What does SQT stand for?

To be energetic, enthusiastic, and determined.

Representing the most perfect and highest class and quality.
t
To rise above and go beyond the ordinary.

SQT is so much more than your average skin care treatment.
It goes to a new height. It rises above the rest. It is a class above its own.
SQT is not what you want, it is what you need.

SQT Biomicroneedling explained

Pure natural biological extracts from Spongilla Sponge Spicules make up the primary ingredient in SQT. No chemicals or acids are in it, so it is far superior to algae and seaweed. It is a tiny, silicious needle that can only be seen with a microscope.

The spicules are extracted from a special freshwater sponge. The sponge is very soft and had to have adapted to its environment. This, in turn, created millions of tiny needles to give it structure and rigidity while protecting itself at the same time from predators. It comprises a particular type of protein that cannot be dissolved by any organic solution. Additionally, it is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for skincare.

More than 3 000 000 (million) natural microneedles penetrate the skin into the dermis without requiring any devices, chemicals, or machinery to do so. This stimulates cell regeneration as well as the healing process. 

This causes tiny microchannels to open, similar to conventional microneedling, but with a much smaller diameter. Conventional Microneedling can create about 200,000 – 500,000 microchannels, while SQT creates several million. Standard Microneedles have a width of about 85 – 250 microns, whereas the SQT Biomicroneedles are only 15–17 microns. 

Due to the size of the spicules, no bleeding is caused as we do not break the skin’s surface. 

The skin renewal cycle is increased from 28 to 7 days as the new skin cells move to the surface to eliminate the old skin cells and embedded microneedles. 

Flaking and peeling can be expected. The spongilla spicules are not absorbed by the skin but are shed within 48-72 hours.

More SQT facts & advantages

  • SQT does not contain chemicals, acids, or additives to alter the skin’s pH.
  • The spicules work inside the skin and not on the skin’s surface, such as with chemical peels or similar.
  • There is no skin breakage. This significantly lowers the risk of infection.
  • No devices or equipment is needed.
  • SQT is fast, convenient, and cost-effective.
  • 1 SQT treatment is equivalent to 3 conventional microneedling sessions.
  • SQT treatments are safe to use on all Fitzpatrick skin types.
  • SQT treatments are safe for pregnant and breastfeeding clients.
  • Superior additional ingredients inside the supporting products assist in skin nourishment, healing, and much more without causing allergies and negative reactions.
  • The SQT kits are aimed at dealing with specific skin concerns. They do, however, all have some properties in common.

Due to the microtrauma and microchannels created by introducing the spongilla spicules into the dermis, all 3 treatment kits will have a positive effect on the following:

  • increased cell turnover
  • increased collagen & elastin stimulation
  • skin tightening
  • breakdown of pre-existing melanin deposits (hyperpigmentation)
  • increased wound healing process
  • increase blood circulation

How does SQT Biomicroneedling compare to conventional Microneedling?

Most of us are aware of what microneedling is and the techniques used. Microneedling is done by inserting several small needles into the skin layers of the skin. This can be achieved by using a machine or a roller. Microneedling has been around for many years and (if done correctly) can achieve amazing results and skin improvements. SQT Biomicroneedling, however, is the next step in the needling evolution!

What can be expected following your SQT treatment at first?

  • Acne/pimple breakout. (All underlying congestion is pushed to the surface.)
  • Pigmentation can seem worse. (All existing pigmentation is pushed to the surface.)
  • Skin peeling and flaking. (The degree of peeling depends on the treatment’s intensity, the client’s skin condition, aftercare, and even the atmospheric moisture level. No two skins are alike and will react differently to different treatments.)
  • “Needles” inside the skin. (We have introduced millions of teeny tiny microscopic needles into the skin. This can be experienced as mild irritation for 2-3 days.)
  • Within the 2-3 day period, the SQT treatment may induce some redness, mild swelling, and itchiness at this time.

Aftercare

  • Please do not touch or wash your face on the day of your SQT treatment. (Day 0)
  • To alleviate sensitivity and itchiness and calm inflammation, spray your skin with the skinsens ProTect nanosilver mist every 30 minutes.
  • Only apply the Recovery Serum (mixed) or Repairing Mask liquid (Revitalizing and resurfacing treatment) or the SQT Firming Rejuvenation Cream (Anti-Aging treatment) in the evening following your SQT treatment. (Day 0)
  • For the following 48 hours (Days 1 & 2), splash your face with lukewarm water (no cleanser) and apply your aftercare serum/cream twice daily in a gentle patting motion.
  • When drying your face, use a clean towel and only pat dry. Do not rub!
  • The following days (Day 3-5), you can start using a mild and gentle cleanser and introduce a mild moisturiser. Please avoid products containing harsh chemicals, fruit acids, retinol, manual exfoliants, alcohol, perfume, etc.
  • Once peeling/flaking starts around Day 3, avoid picking and pulling off the dead skin as this can cause scarring and infection.
  • Avoid complete sun exposure (and sunscreen) for the first 3 days. From Day 3 on, always apply high-quality sunscreen throughout the day. We recommend The Skin Lab SPF50.
  • You can begin using active ingredients from day 7 onward.
