In a world where every reflection beckons a story, skincare transcends mere routine; it’s a testament to self-care, empowerment, and inner glow. As we delve into the realm of transformative beauty, we find ourselves in the presence of Justyna Lapkova, Founder of Miracle Skin, and the visionary force behind a groundbreaking skincare phenomenon.
Prepare to be captivated as she unveils the secrets behind the meticulously crafted formulations using Korean Microspear® technology that have garnered acclaim for their efficacy and transformative results. Miracle Skin embodies a holistic approach, empowering individuals to embrace their unique radiance and reclaim confidence with each application.
Can you explain what Korean microspear technology is and how it differs from other skincare technologies?
Korean Microspear® technology is a revolutionary and patented advancement in global skincare, originating from South Korea. Microspear utilizes extremely tiny (microscopic) spicules found in freshwater sponges. These microneedles are capable of penetrating the skin, without causing any significant pain or discomfort, to deliver the carefully formulated active ingredients directly to the basal layers of the skin in order to support the production of collagen and elastin.
Unlike other invasive and outdated procedures like microneedling or laser treatments, which aggressively disrupt the skin surface leading to downtime and irritation, Microspear® technology offers a more gentle, and more potent, alternative with zero downtime.
What specific benefits does this technology offer compared to traditional methods?
Unlike the older, traditional treatments, such as chemical peels, laser therapy, or microneedling, Microspear® technology causes minimal surface damage. This means that clients can enjoy the benefits of advanced skincare procedures, without the need for a recovery period or the risk of significant side effects like irritation, peeling, or hyperpigmentation.
Microspear® technology is designed to be painless, bloodless and safe for all skin types, and allows for tailored treatments that can address a wide variety of skin concerns, from aging and dryness to acne and hyperpigmentation. It also serves as an ideal option for those who are sensitive to pain or have skin that reacts poorly to traditional treatments.
Microspears® deliver active ingredients directly into the dermis, the skin’s deeper layer, where they can be most effective. This method ensures a higher degree of bioavailability and efficacy for the ingredients compared to traditional topical applications, which often struggle to penetrate beyond the skin’s surface layer.
How does microspear technology enhance the delivery of active ingredients into the skin?
The core of this technology lies in the microspears® themselves. These tiny, microscopic, organic spicules closely resemble tiny needles (hence their name!) and are capable of penetrating the outer layer of the skin in larger concentrations, with smaller “holes”, and more precisely without causing pain. Unlike traditional microneedling techniques, where the depth of penetration is limited to the length of the physical needles, these natural Korean microspears® are designed to reach the basal layer of the epidermis, where active ingredients can have the most significant effect.
Upon application, the microspears® create micro-channels in the skin, serving as direct pathways for active ingredients to bypass the skin’s natural barriers. Active ingredients like growth factors and plant stem cells do not have the metabolic weight to naturally penetrate the skin barrier, making Microspear® technology unique in improving the skin’s absorption rate.
What are the key components in microspear technology, and how are they designed to optimize skincare results?
The foundational components of Microspear® technology are the microscopic needle structures designed to gently penetrate the upper layer of the skin (microneedles). These microneedles are naturally occurring in freshwater sponges, from which they are extracted, purified, and hydrolyzed to further enhance their efficacy. Upon application of these microspears®, they work in the skin for 72 hours and then they organically dissolve. This is a significant reduction in downtime compared to traditional methods with comparable results, such as microneedling, where the expected downtime before next treatment can be as long as 3 weeks!
Are there any clinical studies or research supporting the effectiveness of microspear technology in skincare?
Despite it’s recency as the latest skincare innovation, there are already many clinical studies and research supporting the effectiveness of the Microspear® technology:
Study on Skin Absorption Enhancement with MIRACLETOX TOX Ampoule
A study focused on assessing how effectively the skin can absorb and allow the MIRACLETOX Turnover Unit TOX Ampoule to pass through, using Microspear technology. It showed a significant improvement in both the transmission and absorption. In fact, the transmission increased by 1522% and absorption by 3403% compared to the untreated group, indicating a significantly improved performance of the product in delivering its active ingredients into the skin.

Clinical Study on MIRACLETOX Perfection TOX Ampoule
Similar to the CELLSTORY Plus Meso-Care study, the MIRACLETOX Perfection TOX Ampoule was also subjected to a skin irritation study on 32 subjects, showing low skin reactivity with an average calculated to be 0.02. This demonstrates the product’s gentleness on the skin, implying its safety for sensitive skin types.

Research Paper on The Effect of Micro-Spicule Containing Epidermal Growth Factor on Periocular Wrinkles
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of soluble micro-spicule containing epidermal growth factor (MS-EGF) for treating periocular wrinkles. It involved a randomized controlled split-face study with 20 healthy volunteers. The MS-EGF group showed a statistically significant increase in dermal depth and density compared to the EGF alone group after 4 and 8 weeks, with marked improvement in clinical and 3-dimensional skin imaging. The treatment was well-tolerated, and no significant side effects were noted, suggesting that MS-EGF formulation is an effective and biocompatible advancement in treating periocular wrinkles.

How does microspear technology address common skincare concerns such as hydration, anti-aging, or brightening?
Hydration
Hydrating compounds like hyaluronic acid are encapsulated within the patented formula of the microspears. By delivering hyaluronic acid directly into the basal layer of the skin, Microspear technology ensures that the skin is deeply hydrated for up to 72 hours, improving not only the elasticity, but also significantly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration.
Anti-aging
One of the key benefits of Microspear® technology, for which it has won several accolades in the Korean skincare market, is its ability to effectively stimulate a high level of collagen production. Upon application of the miracleskin.ae TOX ampoules, tens of thousands of microspears penetrate the skin to create micro-channels; this process triggers the skin’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.
Brightening
For concerns like hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, Microspear® technology delivers brightening agents such as niacinamide to break down existing pigment clusters, leading to a significantly more even and visibly radiant complexion.
Can you describe the process of incorporating microspear technology into skincare products and formulations?
As the sought after formula for these non-invasive microneedles is patented by the parent company that developed it, Miracleskin.ae is the sole and exclusive distributor for all products containing these Microspears® within the MENA region.

Are there any potential side effects or considerations to keep in mind when using skincare products with microspear technology?
As with any skincare treatment, especially those that involve a mechanism of action like microspears, there are potential side effects and considerations to keep in mind.
Mild irritation and redness
The penetration of microspears can cause minor irritation, redness, or sensitivity, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin. This effect is temporary and can be further alleviated through the application of our peptide masks, which are designed to soothe, repair, and hydrate the skin. Our peptide masks contain a blend of powerful peptides and calming ingredients that work together to enhance skin recovery, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier, making them an essential complement to your Microspear technology regimen for a smoother, more resilient complexion.
Dryness
Your skin may need time to adjust to the active ingredients being delivered more efficiently than with traditional formulations. During this adjustment period, temporary dryness or flakiness can occur.
Sun protection
Clients should protect their skin from direct sunlight. Microspear technology enhances the delivery of active ingredients into the skin, potentially increasing photosensitivity. This heightened sensitivity means your skin can be more susceptible to damage from UV rays, leading to an increased risk of sunburn and photodamage.
Avoid certain products
Clients should stay away from any active ingredients, including chemical exfoliants, retinols, vitamin C or any harsh scrubs for 72 hours post-treatment.
