SQT Bio-Microneedling Brabham

Traditional microneedling uses metal needles and a mechanical device to create micro-injuries in the skin. SQT Bio-Microneedling uses natural spongilla spicules, tiny needle-like structures from freshwater sponges, applied by hand massage. This means no bleeding, no anaesthesia, and a lower risk of infection. Both treatments stimulate collagen production, but SQT offers a gentler experience with no device-related discomfort.

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or tingling during the massage phase. No anaesthesia or numbing cream is required. The treatment is well tolerated by most people, including those with sensitive skin. You may feel some warmth and tightness in the hours following your session, which is a normal part of the renewal process.

The number of sessions depends on your specific skin concerns. For general skin rejuvenation and mild concerns like dullness or congestion, 1 to 2 sessions may be sufficient. For acne scarring, pigmentation, or wrinkles, we typically recommend 3 to 4 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. During your consultation at our Brabham clinic, we will create a personalised treatment plan for your goals.

You can expect mild redness for 1 to 2 days, similar to a light sunburn. Between days 2 and 5, your skin will feel tight and begin to peel as old cells are shed and replaced by fresh, healthy skin. By day 7, your skin will look noticeably brighter and smoother. Most clients can return to normal activities the next day, though we recommend avoiding makeup for 24 hours and sun exposure for a week.

Yes. SQT Bio-Microneedling uses 100% natural spongilla spicules with no acids or harsh chemicals. It is suitable for all skin types and colours, including sensitive skin. However, it is not recommended for those with severely thin skin layers or anyone allergic to spongilla. We will assess your skin during consultation to confirm suitability.

An initial glow is often visible within a few days as your skin begins to renew. The most noticeable improvements appear around day 7 when peeling is complete and fresh skin is revealed. Results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production increases. For cumulative results, a series of sessions delivers the most dramatic transformation.

Before your appointment, avoid retinoids, chemical exfoliants, and strong acidic products for at least 2 weeks. After treatment, avoid sun exposure for 7 days, wear SPF 50+ sunscreen, skip makeup for 24 hours, and avoid active skincare ingredients (retinol, AHA, BHA) for at least 7 days. We provide full aftercare instructions at your appointment.

Absolutely. SQT Bio-Microneedling pairs beautifully with LED light therapy to enhance healing, exosomes therapy for accelerated cellular regeneration, and HydraFacial for deep hydration. We often recommend combination protocols for clients with multiple skin concerns. Your clinician will advise on the best treatment plan during your consultation.
