Spicules are transforming beauty treatments. Ashley Wady, UK director, lead master and international trainer for SQT Biomicroneedling, explains their benefits, applications and effectiveness for skincare professionals.
Spicules, often referred to as "bio-microneedles", are emerging as a revolutionary technology in beauty treatments.
Their design and flexibility cater to various skin types and conditions, making them an essential tool for beauty therapists looking to enhance their services.
Enhanced delivery of active ingredients
One of the primary advantages of spicules is their ability to improve the delivery of active ingredients into the skin.
These microscopic, needle-like structures create micro-channels, allowing for deeper penetration compared to traditional topical treatments.
By facilitating direct delivery into the dermis, spicules ensure that skincare products work more effectively, maximising results for clients.
A non-invasive alternative for skincare
Spicules offer a non-invasive alternative to conventional skincare treatments like microneedling, chemical peels and laser procedures.
Their high purity levels (such as the 99.5% provided by SQT) ensure safety while minimising the risk of adverse effects. This makes them an attractive option for clients seeking effective results without significant downtime.
Promoting natural skin renewal
When applied, spicules stimulate natural cell turnover, promoting the exfoliation of dead skin cells and encouraging the regeneration of healthy skin.
This process results in smoother, firmer and brighter skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive techniques.
By leveraging the body's natural renewal processes, spicules enhance overall skin health and vitality.
Compatibility with advanced skincare ingredients
The spicule delivery system can be combined with potent skincare ingredients, including peptides, growth factors and antioxidants.
This compatibility allows beauty therapists to create customised treatments tailored to individual client needs.
The synergistic effects of spicules and these advanced formulations provide a more impactful skincare experience.
Growing recognition and support among beauty professionals
SQT’s research into non-invasive skincare methods, including spicules, is gaining momentum within the beauty industry.
Both beauty professionals and clients are recognising the safety, effectiveness, and convenience of this innovative technology.
As the trend shifts toward prioritising client comfort and visible results, spicules are poised to play a significant role in the future of beauty treatments.
