Spicules (Liquid Microneedling)

Microneedling Results, Without the Needles

Stubborn dark spots, rough texture, enlarged pores and acne scars don't always respond to creams or traditional peels. Spicule facials use ultra-fine, natural sea sponge spicules to stimulate collagen and renew your skin from within, with no needles and no injections. Phyllis customizes every treatment for your skin and goals.

Needle-Free Collagen Stimulation

Marine sponge spicules reach deep into the skin where cell renewal begins, signaling your skin to build fresh collagen.

Spicules exfoliate dead skin cells from within, softening rough texture and the look of enlarged pores.

When Creams and Peels Aren't Enough

Texture, Pigmentation and Scarring Without the Needles

"I want to improve my texture and pigmentation but I'm not ready for microneedling or a traditional peel."

You're not alone. Many people want real, visible change in their skin but hesitate at traditional microneedling or stronger peels, whether because of needles, worry about irritation, or because their skin has been sensitive in the past. Meanwhile, serums and creams alone can only do so much.

Spicule therapy, also called liquid microneedling or marine spicule therapy, offers another route. Spicules are ultra-fine, needle-shaped fragments derived from purified marine sponges. They reach deep into the skin where cell regeneration begins, without damaging the skin barrier. Once embedded and absorbed, they stimulate collagen production, speed up cell turnover and exfoliate dead skin cells from within.
