MICROCHANNELING
The ultimate secret of glowing skin
WHAT IS MICROCHANNELING?
Microchanneling is a minimally invasive in-office procedure that creates small perforations, or microchannels, in the skin. Microchanneling delivery serum, containing bone marrow derived growth factors is applied to the skin immediately after the procedure, to boost production of collagen and elastin. The combination of the procedure and the growth factors create enhanced results to minimize sun spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring.
WHAT IS THE DIFERRENCE BETWEEN MICROCHANNELING AND MICRONEEDLING?
Procell Microchanneling therapy is the next generation of Microneedling. The main difference between the two therapies is the type of device used to perform the treatment as well as the technique that is used. Microneedling therapy involves using a handheld device with tiny needles that is dragged over the skin which can actually tear the skin, especially in the hands of someone who isn't properly trained. Procell Microchanneling therapy, on the other hand, uses a “stamping” technique, which creates micro vertical channels into the skin for better and deeper product penetration & less trauma to the skin. Patients often experience less discomfort, inflammation, and downtime as a result.
