What Is SQT Bio Microneedling?

SQT stands for Spongilla Spicule Therapy. In just 5 minutes, over 3 million natural siliceous microneedles are introduced directly into the dermis layer through hand massage. These microscopic spicules stimulate your skin’s natural healing response and:

  • Accelerate skin renewal – Shortens the skin renewal cycle from 28 days to just 7 days
  • Stimulate collagen production – Promotes natural collagen and elastin regeneration
  • Improve skin metabolism – Enhances cellular turnover and skin function
  • Deliver deep penetration – Spicules reach the dermis layer for effective treatment
