SQT bio micro-needling is needle free and plant powered. The revolutionary micro needling treatment is solely based on spicules from a fresh water sponge.

What are spicules?

Sponge spicules are a siliceous bio microneedle that are extracted from the freshwater sponge. Microscopic in size, invisible to the naked eye, the polished, crystal like teeny, tiny rods (3,000,000 to 1,500,000)  penetrate the skin by pressure and massage.

How do SQT spicules improve the skin?

Once massaged deep into the epidermis, down to the dermis of the skin the millions of spicules prompt skin surface microcirculation, activates basal cells and the skin’s natural repair mechanism. This natural repair response from the skin, increases cellular turnover to just  7 days instead of 28. 

Within 7 days, the skin is visibly renewed, refreshed, tightened and glowing!  After 4 treatments the visible results are truly, visibly amazing. 

SQT needle free bio micro-needling is suitable for most people. However certain individuals may not be a candidate for this procedure.

Microscopic Sponge Spicules

The treatment is needle free and there is zero breakage of the skin.
Thus, the sensation is much milder than metal needle based treatments.

Suzie Cunningham's skill and method of application assures your treatment will have minimal sensation and discomfort, all without topical anesthetic.

During the first 24 - 36 hrs after the treatment you will 'feel' the microscopic spicules in the skin when pressure is applied. This normal sensation will diminish as the spicules naturally shed out of the skin over 2-3 days.

Once the skin tightens then sheds, over the 4-7 days, prepare for a glowing, visibly smoother, more youthful looking skin!

Results may vary.
