Spicules and Microspear®: how to do the treatment safely at home

Tingling, frequency, combining with other products — what to know before your first spicule treatment.

Spikule i Microspear®: jak bezpiecznie zrobić zabieg w domu

Spicules are microscopic, needle-like structures of natural origin. As you apply them, they gently work on the surface of the skin, so it looks smoother and fresher and active ingredients reach where they are needed. At Adoro Mè you will find them in two forms: in the Lumidor Skin Booster (2,000 ppm spicules) and the Exo Activation creams (10,000 ppm), and in the Miracletox Perfection TOX Ampoule, which contains 10,000 patented Microspear® micro-needles derived from sponges cultivated in fresh water.

Tingling is part of the treatment

A light tingling or gentle prickling after application is a natural effect of this technology — with the TOX ampoule it can last up to 72 hours. Burning, redness that does not fade, a rash or irritation are different: stop using the product and consult a doctor.

How often

One spicule treatment a week, in the evening. The TOX ampoule is used no more than once every 7 days, using the entire contents (2 g) in one go. Do not combine the Skin Booster and the TOX ampoule in the same week — choose one.

Before the treatment

Cleanse your face thoroughly but gently — no rubbing, scrubs or skin massage devices. Do not do the treatment on damaged or irritated skin, or where there are wounds, eczema or dermatitis. Apply the TOX ampoule to the face only — not the neck or décolleté — and use much less pressure around the eyes.

After the treatment

Pat the product in with your fingertips for 2–3 minutes until absorbed, then stop massaging the skin. After the TOX ampoule the manufacturer recommends Perfection Mask and finally Perfection Feel Cream. That evening skip retinol products (e.g. PX Solution), avoid alcohol and smoking, and wash your face gently the next morning. In the following days keep your skin hydrated and always use SPF before going out in the sun.

Where to start

Spicules are best introduced when your skin is calm and used to a daily ritual — after a few weeks of cleansing, toning, serum and cream. If your skin is very sensitive or you have any doubts, talk to a dermatologist or skincare professional first. Ready-made combinations are in the Renewal ritual.
