Spicule peels (also known as Liquid Microneedling treatments) are an advanced alternative to traditional chemical peels. Instead of acids, they use microscopic spicules derived from natural marine or plant sources to gently stimulate the skin from within. These spicules create tiny micro-channels that encourage cell regeneration, improve circulation, and enhance absorption of nutrients—leaving skin smoother, clearer, and more radiant.

​

Why Glow Studio loves them: Spicule peels deliver incredible results for acne, pigmentation, and texture. Some formulas involve light flaking, while others can produce significant peeling as part of the renewal process. We love them because they provide transformative, long-lasting results while still respecting the skin barrier and encouraging true regeneration.

CELLSTORY
liquid microneedling with peptides + growth factors

At the heart of CellStory is its patented Microspear® technology, developed in Korea as a needle-free alternative to mesotherapy and microneedling. These microscopic spicules, refined from natural marine sources, penetrate the skin and remain active for up to 72 hours, gently stimulating renewal at the basal layer. Unlike harsh exfoliation or traditional needling, Microspear® triggers natural regeneration without damaging the skin barrier—helping smooth fine lines, refine pores, and restore elasticity.

​

To balance this stimulation, CellStory incorporates the Yellow Calming Complex—a blend of five antioxidant-rich yellow plants that soothe the skin, control heat, and minimize redness during renewal. This ensures the treatment feels powerful yet gentle, even for sensitive clients.

​

Each treatment also delivers bioidentical growth factors (EGF, FGF, IGF), peptides, amino acids, and botanical antioxidants. These actives strengthen collagen and elastin, support rapid cell turnover, and fight free radicals that cause premature aging. With added complexes like Oriental Beauty Fruits Newplex (pomegranate, mulberry, broccoli, and more), the skin is deeply nourished and protected as it regenerates.

​

Every treatment also includes a professional 3-day post-care kit to extend and maximize results at home. Paired with LED Light Therapy, CellStory calms redness, enhances repair, and leaves the skin glowing immediately—while maximum results appear within 72 hours.​​

Storyderm Princess Peel
gold-infused spicule resurfacing

The Storyderm Princess Peel is a unique spicule treatment designed to address a wide range of skin concerns including aging, acne, acne scarring, pigmentation, and dullness. Unlike traditional chemical peels, spicules resurface the skin without acids, making them safe for all six Fitzpatrick skin types—without risk of burns, hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation. Even sensitive skin clients can benefit, as the esthetician can adjust pressure during application.

​

What makes the Princess Peel stand out is its infusion of colloidal gold. Encasing each spicule, colloidal gold acts as a potent delivery system, carrying oxygen and nutrients deep into the skin. It also provides powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties, helping to stimulate blood circulation, accelerate cellular renewal, and protect against free radical damage. This synergy creates a noticeable firming, brightening, and regenerating effect while leaving the skin with a radiant “glass skin” glow.

​

Storyderm’s spicules are ethically sourced from freshwater sponges, derived from the hydrolyzed exoskeleton. When massaged into the skin, they act like liquid microneedles, creating pathways for deeper penetration of active ingredients and triggering a regeneration response in the dermis. The sensation feels prickly for 24–48 hours when the skin is touched, and may be followed by mild flushing or microshedding depending on skin condition and application depth.

​

The Princess Peel delivers immediate post-treatment radiance, with skin that feels smoother, clearer, and more luminous—while kickstarting longer-term cellular renewal beneath the surface.

​

Best For:

  • Aging skin (fine lines, early wrinkles, loss of elasticity)

  • Pigmentation & uneven skin tone

  • Acne & post-acne scarring

  • Enlarged pores & congestion

  • Sensitive or reactive skin needing regeneration

​

Storyderm Time Machine Peel Coming Soon
age-reversal spicule resurfacing

The Time Machine Facial works with your skin’s natural renewal cycle to reverse visible signs of aging. Using Storyderm’s advanced bio-spicule technology, the treatment delivers thousands of microscopic stimulating points into the skin, where they remain active for up to 72 hours. This ongoing stimulation accelerates cell turnover, promotes collagen and elastin production, and strengthens overall skin elasticity.

​

In the days following treatment, the skin enters a 5–7 day renewal phase—shedding damaged cells and revealing fresh, healthy layers beneath. The result is skin that looks and feels reset: smoother in texture, brighter in tone, and visibly firmer. Ideal for targeting fine lines, pigmentation, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and dull or tired complexions, the Time Machine Facial restores youthful resilience and radiance.

​
