HOP+ House of PLLA Volume Boost Spicule Facial Program

Is this suitable for sensitive skin? No, Spicule activation is an active treatment and is not recommended for compromised, actively inflamed, or highly reactive skin. Those with rosacea, eczema, or chronic sensitivity conditions should consult a skincare professional before use. A patch test before first full application is recommended.

What makes this different from a standard spicule product? When the micro spicules open those temporary channels in the skin, the formula immediately floods them with PLLA — the same ingredient used in Sculptra injections — alongside PDRN and a four growth factor complex. Your skin is receiving a concentrated treatment at a depth it cannot access when just applying serums topically. Then the hydrogel mask goes on immediately after. The mask seals everything in to create an environment where those actives keep absorbing. By the time the mask comes off, your skin has been through a full activation and recovery cycle. 

How is this connected to the PLLA Korean Sculpt Facial at Skin Accord? This is the same add -on protocol used at the end of the PLLA Korean Sculpt Facial. When you purchase this kit you are continuing that two phase activation and recovery system at home between your professional appointments. The in room experience adds clinical prep, professional layering, and esthetician expertise. The home kit allows you to maintain and reinforce those results on your own schedule.

What is the tingling sensation and is it normal? Yes, completely normal and expected. The tingling or prickling during the massage phase is the hydrolyzed sponge micro spicules creating temporary superficial micro channels in the skin. This is the intended mechanism of the product. The sensation typically fades during the mask phase. Discontinue if you experience burning, significant swelling, or discomfort beyond normal spicule activation and rinse with cool water.

Why do I need to avoid actives for 72 hours? After spicule activation the skin enters an active remodeling phase. Introducing exfoliating acids, retinoids, or physical scrubs during this window disrupts the repair cascade. Keeping the skin calm and protected for 72 hours allows the bio stimulatory environment initiated by the treatment to complete without interference.

How many treatments are in one kit? Five complete treatments — five 3ml syringes of Volume Boost Spicule Cream and five Volumizing Hydrogel Masks with PDRN. At once weekly use, one kit covers five weeks of maintenance.

Is this cruelty free? Yes, all House of PLLA products are cruelty free. Not tested on animals. Made in Korea.

Hydrolyzed Sponge (Spicules) — Phase I Cream Micro spicules derived from freshwater sponge create temporary superficial micro channels in the skin during massage. This controlled micro stimulation activates the wound repair cascade, signals fibroblast activity, and opens a defined delivery window for the bioactive ingredients in the formula. The tingling sensation during the 7 to 12 minute massage phase is the spicules working.

Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) — Phase I Cream and Phase II Mask The anchor technology of the entire HOP+ House of PLLA line. Present in both phases of this system. PLLA provides cumulative bio stimulatory support for improved skin structure and visible firmness over time. Delivered through the micro channels created by spicule activation, the post stimulation window optimizes conditions for absorption.

Sodium DNA (PDRN) — Phase I Cream and Phase II Mask Polydeoxyribonucleotide derived from salmon DNA. Supports tissue repair signaling and cellular renewal. Present in both the activation cream and the recovery mask — working through the activation window in Phase I and continuing in the recovery environment of Phase II.

4GF Growth Factor Complex (sh-Oligopeptide-1, sh-Oligopeptide-2, sh-Polypeptide-1, sh-Polypeptide-22) — Phase I Cream A four growth factor complex comprising EGF, bFGF, IGF-1, and TGF-β. Delivered through the micro channels created by spicule activation to support cellular renewal signaling and skin resilience.

Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside — Phase I Cream Calming and barrier-stabilizing actives that support skin comfort during and after the spicule activation phase.

Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Trehalose, Betaine — Phase I Cream A high-capacity hydration complex that maintains moisture balance throughout the activation phase.

Royal Jelly Powder — Phase I Cream A nutrient dense conditioning ingredient that supports overall skin quality and a nourished, luminous finish.

Chondrus Crispus and Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum — Phase II Mask Marine and plant derived gelling agents that form the hydrogel matrix of the recovery mask, creating the occlusive seal that enhances ingredient diffusion after activation.

Allantoin — Phase II Mask A soothing active that supports skin comfort and helps maintain a calm, settled skin surface during the recovery phase.

Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — Phase II Mask Antioxidant actives that support skin radiance and protect against visible environmental stress during the recovery window.

This kit contains: 5 syringes (3ml each) of Volume Boost Spicule Cream and 5 Volumizing Hydrogel Masks with PDRN — 5 complete treatments.

Step 1 — Prep Cleanse the skin thoroughly with a gentle, non active cleanser. Pat dry. Follow with a gentle alcohol free toner if desired.

Step 2 — Spicule Activation Apply the full contents of one 3ml syringe of Volume Boost Spicule Cream evenly across the face. Using clean fingertips, gently press and glide outward to distribute the product. Massage continuously for 7 to 12 minutes.

A tingling or prickling sensation is normal and expected during the massage phase. This is the spicules creating temporary micro channels in the skin surface. This sensation may continue into the mask phase. Avoid application on the neck.

Step 3 — Hydrogel Mask Apply the Volumizing Hydrogel Mask with PDRN over the treated area immediately after the massage phase. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. For added comfort, refrigerate the mask before use.

Step 4 — Finish Remove the mask and gently press the remaining essence into the skin. Apply broad spectrum SPF if performing during daytime hours.

Aftercare — 72 hours following each treatment: Cleanse with a gentle non active cleanser only. Use a lightweight moisturizer if needed. Apply broad spectrum SPF daily. Avoid exfoliation, physical scrubbing, and active skincare including acids and retinoids for the full 72 hours. Do not rub or massage the skin aggressively.

Frequency: Once weekly or as directed by your skincare professional. For best results, use consistently across all five treatments before reassessing.

For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a skincare professional or medical provider. Keep out of reach of children.

Do not use on broken, compromised, or actively inflamed skin. Avoid application on the neck. A tingling or prickling sensation during the massage phase and into the mask phase is normal and expected — discontinue immediately if you experience burning, significant swelling, or discomfort beyond normal spicule activation and rinse with cool water.

Avoid exfoliation, physical scrubbing, and active skincare including acids and retinoids for 72 hours following each treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after treatment. Apply broad spectrum SPF if used during daytime hours.

Unopened product maintains quality for up to 5 years when stored under recommended conditions. Use within 24 months after opening.

Before your first full application, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the Volume Boost Spicule Cream to the inner forearm or behind the ear. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse. Wait 24 hours and monitor for any unusual reaction before proceeding with full facial use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a skincare professional or medical provider.
