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.

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

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.

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
