During the treatment, you may experience:

Tingling & prickling — As the marine micro-spicules are worked into the skin, you may feel a prickly or needle-like sensation. This is expected and part of how the treatment stimulates the skin.

Warmth or mild heat — Your skin may feel warm during and shortly after application.

 Mild redness — The skin can become temporarily pink or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn.

 A prickly sensation afterward — Some clients notice a “tiny needles” or sand-like feeling when touching the skin. This can continue for several days as the spicules naturally work their way through the skin.

Tightness & sensitivity — As the skin begins its renewal process, you may notice tightness, dryness, or increased sensitivity.

Peeling may follow — Depending on your skin and treatment intensity, you may experience light to more noticeable flaking over the following days. Not everyone will visibly peel, and the amount of peeling does not determine the effectiveness of the treatment.

So your skin may change throughout the week as it heals. Everyone’s response is different—some clients experience visible peeling, while others experience mostly dryness, tightness, or subtle flaking.
