Microchanneling is a virtual no downtime treatment that transforms the look and feel of aging or damaged skin to a clearer, smoother, and healthier looking skin.
During the microchanneling treatment, tiny micro-injuries are created. The micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing response, which leads to creation of new collagen and elastin. It is great for treating:
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Rosacea
- Acne Scars
- Stretch Marks
- Hyperpigmentation,
- Age and Sun Spots
- Melasma
- Skin Laxity
How Microchanneling Facials Work
The microchanneling facial for skin rejuvenation is a three-stage process:
Microchanneling Treatment
Tiny needles are tapped into the skin creating uniform micro-channels. A single pass over the face will create thousands of micro-channels. These channels absorb the customized growth factor or exosome treatment solution chosen.
Initial Healing Response
The concentrated treatment solution starts to work immediately nourishing skin and boosting the body’s natural healing response. Each micro-channel created is surrounded by healthy tissue, which helps accelerate the healing process.
Skin Rejuvenation
Over four to six weeks, new collagen and elastin are created, improving skin health, improving skin surface texture, and improving the overall appearance of the skin.
What to Expect After a Microchanneling Facial
Following treatment, you may have slight redness, and you may feel like you have a light sunburn. These irritations fade over the next few hours.
