Spicules Vs. Micro-needling: Choosing the Right Skin Revitalization Technique

When it comes to getting smoother and younger-looking skin, there are two popular methods: spicules and microneedling. They both aim to make your skin look better, but they work in different ways. Let's look at how they're different to help you decide which one might be best for your clients.

Understanding Spicules:
Spicules are tiny needle-like things that come from sea sponges. They're natural and can help your skin heal and make more collagen. You might find them in skincare products or in professional treatments like the Green Sea Peel.

How Spicules Work:
When you put spicules on your skin, they make tiny holes that let good stuff sink in deeper. This helps boost collagen and make your skin cells renew faster.

The Benefits of Spicules:

Spicules can make your skin feel smoother, reduce lines and wrinkles, make it more elastic, and give you a fresher look. They can also help other good stuff like vitamins and antioxidants get into your skin. Plus, they're safe for pregnant people and for all skin types.

Exploring Microneedling:
Microneedling is like a tiny roller with lots of small needles on it. It pokes tiny holes in your skin to help it heal and make more collagen.

How Microneedling Works:
During microneedling, the little needles make tiny holes that make your skin release things that help it heal and make more collagen. This also helps your skin soak up skincare products better.

The Benefits of Microneedling:
Microneedling can make your skin smoother, even out its tone, reduce scars and marks, and fight signs of aging. It also helps skincare products work better.

Key Differences:
How They're Made:
Spicules come from sea sponges, while microneedling uses a special tool with tiny needles.

How They Work:
Spicules make holes to let good stuff in, while microneedling makes tiny holes to help your skin heal and make more collagen.

Where You Find Them:In my studio, I offer spicules treatments. You can find spicules in skincare products or get them in professional treatments like the ones I provide. On the other hand, microneedling requires a special tool to perform the treatment. Based on my experience, I've found that spicules are far less painful than microneedling and can yield more noticeable results with just one treatment. Therefore, if you're unable to undergo microneedling or find it uncomfortable, spicules can be an excellent alternative for your skincare needs.
