GlycoAla Bio Microneedling
Nature’s own architecture for renewal
GlycoAla offers an innovative approach to microneedling — one that replaces conventional needles with approximately 3 million naturally derived bio-microneedles from freshwater sponge spicules. Developed by a plastic surgeon in Europe and now available at Zohar, this treatment stimulates collagen, enhances cellular turnover, and promotes skin metabolism with notably less discomfort than traditional microneedling.
What Is GlycoAla Bio Microneedling?
GlycoAla uses microscopic sponge spicules — carefully selected for their unique skin-renewing properties — to penetrate the dermal layer without conventional needles. These naturally derived bio-microneedles stimulate collagen and elastin production, promote cellular turnover and skin renewal, enhance skin metabolism for healthier and more resilient tissue, and soften fine lines and uneven texture.
The approach delivers the benefits of microneedling while minimizing discomfort and trauma to the skin. It is a gentler path to the same destination.
