FAQs
How long will the procedure take?
The SQT Bio -needling procedure generally takes around 15 minutes to complete, however please allow an hour for your appointment time.
Is there a downtime?
After your SQT Bio-Microneedling treatment, you can expect some mild redness and sensitivity, which is a normal part of the healing process. These symptoms should resolve within a few hours to a day or two. You may also notice some slight peeling or flaking of the skin as the old skin cells are replaced by new, healthy skin.
Your therapist will provide you with specific post-treatment instructions to follow, including guidelines for cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting your skin from sun exposure.
Most individuals see significant improvement in their skin within a week of the treatment, but the full benefits of the treatment can become clear over the course of several weeks as the collagen rebuilds to its full potential.
What is a spicule?
Sponge spicules are a kind of siliceous bio micro-needle that is extracted from a freshwater sponge. They are rich in vitamins and minerals that feed the skin cells from within, stimulating collagen and elastin, they can penetrate the skin more eectively than any other device, while still being gentle yet powerful.
Spicules can be seen as a powder to the naked eye and as a sharp rod crystal under the microscope.
How long until I can see results?
You’ll enjoy results in as little as 5-7 days, and will continue to improve as the collagen is rebuilt.
Much faster than traditional Microneedling, which generally takes up to 28 days to see results.
How does Bio Micro-needling compare to traditional micro-needling?
SQT Bio-Microneedling is the new non invasive version of traditional Microneedling but even better!
Just 1 Bio-Microneedling session gives equivalent results to 3-5 traditional Microneedling sessions.
Natural siliceous microneedles penetrate to the dermis layer of the skin through a facial massage, opposed to using a device, this then promotes skin metabolism and stimulates collagen production. With Bio-Microneedling we are able to create 3-5 MILLION micro-
channels, with 3000% improved product absorption, Opposed to traditional Microneedling which only penetrates around 200,000 micro-channels and 500% improved product absorption.
With Bio-Microneedling, there is no risk of infection, no ‘needles’ and it is safe on all skin types including acne.
How many treatments will I need?
