Spicule tretman lica – mikrostimulacija kože i bolja apsorpcija aktivnih sastojaka
U profesionalnoj njezi kože sve više pažnje privlače tretmani koji kombinuju stimulaciju kože i ciljanu primjenu aktivnih sastojaka. Jedna od zanimljivijih tehnologija u toj kategoriji su spikule – mikroskopske strukture prirodnog porijekla koje se koriste u savremenim tretmanima lica.
Spicule tretman predstavlja drugačiji pristup njezi kože jer se ne zasniva samo na površinskoj aplikaciji preparata, već na stvaranju privremenih mikrokanala u površinskom sloju kože kroz koje aktivni sastojci mogu efikasnije prodirati.
Šta su spikule?
Spikule su izuzetno sitne, igličaste strukture koje se najčešće dobijaju iz određenih vrsta spužvi.
Zbog svoje mikroskopske veličine ne koriste se kao klasične iglice. Tokom tretmana apliciraju se na kožu posebnom tehnikom, gdje dolaze u kontakt s njenim površinskim slojem.
Jedna od njihovih najzanimljivijih karakteristika jeste upravo sposobnost stvaranja velikog broja sitnih, privremenih kanalića u površinskom sloju kože. Ti mikrokanali omogućavaju bolju apsorpciju aktivnih sastojaka koji se koriste tokom tretmana.
Kako djeluju Spicule?
Tokom aplikacije mikroskopske spikule djeluju na stratum corneum, odnosno površinski zaštitni sloj kože.
Njihova struktura omogućava kontrolisanu mikrostimulaciju kože i privremeno povećanje njene propusnosti. Na taj način pažljivo odabrani serumi i aktivni sastojci mogu efikasnije doći u kontakt s kožom nego kod same površinske aplikacije.
Spicule tretman može biti posebno zanimljiv izbor za osobe koje žele mikrostimulaciju kože, ali ne žele ili iz određenih razloga nisu kandidati za Dermapen/microneedling tretman. Budući da se spikule apliciraju na površinu kože i ne koriste klasične mikroiglice iz aparata.
Istovremeno, sama mikrostimulacija predstavlja dodatni podsticaj prirodnim procesima obnove kože.
Zbog toga se Spicule tretman koristi kada želimo intenzivniji profesionalni pristup teksturi, kvalitetu i izgledu kože.
Spikule i microneedling – dva različita pristupa
Spicule tretman se često poredi s microneedlingom/dermapenom, jer oba tretmana uključuju mikrostimulaciju kože. Ipak, riječ je o dvije različite tehnike.
Kod microneedlinga aparat s precizno definisanim mikroiglicama kontrolisano djeluje na kožu na određenoj dubini.
Kod Spicule tretmana mikroskopske strukture se apliciraju na površinu kože, gdje stvaraju veliki broj sitnih mikrokanala koji pomažu penetraciji aktivnih sastojaka.
Obje metode imaju svoje mjesto u profesionalnoj kozmetologiji, a izbor tretmana zavisi od stanja kože, željenih rezultata i individualnog plana njege.
Kome su namijenjene Spicule?
Spicule se mogu uključiti u profesionalne protokole kada je cilj:
poboljšanje izgleda teksture kože
njega kože s vidljivim porama i nepravilnostima
ujednačeniji i svježiji izgled tena
revitalizacija kože koja djeluje umorno i beživotno
intenzivnija primjena aktivnih sastojaka
podrška prirodnim procesima obnove kože
Prije svakog tretmana važno je procijeniti trenutno stanje kože i odabrati odgovarajući protokol.
Zašto je važno da koža prije tretmana bude čista?
Spicule je najbolje raditi na čistoj i pripremljenoj koži.
Tretman se ne kombinuje u istom terminu s klasičnim dubinskim čišćenjem lica i manuelnim čišćenjem pora.
Ako koža ima veći broj začepljenih pora, komedona ili je potrebno detaljnije čišćenje, preporučujemo da se prvo uradi klasično čišćenje lica.
Spicule se tada planiraju kao naredni tretman, nakon što se koža smiri i bude spremna za intenzivniju mikrostimulaciju i primjenu aktivnih sastojaka.
Na ovaj način svaki tretman ima svoju jasnu funkciju – prvo se koža temeljno očisti kada je to potrebno, a zatim se radi tretman usmjeren na njenu stimulaciju i dalju njegu.
Spikule i mezoterapija
Spikule se, u zavisnosti od stanja kože i cilja tretmana, mogu kombinovati sa mezoterapijom.
Ovakav pristup omogućava da se mikrostimulacija kože poveže s ciljano odabranim aktivnim sastojcima prema potrebama kože.
Vrsta mezoterapijskog koktela i preparata bira se individualno, nakon procjene kože.
Kako koža reaguje na Spicule?
Tokom tretmana može se osjetiti blago do izraženije peckanje ili karakterističan osjećaj sitnih iglica na koži.
Kod nekih osoba taj osjećaj može biti prisutan i određeno vrijeme nakon tretmana, posebno pri dodiru kože.
Intenzitet zavisi od protokola, količine spikula, preparata koji se koristi i individualne osjetljivosti kože.
Zbog toga se jačina i način izvođenja tretmana uvijek prilagođavaju stanju kože.
Njega kože nakon tretmana
Nakon Spicule tretmana važno je pratiti preporuke terapeuta i omogućiti koži period regeneracije.
Preporučuje se nježna kućna njega i redovna zaštita kože od UV zračenja.
