white spicule peel
An advanced resurfacing treatment for moderate to severe acne, nodular acne, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, or atrophic (pitted) scarring concerns.
The White Spicule Peel is a fully customized skin renewal treatment designed to dramatically improve stubborn acne, pigmentation, and acne scarring. Think of it as liquid microneedling—but tailored specifically to your skin. Each peel is freshly formulated during your appointment using targeted Korean skin boosters selected for your unique concerns.
At the heart of the treatment are ultra-pure marine spicules, microscopic needle-like structures derived from hydrolyzed sea sponges. These potent, refined spicules help stimulate skin renewal and encourage healthy cell turnover without damaging the skin barrier. The White Spicule Peel can be customized to focus on calming inflammation, fading pigmentation, improving acne scarring, refining pores, and more—making it a powerful, personalized approach for treating even the most stubborn skin concerns.
Enhanced by the gold standard of LED Phototherapy systems, Dermalux LED delivers optimum photonic energy delivered at the precise peak wavelength into the target chromophore to ensure maximum cell activation with proven results. Their technology is CE certified for acne, psoriasis, wound healing and pain relief (muscular skeletal).
Treatment concludes with continuous cooling to support recovery after the White Spicule Peel and enhance results. Controlled cold exposure creates a mild, therapeutic stress that helps regulate inflammatory pathways and encourages the skin to repair itself more efficiently and resiliently. Essentially, this technology uses cold to calm inflammatory activity, reduce excess heat in the skin, and help regulate melanocyte activity—key factors involved in acne-related inflammation and pigment formation. The cooling also helps minimize post-treatment redness and supports collagen remodeling, while our Lipid Recovery Mask delivers soothing, barrier-supporting ingredients to calm the skin and replenish essential lipids, leaving the complexion stronger, more even, and visibly revitalized.
Please keep in mind that this service is not a traditional massage or spa-like facial. Our primary focus is correction, education, and skin improvement.
