SQT Bio-Microneedling is an innovative, device-free treatment powered by nature. Instead of traditional metal needles or a microneedling pen, SQT uses natural spongilla spicules to create controlled micro-stimulation in the skin and trigger the skin’s own renewal response.
It is designed for clients who want smoother, brighter, clearer and healthier-looking skin, especially where concerns include dullness, uneven texture, pigmentation, congestion, enlarged pores, acne-prone skin, post-breakout marks, fine lines or early ageing changes.

SQT Bio-Microneedling uses natural spongilla spicules to create millions of natural microchannels in the skin. These microchannels help activate the skin’s renewal response without using a traditional microneedling device.
Millions of natural microchannels help to:
- Accelerate skin cell turnover for a brighter, smoother complexion
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production to improve firmness and elasticity
- Enhance circulation and nutrient delivery for healthier-looking skin
- Support long-term skin regeneration and resilience
- Improve overall skin texture, tone and radiance
Spongilla spicules are rich in naturally occurring minerals and nutrients that penetrate into the skin and encourage cellular renewal from within.
- No traditional metal needles
- No microneedling pen or roller
- Device-free treatment
- Minimal to moderate downtime depending on the option selected
- Suitable for a wide range of skin concerns
- Visible skin renewal may be seen in as little as 5–7 days
- Accelerates skin renewal compared to the usual 28-day skin cycle
Using patented purification technology, SQT helps speed up the skin’s natural renewal cycle to approximately 5–7 days. In one treatment, SQT can create approximately 1–3 million microchannels.
SQT Bio-Microneedling may help improve the appearance of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and acne scarring
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Rough or uneven texture
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Dry, dehydrated or barrier-stressed skin
The goal is healthier, smoother, firmer and more radiant-looking skin.
Most clients describe SQT as prickly, warm or tingly rather than painful. The sensation is different from traditional microneedling because there is no mechanical needling pen.
After treatment, the skin may feel tight, warm, sensitive, dry or textured. Stronger options can involve visible flaking or peeling over the following days.
A skin renewal treatment without traditional needles
SQT is a good option for clients who want a more active treatment than a facial, but who may not want traditional microneedling, laser or a stronger resurfacing treatment.
Free skin consultation
We assess your skin type, sensitivity, pigmentation risk, breakout history, current skincare and downtime tolerance before recommending the right SQT option.
Targeted SQT treatment
Your selected SQT formula is massaged into the skin. The intensity depends on whether your main concern is texture, dullness, ageing, hydration or congestion.
Renewal phase
Your skin may feel prickly, tight or dry while the renewal process takes place. Some options may involve visible flaking for several days.
Course planning
Most clients need multiple sessions for stronger improvement. If you pre-purchase your next SQT treatment upfront, you receive 10% off that additional session.

Most skin concerns need more than one session
One SQT treatment can help refresh the skin, but texture, pigmentation, congestion, acne scarring and ageing concerns usually need a planned course.
For that reason, we recommend pre-purchasing your next treatment upfront if your skin assessment shows you are likely to need multiple sessions. You receive 10% off the additional session when purchased upfront.
One treatment may be suitable when your goal is a fresher appearance, hydration boost or pre-event skin improvement. Hydrating or Anti-Ageing may be better if you want lower downtime.
A course is usually more appropriate for rough texture, enlarged pores, congestion and post-breakout marks. Resurfacing is often the stronger starting point if downtime is acceptable.
Pigmentation requires careful treatment planning. We assess your skin type, pigment pattern and current skincare before recommending SQT or a more suitable alternative.
SQT can be used as part of a broader plan for skin quality, fine lines and firmness. Depending on your concern, it may be combined over time with LED, HIFU, RF skin tightening or other skin treatments.
First treatment + next session
- Resurfacing or Revitalising: $222 first treatment + $333 additional upfront session
- Anti-Ageing or Hydrating: $239.40 first treatment + $359.10 additional upfront session
- Optional LED therapy add-on: $39 per session
Your clinician will recommend whether a second session is appropriate after reviewing your skin.
Add LED therapy for $39
LED therapy can be added at the end of your SQT appointment to support skin comfort and post-treatment recovery.
After SQT, the skin can feel warm, tight, prickly or sensitive. LED therapy is a useful add-on when we want to calm the skin, support the recovery window and finish the appointment with a more comfortable post-treatment experience.
This is optional and will be recommended based on your skin response and treatment type.
- Post-treatment comfort
- Visible redness support
- Skin recovery support
- Clients doing stronger SQT options
- Clients wanting a more complete appointment
LED does not replace proper aftercare. You still need to avoid heat, exfoliation, strong active skincare and sun exposure as advised after your appointment.
What to expect after SQT
Your recovery depends on the SQT option selected and your individual skin response.
Your skin may look pink or flushed and may feel warm, prickly, tight or sensitive. This usually settles gradually.
The skin can feel dry, tight or textured. You may still feel a prickly sensation when touching or cleansing the skin.
For Resurfacing and Revitalising treatments, flaking or peeling may occur. Avoid picking or scrubbing the skin. Let the skin shed naturally.
- Heat, saunas and heavy exercise for the period advised
- Direct sun exposure
- Exfoliants, retinoids and strong active skincare until cleared
- Picking, scrubbing or using abrasive cleansers
- Other strong skin treatments too close to SQT
Who may not be suitable?
SQT may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection, significant skin inflammation, recent strong resurfacing treatment, recent isotretinoin use, uncontrolled skin sensitivity or a history of problematic scarring.
We will assess this properly during your consultation. If SQT is not the best option, we will recommend a safer alternative.
SQT Bio-Microneedling questions
Most clients describe SQT as prickly, warm or tingly rather than painful. Sensitivity varies depending on your skin and which SQT option is used.
You may peel or flake after the stronger Resurfacing and Revitalising options. Anti-Ageing and Hydrating usually have less visible downtime, but individual responses vary.
You should avoid makeup for the period advised after treatment. Your clinician will give you specific aftercare based on the SQT option used and your skin response.
SQT Resurfacing may be suitable for congestion-prone skin, visible texture and post-breakout marks. We need to assess your skin first, especially if you have inflamed breakouts, irritation or are using prescription acne treatments.
Do not book a stronger SQT option too close to an important event if you cannot risk redness, dryness or peeling. If your timing is tight, Hydrating, Anti-Ageing or another lower-downtime treatment may be more appropriate.
Yes, but usually not on the same day as other strong skin treatments. We can plan SQT alongside LED, peels, skin tightening or pigment treatments depending on your goals and timing.
If your concern is texture, pigmentation, acne scarring, congestion, pores or ageing, you will usually need more than one treatment. If you pre-purchase your next SQT session upfront, you receive 10% off that additional session.
Not sure if SQT is the right option?
SQT is one option for skin renewal. Depending on your skin, we may recommend another treatment or combine treatments over time.
