What is SpiculeRX
It is made up of microscopic crystal-like spicules that can only be seen under a microscope. During treatment, 3–5 MILLION of these tiny spicules are worked into the skin at the same time through hand massage. This process helps speed up skin metabolism and stimulates collagen regeneration.
Because they are so small, the spicules can settle into the skin’s pores and reach layers of the skin. This stimulation activates the body’s natural repair response and supports increased skin cell renewal. As the skin heals, the creation of collagen and elastin is encouraged, giving an almost instant plumping and revitalizing effect.
The skin cells regenerate at a much faster rate than with many other collagen-supporting treatments, and results can be noticed immediately after—or within as little as 7 days!
Spicules are microscopic, needle-like structures that gently embed into the epidermis, creating controlled micro-stimulation that continues working in the skin for up to 72 hours. This process accelerates skin renewal, improves texture, and enhances overall skin clarity while remaining non-invasive.
SpiculeRX is ideal for clients seeking visible resurfacing and rejuvenation without traditional microneedling.
What does it treat

Our technique
Every RX Skin Renewal Collection treatment begins with professional dermaplaning to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair, creating a smooth, clean canvas for optimal penetration of active ingredients and enhanced results.
SpiculeRX is then performed using a controlled bio-microneedling approach:
• Skin is prepped and balanced following dermaplaning
• Natural sponge spicules are applied and gently massaged into the skin
• Spicules embed into the epidermis to stimulate cellular turnover and collagen production
• Calming, barrier-supportive finishing products are applied
No needles, no machines, and no aggressive trauma are used — the stimulation comes entirely from the spicules themselves.
What to expect
• Tingling, prickly, or “spicy” sensation during and 12 hours after treatment
• Mild redness possible and typically subsides within 24 hours
• Spicule stimulation continues for up to 72 hours
• Light dryness or flaking may occur
• Skin appears smoother, brighter, and more refined as it renews
Best results are achieved with a series of treatments.

Following SpiculeRX, proper aftercare is essential for results and comfort:
• Do NOT wash the face for at least 12–24 hours
• Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the skin
