Procell™ Microchanneling is an advanced collagen-induction treatment that creates precise microchannels in the skin to trigger regeneration while infusing potent stem-cell–derived growth factors for accelerated repair, smoother texture, and long-term rejuvenation.
FAQ
Procell Microchanneling is an advanced collagen-induction treatment that uses fine, precision-controlled microfilament tips to create uniform microchannels in the epidermis. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing cascade and dramatically enhance the penetration of Procell’s professional Stem Cell & Growth Factor Serums, resulting in smoother, firmer, more radiant skin.
Procell™ Microchanneling uses ultra-fine, disposable microfilaments in a vertical stamping motion to create precise, uniform microchannels in the epidermis. These controlled micro-injuries activate keratinocytes, the primary epidermal cells, which release growth factors and cytokines. These chemical messengers communicate with fibroblasts in the dermis, instructing them to produce collagen types I and III, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
This cascade of cellular signaling:
- Stimulates neo-collagenesis, improving skin firmness, elasticity, and dermal density
- Promotes dermal remodeling, reducing fine lines, acne scarring, and improving overall texture
- Generates a transient delivery window (microchannels remain open for up to 90 minutes), allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeply
Procell™’s stem cell-derived Delivery Serum enhances these effects:
- Contains human bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cell growth factors, antioxidants, and peptides that re-teach older or damaged cells to behave more youthfully
- Delivers regenerative cytokines, the “messengers” that guide skin to repair quickly and correctly, and DNA repair enzymes to reduce cellular damage and encourage healthy skin cell replication
- Amplifies cell-to-cell communication, strengthens the extracellular matrix (the skin’s supportive framework of collagen, elastin, and other molecules that provides structure, elasticity, and hydration while guiding cell repair and regeneration), reduces inflammation, and supports the skins barrier
Together, microchanneling and the bioactive serum don’t just stimulate collagen—they supply the exact biological signals the skin needs to repair, rebuild, and rejuvenate, resulting in accelerated healing, improved skin structure, and more youthful, resilient skin.
Procell addresses common concerns such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scarring & textural irregularities
- Enlarged pores
- Dull, uneven tone
- Sun damage & pigmentation
- Crepey or thinning skin
- Stretch marks (excellent body option)
- Mild laxity / loss of firmness
- Early signs of ageing
- Hyperpigmentation
While both treatments aim to stimulate collagen and skin repair, Procell™ Microchanneling offers several scientific advantages over traditional microneedling:
- Precision Stamping vs Rolling: Microchanneling uses a stamping method that delivers uniform, consistent microchannels, minimizing trauma and reducing risk of epidermal tearing, bruising, or hyperpigmentation.
- Optimized Healing: Controlled micro-injuries trigger more efficient fibroblast activation and collagen synthesis compared to the rolling technique.
- Enhanced Serum Delivery: The stamping method allows deeper, more direct penetration of growth factors and DNA repair enzymes into the dermis for superior rejuvenation results.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike traditional microneedling, the epidermis is less disrupted, leading to faster recovery and lower risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
While microneedling was once avoided over active lesions, recent research, including a 2023 Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology study, shows that controlled microchanneling can improve inflammatory acne by regulating the skin’s immune response and supporting repair.
Procell™ microchanneling is uniquely suited for acne-prone skin:
- Delivers vertical, uniform channels with minimal trauma
- Helps calm inflammation and reduce redness
- Strengthens the skin’s barrier function
- Increases oxygenation and cellular turnover
- Enhances penetration of anti-inflammatory and regenerative serums
- Breaks the chronic cycle of congestion and delayed healing
Why the Procell Serum Helps:
- Contains DNA repair enzymes that reduce cellular damage and support skin recovery
- Includes bioactive stem-cell derived growth factors and antioxidants to accelerate healing
- Provides a regenerative, anti-inflammatory mix that actively assists in clearing acne and repairing post-inflammatory damage
Microchanneling is not a replacement for acne-clearing protocols, but a supportive treatment that can be safely integrated once inflammation is managed — or even during mild breakout phases under professional guidance.
