How the technique works
SQT Biomicroneedling Resurfacing combines controlled microneedling-style resurfacing with bio-resurfacing principles to encourage skin renewal. The esthetician creates precise micro-channels to improve topical absorption and support natural repair pathways, allowing targeted work on texture, dullness, and uneven tone. Treatment settings and approach are chosen during consultation to balance comfort and visible refinement.
Results emerge gradually as the skin responds and repairs; many clients notice smoother texture and a fresher glow in days, with ongoing improvement over weeks. Outcomes depend on baseline skin condition, consistent aftercare, and external factors such as sun exposure and seasonal timing—each of which the esthetician considers when planning your sessions.
What happens during treatment
On appointment day you'll receive a focused skin assessment to confirm suitability and tailor the SQT approach. The esthetician will cleanse the skin, select an appropriate resurfacing intensity, and proceed while monitoring comfort. The process is delivered in a calm, professional environment designed to feel welcoming and attentive throughout the session.
Clients commonly report a focused but relaxing experience; immediate effects can include temporary redness and a noticeably smoother surface. Because this service sits within the advanced facial category, it is performed as a single-session procedure with aftercare guidance provided to support recovery and gradual refinement over time.
Aftercare and timing considerations
Aftercare focuses on gentle cleansing, avoiding active exfoliants, and strict sun protection. Monterey’s cool coastal climate and frequent morning fog can ease recovery for many clients, but sun exposure still affects healing, so broad-spectrum sunscreen and reduced direct sun are essential. Seasonal timing matters: many local clients choose autumn and winter months to minimize UV-related risks.
This treatment is offered as a single-session advanced facial: Price: $180. Duration: 70 MINUTES. Appointments are available from our Old Monterey location near Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf with convenient access from Highway 1 and Munras Avenue. We’ll recommend scheduling based on your skin concerns and local seasonal considerations.
