Bio-Spicule Microneedling
A refined resurfacing ritual for clearer, brighter-looking skin.
Bio-spicule microneedling uses ultra-fine mineral “spicules” suspended in a professional gel. When gently worked across the skin, these micro-crystals create temporary micro-channels in the outer layers, encouraging renewal and helping targeted serums absorb more effectively. The result is a smoother feel and a fresher, more even-looking complexion without devices or puncture needles.
 
Who it’s for
Dull, uneven or rough texture
Congestion and “stubborn” build-up on the skin’s surface
Early signs of ageing, such as a lack of glow or fine texture lines
Results vary from person to person; a course is usually recommended for the best outcomes.
 
What to expect
Timing: 30–60 minutes, depending on the area
Sensation: light prickling or tightness for 24–48 hours is common
Appearance: mild redness may occur; most clients resume normal routines the next day with SPF
 
Aftercare 
Use a gentle cleanser and broad-spectrum SPF daily
Avoid heat, steam rooms, heavy workouts and direct sun for 24–48 hours
Pause acids, retinoids and exfoliating scrubs for 3–5 days or until fully settled
Do not pick or rub; let any residual “prickle” subside naturally

Risks and Side Effects
Temporary redness, prickling, dry patches or mild flaking.
Low risk of irritation if active products are used too soon after follow-up aftercare.
Very rare: post-inflammatory pigmentation or breakout; contact us if concerned.
Results vary; multiple sessions are usually needed for the best outcomes.
 
Results timeline 
Day 0–1: redness/tightness; a “prickly” feel is normal.
Days 2–3: sensation settles; skin may feel smoother.
Days 4–7: glow improves as superficial dryness lifts.
Ongoing: best results build over a course + good home care.
 
FAQs
Is this suitable for sensitive skin? Often, yes—with a gentle protocol and strict aftercare; we may patch test first.
Can I wear makeup after? Usually, the next day; keep brushes clean and avoid heavy coverage if skin feels prickly.
Is it safe for darker skin tones? Generally suitable when performed conservatively with irritation-minimising aftercare.
How many sessions will I need? Most clients choose 3–6, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Can I combine with other treatments? Yes, but not on the same day as peels/laser/microneedling. We’ll plan safe spacing.
Will I peel? Some clients notice mild flaking; don’t pick—moisturise and use SPF.
