The Cell Renewal Facial is one of the most exciting developments in non-invasive skincare in recent years, combining cutting-edge Korean microspicule biotechnology with deeply personalised skin expertise to deliver clinically meaningful skin rejuvenation without the need for traditional microneedling, discomfort, or prolonged recovery.
Performed exclusively by Carly Argent, who brings over 23 years of professional skin experience, the treatment uses advanced Korean Microspear® technology to stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative response while dramatically enhancing the penetration of active ingredients deep within the skin.
At The Lovely Clinic, the Cell Renewal Facial offers a highly effective approach to improving skin texture, radiance, firmness, congestion, and overall skin quality while keeping the skin calm, balanced, and healthy throughout the process.
Whether your skin feels dull, uneven, congested, tired, reactive, ageing, or lacking glow, the Cell Renewal Facial supports visible skin renewal without needles or invasive downtime.
“Microspicule technology genuinely excites me. The results it delivers, without any of the discomfort or downtime of traditional microneedling, are remarkable. It’s a treatment that amazes people after 72 hours. I love it.”
The Cell Renewal Facial is an advanced Korean skin renewal treatment built around Cellstory’s patented Microspear® technology.
At the heart of the treatment are 50,000 microscopic bio-spicules derived from freshwater sponges and refined through an advanced purification process. These tiny structures create invisible microchannels within the skin, helping deliver active ingredients deeper into the epidermis while stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative response.
Each microspicule is infused with growth factors, amino acids, plant stem cells, and calming botanical extracts designed to support collagen production, skin renewal, and overall skin health.
Unlike traditional microneedling, the Cell Renewal Facial does not puncture or aggressively damage the skin. Instead, it works alongside the skin’s own healing processes to encourage smoother texture, healthier skin function, and gradual visible rejuvenation over time.
At The Lovely Clinic, every Cell Renewal Facial is carefully personalised by Carly according to your skin condition, sensitivity levels, and long-term skin goals.
The foundation of the treatment lies within Cellstory’s advanced Microspear® technology.
During treatment, thousands of microscopic bio-spicules are gently massaged into the skin. These structures create invisible microchannels across the skin’s surface, helping active ingredients penetrate far more effectively than topical skincare alone can.
This process also stimulates the skin’s natural repair response, encouraging increased production of collagen and elastin while supporting overall skin renewal.
Patients often notice the skin continues to improve for up to 72 hours after treatment, as the regenerative process continues to develop beneath the surface.
Each Microspear® is coated in highly concentrated active ingredients chosen to support multiple aspects of skin health simultaneously.
These include growth factors, amino acids, botanical calming extracts, and plant stem cells, all working together to support hydration, barrier repair, collagen stimulation, and overall skin rejuvenation.
By delivering these ingredients deeper into the epidermis, the treatment can achieve noticeably stronger skin renewal without the trauma associated with more invasive procedures.
One of the reasons the Cell Renewal Facial has become so popular is that it works with the skin rather than against it.
Instead of creating visible injury or aggressive peeling, the treatment stimulates controlled regeneration from within while maintaining overall skin integrity.
This allows patients to achieve smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin without the prolonged downtime often associated with more intensive resurfacing procedures.
Because the treatment supports multiple aspects of skin health simultaneously, the Cell Renewal Facial can be adapted to address a wide range of concerns.
We often recommend the treatment for patients looking to improve:
The treatment is particularly popular with patients seeking visible skin rejuvenation without the traditional microneedling or the more aggressive downtime.
One of the biggest advantages of the Cell Renewal Facial is its versatility.
The treatment is suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types and can be adapted according to skin sensitivity, inflammation, hydration levels, congestion, or visible signs of ageing.
It is particularly well-suited to patients who:
Because the treatment remains relatively gentle while still stimulating regeneration, it can often be suitable for patients who may not tolerate stronger resurfacing procedures particularly well.
Most patients notice their skin feels smoother, brighter, and more refined within the first few days following treatment. One of the unique features of the Cell Renewal Facial is that results continue to develop for up to 72 hours afterwards, as the microspicules naturally shed and the skin renewal process continues.
Following treatment, the skin may appear slightly flushed for up to 24 hours, and some patients notice a gentle prickling sensation for several days afterwards. This is entirely normal and a reassuring sign that the treatment is actively stimulating skin regeneration.
Unlike traditional microneedling, there is usually no significant peeling, bleeding, or visible downtime.
For optimal long-term results, Carly will usually recommend an initial course of four weekly treatments followed by monthly maintenance sessions.
The Cell Renewal Facial is suitable year-round and can be adapted to seasonal skin changes, sensitivity levels, stress, travel, hormonal fluctuations, and overall skin health.
A common misconception is that achieving visible skin renewal always requires aggressive treatments or significant downtime. In reality, stimulating controlled regeneration while preserving barrier function can often create healthier, more sustainable long-term results.
Every appointment is personalised by Carly according to how your skin behaves on the day, allowing the treatment to evolve naturally alongside your skin rather than following a rigid protocol.

No. Most patients find the treatment very comfortable. You may notice a mild prickling or tingling sensation during and after treatment as the microspicules begin working within the skin, but this is usually very manageable.
No. Although both treatments stimulate skin renewal and collagen production, the Cell Renewal Facial does not use needles or puncture the skin. Instead, it uses microscopic bio-spicules to encourage regeneration and improve ingredient absorption more gently.
Most patients can return to normal activities immediately afterwards. However, Carly may advise allowing the skin to rest for a short period, depending on your skin sensitivity and treatment intensity.
Yes. The treatment can work extremely well for acne-prone and congested skin because it supports skin renewal, improves texture, and helps reduce congestion while remaining relatively gentle on the skin barrier.
Many patients notice visible improvement after their first treatment. However, the best results are usually achieved through a course of four weekly treatments followed by monthly maintenance sessions to support ongoing collagen production and skin renewal.
