Everything You Need To Know About Liquid Microneedling

Unlock radiant, glowing skin with the power of spicules - nature's tiny exfoliating marvels! These microscopic silica needles derived from marine sponges have been used for centuries in Korean skincare for their gentle yet effective resurfacing abilities. Spicule products utilize these fine particles to slough away dull, dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. By creating microscopic punctures, spicules also allow skincare ingredients to penetrate deeper for enhanced absorption and better results. This natural, low-irritation exfoliation method is ideal for fading hyperpigmentation + acne scars, minimizing fine lines, and giving your skin an overall rejuvenated glow. Let me break this ingredient down for you if you are a complete beginner :

How Do Spicule Products Work?

  • Spicule-based products like scrubs or liquid micro-needling serums utilize the very fine spicule particles.

  • When massaged onto the skin, the spicules create microscopic punctures and slough away the outer layer of dead cells

  • This helps resurface the skin, promoting cell turnover and allowing better penetration of skincare ingredients

  • The mild abrasion from spicules also helps stimulate collagen production for a firmer, more youthful complexion

    Keep in mind that these products do not replace an actual micro-needling treatment. In my opinion, these at home solutions are a fantastic way to enhance results from professional treatments, or just overall improve your skin if professional treatments are not in your budget!

Benefits of Using Spicule Products:

  • Gentle yet effective exfoliation to brighten and smooth skin's texture

  • Prolong + enhance your results from microneedling treatments or chemical peels

  • Help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and improve overall radiance

  • Allow skincare products to absorb better into the newly resurfaced skin

  • Stimulate collagen for plumper, more youthful looking skin

  • Safe for most skin types when used properly and not over-exfoliated

Getting Started For Beginners

  • Introduce them slowly, 1-2 times per week to avoid irritation

  • Use these products on CLEAN skin. Double cleansing before is recommended

  • Massage in gently using circular motions, and pressing motions to push spicules into your skin, avoiding the eye area

  • Follow with hydrating serums/moisturizers to nourish newly exposed skin

  • Always use products recommended by an aesthetician or someone in the field to make sure these serums will work with your current products
