In a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, microchanneling activates your skin’s natural healing process to improve its appearance and health. This treatment involves creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin using a specialized tool with fine needles. By causing these micro-injuries, collagen and elastin are produced, which keep skin elasticity and firmness. Microchanneling can address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores. It is safe for use on multiple areas, such as the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, and is suitable for most skin types.

In the first few months after treatment, improvements are common, followed by continued improvements as collagen production increases.

Microchanneling is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin concerns, such as lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven skin tone. There is no need to worry about the safety of this product for most types of skin, however, it may not be suitable for people suffering from active skin infections, those with medical conditions or those taking blood thinner medications. A consultation is recommended to determine if this treatment is proper for you.
Results typically begin to appear within one to two weeks after treatment. However, because collagen production continues, you may notice further improvements over the next three to six months.
With proper skincare and maintenance treatments, results can last several months. A regular schedule of sessions is recommended to maintain and enhance your results.
Microchanneling has minimal downtime. There may be slight redness or sensitivity similar to the feeling of a sunburn for the first 24–48 hours post-treatment. These effects usually subside quickly.
Before treatment, avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours. After treatment, use gentle skincare products, apply sunscreen, and avoid strenuous exercise, makeup, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours to allow the skin to heal properly.
During the procedure, a trained provider will use a specialized tool to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. An average treatment lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. The majority of individuals report mild discomfort, however, a topical numbing agent may be applied to enhance comfort.
