Bio-microneedling, also known as an algae peel or spicule facial, is a professional skin resurfacing treatment that uses tiny, needle-like structures derived from freshwater sponges.
Unlike traditional microneedling, which uses a device with metal needles, bio-microneedling uses naturally occurring microscopic spicules that are gently worked into the skin.
These spicules create a controlled exfoliating effect, helping encourage skin renewal and improve the appearance of common skin concerns.
The result? Skin that can look smoother, brighter and more refreshed as it recovers.
Every California Contours Bio-Microneedling treatment includes PDRN for an added boost of skin rejuvenation!
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), commonly known as Salmon DNA, is a skincare ingredient derived from purified DNA fragments, typically sourced from salmon. Known for its skin-conditioning properties, PDRN is used to support hydration, recovery, and a healthier-looking complexion.
