Product Specification

316l Stainless Steel Electroplating Polishing Cnc Milling Metal Beauty Needle

Product Description

The 316L Stainless Steel Plated and Polished CNC Milled Metal Beauty Needle is a high-end, precision-crafted aesthetic instrument. It combines the biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of medical-grade 316L stainless steel with advanced manufacturing and finishing techniques. The core needle structure is精密machined via CNC milling for exact dimensions and geometry. It then undergoes a specialized plating process (such as gold, titanium nitride, or rhodium) for enhanced surface properties, followed by high-gloss polishing to achieve a flawless, mirror-like finish. This combination results in a needle that is not only highly functional for precise procedures but also exhibits superior durability, smoothness for reduced skin trauma, and a premium aesthetic appeal suitable for luxury beauty treatments.

Product Processing

1. CNC Milling of 316L Substrate: The needle body is精密machined from a solid rod of 316L stainless steel using high-precision CNC milling centers or CNC Swiss lathes. This creates the exact needle profile, including any tapers, hubs, or connection features.

2. Pre-Plating Surface Preparation: The machined needle undergoes rigorous cleaning and surface activation. This typically involves precision polishing to a specific Ra value, followed by ultrasonic cleaning and electrocleaning to remove all contaminants and oxides, ensuring perfect adhesion for the plating layer.

3. Specialized Electroplating: The needle is plated using an electrochemical process. Common luxury/medical platings include:

   • 24K Gold Plating: For hypoallergenic properties, corrosion resistance, and a premium appearance.

   • Titanium Nitride (TiN) or Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) Coating (PVD): For extreme hardness, wear resistance, and a distinctive gold/champagne color.

   • Rhodium Plating: For a brilliant, white, tarnish-resistant finish.

4. Post-Plating Precision Polishing: The plated surface undergoes a multi-stage mechanical polishing process using progressively finer abrasives and buffing compounds. This step removes any microscopic imperfections from the plating, achieving a perfect mirror finish (Ra < 0.025 µm) that minimizes skin drag.

5. Sterilization-Prep Finishing & Cleaning: A final ultra-sonic cleaning in deionized water and medical-grade solvents removes all polishing residues. The needle is then packaged in a cleanroom environment suitable for terminal sterilization.

6. Quality Inspection: 100% visual inspection under high-intensity light and magnification for surface defects, plating uniformity, and polish quality. Dimensional checks and adhesion tests (per ASTM B571) are performed on samples.

Product Applications

• High-End Microneedling (Dermarolling/Dermastamping): As the核心needles in automated pens or as individual stamp needles for collagen induction therapy.

• Mesotherapy & Bio-Revitalization: For intradermal delivery of cocktails, vitamins, or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).

• Permanent Makeup & Microblading: As precision needles for pigment implantation in eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip blush procedures.

• Thread Lifting: As the guidance or delivery component for absorbable PDO/PLLA threads.

• Luxury Acupuncture & Traditional Medicine: For practitioners seeking tools with superior finish, durability, and a premium feel.
