A modern treatment room essential

Powerful by nature. Practical by design.

SQT uses microscopic spicules sourced from freshwater sponge material. The hands-on application helps activate skin renewal without a pen, roller or numbing cream—making the protocol easy to integrate into a professional clinic. Clients may notice temporary sensitivity and visible shedding as renewal takes place.

Natural approach

Spicule-based technique with no metal needles, harsh acids or equipment.

Efficient, hands-on service

No device to buy or maintain and no numbing cream — a focused application suited to busy treatment menus.

Versatile protocol

Face and body options for a wide range of texture, tone and clarity concerns, across Fitzpatrick skin types.

Professional pathway

Structured training, certification and ongoing support for approved providers.

The science, in brief

How bio-microneedling works.

Spongilla is a natural freshwater sponge material containing microscopic spicules. During professional application, these uniform structures are worked across the skin surface by trained hands to support a controlled renewal response — no device, metal needles or numbing cream. The full explanation, microscopy and renewal phases are on the Science page.

Research snapshot

Early findings worth exploring.

A 2023 pilot study evaluated skin parameters in women with visible signs of ageing after four weekly biomicroneedling treatments with active ingredients. The authors reported statistically significant changes in several measured parameters.

33.39%

Decrease in dermal echogenicity, associated by the authors with improved hydration.

8.1%

Increase in measured dermal thickness following the four-treatment study protocol.

6%

Decrease in transepidermal water loss, an indicator of skin barrier function.

3.79%

Decrease in skin pH reported over the course of the pilot study.

SQT bio-microneedling treatments

Visible renewal, guided by nature.

SQT treatments use refined spongilla spicules from freshwater sponge material to create a focused renewal response. The hands-on method is designed to deliver a stronger treatment cycle than ordinary microneedling—without a pen, metal needles or numbing cream.

Explore treatment sets Talk to SQT Canada

A professional treatment family for texture, tone, hydration, rejuvenation and recovery goals.

Why it works

A precise material. A purposeful response.

The effectiveness of the protocol begins with the spicules themselves: their natural origin, intact structure and ability to form temporary pathways at the skin surface.

Educational graphic about natural freshwater Spongilla sponge and its microscopic spicules — Natural spongilla spicules
Freshwater sponge material contains microscopic needle-like structures. SQT refines this natural source for controlled professional application.

Microscope comparison between SQT sponge spicules and ordinary cosmetic needles — A different kind of microneedling
Unlike a device that stamps metal needles into skin, SQT spicules are worked across the treatment area by trained hands.

About these figures: purity, micro-channel, 72-hour and session-equivalence statements are SQT brand claims. Individual response, downtime and results vary; a professional consultation is required.

The treatment journey

Four stages of guided renewal.

The protocol moves from professional application to a period of visible skin renewal. Your certified provider selects the treatment set, prepares the skin and guides aftercare.

SQT Revitalizing Beauty and Resurfacing Repair professional sets

Spicules are introduced

A trained provider massages the selected formula evenly across prepared skin.

Worked into the surface

The microscopic spicules are worked into the outer layer of the skin, where they form temporary micro-pathways.

Recovery and aftercare

Over the next several days the skin may feel sensitive or shed lightly. Your provider guides aftercare.

Skin looks refreshed

As the skin settles, the surface can look smoother and more even. Results vary from person to person.

From source to treatment room

Refined from freshwater sponge to precision spicule.

Sponge material is processed into a concentrated cosmetic ingredient, then paired with purpose-built professional formulas and aftercare.

SQT Sponge Spicule Technology

What Sponge Spicules are, and what is known.

SQT Sponge Spicules are microscopic, needle-shaped silica structures refined from freshwater sponge material. Here we separate what independent research shows from what the manufacturer states, so salon professionals can explain them accurately.

Microscope view of uniform, intact SQT Sponge Spicules — **SQT Sponge Spicules under the microscope**Each Sponge Spicule is a microscopic silica structure. Microscopy image supplied by SQT, as shown on the SQT Canada Science page.

Related research

What research shows

Read the research summary

Sponge Spicules act like scattered microneedles. In laboratory and animal studies, sponge spicules created tiny channels in the skin's outer layer and increased how much of a topical product passed into the skin. Most of this work used pig skin as a stand-in for human skin; the authors call for more human data.³
Facial skin pilot study. A small 2023 pilot study of bio-microneedling with active ingredients reported changes in facial skin parameters in women with visible signs of ageing. It did not study the scalp.⁴
Scalp microneedling is a different method. Needle-based scalp microneedling has been studied in medical settings, usually combined with prescription treatments. A 2022 systematic review of 22 studies described the data as relatively low quality.^5,6 These medical studies are not evidence for SQT Sponge Spicules or for a cosmetic scalp service.
No published scalp study of SQT Sponge Spicules was found. At the time of writing, we found no published human clinical study of Sponge Spicules on the scalp.

