At Skin by Cynthia, we are always on the lookout for innovative, natural solutions that align with our holistic approach to skincare. One of the most exciting recent additions to our retail shelves and treatment room is the use of spicules—an incredible, chemical-free ingredient derived from the exoskeleton of marine sea sponges. But what exactly are spicules, and how can they benefit your skin?
What Are Spicules?
Spicules are natural micro-needles extracted from the exoskeleton of sea sponges. When massaged into the skin, these tiny structures create micro-channels that act as a transdermal delivery system. This process enhances the penetration of active ingredients, allowing them to reach deeper layers of the skin for more effective results.
The Benefits of Spicules in Skincare
The use of spicules in skincare treatments offers a host of benefits, making it a versatile and powerful tool in addressing various skin concerns. Here’s how spicules can transform your skin:
Resurfacing and Smoothing: Spicules gently exfoliate the skin, promoting the removal of dead skin cells and revealing a smoother, more even complexion.
Improvement in Hyperpigmentation and Acne Scarring: By creating micro-channels in the skin, spicules help to break down areas of hyperpigmentation and acne scars, leading to a more uniform skin tone over time.
Stimulation of Collagen Production: The micro-needling effect of spicules stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production, leading to firmer, plumper skin with reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
Safe for Weekly At-Home Use: Spicule treatments are gentle enough to be safely used at home on a weekly basis, making it easier to maintain your skin’s health in-between professional treatments.
The Marine Magic Behind Spicules
This marine organism contains a rich polypharmacy, including natural amino acids, flavonoids, minerals, and fatty acids. These components work together to protect the skin against both internal and external stressors, enhancing the skin’s overall health.
This holistic, nature-derived treatment aligns perfectly with our philosophy at Skin by Cynthia. By incorporating spicules into our skincare offerings, we’re able to provide a treatment that not only addresses specific skin concerns but also nurtures the skin with the natural, nourishing ingredients it needs.
What to Expect from a Spicule Treatment
When receiving a spicule treatment or using corrective serums containing spicules, it’s important to know what to expect so you can feel confident and prepared. Explore the new intro to spicules: BioHerb 50 Peel.
Prickling Sensation: A mild prickling sensation is normal during the treatment as the spicules create micro-channels in the skin. This is a sign that the treatment is working effectively.
Redness: It’s common for your skin to appear red immediately after the treatment, and this redness may intensify over the first 24 hours. This is a normal response as your skin begins to heal and rejuvenate.
Peeling and Healing: After the initial prickling sensation subsides, you may notice your skin starting to flake as it begins to shed old, dead cells. This is a normal part of the healing process as your skin renews itself.
These sensations and reactions are temporary and part of the process as your skin transforms, revealing a clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion.
