Korean beauty trends are famous for giving skin that fresh, luminous, “glass skin” glow, and we’ve brought one of the most innovative treatments from Seoul to Scottsdale.
The Green Sea Peel is a skin resurfacing, pigment fading, collagen-stimulating treatment that’s pregnancy-safe, gentle, and highly effective. The efficacy comes from spicules’ tiny, natural microneedles from marine sponges that deliver nutrients deep into your skin while kickstarting your body’s own repair process.
What Are Spicules?
If you’re familiar with microneedling, you already understand the concept of creating microchannels in the skin to trigger collagen production and improve product absorption. Spicules work similarly, but instead of using metal needles, they’re made from microscopic, needle-like structures naturally found in marine sponges.
When massaged into the skin, spicules:
- Create thousands of tiny pathways for active ingredients to penetrate
- Stimulate collagen synthesis for firmer, smoother skin
- Gently exfoliate to reveal a fresher complexion
Compared to traditional microneedling, spicules are ultra-fine and gentle, meaning no topical numbing is needed and downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness and slight flaking for a few days, but no intense peeling.
The Green Sea Peel: Microneedling in a Bottle
Think of the Green Sea Peel as an in-office, professional strength upgrade to trending K-beauty “Reedle Shot” products. It combines the mechanical benefits of spicules with a nutrient-rich infusion to hydrate, brighten, and smooth skin in a single session.
The Magic Blend:
- Hyaluronic Acid: Deep hydration and plumping effect
- Beta-Glucan: Brightens skin and supports a healthy barrier
- Allantoin: Soothes irritation and promotes healing
- Growth Factors: Encourage tissue regeneration and collagen repair
What Does the Green Sea Peel Treat?
This versatile treatment is perfect for:
- Uneven pigmentation: Fades sun spots, redness, and discoloration
- Clogged pores: Deep-cleans and refines pore size
- Dull, tired skin: Restores radiance and glow
- Early signs of aging: Smooths texture and boosts firmness
It’s also pregnancy and breastfeeding-safe, making it an excellent option for those who can’t undergo traditional chemical peels or heat-based treatments.
Spicules vs. Microneedling
Many patients alternate between the two, using microneedling for structural concerns like scarring and the Green Sea Peel for ongoing glow maintenance.
Here’s how they compare:
Microneedling: Best for deeper skin concerns like acne scarring, advanced texture issues, or significant fine lines. Requires numbing and has a slightly longer recovery.
Spicules (Green Sea Peel): Best for pigment, redness, hydration, and gentle collagen stimulation. No numbing required, minimal downtime.
If you’re looking to treat deeper scars or significant texture changes, microneedling may be your best option. If you want to brighten, refresh, and boost collagen without major downtime, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding, the Green Sea Peel is your pick.
