So what is Microchanneling?
ProCell microchanneling is the next generation of microneedling.
Microchanneling is the most effective non-invasive and skin-rejuvenating treatment with little downtime. This treatment assists in improving the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, and acne scarring. Results from treatments could last anywhere from 2 to 10 years, depending on personal lifestyle and age.
How does it work?
During treatment, your esthetician will use the ProCell Therapy gun to make uniform holes, also called channels, in the outermost layer of your skin. This helps to open the stratum corneum and allows serum ingredients to work more effectively. The microchannels will stimulate cell repair and regeneration while aiding your skin in becoming luminous, hydrated, and plump.
How many treatments will I need?
For light treatments, 1 to 2 treatments may work sufficiently, but for deep wrinkles and scarring, it may require 4 to 6 treatments to achieve the desired results. There is an interval of 4 to 6 weeks between treatments, and you will be able to see results 2 to 3 weeks after your treatment.
How is microchanneling different from microneedling?
Microneedling uses a device that drags tiny needles over the skin and causes unnecessary trauma to the skin. The Procell Therapy gun stamps and creates liner trauma that helps to bring up collagen.
