What is Procell Microchanneling Treatment?
If you’re looking for a skin rejuvenation treatment that’s gentle yet effective, Procell Therapy might be your new best friend! This unique therapy was developed in the U.S. by a Licensed Aesthetician and a Board-Certified Dermatologist, so you know it’s backed by some serious expertise.
Â
The magic of Procell Microchanneling is that it encourages your skin to naturally heal and renew itself. Unlike some other treatments that can be harsh and cause inflammation, Procell is all about gentle stimulation. It’s a non-invasive procedure that kickstarts collagen production and works wonders on fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and other skin issues—basically, this means a lot less downtime, and a lot more healthier, youthful looking skin.

What are the Benefits of Procell Therapy?
Wondering if this is the solution you’ve been looking for? Here’s a rundown of what Procell Therapy can do for your skin:
- Helps reduce or even eliminate scars.
- Fine lines and wrinkles? Say goodbye!
- Firms, tightens, and tones your skin.
- Enhances your appearance without damaging the skin.
- Improves sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots.
- Helps correct uneven skin tone and texture.
- Leaves you with healthy, rejuvenated skin.
- Best of all, there’s virtually no downtime!

How Does Procell Microchanneling Work?
Curious about how it all happens? In a single Procell treatment, hundreds of thousands of microchannels are created in your skin. These tiny channels signal your body to kick off the healing process, which in turn stimulates new collagen production. Over time, this process helps smooth out skin texture and improves the overall look of your skin.

Microchanneling vs. Microneedling: What’s the Difference?
Microchanneling is like microneedling’s cooler, more advanced sibling. While microneedling uses a roller device covered in tiny needles that can sometimes tear the skin (ouch!), microchanneling uses a stamping technique. This technique is what creates those precise microchannels in your skin, allowing for better product absorption with less trauma. Plus, Procell Microchanneling pairs this process with growth factor serums that take your skin rejuvenation to the next level.

How can Procell Microchanneling Help with Aging?
You know how you wake up some days and your skin just doesn’t seem as radiant as it used to be? As we all know, aging happens every single day, thanks to things like sun exposure, pollution, gravity, and even inflammation inside your body. But here’s something you might not know: As we age, we lose a lot of our bone marrow stem cells. By the time we hit 50, only about 2% of them are left!
‍
These stem cells are crucial for regenerating skin, so with fewer of them around as we get older, it’s harder for our skin to repair itself— that’s when fine lines, wrinkles, and other issues start becoming more noticeable. The good news is, Procell Microchanneling uses human growth factors in its serums—yes, human bone marrow-derived growth factors! These help mimic the effects of having more of the youthful stem cells that we’ve lost.

Am I a Good Candidate for Procell Microchanneling?
Procell Therapy is suitable for most skin types, but there are some exceptions. If you have any of the following conditions, you may want to skip this treatment:
- A condition that seriously impairs your immune system (like undergoing chemotherapy)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Diabetes or any bleeding disorders
- Active infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal)
- Cardiac abnormalities
- Keloid scars
- Open wounds
- Active inflammatory skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, rash, or dermatitis) in the treatment area
‍
How Long Do the Effects Last? And How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The effects of Procell therapy can last anywhere from 2 to 10 years, depending on your age and lifestyle—pretty impressive, right? For light anti-aging benefits, 1-2 treatments might be enough. However, if you’re dealing with deeper wrinkles or scarring, you may need 4-6 treatments to get the results you desire. Treatments are usually spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, and you’ll start seeing noticeable improvements within 2-3 weeks.
‍
What’s the Aftercare Like?
After your treatment, you’ll need to take some steps to ensure your skin heals beautifully:
- Avoid anti-inflammatory meds pre & post treatment
- Nothing topical should be applied for at least 90 minutes post-treatment.
- Avoid washing your face for 6 hours (after you can use a gentle cleanser & moisturizer)
- No makeup for 6 hours.
- Skip swimming, jogging, or any vigorous exercise for 72 hours.
- Do not exfoliate for at least 7 days.
- Steer clear of direct sunlight for 7 days, and don’t forget that sunscreen!
If you follow these guidelines, you’ll be well on your way to glowing, rejuvenated skin in no time!
