Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Microchanneling is a linear stamping method that creates uniformly distributed channels without causing skin tearing or dragging, leading to reduced discomfort. The treatment is quicker due to wider tips covering more surface area. Additionally, microchanneling typically involves minimal downtime. In contrast, microneedling creates irregular and angled channels, making it a more abrasive procedure with downtime lasting between 1-3 days.

PRP  ( platelet rich plasma )when you use your own blood to get the proteins and growth factors from your own stem cells that are then put back into your skin by injections or microneedling aiming to repair or rejuvenate the skin with your own plasma.  The effectiveness of PRP varies with each individual, largely dependent on age, health and stem cell count.  As the stem count decreases with age the strength in PRP largely decreases after the age of 40. The down time of a PRP procedure is usually 3-6 days.  ProCell Microchanneling delivery serum contains growth factors and proteins produced from stem cells.  The stem cells are derived from the bone marrow of young athletes in their 20's,  which removes the disadvantage of age. Procell Microchanneling treatment is less invasive , faster, and more reliable option for collagen induction and skin  rejuvenation.  The downtime is only 90 minutes.

With minimal physical discomfort, most clients are able to do the procedure without numbing cream and without any noticeable pain. There is no lingering discomfort, 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.

Microchanneling treatments can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, stretch marks, rosacea.

Though neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen) can take several weeks, it is not abnormal to notice an improvement in the quality and appearance of your skin within the first 24 hours. 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.
