Who is Idenel Professional

IDENEL is a Korean professional skincare brand built around one stubborn problem: almost nothing you put on your face actually gets in. Most actives sit on the surface, do very little, and wash off.

Developed by SR Biotek under Dr. Byungho Song, a nanotechnology and chemistry professor with more than 20 years in absorption research, IDENEL borrowed targeted drug-delivery science from oncology and applied it to skin. The result is ALTUM® Peptide, a patented delivery system that carries high-value peptides into the lower epidermis with no needles, no injections, and no bleeding.

Backed by over 3 billion KRW in research investment, five-plus ingredient patents, and a research team of 15 experts including practicing dermatologists.

San Spa is proud to be one of the first spas in Chicago offering IDENEL Glassifier Peptide Liquid Microneedling treatments.

Why IDENEL

  • Traditional microneedling means punctures, blood, and three days of hiding.

    Liquid microneedling gets to the same working depth using microscopic spicules, natural micro-needles half the width of a pore.

    Real collagen stimulation. No injections, no bleeding, no nodules, minimal pain.

  • This is the number that matters. In comparative testing, ALTUM® Peptide absorbed at a 60× higher rate than a conventional peptide formulation.

    It is the difference between a product that works and a product that sits there. (Korean Institute of Dermatological Sciences, Dec 2022; 22 subjects aged 20 to 60.)

  • IDENEL pioneered micro-needles refined from the skeleton of freshwater sponges.

    Every spicule passes through a 9-step purification system and is standardized to roughly 150 to 250 μm.

    Pure, consistent, and precisely sized for the epidermis.

  • The spicule stops just above your blood vessels and nerves, so nothing bleeds. Glutathione releases the peptide there, and the peptide travels down on its own into the deeper layer where collagen is made.

    The empty spicule gets pushed back up and out, like a rocket booster dropping away once its job is done.

    Traditional microneedlings have to create trauma on skin in order to stimulate skin renewal process, and that's why they bleed.

  • The glutathione your skin already makes is what unlocks the peptide.

    The Idenel glutathione toning spray included in our service will enhance the result.

  • Winter wind, dry indoor heat, and city air wreck your barrier and show up as dullness, texture, and congestion.

    This rebuilds collagen from underneath instead of only exfoliating the surface.

ALTUM® TECHNOLOGY

How ALTUM® Peptide Works

1. In The spicule carries the peptide in and stops just above your blood vessels.

2. Unlocked Glutathione, which your skin already makes, releases the peptide.

3. Deeper The peptide travels down into the layer where collagen is made. The empty spicule gets pushed back out.

4. Build Your collagen cells get to work. Lines soften, firmness returns, and your skin's renewal cycle restarts.

What’s included in your treatment?

1. Deep cleanse

2. Lymphatic drainage massage

We work the lymph and circulation to wake the skin up first, so it takes in far more of the IDENEL treatment than it would cold.

3. IDENEL liquid microneedling

4. Cryotherapy with the IDENEL Intensive Repair mask.

Brings the temperature down and settles the prickling and warmth while the mask soothes and rehydrates.

5. IDENEL finish

We seal everything in with IDENEL barrier products and SPF.

At home: pair your treatment with our sheet mask for the first few nights. It keeps the skin calm and hydrated while it renews, and it is the single easiest thing you can do to get more out of your course.

What it actually does

Collagen work, not a hydration facial.

The Idenel Powder carries ALTUM® Peptide into your skin, where your own glutathione releases it. The freed peptide then travels down to your collagen cells and tells them to start building. Niacinamide takes on pore size and uneven tone. Adenosine and biotin support elasticity and barrier strength.

The Idenel Concentrate that follows is built on PDRN (salmon-derived), ectoin, amino acid complex, and glutathione.

The glutathione activates the peptide release while PDRN and ectoin speed regeneration and keep skin calm through the process.

The point is structural change over a course, not a one-day glow that's gone by Thursday.
