasons to Recommend NANO-Q

With its combination of various functions, NANO-Q is likely to be a high-value device. However, if the individual features have performance significantly lower than specialized devices, it could end up being a cumbersome and ineffective machine. Many people have purchased multifunctional devices, only to find that they need to buy separate devices to achieve the results they desire. It’s important to understand that "multifunctionality" must be backed by each feature performing at a standard level.
BeautyTech is a manufacturer specializing in aesthetic devices, and prior to the launch of NANO-Q, they had already released individual devices for Jet Peel, Nano Mist, Galvanic, and Lymphatic Drainage. The performance of each of these functions on NANO-Q is not lacking compared to standalone devices. For clinics offering treatments for skin, obesity, and scalp, NANO-Q is a highly recommended, versatile solution.
