SQT Bio-Microneedling

Natural spicule-based microneedling alternative using sponge particles for dramatic skin renewal

SQT Bio-Microneedling uses natural siliceous spicules (sponge-derived micro-needles) to create channels in the skin, stimulating intense cell renewal. This treatment is particularly effective for acne, acne scars, and pigmentation, delivering results similar to aggressive chemical peels with a different mechanism.

Frequently Asked

FAQ
No. SQT uses natural sponge spicules that stay in the skin for 72 hours. Traditional microneedling uses metal needles that create immediate channels.
The spicules remain in the skin and continue stimulating turnover for 72 hours, causing more dramatic but effective peeling.
For acne/scars: 4-6 sessions, 2-4 weeks apart. For general rejuvenation: 2-3 sessions.
The massage application isn't painful, but skin feels prickly for 24-72 hours afterwards as spicules work. Some find this uncomfortable.
