microchanneling

Micro-channeling therapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure designed to improve the appearance of aging skin and to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne, scarring and hair loss. The procedure creates invisible micro-perforations on the outer layer of dead skin, which may support the production of new collagen, thereby triggering the body to fill these channels with newly produced collagen and elastin. Unlike other treatments that injure or damage the skin to activate a healing response (IPL, Chemical Peels, Laser treatments), ProCell Micro-channeling therapy improves the skin’s health and appearance by facilitating the release of epidermal growth with virtually no damage to the skin.

Micro-channeling is known to enhance the skin’s absorption of natural nutrients and topical serums by over 300%. Our Livra MD growth serums are applied immediately after the procedure to deliver a high concentration of growth factors, such as improving the appearance of scar tissue and wrinkles and producing tighter, firmer, healthier looking skin. The growth factors used in Livra MD serums are derived from human bone marrow cultures, providing effective anti-inflammatory effects that reduce healing time and scar tissue, while also stimulating the skin’s own rejuvenation ability. These replenishing properties improve the skin’s firmness, elasticity, and tone, making the skin look and feel younger and healthier. ProCell proprietary hair serum is formulated with specific growth factors naturally present in healthy hair follicles. These factors rejuvenate damaged follicles, improve the condition of the scalp and supports the growth of new hair quickly and effectively.

The Difference of ProCell Therapies

The ProCell microchanneling device provides the skin with metrics that are clinically proven to offer the most effective, targeted treatment sessions available. The needle perforations are performed at a fixed depth and properly spaced apart, preventing a resistance to the penetrations. While other devices scratch the skin, ProCell is performed using the intended stamping technique described by its inventors. Because of this uniformity, the healing period for a ProCell microchanneling procedure has been reduced by two-thirds when compared with other microneedling techniques.

The handheld tool was designed by a licensed aesthetician and honed by a board-certified dermatologist, whereas other devices are re-tooled tattoo machines that were used for permanent makeup. The latter contains needles at closer proximities which reach a depth misrepresented on the dial, rendering a treatment less effective. With ProCell microchanneling, the gun-like design features a Swiss motor with simpler working components and more reliability of the machine. It should come as no surprise that the same U.S. facility that manufactures the product also produces aircrafts’ avionics controls.

Benefits of Microchanneling and Stem Cell Therapy

Somewhat unique to cosmetic medicine, the combination of ProCell microchanneling and stem cell therapy offers improvement of the treatment site within 24 hours following a session. Most of the healing will occur internally, and any side effects like swelling, spot bleeding, or light scabbing will not be prolonged. The skin should appear refreshed after a day or so and will continue to improve in both its tone and texture. Because changes occur at the cellular level of growth, patients will see continued improvement with each microchanneling session they undergo. In addition to improvements to facial skin like the diminishment of acne scars and lessening of lines and wrinkles, ProCell microchanneling also treats rosacea, the appearance of cellulite, and stretch marks.

With long-lasting results after as few as two treatments, it’s no wonder why ProCell Micro-channeling Therapy has become widely popular among the beauty industry these past few years. The treatment has demonstrated immediate improvements in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, acne scarring, stretch marks, aging and sun damage.

q&a

How often do patients receive ProCell microchanneling treatments? Most sessions are scheduled every 3-4 weeks as needed for area skin treatments. .

How many microchanneling treatments are necessary to obtain desired results? Because microchanneling offers a diversity of plans dependent upon a patient’s own needs, this will vary. For early signs of aging, 1-2 treatments may successfully rid the skin of unwanted fine lines, while deep wrinkles and acne scars will benefit from 4-6 sessions. The micro-injuries caused by microneedling are stimulating versus inflaming, and patients can undergo as many treatments as they request, so long as they have allowed adequate time to pass between sessions.

What kind of conditions does ProCell microchanneling target? The treatment offers anti-aging benefits for lines and wrinkles as well as the effects of other conditions like acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. Aside from facial skin, the needle stimulation can effectively treat the appearance of cellulite, and stretch marks.

How long does it take for patients to recover from a ProCell microchanneling session? Some patients only require 90 minutes of downtime until they return to their normal activities. Patients should wait at least 90 minutes to apply anything topical to the skin, including moisturizer, sunscreen, and cosmetics. The Livra Microchanneling Solution can be applied as directed right after the procedure. It can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for redness and minor scabbing to vanish.