What the manufacturer states

Read the manufacturer statement

For its skin protocols, SQT describes its Sponge Spicules as worked across the skin by trained hands to form temporary microscopic pathways, with the treatment response continuing after the appointment. These are SQT brand statements.

Scalp-specific product information will be published once verified SQT documentation is available.

Statements in this panel describe the manufacturer's view. They are not independently verified and are not a promise of any result.

Education Established science

Hair & Scalp Science

Every hair grows from a follicle: a small, living structure in the skin. A healthy scalp has around 100,000 of them, each working through its own cycle of growth, rest and shedding.¹

Hair follicle anatomy

Schematic illustration, not to scale. Drawn for SQT Canada from published anatomy descriptions.²

Follicle structures explained

Dermal papilla: A small cluster of specialised cells with its own capillary loop at the base of the follicle. It is considered a key coordinator of hair growth and helps determine the size of the hair.²
Hair matrix: The actively dividing cells in the hair bulb that surround the papilla. They move upward and build the hair fibre.²
Bulge stem cells: A region of the outer follicle, between the muscle attachment and the oil-gland opening, holding stem cells the follicle draws on to begin each new growth phase.²
Blood supply: A capillary loop inside the dermal papilla supplies the base of the follicle.²
Oil gland and root sheaths: The sebaceous gland releases sebum into the follicle; the inner and outer root sheaths surround and guide the growing hair.²

The hair growth cycle

Follicles do not grow hair non-stop. Each one moves through repeating phases of growth, regression, rest and shedding, and neighbouring follicles are at different points at any time.^7,1

Anagen
Growth
2–6 years on the scalp
The follicle actively builds the hair fibre. About 85–90% of scalp follicles are in this phase at any time.¹
Catagen
Transition
2–3 weeks
Growth stops and the lower follicle regresses. Only 1–3% of follicles are in this short phase.¹
Telogen
Rest
About 3 months
The hair rests in place while the follicle prepares to grow again. About 5–10% of scalp follicles are resting.¹
Exogen
Shedding
50–100 hairs a day is normal
The old hair is released, often as a new hair grows beneath it. Shedding is described as a distinct phase of the cycle.^7,1

Keratin production: how a hair fibre forms

The three stages of keratin production

1
Matrix cells divide
In the hair bulb, matrix cells around the dermal papilla divide actively and move upward.²
2
Cells keratinize
As they rise, the cells elongate, fill with keratin, flatten and die, becoming hard, keratinized cells.²
3
The shaft takes shape
The finished hair has a cortex, an outer cuticle of flat overlapping cells and, in thicker hair, a central medulla.²

About 1 cm a month

Scalp hair grows roughly 1 cm per month, so any change in how the lengths look takes many months to show.²

Normal shedding

Losing about 50–100 hairs a day is normal and varies with washing and combing.¹ Sudden or heavy shedding should be assessed by a physician.

Scalp skin matters

The scalp is skin with a very high density of follicles and oil glands. Its oil balance, loose flakes and comfort shape how the scalp and the hair near the roots look and feel.^1,2

Scalp consultation & assessment

Every service starts with a professional assessment.

SQT scalp care is offered only by hairstylists and beauty professionals trained in the SQT method. The consultation sets honest expectations and identifies anyone who should see a physician first.

Consultation and intake
Health questionnaire, goals, hair and scalp history, products in use and recent chemical services.
Scalp assessment
The professional checks the scalp skin for anything that means the service should wait or a referral is needed.
Service plan
A plan focused on the look and feel of the scalp and hair, agreed with the client.
Documentation and review
Each consultation and session is recorded, and comfort and progress are reviewed at every visit.

Application technique and aftercare are taught in SQT professional training.

Concerns addressed (appearance only)

Oily-looking scalp and visible build-up
Loose flakes on the scalp
Dull, tired-looking hair

The science of SQT

Microscopic by nature. Powerful by design.

At the centre of SQT bio-microneedling are spongilla spicules—minute structures refined from freshwater sponge material. These natural “micro-sculptors” are worked across the skin by trained hands to support a concentrated renewal response without a mechanical device.

