MICROCHANNELING

Microchanneling is collagen stimulation by microchannel delivery of peptides, growth factors & cytokines.

Microchanneling improves the appearance of aging skin, increases the vitality of your skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne & acne scarring. It also improves the clinical health of your skin by stimulating a rejuvenation cascade that your body has built-in, just waiting to be activated!

Microchanneling

A perfect balance of gentle stimulation of your skin produces “wound healing” without a wound, complimented by the infusion of nutritious and vital factors responsible for helping you produce your best skin!

With this treatment we use serums contain growth factors which produce a potent anti-inflammatory effect that reduces healing time, hyper pigmentation, and scar tissue deposition.

Serums support cellular renewal and have

strong regenerating properties to improve skin

firmness, elasticity, and tone. The appearance

of scarring improves, fine lines and wrinkles

diminish, and skin looks bright and healthy.

Microchanneling temporarily creates hundreds

of thousands of micro-channels into the skin

to be “filled” by new, healthy collagen. It also

allows topical solutions to be absorbed up to

200% more effectively.

POST-CARE

1. If you are given a mask, keep it on for at least 15-30 mins.

2. No other products are applied for the next 24 hours.

3. Your skin may feel hot and tight, like a mild sunburn.

4. For your first treatment, (and treatments at .25mm in general) you can expect mild redness and swelling, and a tight, warm sensation for between 4-24 hours. Treatments with longer needle lengths may produce redness and swelling, along with tiny flecks of redness for between 4-72 hours.

5. Mild skin sloughing may occur for a few days after treatment.

6. Mild acne and milia can occur in rare cases. Don’t pick and they’ll go away in a few days.

7. Trans-Epidermal Water Loss is a common temporary side effect and could leave you feeling dry throughout the first week. Keep the recommended moisturizer with you during the day and apply as frequently as necessary to avoid dryness.

8. After 24 hours post-procedure: apply all skin care product you have been given for the best results. Apply daily each of them, morning and night. Wear SPF every day to protect your skin from UVA/UVB rays.

After 24 hours you can begin using the aftercare serums step 1 and 2 morning and night.
For the first 5 days, your skin will be dryer than normal (trans-epidermal water loss) so drink plenty of water and moisturize often throughout the day.
