​A little bit about the science and how no "needles" as you know it are involved.

‘The SQT Facial Is The Future Of Microneedling’
​
”Instead of taking 28 days for you to see your results (the standard time for most microneedling treatments), you’ll see your SQT skin change happen over seven days because that basal skin cell has been activated”
‘All You Need To Know About This Needle-Free Treatment’
​
”Enter the SQT facial, a revolutionary alternative to conventional microneedling. Picture this: no blood, minimal redness, and no need for a needling device. It’s a skincare game-changer, breaking free from the expectations tied to traditional microneedling.”
In just 5 Minutes, 3 -5 million natural siliceous microneedles are directly introduced into the dermis layer of the skin through hand massage to promote skin metabolism and stimulate collagen regeneration. There is no bleeding, no anaesthesia, and no skin breakage. The treatment shortens the skin cycle from 28 days to 7 days by activation of the basal skin cells, and achieves natural, safe, and
effective physical rejuvenation.
​
Spongilla spicules are an effective modality of skin resurfacing and provide a natural alternative approach to microdermabrasion and dermabrasion, chemical peels (glycolic acid, Jessner’s, phenol and trichloroacetic acid peels), CO laser resurfacing and Erbium laser peels to correct visual facial defects such as hyperpigmentation of various etiology, fine wrinkles, Sun damage, Superficial Scars, comedones, enlarged pores, and facial rejuvenation.
​
Upon massaging Spongilla spicules into the skin, the spicules mechanically separate the epidermal layers and reduce keratinocyte cohesion, thereby increasing stratum corneum sloughing and sebum plug and loose keratinocyte removal.
​
SQT can effectively treat an array of skin problems including and not limited to: Acne, Acne scars, Pigmentation, melasma, Pimples, Whelk, Blackheads, Whiteheads, Large pores, Papules, Anti-Aging, Stretch Marks, Anti-wrinkle regeneration, Fine Lines, lifting and firming, Blemishes ,hydration and oil balancing.
What is SQT® Spongilla Spicule?
1. SQT® Spongilla Spicules are a kind of siliceous bio microneedle that is extracted from the freshwater sponge.
2. It can be seen as powder by our eyes, and as sharp rod crystal or blunt bone needle under the microscope. Spongilla spicules are generally 200-250um in length and around 10um in diameter.
3. SQT® Spongilla Spicules are the core product of Sunshine Bio-Tech. Hunan Sunshine Bio-Tech Co.Ltd. is the pioneer of hydrolysed sponge purification and extraction, with 8 years of dedicated R&D and production, we deeply polish each bio microneedle to provide the highest quality spongilla spicules for the cosmetic industry.
How many sessions are required?
A course of 4 sessions is recommended every 2 weeks for long term and effective results on the face.
For body parts and dependant on the condition, a course of 6 – 8 sessions may be required.
As we still age and are prone to environmental aggressors daily, Maintenance sessions are required every 8-12 weeks for long term results and educational advice on homecare is vital.
Can SQT® be combined with other treatments?
We do not advise SQT treatments to be combined with any other treatments apart from LED Photo rejuvenation
The SQT treatment will feel like an exfoliation scrub which gets more intense throughout the treatment, the needling part of the treatment lasts only 5-10 minutes. Anaesthetic is not required, and the treatment is more of a sensation rather than a pain.
Are there any side effects/down time?
Flaking or peeling can be expected on day 3-5 depending on the aesthetician’s level of penetration and the clients current skin condition. Not everyone will peel from treatment, and this does not mean it is not working, rather that the area is regenerating at a faster rate.
Spongilla spicules will not be absorbed but they can last in the skin for up to 48~72 hours. After 48 -72 hours they will be discharged with the stratum corneum that has fallen off.
Compared with a traditional metal microneedle, the procedure is much easier and the risk of infection is greatly reduced.
Compared with chemical peeling and herbal peeling, SQT® spongilla spicules therapy has NO SIDE EFFECTS, is suitable for all skin types and colours, because the ingredients are all natural and does not contain acid or ingredients that damage the skin.
​
SQT bio Microneedling is set to over take most machine based laser treatments in the next 5 years as the skin health is left in a much healthier position and heals much faster than traditional lasers and chemical peels.