See the renewal phases Explore certification

From freshwater source to a refined professional spicule formula.

What is Spongilla?

The micro-sculptors behind bio-microneedling.

Freshwater sponges have an internal framework made from tiny needle-like structures called spicules. Once carefully refined for cosmetic use, these fine structures can be applied in a controlled professional protocol across the face or body.

Educational overview of Spongilla as a freshwater sponge with natural needle-like spicules — **A natural source.** Spongilla grows in freshwater environments and contains a distinctive skeletal structure of fine spicules.

SQT microscopy data showing sponge spicules and representative length and diameter measurements — **98% sponge spicules.** The site’s SQT science imagery identifies a highly concentrated, uniform material with representative microscopic dimensions.

Three defining qualities

A formula grounded in its natural material.

SQT’s approach brings the physical structure of refined spicules together with a professional formula and a hands-on application method.

01

Mineral- and nutrient-rich

The natural sponge material is part of SQT’s professional formula, used for a smoother, refreshed-looking skin appearance.

02

98% spicule purity

The purity figure shown in SQT’s own science material reflects a concentrated formula of uniform, unadulterated and intact sponge spicules.

03

Natural & biocompatible

Freshwater-sponge spicules offer a device-free method designed for professional use across all Fitzpatrick skin types and suitable face or body areas.

The SQT difference

A concentrated treatment cycle.

Rather than stamping the skin with metal needles, a certified provider massages the prepared formula over the treatment area. The spicules form temporary microscopic pathways and the renewal response continues after the appointment.

≈ 3–5 sessions

One SQT treatment is described by the brand as comparable to three to five conventional microneedling sessions, based on clinic feedback.

Millions

Millions of temporary micro-channels are created during a focused application measured in minutes.

72 hours

The brand describes a regenerative window lasting up to 72 hours after treatment as skin renewal continues.

About these statements: session equivalence, micro-channel and 72-hour figures are SQT brand claims. Individual response, downtime and results vary. A professional consultation is required.

Treatment journey

Five phases, from application to recovery.

The experience unfolds in stages. Product choice, pressure, timing and aftercare are set by a trained professional for the client’s skin and treatment area.

Illustration of the SQT bio-microneedling delivery pathway through the skin

Prepare

The provider assesses suitability, selects the protocol and cleanses the treatment area.

Introduce

The refined spicule formula is massaged into the skin with controlled hands-on technique.

Micro-pathways

Temporary micro-pathways form in the skin’s outer layer while the selected formula is applied.

Renew

Over the next several days, the skin progresses through visible renewal; sensitivity or shedding may occur.

Recover

Purposeful aftercare supports comfort and barrier recovery as the refreshed surface emerges.

A closer view

Uniform structure matters.

Microscopy shows the intact spicule form used by SQT, while the treatment illustration, supplied by SQT, shows the brand’s own description of the treatment stages.

What Is SQT Bio-Microneedling?

SQT bio-microneedling is a professional, device-free skin-renewal method built around microscopic spicules refined from freshwater sponge material. These naturally occurring structures are applied by hand rather than with a pen or roller.

How the treatment works

A certified provider selects the appropriate set, prepares the skin and massages the combined formula over the treatment area. The spicules create temporary microscopic pathways at the surface and support a concentrated renewal response that continues beyond the appointment.

What makes it different

No metal needles or powered device are required.
Protocols can be selected for texture, clarity, hydration, rejuvenation and suitable body concerns.
Application, recovery guidance and treatment frequency are tailored through professional consultation.

Temporary sensitivity, tightness or visible shedding can be part of the renewal period. Outcomes vary, so suitability and aftercare should always be discussed with a trained SQT provider.

How to Become a Certified SQT Provider in Canada

Adding a new modality begins with more than learning hand movements. A strong certification path should connect the science, consultation process, application technique, contraindications, aftercare and the client experience.

The SQT Canada pathway

Reserve: confirm package details and an available training date with the SQT Canada team.
Learn: study the method, product selection, consultation and client-care fundamentals.
Practise: develop a controlled, consistent hands-on technique with professional guidance.
Launch: introduce the service using treatment products, consultation resources and ongoing support.

The Training & Starter Kit is CAD $2,599.99 + HST, a one-time purchase. Call SQT Canada to confirm current dates, eligibility and package inclusions before purchasing.

