How It Works
1. Micro-Needles create Micro-Channels
1. Micro-Needles create Micro-Channels
1. Micro-Needles create Micro-Channels
Precision micro-needles set to a fixed depth are tapped into the skin creating uniform channels. A single pass over the face using the ProCell system creates thousands of micro-channels.
2. healing response

Each micro-channel is surrounded by healthy tissue, which enhances the healing process. In response to each micro-wound, an inflammatory healing process begins and initiates the formation of new collagen.
3. Smoothing of skin

Over time, repeated micro-channeling and healing processes build new collagen, creating healthier skin, improving the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin.
PROCEDURE
Micro-channeling is a superior treatment for collagen remodeling and retexturing the skin. The benefits of building new collagen will naturally improve skin laxity and reduce the appearance of pore size, fine lines and wrinkles, and leftover acne scar indentations.
The procedure is performed in a safe and precise manner with a single-use sterile needle head. The device punctures controlled micro-channels into the skin while infusing a pharmaceutical-grade growth factor serum to enhance tissue rejuvenation and collagen production. Numbing cream is included to ensure client comfort. A hydrating facial mask and LED light therapy is included in treatment. The session typically takes about 30-75 minutes, depending on the area(s) being treated.
Your skin may appear red with mild swelling, as well as feel tight and sensitive to the touch. Although these symptoms may take 1-3 days to resolve completely, they will diminish significantly within a few hours after treatment. Most people feel comfortable going in public the same day of treatment.
Your skin will regenerate and produce collagen and elastin throughout the next 4-6 weeks.
Clinical studies prove that Micro-Channeling achieves better results with shorter recovery time than far more invasive & expensive procedures such as fractional lasers or deep chemical peels.
