Two spicule peels. Real skin. Real, gradual progress.

This client came to me with concerns about recurring breakouts, post-acne pigmentation and uneven texture.

After two spicule treatments, we can see:

• visible fading of some post-acne marks
• a more even-looking skin tone
• a calmer overall complexion
• early improvement in the appearance of texture

There are still active areas—and I think that’s important to show.

Skin doesn’t change in a perfectly straight line. New breakouts can appear while older marks are fading, and deeper textural scarring takes time. The goal isn’t to promise perfect skin after one or two appointments. It’s to create steady, visible improvement with a treatment plan that makes sense for the person’s skin.

A spicule peel, sometimes called liquid microneedling, uses microscopic freshwater sponge spicules to create controlled stimulation and support the skin’s natural renewal process.

Results will vary, and suitability should always be determined according to your skin condition, history and goals.

Spicule Peel appointments are currently $100.

If you’re in Toronto and wondering whether this treatment could be suitable for your post-acne marks or uneven texture, DM me the word SPICULE and tell me what you’ve been noticing in your skin.

Not all skin responds to treatment in the same way and skin tone alone doesn’t tell us everything.

The Fitzpatrick Scale is one of the tools professionals use to understand how someone’s skin may respond to sun exposure, inflammation and certain corrective treatments.

Why does this matter?

Because procedures that create heat, exfoliation or controlled inflammation need to be selected and adjusted carefully. This is especially important for skin that may be more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

But the Fitzpatrick Scale is only one part of the consultation. Your current skin condition, sensitivities, medications, treatment history, home care and goals all matter too.

Good treatment planning isn’t about choosing what’s trending. It’s about choosing what makes sense for your skin.

I don’t bring new treatments into my studio lightly.
I research, question, and look for what’s safe for all skin types while still delivering real results — and that’s exactly what liquid microneedling with freshwater sponge spicules can do.

👀The results speak for themselves… and this is after one treatment.

This carousel highlights a next- generation treatment that is designed to stimulate cellular renewal, improve texture, improve hyperpigmentation and address acne scarring — including box scars and ice pick scars — in a controlled, skin-safe way.

🧬 Spicules are microscopic structures derived from freshwater sponges that pe*****te the epidermis and create thousands of micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates cell turnover, supports collagen activity, and enhances skin regeneration without mechanical needles or aggressive trauma.

What you’re seeing here is real skin, real texture, and real progress:
• visible refinement after one treatment
• progressive improvement with additional sessions
• expected post-treatment responses such as redness and swelling

📌This treatment is suitable for all skin types and winter is the ideal time to focus on corrective skin work while supporting long-term skin health.

Thank you 2025,

This year asked a lot of me — patience, courage, and trust in myself.

I learned that growth doesn’t always look loud or fast.

Sometimes it looks like showing up, even when you’re unsure.

Grateful for the lessons, the people and the quiet wins.

Here’s to laughing more, choosing myself, and building a life that feels honest.

Hello, new year ✨ 2026

Let’s talk real skin. Not filters. Not perfection.
Just the things you actually see in the mirror.

🤍At Vela Skin, I commonly work with:
• Congestion and breakouts
• Post-acne marks and uneven tone
• Dullness and “tired” skin
• Dehydration and tightness
• Fine lines and texture

Your skin isn’t a problem to be fixed – it’s something to understand. Every treatment starts with a conversation, a proper look at your skin, and a plan that respects your lifestyle and tolerance.

🫧If you see your skin in any of these slides, DM me “SKIN” and tell me your top concern, or tap the link in my bio to book a consultation facial.

Vela Skin is built on a simple idea: your skin deserves to be treated with intention, not trends. ✨

🤍 Brows: Soft, healed, and timeless. Ombre powder brows that respect your natural structure and lifestyle – never harsh, never blocky.

🤍 Skin: Customized facials, peels, microneedling, and advanced treatments that focus on long-term skin health: barrier first, results always.

🤍 Energy: Calm, minimal, and warm. You’re never rushed, shamed, or made to feel like a “before” photo.

When you walk into Vela Skin, my goal is that you feel cared for from the moment you sit down – and that your results look like you, just a little more luminous.

If this philosophy resonates with you, DM me “PHILOSOPHY” and I’ll send you my favourite first-time treatment recommendations, or tap the link in my bio to explore what’s available.
