SQT Nourish
Bio Microneedling
A deeply restorative treatment for dry, sensitive, and barrier-damaged skin. Nature’s own microscopic spicules open skin channels, flood the dermis with hydration, rebuild the epidermal barrier, and lock in lasting moisture — without a single metal needle.
The Science
Nourishment at the Deepest Level
SQT Nourish is a repair treatment designed specifically for dry, sensitive, and barrier-damaged skin. Freshwater sponge spicules create 1,500,000 micro-channels in just 5 minutes — opening and repairing skin channels to deliver deep hydration, replenish the oil and dermal matrix, repair the epidermal barrier, and restore the sebaceous membrane.
By stimulating the division of basal cells, SQT Nourish strengthens the basal layer and restores the function of the damaged skin barrier — addressing the root cause of chronic dryness, sensitivity, and compromised skin health, not just the symptoms.

The Process
What Happens During Your Session
A profoundly nourishing treatment that feels gentle on the surface — the real barrier repair and deep hydration unfolds over the 7 days that follow.
Cleanse and Assess
Your skin is gently cleansed and assessed. Suzie selects the optimal Nourish formula tailored to your skin’s hydration levels, barrier condition and sensitivity on the day.
Spicule Application
3,000,000 natural micro-channels are created in just 5 minutes via precise hand massage — no pain, no numbing cream. Channels open immediately, ready to receive deep nourishment.
Deep Nourishment Infused
With channels open, deeply hydrating, barrier-repairing and oil-replenishing actives flood the dermis — where creams and serums applied topically simply cannot reach.
Seal and Restore
A deeply soothing, nourishing mask locks in the treatment and begins the barrier repair process. Redness is minimal and settles within hours. Skin feels immediately calmer.
The 7-Day Reveal
Over 4–7 days, spicules naturally shed and fresh, nourished skin emerges — softer, more supple, visibly plumper, and genuinely more resilient. Day 7 is the reward.
Your Series Plan
Sessions spaced 2 weeks apart, each building on the last.
Sessions 1 & 2 — Hydrate & Calm: barrier begins to repair, redness reduces, skin holds moisture more effectively.
Sessions 3 & 4 — Deep Restore: basal layer strengthens, skin resilience rebuilds, a genuinely healthy nourished complexion holds long term.

Why It Works
Benefits Your Skin Will Actually Feel
Every benefit below is triggered naturally — by your skin’s own biology, not synthetic fillers or surface-level moisture.
Deep Hydration
Delivers moisture directly into the dermis via 3,000,000 micro-channels — replenishing the dermal matrix and restoring skin’s ability to hold water from within.
Barrier Repair
Repairs the epidermal barrier and restores the sebaceous membrane — addressing the root cause of dryness, sensitivity and reactive skin rather than masking the symptoms.
Basal Cell Stimulation
Stimulates the division of basal cells to strengthen the basal layer — rebuilding the skin’s structural foundation and restoring function of a damaged skin barrier.
Oil Balance Restored
Replenishes the skin’s natural oil and dermal matrix — restoring the lipid balance that keeps skin supple, protected and resilient against environmental stressors.
Calming and Soothing
Reduces redness and reactivity by repairing the barrier that allows irritants in. As the barrier strengthens, sensitivity visibly reduces and skin becomes genuinely more comfortable.
Lasting Plumpness
Locks in moisture at the dermal level, producing a visibly plumper, softer, more supple complexion that holds between sessions — not just in the hours after application.
Your Transformation
The 4-Session Journey
Session 1 · Day 1–7
The First Drink
By day 7, skin feels measurably softer and more supple. The immediate calm and comfort most clients feel on the day is just the beginning.
Session 2 · Week 3
Barrier Building
The epidermal barrier begins to visibly repair. Redness reduces, tightness eases and the skin starts holding hydration more effectively between sessions.
Session 3 · Week 5
Visible Restoration
Sensitivity measurably reduces. Skin tone evens, texture smooths and the complexion takes on a genuine, nourished glow that is visible to others.
Session 4 · Week 7
Full Nourishment
Remarkably resilient, soft and radiant skin. A restored barrier that holds — protecting and nourishing from the inside out, session after session.

A Pink Avenue SQT Client Journey
3 sessions of SQT Nourish Bio Microneedling · No needles · No downtime · No harsh chemicals
Dramatically reduced sensitivity, repaired barrier and a soft, luminous complexion that holds — zero needles, zero downtime, three sessions of SQT Nourish at Pink Avenue, Toronto.
SQT vs Traditional Microneedling
Same Depth. None of the Drama.
Traditional microneedling punctures skin with metal needles — the last thing compromised or sensitive skin needs. SQT Nourish achieves the same dermis-level delivery with naturally derived spicules, making it safe for even the most delicate skin types.

After Your Treatment
The 7-Day Care Guide
No Makeup the Day of Treatment
Allow skin to stabilize and rest overnight. The barrier repair process begins immediately. Makeup may be applied the following day if needed.
Gentle Cleansing Only
Do not cleanse the skin on the evening of treatment. For 2–3 days use a mild fragrance-free cleanser. Avoid acids, retinols and active products for 3 weeks.
Keep Skin Hydrated
Use the recommended toner, serum and cream to hydrate the skin regularly during recovery. Drink 8–12 glasses of water per day to support the skin from within.
SPF Every Single Day
Renewing skin is more photosensitive. A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is non-negotiable. Avoid direct sun and tanning for at least 14 days post-treatment.
The Shedding Phase Days 4–7
Light flaking as spicules naturally exit is completely normal. Do not pick, scrub or use mechanical exfoliants. The soft, nourished skin underneath is worth the patience.

Common Questions
Everything You Want to Know
Most clients describe a mild tingling or light pricking sensation — comparable to a gentle exfoliating mask, not needles. SQT Nourish is specifically formulated for sensitive skin and Suzie’s application technique ensures the treatment remains comfortable and calming throughout.
Yes — SQT Nourish is specifically designed for dry, sensitive, and barrier-damaged skin. Unlike metal-needle microneedling, which can further compromise already fragile skin, the natural spicules work gently to open channels and repair the barrier without inflammation, bleeding or breakage.
Minimal. Most clients return to normal activities the same day. Some redness can last up to 12 hours. Light flaking may occur between days 4–7 as spicules naturally exit the skin. By day 7, softer, more nourished skin is the reward.
You will see visible results after just one session. For optimal, lasting barrier repair and deep nourishment, a series of 4 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart is recommended. It may take 2 or more sessions to reach the deeper layers of skin for maximum results.
A skin consultation is strongly recommended prior to treatment. SQT Bio Microneedling consultations with Suzie are complimentary. This ensures the correct Nourish protocol is selected for your skin’s current condition and any contraindications are assessed in advance.
Discontinue retinoids, glycolic acids, salicylic acids and AHAs/BHAs at least 7 days before treatment. Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior. Do not wear makeup on the day. Please advise Suzie of any treatments received in the past 48 hours including waxing, peels, Botox, fillers, laser or microdermabrasion.
Please advise Suzie of any history of herpes or cold sore outbreaks in the treatment area. Not recommended during active herpes outbreaks, open wounds, or following recent strong sun exposure. Postpone treatment if you have had IPL or laser treatments within the past 3 weeks.
