No, currently micro-needling is not legally allowed in beauty salons in Italy. There is no regulation that includes it among the permitted aesthetic treatments for beauticians. The use of needles, potential bleeding, and penetration beyond the skin surface classify this treatment as aesthetic medicine, which is strictly reserved for doctors. [1] [3]

Italian legislation (Law of January 4, 1990, no.1 and Interministerial Decree of October 15, 2015, no. 206) limits beauticians' activities to superficial, non-invasive treatments performed on the body's surface. Micro-needling, causing micro-lesions, skin penetration, and bleeding, exceeds these limits and can be considered illegal practice of medicine, punishable under article 348 of the Penal Code. [1] [2] [3]

The main legal and professional risks for a beautician performing micro-needling are:

• Criminal risk: illegal practice of the medical profession. [2]
• Civil liability: harm to clients (e.g., infections, scarring, skin complications). [3]
• Administrative sanctions: health and hygiene violations detected by local authorities. [3]
• Insurance exclusion: many professional liability policies do not cover treatments not explicitly allowed by law. [4]

No. Since micro-needling is not recognized by current regulations as an aesthetic treatment, many professional insurance policies do not cover damages resulting from it. In case of complications, the operator risks being personally liable for any compensation claims. [4]

Yes. Research spicules naturally stimulate skin renewal by gently activating skin nociceptors: this harmless stimulus triggers a physiological response that boosts microcirculation, enhances cellular oxygenation, and promotes collagen and elastin production. The results are comparable to those of needle micro-needling but without risks of bleeding, infections, or medical complications.

Research spicules take your beauty center to the next level by offering highly effective treatments with visible results, comparable to micro-needling, but without any medical risks. This allows you to attract a more discerning clientele, focused on results and interested in “premium” treatments with a medical aesthetic vibe. Clients seeking deep skin regeneration, brightness, and firmness, yet wanting to stay in a safe, professional setting, will find the ideal solution in Research spicules. This way, you can stand out, boost your center’s perceived value, and build loyalty with a more qualified clientele.

No. Research spicules are neither medical devices nor invasive tools: they are biotech microstructures shaped like needles (Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate), designed for cosmetic use, safe and compliant with current aesthetic regulations. They create micro-channels in the outermost skin layer, boosting optimal absorption of active ingredients and stimulating gradual, natural regeneration. The result is skin that looks more even, firm, and radiant, with improved cell turnover and enhanced self-repair capacity.