What do patients look like after a ProCell microchanneling appointment? Some redness, deep red flushing, and pinpoint bleeding that normally occurs after the procedure is performed, which is completely normal. Microchanneling is non-ablative, meaning it does not affect the layers of skin in a horizontal fashion by their removal. Additionally, more serious skin reactions following treatment do not equate to better results.

When are results visible following ProCell microchanneling? Patients may see an improvement in appearance of the skin within 24 hours. After 2-3 treatments, the skin will appear thicker and healthier with obvious overall improvements. Patients with skin laxity and deep wrinkles may require 6 or more treatments for patients to notice treatment benefits.

What are the contraindications of ProCell microchanneling? While many people are great candidates for ProCell microchanneling, there are certain circumstances where other treatment options should be explored. This includes immunocompromised patients, like those undergoing chemotherapy. Pregnant women are also not suitable candidates for collagen induction therapy. Other variables include the avoidance of open or infected skin (like lesions and pustules), and same-day retinoid therapy.

Can ProCell microchanneling be performed alongside other cosmetic treatments? Prior to undergoing needling, Dermaplaning can be performed, as long as it is followed with a proper disinfection of the skin. The skin should not be treated with any topical solutions for cosmetic purposes other than those approved, which typically include the stem cell-based skin care line.

Are patients required to apply ProCell microchanneling aftercare products? The process of microchanneling stimulates a natural response from the body, which then releases peptides, cytokines, and growth factors that in turn induce collagenesis. As people age, the stem cells that produce these proteins lose efficacy and decline in numbers, so microchanneling alone becomes less and less effective. With conditions like premature aging, the Livra MicroChannel Delivery Solution, post-care Cellular Renewal Serum, and Healing Accelerator become more necessary to produce long term noticeable improvement. The Livra products provide the skin with continuous potent, robust, pristine peptides, cytokines and growth factors, including between treatment sessions.

Is ProCell microchanneling painful? The procedure can cause minor discomfort that is kept at bay by optional topical anesthetics. The sensation can feel different from one patient to the next based on tolerance, but most would agree that it is more comfortable to endure than an ablative or laser procedure.

who is a candidate?

Most clients can benefit from this nonsurgical procedure as it is non-abrasive, able to treat a number of conditions, and is performed as an outpatient procedure with very low risks. Needle penetrations and accompanying skin care products activate the natural healing properties of the skin, sending them into overdrive to create the type of healing results necessary for cosmetic improvement. Through induction of the increased speed of the collagen production, clients will notice visibly softer, more flexible collagen that is produced in one’s younger years. Generally, clients are adults with preexisting skin conditions who seek an improved appearance. They do not have any skin or health conditions that prevent them from taking part in the treatment process, and understand the extent to which their aesthetic can be improved. The procedure should not be performed on pregnant women or those with a compromised immune system.

procell growth factors

The ingredients within ProCell’s proprietary growth serum factor are scientifically advanced and highly effective in rejuvenating and improving the appearance of aging skin. They are formulated using only active ingredients with abundant scientific proof of efficacy and safety. Their hero ingredient is conditioned media from laboratory culture of human bone marrow.

From conception until death, these are the materials that function as “command and control” of the healing process in all injured tissues, including the skin. These intra-marrow materials migrate from the bone marrow to all parts of the body via the bloodstream, in a similar fashion to red cells, white cells, and platelets. When they encounter injury, they function as “intelligent drug stores,” locally secreting cytokines and growth factors (bio-signals) that influence the behavior of other cells, i.e. fibroblasts, white cells, melanocytes, etc. Their output of bio-signals is highly anti-inflammatory. As these bio-signals naturally decrease in prevalence with age, common results include increased inflammation and less efficient healing. Advanced proprietary techniques are used to culture these materials in a laboratory environment in order to harvest their potent bio-signals.

When applied to the skin, the effect is as though the body’s clock was turned back to a younger period when more bio-signalling support materials existed. Only through bio-signals provided via ProCell’s proprietary products are used in these treatments. There are no cells or cell remnants. These materials are obtained from medically monitored, healthy, young paid volunteers, and grown and processed in FDA regulated and compliant facilities. The addition of more than a dozen proven actives in the two-part anti-aging system makes ProCell and ProCell MD Serum and Accelerator complete skincare products.
