Microchanneling is a noninvasive procedure designed to stimulate your body’s own natural ability to generate collagen, elastin, and other building blocks of healthy skin. By stimulating the outermost layers of the skin, microchanneling can help your body start this process without penetrating into living tissue.

Before the procedure begins, a numbing cream is applied to reduce pain. There may be slight discomfort that resolves quickly, and we have a number of strategies we employ to minimize discomfort during treatment. Post-procedure, most people report a "tight" feeling in their skin.

As Procell microchanneling treatments are minimally invasive, they are also safe for all skin types. Whether you are fair-skinned or dark, and even if you experience chronic breakouts, properly conducted microchanneling treatments will not result in hyperpigmentation, keloid scars, or other lasting negative side effects.

Microchanneling suits individuals looking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea.

Although it takes time to produce collagen in the treated area, many people see results in as little as 24 hours. Results will become even more noticeable and dramatic with time and further treatments. After 2-3 treatments, a thicker, more robust, collagen-filled cellular matrix will produce more consistent and noticeable improvement. And 6 or more treatments may be recommended for scarring, laxity, and wrinkles.

It is highly recommended that you keep your skin clean and dry for at least 90 minutes but up to 24 hours after treatment. Do not apply anything to your skin other than what is supplied or suggested to you by your technician.

Results of Microchanneling typically last for several months, with optimal outcomes achieved through several sessions.

While mild redness and swelling are common immediately after treatment, they typically subside within a few days. Most patients can resume their regular routines shortly after the procedure.

Before microchanneling, avoiding sun exposure and using certain skincare products is essential. After treatment, patients should protect their skin from the sun and follow post-care instructions provided by their skincare specialist.

During the Microchanneling procedure, a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The Microchanneling device is then gently passed over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. During treatment, serums applied (containing naturally-derived growth factors, peptides and stem cytokine) restore and increase biological communication within the skin during the wound-healing cascade that an aging immune system no longer provides, enhance healing and promote optimal results.

The number of treatments you’ll require before seeing results depend on what we are treating. Light wrinkles may improve after only 2-3 treatments, where as deep scarring may require 6 or more. Your practitioner will discuss your needs and recommend a treatment plan.

Microchanneling is typically very safe. However, to prevent worsening of certain skin conditions and to avoid injections, it should not be used for people who have a variety of conditions. These include:

· Rosacea, Eczema, or Psoriasis

· History of keloid scarring

· Blood clotting issues

· Autoimmune disorders

· Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections

· Active acne or open lesions

· Moles, warts, and solar keratosis (we can avoid these areas)

· Currently pregnant

If any of these apply to you, please call us to discuss alternate treatments.
