Procell Micro-Channeling
How Does Microchanneling Stimulate Cellular Activity?
How Does Microchanneling Stimulate Cellular Activity?
A single Procell treatment creates hundreds of thousands of microchannels. In response to each micro-injury, an inflammatory healing process starts which initiates the formation of new collagen! Over time, the repeated healing process improves the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin.
The next generation of microneedling is here! We’re thrilled to introduce our newest skincare service, Procell Microchanneling!
Procell’s Microchanneling system is a minimally invasive treatment appropriate for all skin types that transforms the look and feel of damaged skin to a smoother, and healthier appearance. Unlike microneedling and skin pens, microchanneling has only a 90-minute downtime and minimal discomfort!
Improves the appearance of…
fine lines and wrinkles
acne scars/surgical scars
stretch marks
sun damage and dark spots
hyperpigmentation
firms, tightens and tones skin
HOW IT WORKS
During the treatment, very small micro-needles penetrate the upper layers of your skin creating small, micro-injuries. These micro-injuries stimulate a natural healing response, which leads to the creation of new collagen. Over the course of several treatments, this repetitive healing process can create a new layer of collagen and improve the overall appearance of your skin.
Traditional Microneedling vs. Procell Microchanneling
Traditional dermal rollers enter and leave the skin at an angle which causes epidermal pulling and gouging. Procell stamps the skin vertically creating evenly spaced, linear and fast healing micro-channels. This less damaging process results in minimal downtime with only the look of a slight sunburn for up to 24 hours.
We also incorporate Stem Cell Growth Factors into the treatment to help accelerate the healing of acne scars, crepe skin, dark spots and other skin issues all while tightening the skin and shrinking the size of the pore.

What is the difference between Microchanneling and Microneedling?
ProCell Micro-channeling 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 “roller” covered in tiny needles that is dragged over the skin which can actually tear the skin. 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.
