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

Italian law (Law No. 1 of January 4, 1990, and Interministerial Decree No. 206 of October 15, 2015) limits the beautician's activities to superficial, non-invasive treatments performed on the surface of the human body. Micro-needling, by causing micro-injuries, skin penetration, and bleeding, exceeds these limits and may constitute the illegal practice of medicine, punishable under Article 348 of the Criminal Code. [1] [2] [3]

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

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

No. Since micro-needling is not recognized under current regulations as a cosmetic treatment, many professional insurance policies do not cover damages resulting from its practice. In case of complications, the operator may be personally liable for any claims for compensation. [4]

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

Research spicules let you elevate your beauty salon by offering high-performance treatments with visible results comparable to micro-needling but without any medical risk. This allows you to attract a more demanding clientele—those focused on results and interested in “premium” treatments with an aesthetic medicine vibe. Clients looking for deep skin regeneration, radiance, and firmness who want to stay in a safe, professional setting will find Research spicules the ideal solution. This way, you can stand out, increase your salon's perceived value, and build loyalty among a more qualified customer base.

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

No. Using Research spicules requires no medical certification: they are safe and designed for use by professional beauticians within the legal limits of aesthetics. Our experts will train you and pass on all the skills you need to get the best results.
