Book NowWhat Is SQT?
The Natural Alternative to Needle Microneedling
SQT Bio-Microneedling is a non-invasive skin-renewal treatment using microscopic sponge spicules to stimulate skin renewal and support collagen production without traditional needles. Different SQT protocols allow the treatment to be selected according to the client's individual skin concerns.
The result is a controlled inflammatory response that accelerates cell turnover, refines pores, fades pigmentation and restores radiance — all with no downtime, no numbing cream and no needles.
Why SQT
Key Benefits
Zero Downtime
Unlike traditional microneedling, SQT requires no numbing cream and no recovery time — you can return to your day immediately.
Deep Skin Renewal
Silica micro-channels penetrate up to 3mm, triggering the skin's natural repair cascade from within.
Collagen & Elastin Boost
Stimulates fibroblast activity to rebuild structural proteins, improving firmness and elasticity over time.
Pore Refinement
Visibly reduces enlarged pores and smooths uneven skin texture after a single session.
Pigmentation & Brightening
Accelerates cell turnover to fade dark spots, sun damage and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Safe for All Skin Tones
Suitable for Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI with no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from heat.

How It Works
01
Consultation & Skin Assessment
We review your skin concerns, medical history and treatment goals to confirm SQT is right for you.
02
Cleanse & Prep
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped. No numbing cream is required — SQT is comfortable without it.
03
SQT Application
The bio-sponge spicule serum is massaged into the skin. Millions of micro-channels form instantly, delivering active ingredients deep into the dermis.
04
Soothing Mask
A calming mask is applied to reduce any initial redness and support the skin's repair response.
05
SPF & Aftercare Advice
We apply SPF and walk you through your home-care routine to maximise and protect your results.

Who It's For
- Enlarged pores and uneven texture

Contraindications
Who Should Avoid

- Recent use of Roaccutane (within 12 months)
- Known allergy to silica or sponge-derived ingredients
- Sunburnt or compromised skin barrier
Recovery
Downtime & Aftercare
One of SQT's greatest advantages is its minimal recovery profile. Most clients experience mild redness and a warm, tingly sensation for 2–4 hours post-treatment — similar to a light sunburn. This settles quickly and you can return to normal activities the same day.
We recommend avoiding active skincare (AHAs, retinoids) and direct sun exposure for 48 hours. SPF 50 is essential. Avoid swimming, saunas and heavy exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.
