If you’ve ever wanted the results of microneedling without the needles, the discomfort, or the downtime, the Cell Renewal Facial is the treatment you’ve been waiting for. Harnessing the very latest in Korean biotechnology, this is one of the most exciting advances in non-invasive skincare in recent years — and in the hands of Carly Argent, with over 23 years of professional experience, it is performed at the very highest level.
The treatment can also be extended to 90 minutes with the addition of LED light therapy. Red and near-infrared light work in synergy with the microspicules, stimulating the same collagen and elastin-producing pathways to further enhance results, while also calming inflammation, supporting the skin’s natural repair process and improving circulation – which is why this option is associated with decreased downtime.
“Microspicule technology genuinely excites me — the results it delivers, without any of the discomfort or downtime of traditional microneedling, are remarkable. It’s one of those treatments where clients come back after 72 hours genuinely amazed by what their skin is doing. I love it.”
The Cell Renewal Facial is built around Cellstory – a patented eight-step Korean skincare programme featuring Microspear® technology; 50,000 microspicules, nature’s own microscopic needles, derived from freshwater sponges and refined through a meticulous 13-step purification process. Each microspicule is coated with a potent blend of growth factors, plant stem cells, amino acids and botanical calming extracts.
When gently massaged into the skin, these remarkable structures create thousands of invisible microchannels, driving these precious active ingredients deep into the epidermis where they can truly transform. Unlike traditional microneedling, Cellstory does not puncture the skin – instead, it works with the skin’s own natural healing and regenerative response, stimulating collagen and elastin production from within.
Results continue to develop for up to 72 hours after treatment, as the skin naturally renews and refines itself, so the glow just keeps building long after you leave the treatment room.
The Cell Renewal Facial is suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin, and can effectively address:
· Fine lines and wrinkles
· Loss of firmness and elasticity
· Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
· Rough or congested texture
· Active acne and post-acne scarring
· Dullness and lack of radiance
· Enlarged pores
The Cell Renewal Facial is suitable for all ages and all Fitzpatrick skin types. It is particularly well-suited to those who want clinically meaningful results but are not ready for or unable to undergo traditional microneedling or more invasive treatments.
Following your treatment, the skin may appear flushed for up to 24 hours, and you may notice a gentle prickling sensation for up to 72 hours as the microspicules naturally shed and the skin renews itself. This is entirely normal and a reassuring sign that the treatment is working. For optimal results, we recommend an initial course of four weekly treatments followed by monthly maintenance sessions.
Korean skincare at a cellular level. Cellstory’s patented Microspear® technology, gently stimulates your skins renewal process from within, revealing fresher, brighter skin without a single needle.

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.
Adding LED light therapy to extend the treatment to 90 minutes further enhances results and helps decrease downtime. It works in synergy with the microspicules, stimulating the same collagen and elastin-producing pathways, while also calming inflammation, supporting the skin’s natural repair process and improving circulation.
