Spongilla Lacustris, a freshwater sponge from Europe, contains structural spicules made of calcium carbonate, silica, and chitin.

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.

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 chemical peeling and herbal peeling, SQT spongilla spicules therapy has NO SIDE EFFECTS, is suitable for all skin types and Fitzpatrick's, because the ingredients are all natural and do not contain acids there is no dop in PH which can cause burns that damage the skin.

It is all dependent upon skincare goals and your baseline. On average a series of 3 is recommended every 2-4 weeks duration gap is dependent upon the treatment done and the technicians pressure.

We cant stop aging so a booster treatment is recommended quarterly once SKINCARE goals are achieved.

Please consult with your SQT provider for a more accurate treatment plan.

The SQT treatment will feel like an exfoliation scrub which gets more intense throughout the treatment, the exfoliation 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.

We do not advise SQT treatments to be combined with any other treatments apart from LED Photorejuvenation during the same treatment. SQT series is amazing post Morpehus8 and other RF microneedling series to enhance results.
