◉ Adjustment of Spicule Size and Concentration
Spicules are available in various sizes, and selecting the appropriate size and concentration is essential depending on the product’s purpose, usage environment, and application frequency. UNIS Lab offers spicules in a wide range of sizes, including 100 µm, 200 µm, 270 µm, and 320 µm.
◉ Criteria for Choosing Spicule Size
• Criteria for Choosing Spicule Size
- Deeper Penetration & Stronger Stimulation
Larger spicules (e.g., 270 µm, 320 µm) penetrate deeper into the skin, inducing stronger stimulation, making them suitable for targeted care of specific skin concerns.
- Scalp-Specific Use
320 µm spicules are tailored for scalp care and are effective when formulated into scalp treatment products.
- Gentle Sensation & General Care
Smaller spicules (e.g., 100 µm, 200 µm) offer a gentler feel and are ideal for daily skincare or use on sensitive skin.
• Selection Based on Usage Environment
- Personal Use (Homecare)
Products designed for direct consumer use at home typically feature smaller spicules (e.g., 100 µm, 200 µm) to minimize irritation and enhance ease of use.
- Professional Use (Aesthetic Clinics & Dermatology)
Professionals in clinical or aesthetic settings may selectively use a variety of spicule sizes depending on the client’s skin condition and treatment goals. Larger spicules may be used for more intensive care, backed by expert knowledge and technique.
◉ Importance of Concentration Control
Beyond size, the concentration of spicules within the formulation also significantly influences efficacy and user experience.
• Adjusting Concentration According to Usage Frequency
- Daily-Use Products
For daily use, spicules are typically included at low concentrations to minimize skin stress.
- Products Used Every 3 Days or Weekly
Products with shorter usage cycles may contain slightly higher concentrations than daily-use items.
- Weekly or Professional Care Products
High-concentration spicule formulations are used for intensive treatments or in professional settings to deliver potent effects
• Balancing Efficacy and Sensory Experience
Even spicules of the same size can vary in strength based on concentration—higher amounts may enhance efficacy and stimulation, while lower amounts provide a gentler application. Therefore, it’s crucial to consider spicule size, concentration, and usage frequency together when determining the final product characteristics.
