Frequently Asked Questions

• SQT® Spongilla Spicules are specialized siliceous biomicro-needles derived from freshwater sponges.
• These micro-needles are visible to the naked eye in powder form, while microscopy reveals their structure as either sharp rod-like crystals or more blunt, bone-like needles. Typically, Spongilla spicules have a length of 200-250 micrometers and a diameter of approximately 10 micrometers.
• SQT® Spongilla Spicules represent the cornerstone of Sunshine Bio-Tech's product line. Hunan Sunshine Bio-Tech Co. Ltd. stands as the pioneering force in the purification and extraction of hydrolyzed sponge materials, boasting 8 years of unwavering commitment to research and production. Our meticulous attention to detail ensures the delivery of top-tier Spongilla spicules to meet the exacting standards of the cosmetics industry.

Our Spongilla Spicule Beauty Set is free from acid ingredients. Unlike chemical peels that utilize high concentrations of acids for rapid exfoliation. Our Spongilla Spicule therapy set offers a natural and healthy treatment that accelerates skin metabolism, reducing the typical 28-day cycle to just 7 days.

• In just 5 minutes, an application of 3-5 million natural siliceous micro-needles is gently massaged into the skin's dermal layer, facilitating skin metabolism and encouraging the regeneration of collagen. This non-invasive treatment requires no bleeding, anesthesia, or skin damage. It effectively accelerates the skin's natural cycle from 28 days to just 7 days by activating basal skin cells, providing a safe, natural, and highly efficient method of physical rejuvenation.
• Spongilla spicules offer an effective approach to skin resurfacing, serving as a natural alternative to procedures like microdermabrasion, dermabrasion, chemical peels (including glycolic acid, Jessner's, phenol, and trichloroacetic acid peels), CO2 laser resurfacing, and Erbium laser peels. This approach is particularly effective in addressing various facial concerns such as hyperpigmentation, fine wrinkles, sun damage, superficial scars, comedones, enlarged pores, and overall facial rejuvenation.
• When Spongilla spicules are gently massaged into the skin, they function as mechanical agents, effectively separating the epidermal layers and reducing the cohesion of keratinocytes. This process results in increased shedding of the stratum corneum, removal of sebum plugs, and the loosening of keratinocytes, enhancing overall skin health.

Expect flaking or peeling to occur between days 3 and 5, with the extent dependent on the depth of penetration by the aesthetician and the client's current skin condition. Not everyone will experience peeling, which should not be seen as a lack of effectiveness but rather as a sign of accelerated skin regeneration.

Spongilla spicules remain in the skin for up to 48-72 hours without absorption and are eventually shed along with the stratum corneum. This non-invasive procedure is significantly simpler compared to traditional metal microneedles, reducing the risk of infection.

In contrast to chemical and herbal peels, SQT® Spongilla spicules therapy has no side effects and is suitable for all skin types and tones since it utilizes entirely natural ingredients free from skin-damaging acids or harmful substances.

SQT bio Microneedling is poised to outperform most machine-based laser treatments within the next five years, leaving the skin in a healthier state and promoting faster healing than conventional lasers and chemical peels.

SQT effectively addresses a wide range of skin issues, including but 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 balance.

Unlike conventional microneedling, our method doesn't involved skin breakage, or bleeding, resulting in a notably more comfortable session.

You might experience a subtle "pricking" sensation as the mask is gently applied to the skin, similar to the feeling of an exfoliating mask.

In the 24-48 hours following the treatment, the microneedles continue to stimulate collagen production within the skin. It's entirely normal to feel a slight tingling sensation upon contact with the skin.

With reduced trauma to the skin, our method boasts quicker healing times compared to traditional microneedling. Expect a mild pinkish tone within 24 hours post-procedure.Some dryness, mild flaking, and peeling may occur around day 3. Thanks to the microneedles, the skin's renewal cycle is shortened from 28 days to just 7 days, leading to effective rejuvenation in just one week, leaving you with a fresh, revitalized complexion and the desired results.

For optimal and enduring facial results, it is advised to undergo a series of four sessions, spaced two weeks apart. Depending on the specific condition of other body parts, a course of 6 to 8 sessions may be necessary.

Given that the aging process and exposure to daily environmental factors persist, maintenance sessions are essential for long-term benefits. These should be scheduled every 8 to 12 weeks. Additionally, receiving guidance on homecare is crucial for continued success.

When choosing BIO micro-needling over traditional micro-needling, you benefit from a procedure that's not only simpler and quicker but also significantly reduces the risk of infection.
