The best serum will not work if it stays on the surface of the epidermis. This is a common frustration: expensive cosmetics "make no difference" because the skin's natural barrier repels them.
Nanopore DermaQuest solves this directly. It first creates microscopic channels in the epidermis. Then, while they are open, it introduces a concentrated DermaQuest serum tailored to your concern. Active ingredients reach deeper than with standard application. Since the channels are shallower than with a medical Dermapen, the skin heals quickly. You will not be out of action for several days. This is a cosmetology treatment. At J'adore Instytut, it is performed by an experienced cosmetologist. Below you will find everything you need to know before your first visit.

How it works
Nanopore DermaQuest is a two-stage salon protocol. First, the microneedling device creates micro-channels — very precise, controlled openings. Immediately after, while these channels are still open, the cosmetologist introduces a concentrated DermaQuest serum. This moment determines the result. Active substances penetrate much deeper than when applying cream to unprepared skin.
The key difference from a classic Dermapen is the depth. Nanopore channels are shallower, so the skin does not undergo such strong micro-trauma. This results in minimal discomfort and short recovery time. You get the effect of an advanced treatment without "hiding" at home for several days. This is a cosmetology treatment, not a medical one — and that is how we approach it.
Ideal for
This is not a "one and done" treatment. The best results come from a series of 3–6 treatments. Change in texture, tone and hydration builds gradually, visit by visit.
Women's and men's zones
For women, the most common goals are radiance, even skin tone and deep hydration, as well as smoothing first wrinkles. We choose the DermaQuest serum for the problem — antioxidant, brightening, hydrating or regenerating. This is the classic Nanopore DermaQuest for women.
The areas we support
Male skin is thicker, more often oily or combination, with more visible pores. That is why for men, Nanopore targets primarily texture, pores and old acne discolouration. This is the so-called Nanopore DermaQuest for men.
The areas we support
Fact: "nano" is not just marketing — the channels are truly tiny. This gives the skin a signal to regenerate and lets the serum in deeper. At the same time, it does not cause such a strong micro-injury as a deep Dermapen. Less drama, more ingredient transport.
Safety
With a microneedling treatment, the result and safety depend on three things you should ask about in any salon:
At J'adore, Nanopore is conducted by an experienced cosmetologist. They assess the skin condition, qualify you for the treatment and select the serum. This is not a "self-service" pen from the internet. Work hygiene, technique and knowledge of contraindications matter.
We use original, professional DermaQuest serums from legal distribution, selected for your skin problem. An ingredient introduced through open channels works more powerfully. Therefore, its quality and origin are even more important than with standard application.
The element contacting the skin must be sterile and single-use or correctly sterilised. You have the right to ask how the salon ensures this.
Red flag: suspiciously cheap "Nanopore" · A bargain price is often the first warning sign. Watch out for: non-original or "unbranded" serums instead of DermaQuest, lack of information about sterile equipment, a person without cosmetological training, and promises of a "miracle" effect after one treatment. A good salon will tell you without hesitation which serum they are using, who is performing the treatment and how many sessions are realistically needed.

Contraindications
Some contraindications are permanent, and some are temporary — in those cases, we simply reschedule the treatment until the situation passes. The cosmetologist performs a full qualification during the consultation.
From the cosmetologist's office
The most frequently forgotten issue is herpes. Clients say: "I only have it on my lips, and we are doing the treatment on my cheeks — surely it doesn't matter?". It does. An active virus is a risk regardless of where it appeared, and needling can wake it up. It is better to reschedule by a few days.
This is not a full list — we will go through your medications, skin diseases and previous treatments individually during the consultation.
What to expect
Most importantly: this is a series treatment, and the effect builds up. The skin looks fresher after the first visit, but real change in texture, tone and hydration builds through subsequent treatments.
Sometimes I hear after the first visit: "I expected a bigger effect". This is completely normal — Nanopore works cumulatively. Most is visible after the third or fourth visit, when the skin rebuilds its texture and evens out its tone. That is why we plan a series from the start, not a single treatment.
After the series, it is worth maintaining the result with maintenance treatments every few months and selected home care — it is what "works" between visits.

Nanopore and your lifestyle
Most questions are not about the treatment itself, but what comes after: makeup, sun, sauna, pool, home cosmetics. There is one rule — treat the skin gently for the first 24 hours so the freshly opened channels can close calmly and the skin does not get irritated.
Skip makeup for the first 24 hours — the skin is more permeable and prone to irritation. Later, return to your routine, ideally with gentle products.
Freshly after needling, the skin is sensitive to UV. Avoid intense sun for several days and use SPF 50+ daily — this is key for hyperpigmentation. Fresh tan = we reschedule the treatment.
High temperatures dilate vessels and intensify redness. Plan your sauna, hammam or hot bath only after 1–2 days.
Chlorinated or salt water can irritate freshly needled skin. Hold off on the pool or sea for at least 1–2 days.
Stop acid peels, strong exfoliation and retinol for a few days after the treatment to avoid layering irritation on irritation. The cosmetologist will determine when to return.
Significantly accelerated circulation and sweat promote redness in the first 24 hours. Calmly return to the gym after one day.
Nanopore DermaQuest
These methods share one goal — to introduce ingredients deeper — but they differ in the route and depth. They are not competitors, but rather a ladder from gentlest to deepest:
micro-channels + serum infusion
does not reach as deep as a medical Dermapen — not a treatment for deep scars or advanced laxity
without needling (electro/sonophoresis)
introduces ingredients most shallowly of all three — gentler, less intense effect
injections of cocktails into the skin
requires needles and acceptance of more discomfort; brief redness and bruising are more common
What to combine with
Nanopore fits well into a treatment plan and enhances other treatments. The cosmetologist decides on the order and intervals during the consultation, but the general logic is consistent:
The simplest tip for choosing: if you want a noticeable change in texture and tone, but without needles and without a break from life — Nanopore is the middle ground. Are you afraid of every prick? We move to needle-free mesotherapy. Do you want a stronger stimulus and accept needles? Then we talk about needle mesotherapy. We decide on the choice during the consultation.
DermaQuest serums
The heart of the treatment is not the needling itself, but the selection of the serum. DermaQuest offers several directions of action — the cosmetologist composes the protocol for your problem, so two people in the same chair may receive completely different preparations.
Brightens, evens out the tone and supports protection against free radicals.
Dla kogoGrey, tired complexion; first aid for loss of radiance.
Works on hyperpigmentation — post-acne, sun spots and hormonal.
Dla kogoSpots, uneven skin tone, acne marks.
Supports firmness and smoothing of first wrinkles, "feeds" the skin.
Dla kogoAnti-ageing prevention, loss of elasticity.
Intensely hydrates dehydrated skin that cannot be saved by moisturising from a tube alone.
Dla kogoDehydrated, tight, dull complexion.
Stronger anti-ageing and smoothing direction; a more active protocol.
Dla kogoMaturer skin, clearer work on texture — with separate contraindications (e.g. pregnancy).
Fact: Why the differences? They come from the serum's direction of action (brightening, hydrating, anti-ageing) and the concentration of ingredients, not from a "better or worse" version. This is why the consultation is so important. An incorrectly chosen serum is a wasted treatment potential, not just a different scent on the shelf.
