What’s in the serum?
ProCell’s Microchannel Delivery Serum contains growth factors in a hyaluronic acid suspension. These elements are naturally-occurring in the human body. There are no human, animal, or plant cells, DNA, blood, or any other foreign substances. The product has been used safely and effectively for over a decade. The serum is applied during treatment for maximum absorption.
Is there really no downtime?
It is normal for treatments to result in some skin irritation, especially for clients with more sensitive skin. Skin can remain pink to light red for 60-90 minutes post treatment. Always wait a minimum of 90 minutes before putting anything else on the skin. Keep in mind however, that as your skin may be more sensitive than usual for several days after the treatment. It is recommended to avoid active acids, retinol, and strong topicals for 3 days before and after treatment.
Any contraindications?
If you have any underlying condition that significantly impairs your immune system, it is a good idea to avoid microchanneling. Examples include, but are not limited to, active radiation or chemotherapy, uncontrolled diabetes, chronic inflammatory skin disease, Accutane in the past 2 years, hemophilia or similar bleeding disorder. Also anyone with stainless steel allergies should not do this treatment. We also discourage treatments for those who are pregnant or nursing.
What’s the recommended aftercare?
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 effective. Because of premature aging, the Microchannel Delivery Serum and the post care Cellular Renewal Serum and Healing Accelerator Serum become more vital to improvement. Use of the ProCell aftercare products ensure the skin continuously receives potent, robust, pristine peptides, cytokines and growth factors even in between treatments. Microchanneling without serums is like exercising without dieting. Results can be good with microchanneling only, but are significantly amplified with serums. Post care is always recommended for optimal results.
