Treatment
Procell Therapies
Microchanneling—sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy—is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device with fine filaments to create tiny, controlled micro-channels on the skin’s surface.
This technique is designed to support the skin’s natural renewal process and help improve overall texture and appearance. It may be considered by individuals wanting to address concerns such as uneven tone, visible pores, or general changes associated with skin ageing.
Professional serums containing selected ingredients, such as peptides and vitamins, are often applied during treatment to help nourish and condition the skin.
Treatments are performed by trained practitioners following consultation to determine suitability and expected outcomes.

About the Treatment Serums
During treatment, serums containing selected cosmetic ingredients such as peptides and growth factors may be applied. These are intended to help condition and hydrate the skin as part of your overall skincare program.
How It Works
The creation of microchannels encourages the skin’s normal healing response. This response can support the appearance of smoother, more refined skin over time. Your practitioner will discuss what to expect, the number of treatments recommended, and individual variations during your consultation.
Who Can Have Microchanneling?
Microchanneling is a non-ablative cosmetic procedure and may be suitable for most skin types.
Treatment suitability is determined during consultation, as certain medical conditions may prevent treatment — for example, pregnancy, uncontrolled diabetes, active herpes simplex in the treatment area, or inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. Your practitioner will discuss this with you during your assessment.
Do I Need Numbing Cream?
For most cosmetic microchanneling procedures, topical numbing cream may be applied depending on the treatment area and individual comfort level.
Your practitioner will determine whether numbing is appropriate for your specific treatment.
How Long Should I Wait Between Treatments?
Treatment spacing and frequency are determined individually based on your practitioner’s recommendation.
In general, treatments are scheduled several weeks apart to allow time for the skin’s natural renewal processes to occur.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the area treated and individual skin goals.
Some people choose a short series of sessions, while others prefer periodic maintenance treatments.
Your practitioner will advise a plan during your consultation.
What Is the Expected Downtime?
Mild redness or sensitivity may occur following treatment.
This typically subsides within several hours to a few days depending on the intensity of the procedure and your skin type.
How Should My Skin Look Immediately After Treatment?
Responses vary.
Some people experience mild redness or a flushed appearance shortly after the procedure, while others notice minimal visible changes.
Your practitioner will provide aftercare instructions tailored to your skin.
When Might I Notice Changes?
Some people notice subtle changes soon after treatment, while others may observe gradual improvement over several weeks as the skin’s natural renewal cycle continues.
Individual responses and timelines vary.
Can I Combine This With Other Treatments?
Your practitioner can discuss complementary or staged treatment options that align with your skincare goals.
Certain procedures may be combined safely under professional supervision, while others may require time between sessions.
A personalised plan will be developed during your consultation.
