Dr Esthè Spicule Peel
Introducing Dr. esthè SPI-CURE and PEEL-N-GLOW, two advanced protocols powered by microscopic spicules that transform skin from within. These spicules, derived from freshwater sponges, stimulate the skin to release growth factors, promoting skin renewal and optimal skin health.
Designed to support skin regeneration, epidermal resurfacing, collagen production, and visible rejuvenation, these targeted solutions are backed by science.
What are Spicules?
At the heart of Dr Esthé's advanced treatments are spicules - microscopic, needle-like structures derived from freshwater microsponges. Naturally rich in protein, minerals, and bioavailable silica, these spicules are meticulously purified to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Once applied, they gently stimulate the skin, encouraging natural cell turnover and enhancing the absorption of active ingredients. This unique approach supports healthier renewal from within, helping to refine pores, smooth texture, even tone, and strengthen the skin’s resilience—delivering the professional results Dr. esthé is known for.
Dr Spi-Cure - Skin Rejuvenation
DR SPI-CURE treatment is designed for those seeking powerful yet refined skin rejuvenation. Using 1 million purified freshwater spicules, this treatment gently stimulates the skin’s renewal cycle while delivering a specialised blend of peptides, niacinamide, and the brand’s unique Skin Derma Rejuven Complex.
The result is a visible softening of fine lines, improved elasticity, and a firmer, revitalised complexion. With minimal downtime, DR SPI-CURE offers professional-grade renewal for anyone looking to restore youthful vibrancy and confidence in their skin.
Peel n Glow - Anti-Acne & Brightening

The Korean Spicules treatment works by stimulating the skin’s natural renewal process making it suitable for most skin types and ages. There are two specialised treatment options available:
DR SPI-CURE is best for clients looking to address signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and uneven tone - making it a great choice for those wanting firming, rejuvenation, and long-term skin health.
PEEL-N-GLOW is ideal for anyone wanting instant radiance or targeted correction. It can be tailored to focus on brightening pigmentation and dull skin, or on clarifying congestion and calming acne and inflammation. It is especially beneficial for clients with breakouts, uneven tone, or lacklustre skin.
Your therapist will always assess your skin to ensure the treatment is right for you and which option is best for your individual skin goals.

During your Korean Spicules treatment, your therapist will begin with a professional cleanse before applying the spicules to your skin using a specialised technique. You may feel a tingling or prickling sensation as the microscopic spicules create a gentle stimulation within the skin. Many clients describe it as a “needling-like” feeling without the use of actual needles. A soothing and hydrating mask is applied over the spicules while we perform a shoulder, neck and decollatege massage
This prickly sensation may continue for a short while after your treatment, as the spicules remain active in the skin for up to 72 hours, encouraging cellular turnover and boosting absorption of key actives. The result is a visibly refreshed, smoother, and more radiant complexion.
-
Avoid using active skincare (such as retinol, AHA’s or BHA’s) for 2–3 days before your treatment.
Arrive with clean skin, free from heavy makeup or self-tan.
Let your therapist know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any active skin conditions (eczema, rosacea, or open lesions).
-
Avoid exercise, hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 24 hours.
Do not put your face directly under the shower stream.
Avoid active skincare (retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C) for at least 24 hours.
The spicules remain in the skin for up to 3 days. Do not rub or scrub your face during this time.
When applying products, press them gently into the skin rather than rubbing or massaging.
