MICROCHANNELING

FAQ’S

  • Quick Answer (for skimmers):

    Microchanneling is a next-generation skin treatment—like microneedling, but more advanced, with little to no downtime.

    Full Answer (for readers who want details):

    Think of Microchanneling as microneedling, but more evolved. It’s a non-invasive, highly effective treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin—the key building blocks of healthy, youthful skin.

    Unlike treatments that rely on creating inflammation, Microchanneling works by stimulation, not irritation. This means you’ll see noticeable improvements with very little to no downtime.

    With Microchanneling, you can expect:

    • Firmer, thicker, and more resilient skin

    • A reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars

    • Improvement in uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and overall texture

    • Healthier, more radiant skin from the inside out

    And best of all? Microchanneling is safe for all skin types. It activates your body’s natural rejuvenation process, giving you long-lasting results that look fresh, natural, and glowing.

  • While both treatments create controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen, Microchanneling is more advanced. The Procell device uses a precise stamping method rather than dragging needles across the skin, which means:

    • More consistent results

    • Less irritation and downtime

    • Enhanced delivery of professional-grade serums

    • A gentler, more comfortable experience

    Also, LIVRA MD growth factor serums are used during your service and are designed to amplify your results. Two growth factor stem cell serums are also provided as aftercare.

  • A numbing cream is applied pre-procedure to keep you comfortable. 9/10 clients do not experience any pain whatsoever.

    Some clients describe it as a very mild scratching or tingling sensation. It’s not considered painful, and treatments are quick. Some areas of the face may feel slightly more sensitive, but overall the procedure is very tolerable. A soothing serum is applied throughout the process to keep your skin comfortable.

    After your service it may feel warm or what we like to call, slightly spicy.

  • It depends on your goals and skin concerns. Many clients notice an improvement after just one session, but for best results, we recommend a series of 4–6 treatments, spaced about 4 weeks apart. This allows your skin to build collagen and achieve lasting, transformative results.

  • ProCell Microchanneling Therapies are absolutely safe and side effects are uncommon. It is the only microneedling treatment safe for all skin types.

  • You’ll likely notice an instant glow within the first week. As collagen and elastin production increases, your skin will continue to improve for weeks to months after each treatment. The most dramatic results are seen after completing a treatment series.

  • Appointments last anywhere between 1.5 to 2 hours. The appointment includes a cleanse, numbing cream application, a hydration/repair mask, and we end the appointment with red light therapy.

  • Yes! Microchanneling is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Unlike some resurfacing treatments that can be risky for darker skin, Microchanneling works by stimulating your skin’s natural repair process without causing heat damage or excessive inflammation.

    • Fine lines and wrinkles

    • Acne scars and large pores

    • Uneven texture or dull skin

    • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation

    • Thinning hair (with scalp treatments)

  • One of the biggest advantages of Procell Microchanneling is the minimal recovery time. Most clients experience mild redness, warmth, or a “sunburn” sensation immediately after treatment, which typically fades within 4 to 24 hours.

    During that short recovery window:

    • Your skin may feel slightly tight or sensitive

    • You’ll want to avoid makeup, sweating, and active skincare products for the first 24 hours

    • After that, you can return to your normal routine

    Unlike traditional microneedling or more aggressive treatments, there’s little to no downtime—so you can get back to life quickly while your skin continues to improve beneath the surface.

  • To get the best results from your Microchanneling treatment, it’s important to follow a few simple steps before your visit:

    1–2 Weeks Before:

    • Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds

    • Discontinue Retinols, Retin-A, glycolic acids, and other harsh exfoliants

    • Pause chemical peels, laser treatments, or injectables in the treatment area at minimum 4 weeks before

    3–5 Days Before:

    • Stop using active skincare products that may cause sensitivity (like Vitamin C or strong acids)

    • Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil if possible, as these can thin the blood and increase the chance of pinpoint bleeding

    Day of Appointment:

    • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin

    • Stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your treatment

    • If treating the scalp, arrive with clean, product-free hair

    Following these steps helps ensure your skin is in the best condition to receive treatment, so you can enjoy optimal results with minimal irritation.

  • After your Microchanneling treatment, your skin will be in its healing and rejuvenation phase. Following proper aftercare is essential to maximize your results and protect your skin:

    First 12 Hours:

    • Do not apply makeup, sunscreen, or skincare products

    • Avoid sweating, swimming, saunas, and exercise

    • Stay out of direct sun exposure

    Days 2–7:

    • Begin using the Livra MD Aftercare Serums as directed to boost your skin’s healing and collagen production

    • Avoid exfoliants, Retinols, acids, or harsh skincare products

    • Keep your skin hydrated with gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer if needed

    • Always wear a broad-spectrum SPF when outdoors and a hat or a visor.

    • You can reintroduce gentle skincare/barrier repair products after 72-hours.

    Ongoing:

    • Protect your investment by keeping up with consistent sun protection and a healthy skincare routine

    • Follow your treatment plan—results build with each session!

    With proper aftercare, you’ll notice your skin becoming smoother, firmer, and more radiant in the weeks following treatment.
