If fine lines are the reason you are looking at micro infusion, choosing the best micro infusion system for wrinkles comes down to six things.
They are a fresh head for every session, how fine the touchpoints are, which areas you can use it on, what is in the serum, how often you use it, and what the guarantee asks of you.

The six things to check
Here is what to look at before you buy, and why each one matters for the look of lines specifically.
1. A fresh sterile head for every session
Heads are single use, so before you buy, check that the kit includes a fresh sterile head for every session it covers.
A routine for the look of lines only works if you can keep it going for months, and a fresh head in the box for every session is part of what makes that easy.
The Seranova™ Micro Infusion System ships one sterile head for every session, at every kit size. Two heads for two sessions, six for six. Nothing is reused and there is nothing to clean.
2. How fine the touchpoints are, and what they are made of
This is the part that touches your skin, so ask about it before anything else. Look for ultra-fine, cosmetic-grade touchpoints, and for a brand willing to tell you what they are made of and whether the head is sterile.
If a product page will not tell you, that is information too.
The Micro Infusion System uses ultra-fine, cosmetic-grade touchpoints on a 24K gold plated, sterile, single use head.
3. Whether it covers the areas you care about
Lines do not stop at the face. The neck and chest often show them just as clearly in photographs, and they are often the areas left out of the guidance.
Check the permitted areas carefully. The Micro Infusion System is for use on your face, neck and chest. Keep about 1.5 inches away from your eyes.
4. What is in the serum, and whether it comes with it
A stamp on its own does very little. The serum is the part that goes to work on the look of lines, so check that a serum made for the system comes in the box.
Check how it is packaged too. A sealed dose for each session means nothing is decanted, left open or topped up between uses.
The serum in The Micro Infusion System comes sealed in its own single use vial for each session, and it is built around:
- A bioactive peptide complex of Hexapeptide-8, Tetrapeptide-11 and Tetrapeptide-9, which helps improve the look of firmness, for skin that looks smoother and more elastic.
- Matrixyl 3000™, a recognized peptide duo that helps improve the look of firmness and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Hyaluronic acid, a moisture binding humectant that delivers lasting hydration to visibly plump the look of skin and soften the appearance of fine lines.
- Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that helps visibly refine the look of texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- Glycerin, which helps skin feel hydrated, soft and comfortable.
Peptides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide are the three worth looking for high on any ingredient list if the look of wrinkles and fine lines is your focus.
5. How often you are expected to use it
More is not better here. A system asking for weekly sessions is asking a lot of skin that is already thinner and more delicate than it was.
It is also a question of whether you will keep going. Ten minutes every two weeks is a routine that is easy to keep up for months. Something that needs a long session twice a week is a routine that is much harder to keep up, and the look of lines rewards consistency more than anything else.
Micro infusion with The Micro Infusion System is a 10-minute session once every two weeks. 87% of surveyed customers reported no recovery time was needed after use.
Based on a self-reported survey of 282 Seranova customers.
6. The guarantee, and what it asks of you
Most brands offer some form of money back window. The terms are where they differ.
Read whether the refund requires you to submit before and after photographs, because some do. Seranova's 90 day guarantee does not. Use it for 90 days, and if you do not see visible results, you get your money back.

Micro infusion for lines around the mouth, marionette lines and other wrinkles
Not every line looks the same, and not every area changes at the same pace. Here is how micro infusion fits each of the lines people ask about most, and where The Micro Infusion System can and cannot go.
Lines around the mouth
The fine vertical lines around your mouth, sometimes called smoker's lines or barcode lines, are the ones most people want to soften, and they are the slowest to show change because they move every time you speak, eat or smile.
This skin is part of your face, a permitted area, so you can include it in every session. Give it a few months before you judge it.
Marionette lines
Marionette lines run down from the corners of your mouth toward your chin. They often look deeper as skin around the jawline looks less firm, so a serum built for the look of firmness matters here as much as one for lines.
They sit on the lower face, a permitted area, so you can include them in every session.
Smile lines and laugh lines
The lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth are on your face, a permitted area. Many people notice them looking softer as skin looks more hydrated and plumper.
Forehead lines
Usually the easiest area to work on, because the skin is flatter and moves less than around the mouth. Many people notice the look of smoother, more even skin here first.
Frown lines
The vertical lines between your brows, often called the 11s, sit close to your eyes. Keep about 1.5 inches away from your eyes, and if the area between your brows is closer than that, leave it out of your session.
Neck lines
Often overlooked, and often the area that gives the game away in photographs. The neck is a permitted area, so include it in every session if it is on your list.
Chest wrinkles
Sun and sleeping on one side both tend to show up here. The chest is a permitted area for The Micro Infusion System, so it can be part of the same 10 minutes.
How to use a micro infusion system for fine lines
The routine itself is simple:
- Prepare. Start with freshly cleansed skin. Open the system, fill it with serum and attach a fresh single use head.
- Press. Stamp the ultra-fine touchpoints across your skin, helping the serum absorb more effectively than applying it by hand.
- Reveal. With a session every two weeks, skin looks smoother, plumper and more refreshed over time.
What you do between sessions matters as much as the session.
- Comfort afterward. Starting the day after your micro infusion session, a gentle, fragrance free cream morning and night helps skin look calm, hydrated and comfortable. Seranova's Deep Collagen Cream is made to pair with The Micro Infusion System.
- SPF every day. Sun is one of the fastest ways to undo the look of progress on lines, especially on the chest and around the mouth. Seranova's SPF 50 Protect & Repair Serum is a weightless, broad-spectrum SPF 50 with no white cast, made as the final step of your morning routine. Start it the day after your micro infusion session, over your face and neck.
- Keep the rest of your routine gentle. Skin that feels calm and comfortable between sessions is skin you can keep working on.
How long micro infusion takes to show results on fine lines
Skin can feel more hydrated soon after a session. The look of fine lines takes longer, and the area around your mouth is usually slower than your cheeks or forehead, because it moves all day.
Give it a few months of consistent sessions every two weeks before you judge it, and take a photograph at the start in the same light. It is very hard to see gradual change in your own face without one.

I was pleasantly surprised especially my eye area. The fine lines by my eyes are considerably less noticeable. I also see a slight difference with my under eye puffiness and my hooded eye. I have two treatments left and I am noticing the difference. Very easy to use and not too painful.

It took me awhile to realize that my Seranova Treatments were the reason my skin was looking so good. I’d look in the mirror after washing my face in the evening and think my face is looking pretty good for 54 then it dawned on me it must have something to do with Seranova. This was after my third treatment, I’d kind of forgotten since it’s every other week. I can’t wait to see the results after a couple more months.

Common mistakes that hold back the look of results
- Skipping sessions. Every two weeks, consistently, beats an intense month followed by nothing.
- Using it more often than the guidance says. It does not speed anything up, and it asks more of your skin.
- Reusing a head. Heads are single use. Start every session with a fresh one.
- Skipping SPF. Especially on the chest and around the mouth.
- Judging it in the mirror. Use photographs, taken the same way each time.
- Stopping before 90 days. The guarantee is 90 days for a reason. Give it the full window before you decide.
Is at home micro infusion right for you?
The Micro Infusion System is for anyone focused on the look of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. If dark spots and uneven tone are your main concern rather than lines, look at The Micro Infusion Pigmentation System instead.
Before you start: if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, scar easily, react to metals or have a skin condition, speak with a qualified skincare professional before using any at home skincare system.
Seranova's guidance names rosacea, eczema and active acne, recommends a patch test first, and says to wait at least two weeks after cosmetic injections.
