FAQs
Why should I have Bio Spicule Therapy?
Bio Spicule Therapy is a gentle, less invasive alternative to traditional microneedling without the use of acids or heat exfoliating the skin stimulates the production of collagen to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
What does Bio Spicule therapy do for me?
Bio Spicule Therapy improves the skin’s texture and appearance by penetrating the skin’s surface to gently exfoliate and stimulate collagen production.
What skin conditions is Biospicule Therapy suitable for?
Bio Spicule Therapy is suitable for treating hyperpigmentation or age spots, acne and acne scars, uneven skin tones, fine lines and wrinkles and generally refreshing the skins’ appearance.
What is the treatment process?
Your aesthetic practitioner will apply the spicules to cleansed skin as a powder which is massaged in to penetrate the surface of the epidermis to gently exfoliate and stimulate collagen production. They naturally work their way out of the skin over the next 12 to 24 hours and you can go back to your normal routine.
What does it feel like?
Bio Spicule Therapy feels similar to tiny needles being massaged into the skin, a bit like sandpaper. It generally feels uncomfortable rather than painful and over the next couple of days the skin may feel a little prickly when you touch it, but this soon subsides.
What is the downtime?
Very little. Although your skin may feel tender to the touch and be a little red or even peel slightly, downtime is minimal, and the results will be fully apparent after about 7 days.
How many treatments are necessary?
To some extent, this will depend on what result you are trying to achieve but 3 sessions of Bio Spicule therapy around 2 to 3 weeks apart is usually ideal.
