Loved Microneedling? Here’s What We’re Doing Now (And Why It Works)
Same goal: better skin. New ways to get there.
We get it… we loved microneedling too
Microneedling became a favorite for a reason.
It helped improve:
• skin texture
• acne scars
• fine lines
• overall skin quality
It was one of those treatments that made people feel like they were actually doing something for their skin.
So yes — we get why so many of you ask for it.
But skincare keeps evolving
Instead of holding on to one method, we’re always looking for treatments that deliver results in a smarter, more skin-conscious way.
That’s where our current treatments come in.
Not replacements — upgrades in approach.
KRX (Green Sea Peel): Skin renewal from within
KRX works very differently from traditional microneedling.
Instead of needles, it uses marine-based spicules that stimulate the skin and accelerate natural renewal.
What makes it powerful:
• boosts skin turnover
• improves texture and post-acne marks
• helps refine and smooth the skin
It’s especially effective for clients dealing with acne, congestion, and uneven skin tone.
Cellstory (Liquid Microchanneling): A gentler, modern approach
Cellstory takes a more skin-friendly approach.
Instead of mechanical injury, it uses liquid microchanneling technology to stimulate the skin and enhance absorption of active ingredients.
Why clients love it:
• no needles
• minimal downtime
• supports collagen and skin repair
• improves overall skin quality over time
It’s ideal for clients who want results without the intensity.
So… how do they compare?
Microneedling focused on creating controlled injury to trigger repair.
KRX and Cellstory also support skin renewal — just through different mechanisms.
• Microneedling → mechanical stimulation
• KRX → biological stimulation (spicules + renewal)
• Cellstory → delivery + gentle stimulation
Different paths… similar goal: healthier, stronger, better-looking skin.
The honest truth
There’s no single treatment that works for everyone, but there is a right approach for your skin.
At our spa, we focus on treatments that deliver results while being more skin-conscious and modern.
That’s why we work with options like KRX and Cellstory, which allow us to target concerns like texture, acne marks, and overall skin quality in an effective way.
What matters most is choosing the treatment that aligns with:
• your skin condition
• your comfort level
• your long-term goals
Because great skin isn’t about chasing one specific treatment, it’s about using the right tools for your skin, at the right time.
The bottom line
If you loved microneedling, it means you care about real skin improvement.
The good news?
You still have options that support those same goals — just in a more modern way.
