Procell Microchanneling - the Latest Breakthrough in Skincare
Microchanneling is a non-invasive procedure designed to stimulate your body’s natural ability to generate collagen, elastin, and other building blocks of healthy skin. By stimulating the outermost layers of the skin, microchanneling can help you jump-start your body’s natural process. Increases in collagen and communication levels in the skin facilitate thicker, younger-looking skin with minimal downtime.
Microchanneling is a popular treatment for acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, photo-aging, stretch marks, surgery scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture. Scars improvement occurs by breaking down the old tissue and fostering the development of healthier skin. When combined with cutting-edge growth factor serums, healing is improved and future signs of aging are diminished.
Microchanneling involves a 3-stage process:
Micro-needles create micro-channels – Precision micro-needles are tapped into the skin creating uniform micro-channels. A single pass over the face will create hundreds of thousands of micro-channels.
Stimulation of a healing response – Each micro-channel is surrounded by healthy tissue, which enhances the healing process. In response to each micro-injury, an inflammatory healing process begins which initiates the formation of new collagen.
Smoothing of Skin – Over time, the repeated healing process will build new collagen, creating healthier skin, and improving the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin.
Who Can Benefit from Microchanneling Treatments?
Microchanneling treatments are minimally invasive and are safe for all ages and 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.
Ideal candidates are those who seek improvement in the following areas:
Acne scars
Fine lines and wrinkles
Anti-aging or skin tightening
Hyperpigmentation (sun spots)
Pore size reduction
Rosacea
Stretch marks or other traumatic scarring
Hair growth
The main differences between microchanneling and microneedling are the type of device used to perform the treatment and the technique that is used. A microneedling device involves the use of a handheld roller covered in tiny needles which are dragged over the skin. This method can actually tear the skin.
Instead, the microchanneling device encompasses a linear stamping technique, resulting in clean, consistent microchannels. This reduced tissue damage results in reduced inflammation and substantially decreased discomfort for clients. Reduced inflammation means less downtime. Typical downtime after a microchanneling treatment is 60-90 minutes, compared to days of downtime with microneedling.