Intenzivni pilinzi, retinoidi, kiseline i drugi snažni aktivni sastojci ne bi se trebali uvoditi neposredno nakon tretmana bez preporuke stručne osobe.
Pravilna kućna njega važan je dio svakog profesionalnog protokola i može značajno uticati na kvalitet konačnog rezultata.
Zanimljivost: od spužve do savremene kozmetologije
Posebno zanimljiva činjenica jeste da spikule nisu sintetičke mikroiglice.
Ove mikroskopske strukture prirodnog porijekla najčešće potiču iz određenih vrsta spužvi.
U savremenoj kozmetologiji koriste se upravo zbog svoje specifične strukture i mogućnosti da privremeno povećaju propusnost površinskog sloja kože.
To je jedan od razloga zbog kojih su spikule postale zanimljiva tema u razvoju novih profesionalnih tretmana lica.
Spicule Facial Treatment – Skin Microstimulation and Enhanced Absorption of Active Ingredients
In professional skincare, treatments that combine skin stimulation with the targeted application of active ingredients are attracting increasing attention. One of the more interesting technologies in this category is spicules – microscopic structures of natural origin used in modern facial treatments.
The Spicule treatment offers a different approach to skincare because it is not based solely on the topical application of products. Instead, it creates temporary microchannels in the superficial layer of the skin, allowing active ingredients to penetrate more effectively.
What are spicules?
Spicules are extremely small, needle-like structures most commonly derived from certain types of sponges.
Due to their microscopic size, they are not used like conventional needles. During the treatment, they are applied to the skin using a specific technique, where they interact with the superficial layer of the skin.
One of their most interesting characteristics is their ability to create a large number of tiny, temporary microchannels in the skin’s outer layer. These microchannels can improve the absorption of active ingredients used during the treatment.
How do spicules work?
During application, microscopic spicules act on the stratum corneum, the skin’s outer protective layer.
Their structure enables controlled microstimulation of the skin and temporarily increases its permeability. This allows carefully selected serums and active ingredients to interact with the skin more effectively than with topical application alone.
The Spicule treatment can be a particularly interesting option for clients who want skin microstimulation but do not wish to undergo, or for certain reasons are not suitable candidates for, Dermapen or microneedling treatments. Spicules are applied to the surface of the skin and do not use conventional microneedling needles delivered by a device.
At the same time, the microstimulation itself provides an additional stimulus to the skin’s natural renewal processes.
For this reason, Spicule treatments are used when a more intensive professional approach to skin texture, quality and overall appearance is desired.
Spicules and microneedling – two different approaches
Spicule treatments are often compared with microneedling/Dermapen, as both involve skin microstimulation. However, they are two different techniques.
With microneedling, a device equipped with precisely defined microneedles acts on the skin at a controlled depth.
With Spicule treatments, microscopic structures are applied to the skin surface, where they create numerous tiny microchannels that help improve the penetration of active ingredients.
Both methods have their place in professional cosmetology, and the choice of treatment depends on the condition of the skin, the desired results and the individual skincare plan.
Who are Spicule treatments suitable for?
Spicules can be incorporated into professional skincare protocols when the goal is to:
improve the appearance of skin texture
care for skin with visible pores and irregularities
achieve a fresher and more even-looking complexion
revitalise skin that appears tired and dull
enhance the application of active ingredients
support the skin’s natural renewal processes
Before each treatment, it is important to assess the current condition of the skin and select the appropriate protocol.
Why is it important for the skin to be clean before treatment?
Spicule treatments are best performed on clean and properly prepared skin.
The treatment is not combined in the same appointment with traditional deep cleansing or manual pore extraction.
If the skin has a significant number of clogged pores, comedones or requires more thorough cleansing, we recommend having a classic deep-cleansing facial first.
The Spicule treatment is then scheduled as the next treatment, once the skin has calmed and is ready for more intensive microstimulation and the application of active ingredients.
This way, each treatment has a clearly defined purpose – first, the skin is thoroughly cleansed when necessary, followed by a treatment focused on stimulation and further skin care.
Spicules and mesotherapy
Depending on the condition of the skin and the treatment goal, spicules can also be combined with mesotherapy.
This approach allows skin microstimulation to be combined with carefully selected active ingredients according to the individual needs of the skin.
The type of mesotherapy cocktail and products used is selected individually following a professional skin assessment.
How does the skin react to Spicule treatments?
During the treatment, clients may experience mild to more noticeable tingling or the characteristic sensation of very fine needles on the skin.
For some people, this sensation may remain present for a period of time after the treatment, particularly when the skin is touched.
The intensity depends on the protocol, the amount of spicules used, the products applied and the individual sensitivity of the skin.
For this reason, the intensity and application technique are always adjusted according to the condition of the skin.
Skincare after the treatment
After a Spicule treatment, it is important to follow the therapist’s recommendations and allow the skin an appropriate period of recovery.
Gentle home care and regular UV protection are recommended.
Intensive exfoliants, retinoids, acids and other strong active ingredients should not be introduced immediately after the treatment unless recommended by a skincare professional.
Proper home care is an important part of every professional treatment protocol and can have a significant impact on the quality of the final result.
Interesting fact: from sponges to modern cosmetology
One particularly interesting fact about spicules is that they are not synthetic microneedles.
These microscopic structures of natural origin are most commonly derived from certain types of sponges.
In modern cosmetology, they are used because of their unique structure and their ability to temporarily increase the permeability of the skin’s superficial layer.
This is one of the reasons why spicules have become an increasingly interesting topic in the development of modern professional facial treatments.
