Procell Microchanneling Treatment
This procedure is clinically proven to increase the production of new collagen and elastin, which helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, surgical scars, uneven skin tone & texture and more.
How does a Microchanneling Treatment stimulate cellular activity? A single treatment creates thousands of microchannels. In response to each micro-injury, a healing process begins which initiates the formation of new collagen. This healing process improves the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin as the collagen reestablishes.
It is a minimally-invasive, non-surgical and non-ablative procedure for facial and body rejuvenation that involves the use of a microchanneling device which creates tiny microchannels in the skin. This triggers a wound response by the skin which these channels begin a controlled wound response. This promotes collogen and elastin production. This promotes a healing response in your skin, helping to minimize signs of aging, scars and a number of other skin issues.
We use a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Most people find it very tolerable.
To get the best results we recommend a series of 4 treatments to "kick start" your skin's collagen and elsatin production.
There may be redness following the treatment however the next day you can expect minimal redness or possibly none at all.
You will typically 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. 6 or more treatments may be recommended for scarring, laxity and wrinkles.
