How the Spicule Sponge Facial Peel Works
The Spicule Sponge Facial Peel works by introducing millions of tiny natural spicules into the dermis layer of your skin. These spicules act like microscopic needles, creating controlled micro-wounds that activate your skin’s natural healing process. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin while promoting skin cell turnover. Unlike traditional peels, this treatment uses FCR (Fractional Prickle Coral Calcium Regeneration) technology, which harnesses mineral-rich micro-particles to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin, enhancing its natural regeneration cycle.
Natural, Gentle, and Suitable for All Skin Types.
What sets the Spicule Sponge Facial Peel apart is its 100% natural formula, free of chemicals, acids, and artificial additives. Made from purified sea sponge and deep ocean seaweed, this vegan and eco-friendly treatment is designed for all skin types, ensuring no irritation or side effects. Whether you’re looking to address fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or enlarged pores, this peel gently exfoliates dead skin cells while boosting skin metabolism for a fresher, healthier complexion.
What to Expect During Your Treatment.
During your session, 3–5 million tiny spicules are massaged into your skin. You may feel a slight tingling sensation as the spicules create micro-channels, but the process is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime. Over the next 72 hours, your skin will continue to work, shedding impurities and absorbing nutrients, leaving you with a visibly rejuvenated and radiant complexion.

Side Affects

The Spicule Sponge Peel facial, while generally safe, may have some potential side effects. These include: Redness and irritation: After the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or irritated due to the exfoliation process, especially if your skin is sensitive. This should subside within a few hours to a day. Dryness or flakiness: As the treatment exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells, it might cause some dryness or flaking in the following days, which is a natural part of the skin renewal process. Sensitivity: The skin may feel more sensitive to touch or environmental factors like sunlight, wind, or skincare products containing active ingredients. It's important to avoid sun exposure or use a high SPF after the treatment. Breakouts: For some individuals, especially those with acne-prone skin, exfoliation may trigger breakouts as the pores are unclogged. This is typically a temporary reaction. Swelling or bruising: In rare cases, there may be mild swelling or bruising, particularly if the skin is more delicate or if too much pressure was applied during the procedure. Allergic reactions: Although uncommon, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the treatment products, including itching, swelling, or a rash. It's important to follow aftercare instructions and consult with a professional if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
Aftercare

After receiving a Spicule Sponge Peel facial, it's important to follow proper aftercare to ensure the best results and avoid potential side effects. Here are some aftercare guidelines: 1. **Avoid Sun Exposure**: Your skin will be more sensitive after exfoliation, so it's crucial to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours. If you need to go outside, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin. 2. **Hydrate**: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin nourished and prevent dryness or flakiness. Look for products with soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera. 3. **Avoid Harsh Skincare Products**: For 48 hours after the treatment, avoid products with strong active ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, or exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), as these can irritate freshly exfoliated skin. 4. **Don’t Pick or Scrub**: Your skin may begin to flake or peel naturally in the days following the treatment. Avoid picking, scrubbing, or aggressively exfoliating the skin, as this can cause irritation or scarring. 5. **Stay Hydrated**: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out and promote healthy skin regeneration. 6. **Gentle Cleansing**: Use a mild, non-foaming cleanser for a few days after the treatment. Avoid cleansers that contain alcohol or harsh ingredients that can strip your skin of moisture. 7. **Avoid Heat or Sweating**: Avoid hot showers, saunas, or intense physical activity for 24-48 hours to prevent excessive sweating or irritation to the skin. 8. **Be Cautious with Makeup**: If you need to wear makeup, opt for non-comedogenic, gentle formulas. Avoid heavy foundation or products that could clog your pores for a few days after the facial. 9. **Avoid Facials or Other Treatments**: It's recommended to avoid other facial treatments, such as chemical peels or laser treatments, for at least a week following your Spicule Sponge Peel. By following these aftercare steps, you can help your skin heal and maintain its smooth, glowing appearance post-treatment.
Who should avoid dermaplaning?

The Spicule Sponge Peel facial may not be suitable for everyone. Certain individuals should avoid this treatment, including those who: 1. **Have Active Acne**: If you have active breakouts, cystic acne, or inflamed acne, the exfoliation process may irritate your skin further and worsen the condition. 2. **Have Sensitive or Easily Irritated Skin**: People with highly sensitive skin, rosacea, or conditions like eczema or psoriasis may experience excessive irritation or flare-ups after the treatment. 3. **Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding**: While the ingredients used in this facial are generally safe, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing any skin treatments. 4. **Have Open Wounds or Skin Infections**: If you have any open cuts, wounds, or active skin infections, the treatment could cause further irritation or lead to infection. 5. **Have Severe Sunburn**: Sunburned skin is already damaged and inflamed. Exfoliating sunburned skin can worsen irritation, cause more damage, and increase recovery time. 6. **Use Retinoids or Strong Exfoliating Products**: If you're currently using retinoids, prescription-strength exfoliating products, or other aggressive skincare treatments, you may be more prone to irritation or over-exfoliation, so it’s best to avoid the treatment. 7. **Are Allergic to Exfoliating Agents**: If you're allergic to certain exfoliating ingredients (like spicules or any other product used in the peel), it’s best to avoid this treatment or patch test beforehand. 8. **Have an Underlying Skin Condition**: People with certain underlying skin conditions, such as autoimmune diseases that affect the skin, should consult a dermatologist or aesthetic professional before booking this treatment. It's always best to consult with a licensed professional who can assess your skin type and determine if this treatment is right for you.
Do I need to prepare?

Proper preparation for a Spicule Sponge Peel facial can help ensure the best results and minimize any potential irritation. Here are some key preparation tips: 1. **Avoid Strong Exfoliants**: For at least 3-5 days before your treatment, avoid using strong exfoliating products, such as chemical peels, scrubs, or products with retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). This helps prevent over-exfoliation and ensures your skin isn't too sensitive for the treatment. 2. **Skip Waxing or Shaving**: If you plan to wax or shave your face, do so at least 24 hours before the treatment. Waxing or shaving right before the facial could lead to skin irritation or sensitivity. 3. **Hydrate Your Skin**: Start hydrating your skin with a nourishing moisturizer a few days before your treatment. Well-hydrated skin is less likely to become dry or irritated after exfoliation. 4. **Avoid Sun Exposure**: Try to avoid excessive sun exposure for at least 3-5 days before the treatment. If you do go outside, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect your skin from UV damage, as sunburned skin can be more sensitive to the peel. 5. **Avoid Active Ingredients**: In the 3-5 days before the treatment, avoid using any products that contain strong actives like vitamin C, retinol, or exfoliating acids, as these can make the skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation. 6. **Consult Your Practitioner**: If you're using any prescription skincare products or have any skin conditions, it's important to discuss these with your aesthetician before your treatment to ensure the peel is safe for your skin. 7. **Come with Clean Skin**: On the day of the treatment, avoid wearing makeup or heavy skincare products. Come with clean, makeup-free skin so the aesthetician can begin the treatment without any barriers to the skin. 8. **Limit Alcohol Consumption**: It’s advisable to avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your facial, as alcohol can increase skin sensitivity and make you more prone to irritation. By following these preparation steps, you can help your skin be in the best possible condition for a Spicule Sponge Peel facial, ensuring smoother and more glowing results.
