What is Microchanneling?

---

MicroChanneling is an evolved form of microneedling!  It is a  noninvasive procedure also known, as Collagen Induction Therapy, it 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.

Traditional microneedling technologies such as pens and rollers work by creating damage to the skin with small needles. Meanwhile, Procell™, Collagen Induction Therapy,  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.

Though Neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen) Microchanneling 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 acne scarring, laxity and wrinkles. 

Procell MicroChanneling can last anywhere from 2 to 10 years, depending on clients age and lifestyle! 

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!
