What is Bio-Needling?
Bio-Needling by SQT uses natural micro-spicules derived from freshwater sponges to gently exfoliate the skin and stimulate collagen. These micro-spicules remain in the skin for 48–72 hours, encouraging renewal, clarity and smoother texture.
What does it help with?
This treatment targets dullness, congestion, post-breakout marks, rough texture, uneven tone and stressed or tired skin. It also supports barrier repair and long-term skin health.
Is it the same as microneedling?
No. Bio-Needling does not use needles or devices. Instead, micro-spicules are manually worked into the skin to create a natural, low-downtime resurfacing effect.
Does it hurt?
You may feel a prickly or tingling sensation during and after the treatment. This is normal and indicates the micro-spicules are actively stimulating renewal.
What downtime should I expect?
Expect mild dryness and peeling for 3–5 days as your skin naturally exfoliates and renews.
When will I see results?
Most clients notice brighter,clearer skin within a week. Texture and clarity continue improving as the barrier strengthens.
Is There Any Downtime After The Treatment?
Yes, there is typically some downtime after Dermapen Microneedling. Most individuals experience redness and swelling similar to a mild sunburn immediately after the procedure. This usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Some patients may experience minor peeling or flaking of the skin as it heals, which generally resolves within a week.
How many treatments do I need?
Visible results can occur after one session, but a series of 3–5 treatments spaced a few weeks apart offers the best outcome for texture or post-breakout concerns.
Is Bio-Needling suitable for all skin types?
It suits most skin types, but your clinician will assess suitability, especially if you have active acne, sensitivities or are using strong actives.
