ProCell’s Micro-Channeling is a minimally invasive treatment that transforms the look and feel of damaged skin to a smoother, cleaner and healthier looking skin.  During the Micro-Channeling process, small micro-needles penetrate the superficial layers of your skin creating small, micro-injuries.  These micro-injuries stimulate a natural healing response in the skin, which leads to the deposition of new collagen.  During a normal Micro-Channeling treatment, several thousands of micro-injuries can be created.  Over the course of several treatments, this repetitive healing process can create a new layer of collagen that can improve the smoothness and overall appearance of your skin.

VibraDermabrasion is a unique treatment that gently exfoliates the upper layers of the skin using a paddle-style tip.  The Vibra-Derm paddle attachment exfoliates skin much faster than other systems as it works against the horizontal vectors of the skin making treatments more efficient and comfortable.  The larger paddle-style tip can treat large areas of skin much faster than conventional systems.

MicroChanneling and VibraDermabrasion can be used anywhere on the face and body where skin imperfections are located.  In most cases, repeat MicroChanneling and VibraDermabrasion treatments will smooth out imperfections and improve the surface texture of the skin.  Skin will often appear cleaner and healthier after a series of treatments.  In many cases, MicroChanneling and VibraDermabrasion are part of a comprehensive treatment plan by your practitioner that may include other treatments and topical therapies.

Most patients comment that they feel warmth and mini skin pricks as the delivery system covers the treated area.  Many find the treatment relaxing and comfortable.  Most patients can tolerate superficial treatments without any topical anesthetic.  For deeper treatments or more comprehensive coverage, you should speak with your treatment provider about a topical anesthetic to make the experience more comfortable.

It is recommended to avoid sun exposure for 48 hours in advance of your treatment.  Remove all makeup and skin moisturizers from the surface of your skin before treatment.

Most patients experience a mild redness and some slight swelling following treatment.  This varies widely based on the patient and their skin type.  Redness usually lasts from 20 – 30 minutes but also varies based upon the patient.  More aggressive or comprehensive treatments will typically extend recovery periods.  You may apply makeup to the treated area one hour after treatment and return to normal activities without restrictions.

Everyone is different is terms of what they are expecting from their MicroChanneling and  VibraDermabrasion treatments.  Speak to your practitioner about your expectations and be patient, as the best results are usually seen after a series of treatments.
