What is Micro-Channeling (Skin Needling)?
Skin needling, also known as microneedling, is a popular treatment that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production to address concerns like fine lines, acne scars, and uneven texture. Traditional skin needling devices, such as rollers or basic pens, vary in precision and often rely solely on the skin’s natural healing response without additional enhancements.
Micro-channeling, a more advanced form of skin needling, takes this concept to the next level with cutting-edge technology like the ProCell Pen. Unlike traditional needling, micro-channeling creates precise, uniform micro-channels in the skin, minimizing trauma while maximizing results. Paired with specialized serums, such as ProCell’s human growth factor solutions or Exosomes, it accelerates healing and enhances skin rejuvenation, offering superior outcomes.
How does it work?
Traditional skin needling works by creating random micro-injuries in the skin with varying depth and consistency, triggering a basic healing response to produce collagen. While effective, the results can be inconsistent due to uneven needle penetration and longer recovery times.
Micro-channeling with the ProCell Pen, uses advanced technology to create thousands of precise, vertical micro-channels with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. This precision reduces downtime and discomfort while optimizing the skin’s regenerative process. Additionally, ProCell incorporates stem cell-derived serums that are applied during the treatment, penetrating deeply through the micro-channels to nourish skin cells, speed up recovery, and deliver faster, more dramatic improvements in tone, texture, and firmness.
What to expect?
During a micro-channeling session with the ProCell Pen, a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The device glides over the skin, creating uniform micro-channels while infusing ProCell serums. You may feel a mild prickling sensation, and the treatment typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area treated.
Post-treatment, expect mild redness or swelling, similar to a light sunburn, lasting 1 to2 days, often shorter than with traditional skin needling due to ProCell’s precision and growth factor serums. Over the following weeks, as collagen rebuilds, your skin will become smoother, firmer, and more even-toned. Full results develop after a series of treatments, with noticeably quicker improvements compared to standard needling methods.
