Procell Therapies
Recently, microchanneling treatment has become one of the most pursued procedures because of its effectiveness and how quickly it works.
Microchanneling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of scars/acne scars, rosacea, hyper-pigmentation, stretch marks, and skin tightening. It improves skin elasticity, firmness, and tone, it does it all !
Procell microchanneling induces new collagen and reduces the signs of aging via stimulation of your stem cells, and the introduction of potent peptides, growth factors, and stem cytokines.
Procell Therapies Microchanneling
ProCell Therapies offers cutting-edge biotechnology to induce a breathtaking transformation to the appearance of the skin that can last a lifetime.
The ProCell Microchanneling delivery serum uses highly concentrated growth-factors serums derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells which are known to promote scarless healing in an anti-inflammatory environment. Amplifying your collagen response during microchanneling treatment.
This procedure is suitable for all skin types and is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment which involves the use of a TGA registered mechanized stamper to create tiny, clean controlled skin injuries (microchannels) which in turn stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. Procell’s Microchanneling device uses filaments made from surgical grade steel, small enough to fit into a hair follicle. This minimizes damage to the epidermis for faster recovery.
Procell Microchannelling is a unique well-researched treatment for skin rejuvenation with numerous benefits including:
- Reducing Acne & Chicken Pox Scarring
- Stimulating the production of Collagen, Tightening the skin
- Improves the appearance of Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Reduces the appearance of Crow’s Feet, Lip Lines, Forehead Lines & Frown Lines
- Improves Skin Tone & Texture
- Reduces the appearance of Stretch Marks
- Reduces the appearance of Surgical Scars
- Reduces the appearance of Large Pores
- Restores Sun Damaged skin and treats Hyperpigmentation and Melasma
- Improves the appearance of Puffy Eyes
- Improves Rosacea by Strengthening the skin
- Helps increase the absorption of Medical Grade Skincare products
- Reduce Oil levels in the skin
Microchanneling uses a mechanised stamper to create tiny, clean microchannels in the skin. These tiny pricks stimulate collagen production, and increase the rate of serum absorption by 300%.
Procell’s micro channelling device uses needles made from wire filaments, small enough to fit into a hair follicle. This minimizes damage to the dermis for faster recovery and is virtually pain free !
How do stem cells and cytokines work?
Procell creates a biological interaction between damaged cells and healing cytokines. Our bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells. These contain DNA hardware to work towards wound healing, fighting disease, and rejuvenating skin. The cells excrete proteins called cytokines, which are like little packages of information.
When the microchannelling creates a small injury in the skin, stem cells report to the area (or, in this case, are applied on the treatment area) to heal. Cell receptors in the injured area connect with the healthy cytokine into the damaged cells. Let the healing and new collagen formation begin!
Who can have Microchanneling?
Microchanneling is a non-ablative procedure and is therefore safe for all skin types. Contraindications are Pregnancy, Uncontrollable Diabetes, Active Herpes Simplex in the treatment area, Dry Skin and any active inflammatory skin condition e.g. eczema, psoriasis, infection, rash or any type of dermatitis at the treatment site as it may aggravate the condition.
What length of needle should I use on my skin?
It is always better to start with the 0.25mm tip depth. For the most part, you will be very comfortable with the 0.25mm. After the first procedure you can graduate up to the 0.5mm as results will typically be more substantial. If you are very uncomfortable with the 0.5mm tip at that point, you can always come back down to 0.25mm. For hair regrowth treatments these are all done at 0.5mm as this is the optimal depth to stimulate collagen production, blood flow to your scalp and stimulation of stem cells.
Do I need numbing cream?
For the 0.25mm tip, numbing cream is usually not required. For longer lengths, some customers prefer numbing cream. Numbing cream is not used for Hair Regrowth treatments.
How long should I wait in between treatments?
4 weeks in between irrespective of needle depth and treatment area.
How many treatments should I do?
The number of treatments range greatly depending on what we are treating. For light anti-aging and skin rejuvenation 2-3 treatments may be sufficient. For deeper wrinkles and acne scarring, 5 or more treatments may be required to achieve desired results. Hair Regrowth treatments require a minimum of 6 treatments. There is no limit to the number of treatments that one can receive as long as adequate time passes in between each treatment.
How long is the down time?
With 0.25mm and 0.5mm needles it typically only takes a few hours for all redness to disappear (sometimes less). For 1.0mm and 1.5mm this could stretch out to a few days for all pinpoint scabbing to disappear.
How should my face look immediately following the treatment?
There is a very wide range of normal reactions. Anything from little to no reaction, to a deep red flush, to pinpoint bleeding for longer lengths is normal. As this is a non-ablative procedure, more extreme reactions do not necessarily correspond to more extreme results. In general with a 0.25mm or 0.5mm tip you will usually see a pink or red “flush.”
How long before I can expect to see results?
You can sometimes see results from a single treatment very quickly but typically results become visible following your second treatment. Glowing skin from the MicroChannel Delivery Serum is noticeable almost immediately and for the few days following each treatment. You can begin seeing neo-collagenesis (new skin formation) as soon as two weeks after a procedure. For hair regrowth it can take up to nine months to see results, as hair follicles need to go from a resting phase to an active phase.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes! Typically combining treatments will result in more aggressive treatments and longer downtimes but can yield impressive results. Some treatments such as a light microdermabrasion or light chemical peel can be performed right before MicroChanneling as long as the face is then cleaned before starting the MicroChanneling treatment. Do not perform any procedures that involve the use of any topical solutions immediately following MicroChanneling. Light therapy treatments are typically the only treatments recommended post Microchanneling.
