The SQT approach
A different route to skin renewal.
SQT Bio-Microneedling uses microscopic sponge spicules rather than a traditional microneedling device.

The treatment science
Microscopic spicules, professionally applied.
Sponge spicules are naturally occurring microscopic structures used within the professional SQT treatment protocol. They are not the same as metal microneedles, and the experience, recovery and treatment planning are different from device-based microneedling.

Common questions
SQT Bio-Microneedling FAQs.
Suitability, expected recovery and course planning will be confirmed during consultation.
Is SQT the same as traditional microneedling?
No. SQT uses sponge spicules within a professional topical protocol rather than a motorised or manual metal-needle device.
What does the treatment feel like?
Clients may experience a prickling or tingling sensation during and after treatment. Intensity varies with the protocol and individual skin response.
Will my skin peel?
Visible dryness or peeling can occur as part of the renewal process. Your therapist will explain what to expect and how to care for the skin.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on your concerns, skin response and chosen protocol. Your therapist will recommend a personalised course where appropriate.
