Finally — a skin solution that’s non-invasive and effective.
Tired of stubborn acne scars, dull skin, or signs of ageing that just won’t budge? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to settle for harsh treatments to see real results.
Whether you’re dealing with scarring, pigmentation, fine lines, or simply want that healthy glow, SQT Bio Microneedling could be the gentle yet powerful solution you’ve been looking for. It’s a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that encourages radiant, youthful skin to go with that gorgeous smile of yours.
In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about SQT Bio Microneedling — and how it can help you love the skin you’re in.
SQT Bio Microneedling is a next-generation skin rejuvenation treatment that taps into the power of nature — using sponge spicules, not machines or metal needles. These microscopic, needle-like structures are extracted from freshwater sponges and gently massaged into the skin to stimulate natural renewal.
Unlike traditional microneedling, which punctures the skin with metal needles, SQT uses a manual technique that delivers active serums from sponge spicules, deep into the skin through millions of tiny micro-channels.
The result? A non-invasive, chemical-free treatment that encourages your skin to regenerate, firm, and glow — naturally.
Think of sponge spicules as nature’s finest micro-sculptors. Each treatment delivers between 3 to 5 million spicules into the skin — creating countless micro-channels that activate collagen and elastin production from within.
These spicules are rich in minerals and nutrients, helping to nourish skin cells while also improving absorption of bioactive serums. This combination deeply hydrates, smooths texture, and improves skin tone — all while avoiding the need for numbing, bleeding, or extended downtime.
Performed in precise quadrants, the treatment is stable, effective, and adaptable to different skin types and concerns from acne scars and pigmentation to fine lines and overall dullness. It’s a holistic and gentle way to unlock your skin’s full potential.
SQT Bio Microneedling offers a long list of benefits for those seeking a more natural, minimally invasive skin treatment. Some of the key advantages include:
It’s a smart choice for those who want visible skin improvements while keeping things gentle and toxin-free.
Wondering how this treatment stacks up against standard microneedling? Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | SQT Bio Microneedling | Traditional Skin Needling |
| Method | Manual massage with sponge spicules | Mechanical device with metal needles |
| Invasiveness | Minimally invasive | Moderately invasive |
| Discomfort | Mild tingling or pricking sensation | May involve numbing cream |
| Downtime | 1–2 days | 3–7 days typical |
| Skin Benefits | Collagen boost, hydration, barrier repair | Collagen induction, resurfacing |
| Ideal For | Sensitive, dry, pigmented, acne-prone skin | Scarring, deep wrinkles, tougher skin types |
SQT Bio Microneedling is ideal for those looking for a more natural, gentler approach to skin rejuvenation with less downtime.
After your SQT treatment, it’s completely normal to experience mild redness, tingling, and sensitivity — especially within the first 12 to 24 hours. These are signs that your skin is responding to the treatment and beginning the natural regeneration process.
You might also notice slight peeling or flaking a few days after, as older skin cells shed to make way for fresh, healthy ones. This is all part of the journey to a smoother, clearer complexion.
To support the healing process and help your skin recover beautifully, here are a few simple aftercare tips:
Following these steps will help your skin recover smoothly and maximise the glow-boosting effects of the treatment.
