Microneedling & Microchanneling:
Smoother, firmer, clearer skin, with results that keep building
Acne scars that won’t fade, dark marks, fine lines, large pores, skin that just looks tired: you’ve tried the serums and facials, and you’re ready for something that works at a deeper level.
Microneedling and Procell Microchanneling are our most advanced collagen-building treatments. Both work with your body’s natural healing process to renew your skin from within. We’ll help you choose the one that best fits your skin, your goals and your schedule.
How They Work
Both treatments create tiny, controlled channels in the skin. Your body responds by producing fresh collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin smooth, firm and youthful. The channels also let serums absorb deeper, so your skin gets more from every treatment.
Microneedling: Ultra-fine needles create micro-channels across the skin, reaching deeper layers to stimulate strong collagen production. It’s ideal for:
-
Acne scars, especially deeper or pitted scarring
-
Loss of firmness and elasticity
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Uneven texture and enlarged pores
Procell Microchanneling: A precise stamping technique creates evenly spaced channels, paired with Procell’s growth factor serum to boost renewal. It’s ideal for:
-
Sensitive skin or first-time clients
-
Dullness, uneven tone and hyperpigmentation
-
Fine lines, mild scarring and texture
-
Anyone who wants great results with minimal irritation and quicker recovery
-
Safe for All Skin Tones: Many advanced treatments, like some lasers and aggressive peels, carry a higher risk of dark spots on melanin-rich skin. Microneedling and microchanneling work without heat or harsh chemicals, which makes them excellent options for brown and Black skin.
What to Expect
Before your treatment: We start with a skin analysis and a review of your health history to make sure the treatment is right for you. You may be asked to pause certain products, like retinols or exfoliating acids, a few days beforehand.
During your treatment: Your skin is cleansed and prepped, and numbing cream is applied for comfort. Most clients feel only light pressure or a mild prickly sensation. We then treat your face and finish with soothing, skin-nourishing serums.
After your treatment: Your skin may look pink, like a mild sunburn, for a day or two. Most clients return to normal activities the next day. You’ll go home with detailed aftercare instructions to protect and support your results.
Your results: Many clients notice a fresh glow within days. Collagen keeps rebuilding for weeks after each session, so your best results build over the course of your series.
Why a Series?
Collagen is built over time, not overnight. A series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart gives the most dramatic and longest-lasting improvement, especially for acne scarring, pigmentation and fine lines. After your series, maintenance treatments every few months help keep your skin looking its best.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between microneedling and microchanneling?
Both stimulate collagen to renew your skin. Microneedling reaches a bit deeper and is great for significant scarring and firmness. Procell Microchanneling uses a precise stamping technique and growth factor serum for a gentler treatment with less irritation and quicker recovery.
Does it hurt?
We apply numbing cream before treatment, so most clients feel only light pressure or a mild prickly sensation. Comfort is always a priority.
How soon will I see results?
Most clients see a healthy glow within a week. Improvements in scarring, texture and fine lines develop gradually as new collagen forms over your series.
Is there downtime?
Very little. Expect mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, for 1 to 2 days with microchanneling and 1 to 3 days with microneedling. Most clients return to work the next day.
Can I wear makeup afterward?
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours so your skin can heal and absorb the treatment serums.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Because these treatments don’t use heat or harsh chemicals, they carry a lower risk of hyperpigmentation than many lasers and peels, making them excellent choices for melanin-rich skin.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients get the best results with a series of 3 to 4 treatments, spaced about 4 weeks apart. Deeper scarring may need more. We’ll create a plan for you during your consultation.
Who should not get this treatment?
These treatments may not be right for you if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active breakout, cold sore or skin infection, have used Accutane in the past 6 months, or have certain medical conditions. We’ll review your health history before treatment.
How much does the treatment cost Microneedling and Microchanneling cost?
For a single treatment, $250. For a series of 3 to 4, $200 per treatment (save up to $200).
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes. Microneedling and microchanneling pair beautifully with our Acne Clear-Up and Hyperpigmentation “Be Gone” programs and professional home-care products. We’ll build a complete plan for your skin.