SQT Body Clarifying Set for professional body treatments

Clinic growth · 5 minute read

One New Service, Real Revenue: The Body Clarifying Opportunity

Clients often invest in facial treatments while body congestion, rough texture and uneven tone remain underserved. The Body Clarifying protocol gives clinics a focused way to address those conversations with a premium, professional service.

A clear treatment position

The set is designed for concerns such as body acne, congestion, keratosis pilaris, rough texture and dull or uneven-looking tone. Each box contains six professional treatments. Treatment pricing is set by each provider; see the suggested clinic pricing on the Treatments page.

Model the opportunity responsibly

At one $350 treatment per working day, five days a week, a four-week month represents $7,000 in illustrative gross revenue. That is not profit: product costs, taxes, overhead, appointment utilization and other expenses must be deducted, and no earnings are guaranteed.

The strongest business case is not the headline number. It is a well-trained provider offering a clearly explained treatment, setting realistic expectations and earning repeat trust through consultation and aftercare.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Straightforward answers about SQT bio-microneedling, training, ordering, providers and workshops. For anything else, call 416-320-0420.

Treatments & science

What is SQT bio-microneedling?

A professional, device-free skin-renewal method: a trained provider massages a formula of microscopic sponge spicules across the skin to support a concentrated renewal response. The full explanation is on the Science page.

What are sponge spicules?

Spicules are the tiny, needle-like mineral structures that form the internal framework of freshwater sponges such as Spongilla. SQT refines this natural material into a concentrated cosmetic ingredient for controlled professional application. See the Science page for microscopy, measurements and the renewal phases.

What does recovery look like after a treatment?

Temporary sensitivity, tightness and visible shedding can be part of the renewal period over the following days. Your provider selects the protocol, prepares the skin and guides your aftercare, including the Recovery After Care set where appropriate. Suitability and expectations should always be discussed in a professional consultation first.

Are the results figures independently proven?

Some figures on this site — such as session equivalence, micro-channel counts and the 72-hour renewal window — are SQT brand claims, and they are labelled as such. A 2023 pilot study on biomicroneedling with active ingredients reported statistically significant changes in several measured skin parameters; its results are preliminary and may not predict individual outcomes. No treatment outcome is guaranteed.

Training & certification

Is training a subscription or a one-time purchase?

A one-time purchase. Each training package is bought once — there is no annual subscription and no annual renewal fee, and certification is not described as something you renew. Both package prices are plus HST.

What training programmes does SQT Canada offer?

Master the SQT Method — Deliver the Results (C$2,599.99 + HST) is the complete facial-method certification with Fatme B., SQT Master Trainer. 3-in-1 Body Care (C$2,199.00 + HST) is focused body training. SQT Hair & Scalp Professional Training (C$2,199.00 + applicable HST) is a separate programme for hair professionals, applied for with your SQT Canada account. Details for each are on the Training page.

Who can take SQT training?

Training and professional products are for eligible beauty and skincare professionals. Register your interest on the Training page and SQT Canada will confirm your eligibility, available dates and the right pathway for your practice.

How does registration and payment work?

First, apply for training and create your SQT Canada account with your qualification certificate. SQT Canada reviews your eligibility and approves your account. Then log in, choose an available training date on the Training page and pay the full package price plus applicable tax online. Your seat is confirmed only after payment, and you receive a confirmation with your package, date, time, location and receipt. Each session takes up to 6 trainees.

Ordering & the Professional Store

Who can order professional products?

Eligible professionals with an approved SQT Canada account. Register and upload your certificate; once SQT Canada approves your account, log in to order from the Professional Store.

How do I place an order, and how does shipping work?

Log in with your approved professional account, add products to your cart and choose Checkout. Volume discounts are applied automatically in the cart. Shipping within Canada is a flat CAD $29.99 per order, and tax is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address. The payment methods available are shown at checkout. Product prices are in Canadian dollars, before applicable tax.

What if something arrives damaged or I need a return?

Inspect your shipment promptly and contact SQT Canada before sending anything back. Eligibility, non-returnable items and the inspection process are set out in the Refund & Return Policy.

Providers & workshops

How do I become a certified provider and get listed?

Apply on the Become a Provider page. Applications are reviewed by SQT Canada, and a public directory listing is added only after approval and training are confirmed — an application never becomes a listing automatically.

Where are certified providers located?

The current directory lists 52 certified providers in Ontario and Saskatchewan. Search by clinic, city, province or postal code on the Find a Provider page.

When is the next workshop?

No workshop dates are currently scheduled. Register your interest on the Workshops page and SQT Canada will contact you when dates are announced.
