Elevate Your Skin with Microchanneling: A Premium Choice
Microneedling has been a popular procedure used to achieve smoother and more youthful-looking skin. However, a newer and more advanced technique called microchanneling has emerged, promising better results and a more comfortable experience. Microchanneling is considered a superior option compared to traditional microneedling.
Microneedling and Microchanneling Differences
Microneedling and Microchanneling are two different techniques used for skin treatment. Both stimulate the production of collagen. Microneedling involves a pen-style tool with tiny needles that glide over the skin, while Microchanneling is an advanced form of microneedling that uses shorter needles that do not go as deep and are stamped onto the skin causing less inflammation and reducing the risk of infection.
During a session, a Microchanneling device is used to stamp onto the skin. This stamping technique creates mild channels in the top layer of the skin, with controlled depth and spacing to target specific skin concerns accurately. This results in a more customized and effective approach. After creating the channels, a pure stem cell serum is applied to the area to help aid in the restoration process. The target of the treatment is the outer layer of the skin rather than penetrating living tissue which occurs during microneedling. This allows for quicker healing.
Benefits of Microchanneling
Reduced Discomfort
Unlike traditional microneedling, microchanneling is known for its minimal discomfort. The fine needles used in the process reduce the sensation of pain and discomfort. This makes microchanneling a more tolerable option for individuals with sensitive skin or a lower pain threshold.
Enhanced Absorption of Topical Products
One of the key advantages of microchanneling is its ability to enhance the absorption of topical products. The microchannels created during the procedure act as pathways for skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.
Less Damage to Skin
Microchanneling causes much less dragging, tearing, and pore enlargement than microneedling so there is less damage to the skin.
Faster Healing Time
Microchanneling promotes quicker healing compared to microneedling. The fine needles cause minimal trauma to the skin, leading to a faster recovery period. Clients can often resume their regular skincare routine within 60-90 minutes, making microchanneling a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Customizable Treatment Plans
Microchanneling allows skin care professionals to tailor treatment plans according to individual skin concerns. The depth and density of the microchannels can be adjusted based on specific needs, offering a personalized approach.
Treatable Conditions
Microchanneling addresses various skin conditions, including:
- fine lines
- wrinkles
- surgical and acne scars
- stretch marks
- rosacea
- age spots
- tightens loose skin
- enables skin rejuvenation
- improves skin appearance
- pigmentation disorders
Treatment Frequency: What to Expect
The number of microchanneling or microneedling treatments needed can vary depending on individual skin concerns, goals, and the severity of the condition being treated. Both microchanneling and microneedling aim to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and address specific skin issues. Here’s a general guideline, but it’s crucial to consult with a skincare professional for personalized advice. For patients with mild skincare concerns, 1-2 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Moderate concerns: 4-6 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
Both microchanneling and microneedling involve a series of sessions to achieve optimal results. The interval between treatments allows the skin to heal and regenerate collagen. It’s essential to note that individual responses to the treatments can vary, and some individuals may see improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require more treatments to achieve their desired results.
Additionally, maintenance sessions may be recommended periodically to sustain the benefits of microchanneling or microneedling over time. Skincare professionals will assess your skin during consultations and adjust the treatment plan based on your skin’s response and evolving needs.
Spirited Aesthetics Microchannels PRF, and AfterGlo Serum
At Spirited Aesthetics, PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is used when doing microchanneling treatments, so that the therapy outcomes can be organically improved. PRF is applied to the skin to boost and strengthen the body’s natural capacity to repair itself. This method attempts to rejuvenate the look of the skin by making it smoother, firmer, and more like it was when you were younger.
Additionally, during your microchanneling treatment, PDO AfterGlo™ Serum is applied to the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles while improving skin complexion. PDO AfterGlo™ is the first-of-its-kind skin booster with the equivalent of 1,000 PDO threads in powder form suspended in Hyaluronic Acid that when micro-needled, micro-channeled, or used with laser devices can help tighten and brighten the skin while providing a radiant and long-lasting glow.
While microneedling has been a staple in the skincare industry, microchanneling emerges as a cutting-edge alternative that takes the concept of skin rejuvenation to new heights. With its precision, reduced discomfort, enhanced product absorption, faster healing times, and customizable treatment plans, microchanneling stands out as a superior option for those seeking advanced skincare solutions. As technology continues to advance, embracing innovative techniques like microchanneling is a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of skincare, promising clients a more refined and effective experience.
