What’s your take on the spicules shots?
From what I understand, spicules are these microscopic needle like structures (often made from marine sponges or corals) that get embedded (??? As I don’t think so they would be absorbed by our skin. I don’t know for sure!) into the skin to speed up cell turnover and supposedly boost absorption of actives. Sounds innovative…… but I can't help wondering about the long term effects.
Some dermats have pointed out that this could lead to issues like allergic reactions, increased sensitivity, or even chronic dermatitis, especially since it's a foreign substance being pushed into the skin. But this side of the story rarely gets mentioned in the promos or reels.
Personally, it makes me a bit uneasy, but i m open to hearing from others who have tried it. Especially if u have used it regularly for a while, what’s been your experience? Did you see real results? Any side effects?
I m just sharing my thoughts, not trying to sound alarmist, would genuinely love to hear all sides of the conversation, including from anyone with a skincare or derma background!

I haven’t had any negative experiences. I use the 100 daily and do actual microneedling every four weeks.
Watch the video on youtube made by doctorly on this product. They do not recommend it.
I’ve been using it with PDRN and haven’t really seen much of a difference in my skin. I do sort of think people who are concerned about the safety of the product are valid, mostly I’m worried about it migrating to my eyes because my eyes are very sensitive, so I am not planning to repurchase.
the concept is cool, but it makes me a bit uneasy too because i don’t like that there isn’t much research on them. i tried a plumping lip gloss with spicules on just a tiny part of my lip, and it burned sooo much more than any other plumping lip glosses i’ve ever tried that use capsaicin or other irritating ingredients. had to remove it immediately but i could still feel the burn/irritation for a couple hours until i slept it off
