Everything You Need To Know About SQT Bio-Microneedling

October 7, 2024

The newest resurfacing treatment at Gina Studio Estético

By Gladys Lukusa

Resurfacing treatments have been in the skincare world for years but SQT Bio-Microneedling is approaching it in a whole new way. The latest resurfacing treatment attracting attention for its intense peeling effect is surprisingly natural and non-invasive–yet provides astonishing results.

This service achieves an even and radiant complexion through an exfoliating and purifying action. The best part is there is minimal risk without the bleeding associated with traditional microneedling. This innovative formula diminishes the visibility of acne, large pores, scarring, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and uneven texture. Beneath the skin’s surface, it balances oil production and stimulates collagen, drawing out impurities and effectively sloughing away dead skin cells.

How does it work?

At the heart of this innovative treatment lies sponge spicules (small needle-like structures), a pure and natural biological extract. Free from microneedling pens, chemicals and acids, this advanced ingredient is derived from freshwater sponges, finely milled into a powder and blended with a healing, hydrating liquid to create a potent exfoliating mask. Three million microneedles are directly introduced into the dermis layer of the skin through a gentle hand massage. This enhances microcirculation, alleviates capillary blockages, and promotes the natural shedding of aging skin. Within minutes the spicules invigorate skin metabolism and stimulate collagen production. SQT Bio-Microneedling can be performed at two different levels of intensity: 70% and 99%.

As your skin naturally processes the spongilla microneedles, they will be eliminated within 48 to 72 hours. Post-treatment skin becomes red and feels prickly to the touch. Following this transformative facial, expect a natural peel within four days as your skin purges impurities and unveils luminous and clear skin in as little as a week.

To Be Considered

As the sun’s UV rays decline in fall and are lowest in winter, this new treatment is recommended for colder seasons as the skin will be hypersensitive as it heals. Here are a few things to consider:

It is FDA & Health Canada-approved
SQT can only be performed 4 weeks after botox/filler, IPL/fractional and picosecond laser
Bio-microneedling must be postponed while experiencing a herpes outbreak
Cannot be sunburnt or at risk of becoming sunburnt for 4 weeks
Must use SPF 50 for 2 months post-treatment, to prevent UV damage
Cease the use of retinoid, glycolic, and salicylic acids at least 14 days prior

After an SQT treatment, guests will be sent home with a post-treatment guide along with skincare products recommended by our skincare experts. As an introductory offer guests receive 15% Diego Dalla Palma skincare products on the day of their SQT Bio-microneedling Treatment.
