Sponge spicules are  microneedles extracted from freshwater sponges. These microneedles stimulate the dermis, enhancing skin surface microcirculation and facilitating the delivery of active ingredients to the dermis layer while activating basal skin cells. Visible as powder to the naked eye and as sharp rod crystals under a microscope, these natural microneedles are introduced directly into the dermis layer through hand massage in just 5 minutes, with no bleeding, anesthesia, or skin breakage.
Skin Preparation is a vital step in order to maximize the efficiency of a chemical peel. The amount of preparation is dependent on skin type and condition. Preparation can impact penetration of the peeling agent and the overall efficiency of the peel. Preparation can also decrease the potential to develop post peel complications. Typical preparation products  are used 2 to 4 weeks prior to a chemical peel include:• Retinoids (Retin A, Tazorac, Retinol) and  Bleaching agents such as Hydroquinone, Kojic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Arbutin etc.•

Chemical Peel/Microneedling After Care Instructions
Gently cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, 24 hours after treatment (pigment peel kit #1 or a gentle cleanser of your choice)
Keep your skin moisturized at all times (use beta moisturizer or a moisturizer of your choice )
 Please do not pick or pull your skin at any time after your peel, as it can cause scarring. Your skin will take about 7 to 10 days to completely peel depending on the strength of the peel or treatment you received. Chemical peel on the body, chest, or arms often takes longer (up to 3 weeks). 
∙ Please do not exfoliate using a cleansing brush or any facial scrub or acid based products for 2 weeks; longer if the peel is done on the body. 
∙ Do not use any products that contain AHA, Glycolic, Retin-A, or any acne medication until your skin has finished peeling (usually 7 days, but possibly longer). 
∙ Keep skin well hydrated by drinking at least three 8-ounce glasses of water per day, and moisturizing throughout the day with a good moisturizer (Doll Protector) both day and night. Reapply throughout the day as often as needed. Your skin should never be so dry that it is cracking or sore. 
Refrain from waxing, tanning, or using sunbeds for 3 weeks. 
 Avoid working out and sweating for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours. 
Apply a thin layer of A&D ointment after moisturizing. 
Finally, use SPF 30 or higher (Kiehls Ultra Face Cream SPF 30) consistently throughout the day. REAPPLY, REAPPLY, REAPPLY, for this will limit your skin from burning in the sun (even when it’s cloudy out or when sitting by a window) and will minimize the chances of more sun damage and discoloration. 
***Breakouts after a chemical peel are normal. Peels accelerate your cell turnover, it is normal to have a purging phase when you first start treating the skin. During the beginning of the purging phase you can notice things such as breakouts and areas of pigmentation getting darker.
