What is Microchanneling?
MicroChanneling is an evolved form of microneedling! It is a noninvasive procedure that works by creating invisible channels in your skin that trigger a cascade of natural rejuvenation. As they heal, these channels produce new, high-quality collagen and elastin, and other building blocks of healthy skin. By stimulating the outermost layers of the skin, MicroChanneling can help your body start this process without penetrating into living tissue.
How does PROCELL™ Differ from traditional microneedling?
Traditional microneedling technologies such as pens and rollers work by creating damage to the skin with small needles. Meanwhile, Procell™ relies on the gentle application of tiny micro-filaments to stimulate the skin with little actual damage. The Livra Microchannel Delivery Solution used during treatment as well as the included aftercare products work to enhance the skin rejuvenation process.

Preparing for your microchanneling Treatment.
- If you have ever had a cold sore or get them frequently, you must take Acyclovir or Valcyclovir starting two days prior to your MicroChanneling appointment will reduce the likelihood of a breakout due to your treatment. If not, we can not treat your lips.
- Discontinue Retinol or Tretinoin 7 days before and after MicroChanneling appointment.
- For your first treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling, and a tight, warm sensation for between 4 -24 hours.
- Arrive to your appointment without makeup on, and with a clean, (and for men a clean shaven) face.
- If you’ve had Botox, Fillers or Threads injected you must wait at least two weeks before getting MicroChanneling.

HOw Long before I can expect to see results?
Though Neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen) can take several weeks, it is not abnormal to notice an improvement in the quality and appearance of your skin within the first 24 hours. After 2-3 treatments a thicker more robust, collagen filled cellular matrix will produce more consistent and noticeable improvement. And 6 or more treatments may be recommended for scarring, laxity and wrinkles.
Do I have to use the Microchanneling aftercare serum?
MicroChanneling stimulates the body to release peptides, cytokines, and growth factors that induce collagen production. As you get older, the stem cells that produce these vital proteins lose efficacy and decline in population, so MicroChanneling alone becomes less and less effective.
Because of the premature aging the MicroChannel Delivery Serum, and the post care Cellular Renewal Serum, and Healing Accelerator become more necessary to produce improvement. Use of Procell products ensure the skin is continuously receives potent, robust, pristine peptides, cytokines, and growth factors even in between treatments.
Think of diet and exercise - MicroChanneling without serums is like exercising without dieting. Results will be good with MicroChanneling, and great with serums!
