All About ProCell Therapies Microchanneling
Have you found yourself worried about uneven skin texture, fine lines, acne scars, or even noticed some unwanted pigmentation? If so, you’re definitely not alone. While these imperfections may seem minor on their own, they can certainly add up over time, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unhappy. If you’re in the market for some rejuvenation, consider ProCell therapies microchanneling for your skin care needs!
Microchanneling is an incredible solution for many of your skin-related issues. Here at Skinsations Aesthetics, we love microchanneling so much that we’ve decided to share everything there is to know about the process with you – so that you can fall in love too!
Why choose microchanneling over microneedling?
So, while you may not be familiar with microchanneling, you may have heard about the viral sensation of microneedling. This cosmetic procedure involves a microneedling pen adorned with microscopic needles that run across the epidermis in order to boost the production of collagen on the skin. Microchanneling works in a similar method, but actually provides better results and less strain on your skin! Here’s how:
Microchanneling is minimally invasive
This process is minimally invasive – that means that you can continue with your day immediately after your session with no need for any real down time. In fact, any redness or swelling should be completely gone within two hours of the ending of your session. This is a stark contrast from the several days of downtime needed following a professional microneedling session.
Having a minimally invasive procedure with little to no down time? Sounds too good to be true, but it isn't!
Linear stamping method creates clean micro-channels
In our opinion, microchanneling shines the brightest (when being compared to microneedling) when we look at the application technique. Microchanneling uses a stamping technique to treat the skin. Since the tool is strategically placed and gently stamped on the skin, the microscopic channels it makes to the deeper parts of your tissue is clean and uniform, with no risk of additional damage!
Targeted and controlled for maximum success
Due to the precision of the application process, your treatment is automatically geared to provide better results. These controlled applications allow the channels to be strategically placed by your technician, optimizing the effectiveness of your treatment.
Am I the right candidate for microchanneling?
While microchanneling may feel like an anti-aging gift, there are certain circumstances that may leave you ineligible for treatment. It is important to discuss your skin goals and all of your previous skincare treatments to determine if microchanneling is right for you.
How can you determine if microchanneling is the right treatment for your skin type?
Due to the non invasive nature of this treatment, there are no limitations on what skin type is eligible for microchanneling. This process is meant to treat individuals concerned about acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and stretch marks. As long as these skin concerns are present, you are a prime candidate for treatment.
There are, however, situations in which certain health conditions or skincare treatments prohibit you from receiving microchanneling skin therapy. In situations where your immune system may be compromised (such as undergoing chemotherapy), it is best to avoid the procedure. Additionally, if accutane has been used in the past two years, it is suggested to postpone treatment until the two year mark has transpired. If you are concerned about certain medications or health issues and how they would interact with your treatment, please discuss this with your technician prior to your appointment.
How many microchanneling sessions will you need before seeing results?
When it comes to seeing results, the number of sessions needed will be heavily dependent on the skin condition being treated. For example, if you’re worried about a little discoloration and blotchy-ness around your face, it may only take one to three sessions to achieve your desired results. However, if your acne scars that followed you into adulthood are still the bane of your existence, that may take around four to six sessions to see results.
During your consultation, your technician will go over what your ideal end result is and determine the best treatment plan moving forward. During the cultivation of this treatment plan, the number of sessions as well as overall cost should be established.
Proper aftercare to ensure quick healing
Although there is practically no downtime associated with microchanneling, that does not mean that proper aftercare should be left to the wayside. Sure, Procell’s use of stem cells in their human growth factor serum allows for a rapid healing process, but ensuring the proper steps are taken to protect and nurture your skin means that healing will not only be fast, but also produce the best possible outcome.
