What is a Microchanneling?

Also known as the next generation of micro-needling, microchanneling is a non-invasive procedure designed to stimulate your body’s natural ability to generate collagen, elastin and other building blocks of healthy skin. By stimulating the outermost layers of the skin, microchanneling can help your jump-start your body’s natural healing processes. Increases in collagen and communication levels in the skin facilitate thicker, younger looking skin with minimal downtime.

Microchanneling involves a 3-stage process:

1. Micro-needles create micro-channels – Precision micro-needles are tapped into the skin creating uniform micro-channels. A single pass over the face will create hundreds of thousands of micro-channels.
2. Stimulation of a healing response – Each micro-channel is surrounded by healthy tissue, which enhances the healing process. In response to each micro-injury, an inflammatory healing process begins which initiates the formation of new collagen.
3. Smoothing of Skin – Over time, the repeated healing process will build new collagen, creating healthier skin, improving the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin.

Microchanneling can also be combined with hydrodermabrasion, dermaplaning, and corrective skin peels for increased results.
