SQT Bio-Microneedling is a new generation of skin rejuvenation powered by 100% natural sponge spicules. This non-invasive treatment stimulates the skin’s self-repair process, accelerating collagen renewal and improving absorption of active ingredients. Safe for most skin types, it refines texture, balances tone, and promotes a clearer, brighter complexion.

Derived from freshwater sponge spicules, SQT Bio-Microneedling naturally activates the skin’s wound-healing response. In just minutes, millions of micro-channels are formed to encourage cellular regeneration. This boosts collagen production and enhances the penetration of skincare products by up to 3,000%, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
