If you’ve been doing all the things—cleansing, exfoliating, drinking water, cutting dairy—and you’re still breaking out... I want to introduce you to something different.
It’s called spicule therapy, and it's one of my favorite ways to treat both inflamed and non-inflamed acne. It's gentle, natural, and delivers deep healing where your skin needs it most.
First, What Are Spicules?
Spicules are tiny, needle-like crystals made from marine sponges. They're not scary—promise. When applied to the skin, they create microchannels (like a mini microneedling session!) that:
Boost oxygen and blood flow
Help unclog pores
Allow healing ingredients to go deeper into your skin
You’ll feel a light, sandy, prickly sensation during the treatment—that’s the spicules doing their job. It’s not painful, but it’s definitely working.
How Do Spicules Help With Acne?
Let’s break it down.
💥 Acne bacteria hates oxygen.Spicules increase blood flow, bringing more oxygen to the skin—and that makes it harder for acne-causing bacteria to survive.
💥 They help loosen and release clogged oil.Ever deal with those tiny bumps under the skin that never come to a head? Spicules can help soften and clear those plugs without being aggressive.
💥 They deliver nutrients deep into the skin.Spicules naturally release minerals and healing compounds that support faster recovery and reduce inflammation.
Who Is This Good For?
This treatment is great for:
Teen and adult acne
Non-inflamed acne (tiny bumps and congestion)
Clients who want results without chemical peels
Anyone who’s tried everything and still needs help
It’s also safe for clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, since it doesn’t involve any acids or harsh chemicals.
