Micro-Channeling, is a minimally-invasive, ANTI-AGING treatment designed to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, loose or sagging skin, acne scars, hyper-pigmentation, stretch marks on the face and body, and non-inflamed rosacea. A specially-designed device using creates micro-channels in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing system.
Micro-Channeling is similar to aerating the lawn, with home care being the fertilizer! To optimize results from a micro-channeling facial, home care is a crucial component.
The goal of micro-channeling is to trigger a wound response to the skin. Several factors need to be considered, including skin type, skin conditions, and skin density, when considering this anti-aging treatment. Growth factor production, such as collagen and elastin, is accelerated to heal the wound. These growth factors encourage cells to differentiate, proliferate, and grow, creating new, youthful skin.
Micro-channeling stimulates these vital skin components, but also forms micro-channels through the epidermis, the top layer of the skin, to allow topical products to penetrate more effectively. The days following treatment are most beneficial in delivery of serums and creams within the skin.
There are a few requirements prior to treatment regarding discontinued use of skin products, and guidelines to follow post-treatment for just a few days. A consultation with your aesthetician will determine how many treatments will bring your skin to the desired results you are looking for.
With micro-channeling, your skin will have a fuller, more youthful appearance, with a smoother texture and a radiant complexion.
