The Power of Micro-Spicule Technology
Our Needle Lift Daily Care collection is powered by the breakthrough technology of micro-spicules. Micro-spicules are a natural microscopic needle-like structure derived from sea sponges.
the technology
What are Micro-Spicules?
Micro-spicules are one of the latest innovations in skincare. They are natural microscopic needle-like structures derived from sea sponges.
Micro-spicules provide a gentle microneedling effect which stimulate the regeneration of the skin with very tiny and thin needles (invisible to the naked eye), while filling the pores with active ingredients that go deeper into the skin.
how it works
The Delivery System
The ‘needles’ will create micro-channels (small holes) in the skin to allow for Medi Lift's Golden Needle Complex and other active ingredients to penetrate deeper, thus mimicking the effects of a gentle microneedling treatment. These micro channels stimulate both cellular regeneration, collagen and elastin production. Once the spicules reach the epidermal layer of the skin, the Golden Needle Complex and other active ingredients contained in the micro-spicules are released for maximum efficacy. Users can feel the tingling sensation as the micro-spicules meet the skin and get to work.
Our clinical study* shows that micro-spicules deliver active ingredients deeper and better than creams that don’t contain micro-spicules.

FAQs
Why are needles (micro-spicules) good for skin?
The ‘needles’ will create micro-channels in the skin to allow for active ingredients to penetrate deeper, mimicking the effects of a gentle microneedling treatment. These micro channels stimulate both cellular regeneration and collagen and elastin production and allow for improved absorption of Medi Lift’s Golden Needle Complex – a signature blend of 24K Gold Colloid, five plant-based actives, and other active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, and collagen. Once the spicules reach the epidermal layer of the skin, the active ingredients are released for maximum efficacy.
Will the micro-spicules remain in skin?
No, the micro-spicules/needles will naturally shed with your dead skin cells after 72 hours.
How does it feel?
You may experience a tingling sensation or redness which is normal as the spicules absorb. Your skin will go back to normal after a few minutes. Rinse with cold or lukewarm water if conditions persist or worsen.
When is the best time to use it?
Every morning and night after toners and serums.
Are all products in the Needle Lift Daily Care Collection safe for pregnant women?
We recommend pregnant women consult their doctor for medical advice before using any products.
Are there any existing clinical studies or consumer panel findings?
We have completed a small consumer test on 14 women, after 4 weeks, and an in-vitro study of how the spicules deliver ingredients better than products formulated without spicules.
If used during the day, should you avoid sun exposure?
There are no known risks of sun exposure when using our products.
