Microchanneling is an evolved and improved upon version of microneedling. It is a non-invasive, pain-free procedure designed to stimulate your body’s natural ability to generate collagen, elastin and other building blocks to create smoother, firmer skin. It’s an incredibly effective treatment for acne scars, skin tone, wrinkles, fine lines and hair loss – without the downtime.
Microchanneling creates tiny perforations in the skin called micro-channels. These micro-channels naturally elicit a healing cascade in your skin, which produces new collagen and elastin resulting in firmer, healthier skin. In essence, we are tricking your skin into thinking it’s been wounded. Over time, the repeated healing process will build new collagen, creating healthier skin, improving the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin. In addition, these micro-channels act as a delivery system allowing for the deepest absorption of the stem cell rejuvenating serum which boosts the effects of your session and accelerates your results.
Ideal candidates are those who seek improvement in the following areas:
-
Acne scars
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Anti-aging or skin tightening
-
Hyperpigmentation (sun spots)
-
Pore size reduction
-
Rosacea
-
Stretch marks or other traumatic scarring
-
Hair growth
Microchanneling vs. Microneedling
The main differences between microchanneling and microneedling are the type of device used to perform the treatment and the technique that is used. A microneedling device involves the use of a handheld roller covered in tiny needles which is dragged over the skin. This method can actually tear the skin.
Instead, the microchanneling device encompasses a linear stamping technique, resulting in clean, consistent micro-channels. This reduced tissue damage results in reduced inflammation and substantially decreased discomfort for clients. Reduced inflammation means less downtime. Typical downtime after a microchanneling treatment is 60-90 minutes, compared to days of downtime with microneedling.