Most clients find Procell very tolerable. Sensations may include:
- The device is pressed in a precise vertical stamping motion to create microchannels in the skin
- You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation, often described as a sunburn-like feeling
- Stamping over bony prominences may feel more sensitive than other areas
- Some areas may feel slightly tender, but there is no scraping, dragging, or harsh pressure
Numbing cream can be applied to minimise discomfort if needed.
- Immediate glow, plumpness, and skin tightness
- Mild redness that can last 4–24 hours, depending on treatment depth
- Light swelling in some areas, typically resolving within a day
- Light dryness or flaking over 2–3 days as cellular turnover increases
A sunburn-like warmth or tingling may persist for a few hours post-treatment - Small petechiae (tiny red or purple spots caused by minor capillary bleeding) may appear where microchannels were created
- Purging may occur in acne-prone skin as underlying congestion is brought to the surface and the skin begins its natural repair process
Individual responses vary, but effects are temporary and usually resolve quickly. A more comprehensive Pre and Post Care Document is provided following treatment.
- Minimal; most clients can resume normal activities immediately
- Deeper treatment depths may result in a few days of mild sensitivity or dryness
- Avoid heat, saunas, and heavy exercise for the first 24 hours
- Minimise direct sun exposure for the duration of your treatment program to prevent pigmentation changes and unwanted inflammation
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare for 5 days
- Avoid retinoids, acids, vitamin C for 5 days
- Apply SPF 50 daily
- Avoid picking or squeezing breakouts
- Stay hydrated to support collagen production
- Skin Rejuvenation / Fine Lines / Texture: 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
- Acne Scarring / Deeper Concerns: 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
- Maintenance / Long-Term Results: Every 3–6 months
0–24 Hours:
- Mild redness and a sunburn-like warmth may be present
- Skin may feel slightly tight
24–72 Hours:
- Tiny red or purple spots (petechiae) can appear
- Light dryness or flaking may occur
- Acne-prone skin may experience purging as the skin detoxifies
3–7 Days:
- Redness and warmth subside
- Skin begins to feel smoother and softer
Ongoing (2–6 Weeks):
- Firmer, more elastic skin
- Improved texture, tone, and overall skin quality
- Collagen and elastin remodeling continues for long-term rejuvenation
Note: Results are progressive and cumulative; one session will yield visible results however will not achieve full skin transformation. Lifestyle, genetics, the severity of the indications being treated, adherence to minimising sun exposure, age, skincare, and session number all influence outcomes. Clients receive personalised recommendations to support skin health, immunity and to maximise antioxidant intake.

Introducing Procell Microchanneling™, a cutting-edge biotechnology treatment offering minimally invasive skin rejuvenation. Using fine needles to create microchannels, this procedure stimulates collagen production and enhances serum absorption, effectively reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture.
During a single treatment, hundreds of thousands of microchannels are created, triggering an inflammatory healing process that initiates new collagen formation. Over time, this repeated healing process improves skin texture and overall appearance.
Procell Microchanneling serum contains stem cell-derived growth factors and cytokines, supporting cellular renewal and amplifying cell-to-cell communication for enhanced skin regeneration.
Compared to traditional micro-needling, Microchanneling utilises a stamp-like device with uniform wire-based filaments, providing less abrasive treatment and allowing for correction of operator errors. In contrast, micro-needling involves a handheld device that glides across the skin, with results subject to operator technique.
Key features include:
- The MD Serum, containing double the concentration of growth factors compared to the PRO Serum, for maximised results.
- Optional numbing cream for a more comfortable experience.
- Each session includes skin cleansing, exfoliation, LED Light Therapy, and a Procell Sheet Mask to take home.
After Treatment Expectations:
Following the treatment, expect a 90-minute downtime period during which your skin’s channels remain open. Avoid applying makeup, sunscreen, or moisturiser, touching your skin, or using your face during this time. You may experience a light sunburn-like appearance for about 24-48 hours post treatment.
- Suitable for all skin types
- Pre and Post Care Available upon booking
- Skin Preparation Required
- Downtime May Be Required (Varies depending on your skin type and individual response)
- 3 Sessions Recommend, Bundle Prices Available
