SQT Treatments
SQT is a bio-microneedling treatment that uses 100% natural sponge spicules (tiny silica-based micro-needles from freshwater sponges).
These micro-crystals are massaged into the skin, creating thousands of micro-channels to trigger rapid skin regeneration.
Unlike normal microneedling which punctures the skin mechanically, SQT uses biological spicules to stimulate skin from within.
- Natural spicules: Instead of traditional needles, SQT uses spongilla spicules, which are microscopic needles derived from freshwater sponges.
- Stimulates cell turnover: These spicules create millions of micro-channels, stimulating the skin's repair and regeneration mechanisms and accelerating cell turnover to as little as 5-7 days, compared to the typical 28 days for traditional microneedling.
- Boosts collagen: The process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to improve the overall texture, tone, and elasticity of the skin.
- Minimal invasiveness: It's a less invasive procedure than traditional microneedling, typically causing minimal bleeding and downtime. Mild redness or sensitivity may occur but resolves within a few days.
What SQT Does
It helps with:
- Acne & breakouts
- Acne scars
- Pigmentation & melasma
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Uneven texture
- Oil control
- Congestion
- Dull, tired skin
Clients usually feel a prickly sensation for 24–48 hours, and it causes a light peel over 2–5 days depending on the strength.
How SQT Works
- The spicules penetrate the epidermis when massaged in.
- The skin responds with rapid cell turnover (up to 7× faster than normal).
- This boosts collagen, normalises oil production, and clears debris.
- After the peel phase, the skin looks smoother, brighter, tighter, and clearer.
Why It’s Popular
- No downtime like traditional microneedling
- No bleeding
- Safe for most skin types
- Natural & needle-free
- Great for acne clients who can’t tolerate harsher treatments
- Results can be seen after 1 session, with best results in a series of 3–6
