Protecting the Skin Barrier During SQT Bio-Microneedling

Frustrated with the aftermath of traditional skincare treatments that leave your skin feeling compromised and sensitive? The disruption of your skin barrier can turn what should be a rejuvenating experience into a series of frustrating problems. Increased sensitivity, dryness, and prolonged recovery times are common issues, often making it feel like the treatment did more harm than good.

SQT Bio-Microneedling offers a groundbreaking approach to skincare that addresses these concerns head-on. By using natural microneedles, known as spicules, SQT Bio-Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin without compromising the barrier. This technique not only ensures deep skin nourishment but also supports the skin barrier throughout the treatment process and increases epidermal thickness by upto 8%. 

What is SQT Bio-Microneedling?

SQT Bio-Microneedling is an innovative treatment that uses spicules—tiny microneedles derived from freshwater sponges—to gently penetrate the skin. Unlike traditional micro needling methods, SQT Bio-Microneedling works from layers beneath and upwards, creating millions of microchannels through precise hand technique. This allows active substances to reach the basal layer of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer, healthier and more youthful skin.

Why is the Skin Barrier Important?

The skin barrier, also known as the stratum corneum, acts as the skin’s first line of defence against environmental aggressors, such as pollutants, pathogens, and UV radiation. It also helps retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and healthy.

When undergoing certain treatments,  the skin barrier can be temporarily disrupted, leading to potential issues such as:

• Increased sensitivity: A compromised barrier can make the skin more sensitive and reactive to external factors.

• Dryness and irritation: The barrier plays a key role in moisture retention, and its disruption can lead to dryness and irritation.

• Increased risk of infection: A weakened barrier may increase the risk of infections and other skin issues.

How SQT Bio-Microneedling Protects the Skin Barrier?

SQT Bio-Microneedling stands out for its approach to maintaining the skin barrier's integrity:

1. Gentle microneedles: The natural spicules used in SQT Bio-Microneedling create microchannels without causing significant damage to the skin barrier. This gentler method minimises disruption and helps preserve the skin's protective layer.

2. Reduced downtime: Compared to other techniques, SQT Bio-Microneedling involves minimal downtime. The mild inflammation typically lasts only 1-2 days, and the skin barrier remains largely intact, leading to a faster recovery.

3. No harsh chemicals: SQT Bio-Microneedling treatment does not use harsh chemicals that could compromise the skin barrier. Instead, it focuses on natural stimulation and nourishment, supporting the skin’s natural healing process.

Post-Treatment Care for Optimal Barrier Protection

To ensure that the skin barrier remains protected and to maximise the benefits of SQT Bio-Microneedling, proper post-treatment care is essential. Here are some key steps to follow:

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Protecting the skin from direct sunlight is crucial for the first three days after treatment. UV exposure can exacerbate sensitivity and hinder the skin’s natural healing process. Using a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen is recommended for continued protection.

• Hydrate and Nourish: Keeping the skin hydrated is vital for maintaining barrier function. Use gentle, hydrating serums to replenish lost moisture and support the skin’s repair processes. Avoid products with irritating ingredients, such as retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), perfumes and alcohol during the recovery period.

• Avoid Exfoliation: Refrain from using exfoliating products or engaging in other aggressive treatments for at least one to two weeks after SQT Bio-Microneedling. Exfoliation can further disrupt the skin barrier and delay recovery.

• Gentle Cleansing: Opt for a mild, non-stripping cleanser to avoid further irritation. Avoid hot water and harsh scrubbing, which can exacerbate sensitivity.

• Follow Professional Advice: Adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional. They will offer tailored advice based on your individual skin type and treatment response.
