Microchanneling activates your body’s natural regenerative ability to tighten and lift the skin, stimulating rather than utilising destructive and inflammatory techniques. This means a treatment that is typically well tolerated and has minimal downtime, while encouraging healthy skin by stimulating the rejuvenation cascade for new collagen production.
Microchanneling can be used to address concerns with ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles, and skin laxity. It is also used to address stretch marks and scars – acne and surgical scars, and pigmentation and textural concerns.
Procell Therapies Microchanneling gun is used to create targeted micro-channels in the skin, without the dragging action across the skin that can damage the surface of the skin. Procell Therapies Microchannel Delivery Serums are also used in combination with Microchanneling. These highly concentrated growth factor serums encourage healing and have anti-inflammatory properties, amplifying collagen response and decreasing recovery time.

If you are given a mask, apply it 90 minutes after the completion of your treatment and keep it on for around 30 minutes.
For the first 90 mins, don’t touch treatment areas or put anything else on (besides the mask), and avoid any sun exposure.
Preferably, do not apply any products to your skin, apart from make-up if necessary, for 6-8 hours after your mask is taken off.
Avoid sweating for the first 24 hours (no gym, sauna, swimming, exercise) and spicy food.
Avoid exposure to pet dander and other irritants as best you can. You may experience a mild allergic reaction to pets and other things you typically do not react to within the first 24 hours.
Your skin may feel hot and tight, like a mild sunburn.
For your first treatment, (and treatments at .25mm in general) you can expect mild redness and swelling, and a tight, warm sensation for between 4-24 hours. Treatments with longer needle lengths may produce redness and swelling, along with tiny flecks of redness for between 4-72 hours.
Mild skin sloughing may occur for a few days after treatment.
Mild acne and milia can occur in rare cases. Don’t pick and they’ll go away in a few days.
Trans-Epidermal Water Loss is a common temporary side effect and could leave you feeling dry throughout the first week. Keep the recommended moisturiser with you during the day and apply as frequently as necessary to avoid dryness.
After 6-8 hours, you can apply a mild moisturiser as well as an SPF 30 or higher with Zinc Oxide sunblock and daily thereafter to maximise results.
After 36-48 hours post-procedure: apply the Procell Therapies Cellular Renewal Serum and Healing Accelerator for the best results. Cleanse first and apply 1-3 pumps each. Apply daily, morning and night.
Do not apply any products with the following for at least one week after treatment: Retin-A, Retinol, Vitamin C, beta hydroxy acids (BHA), alpha hydroxy acids (AHA).
Microchanneling treatments should not be used if you have active skin cancers within the treatment areas; open wounds or sores; irritated skin within the treatment zone; an ongoing active inflammatory skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis; an active Herpes Simplex in the treatment area; are pregnant or breastfeeding; Diabetes due to possible healing issues; or are currently taking medicines with the ingredient isotretinoin (such as Accutane).
Usual activities can be undertaken prior to treatment. For the week before your treatment avoid topical agents that may increase your skin’s sensitivity, such as retinoids and exfoliants. Avoid unprotected sun exposure or sunburn for at least 48 hours prior to your treatment. If you are prone to cold sores, take an antiviral agent for 2 days prior to and the day of treatment. Avoid blood thinning agents for one week before your treatment due to the increased risk of bruising.
