Microchanneling After-Care Guide
Essential instructions for optimal healing and results
Understanding Your Treatment
Microchanneling temporarily creates thousands and thousands of micro-channels into the skin to be repaired by new healthy collagen. It also allows topical solutions to absorb 200%-300% more effectively into the living skin below.
During treatment, serums applied (containing naturally-derived growth factors, peptides and cytokines) restore and increase biological communication within the skin during the wound-healing cascade that an aging immune system no longer provides.
This is why we recover and heal slower as we get older. A perfect balance of gentle stimulation for your skin to youthfully heal and repair itself, complimented by the infusion of nutritious and vital factors responsible for helping you produce... your best skin!
Essential After-Care Instructions
Important Warnings
DO NOT Touch Treated Areas
Do not touch treated areas with your hands, cellphone or any other foreign objects for 90 minutes after your treatment is finished! Bacteria from these sources can cause irritation or possible acne breakout.
DO NOT Apply Products
DO NOT apply anything to treated areas for 90 minutes after your treatment is finished unless it is provided to you by your certified ProCell provider with instructions.
Care Instructions
Sun Protection
Avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours post treatment. You may apply sunscreen 90 minutes after your treatment is finished.
Hydration Instructions
Hydrate and moisturize your skin constantly to achieve the best results! Never let your skin dry out! If you experience excessive dryness in the days or weeks following your treatment, you can purchase additional post-treatment hydrating masks through your certified ProCell provider!
Water Is Key!
Water is the least expensive and most powerful advantage you can add to your daily skincare routine!
Signs Your Treatment Is Working
Things your skin may be feeling that are signs the treatment is working!
Tightness
A feeling of skin tautness indicates collagen production is beginning. This is a positive sign that your skin is responding to the treatment.
Itchiness
Mild itching is a sign of skin cell regeneration and healing. Avoid scratching and apply approved moisturizer if needed.
Warmth
Increased blood flow to the area promotes healing and nutrient delivery. This warmth is part of your body's natural healing response.
Sensitivity
Temporary sensitivity indicates your skin is responding to treatment. This will subside as healing progresses.
Mild Sunburn Look
This appearance shows increased circulation and cellular activity. The skin is actively working to repair itself.
Redness
Temporary redness indicates inflammation that triggers healing. This is a normal part of the skin's repair process.
These are all great indications that your skin is healing and producing youthful collagen!
