You may notice an immediate glow and plumpness, but the real transformation happens over the following 4–6 weeks as your skin produces new collagen and elastin. Results continue to build with each session in a series.

When will I see results?

Most clients see the best results with a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Your skin goals and starting point will determine the ideal treatment plan, which we'll customize during your consultation.

How many treatments do I need?

Your skin will be pink or flushed for 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most people return to normal activities the next day, though you'll want to avoid heavy sweating, sun exposure, and makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

What's the downtime like?

While both create controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen, Procell™ microchanneling uses stamping technology (rather than rolling), which creates more precise, consistent channels with less trauma to the skin. This means better results with less downtime and reduced risk of tearing or scarring.

How is microchanneling different from microneedling?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate — like light scratching or a tingling feeling. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine microchanneling with other treatments?

Yes! Microchanneling pairs beautifully with treatments like dermaplaning or enzyme therapy. We'll help you design a treatment plan that supports your goals without overwhelming your skin.

Is microchanneling safe for all skin types?

Yes, microchanneling is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. It's a great option for those who may not be candidates for more aggressive treatments like laser or chemical peels.

What should I avoid before my appointment?

Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and any treatments that irritate the skin for 3–5 days prior. No sun exposure or tanning for at least one week before. We'll give you a full prep guide when you book.

What's the aftercare like?

Keep it simple. Gentle cleansing, hydration, and SPF are your best friends. Avoid active ingredients (retinol, acids, vitamin C) for 3–5 days post-treatment. We'll send you home with specific aftercare instructions tailored to your skin.
