procell microchanneling recovery plan!
Microchanneling temporarily creates thousands and thousands of micro-channels into the skin to be repaired by new healthy collagen. It also allows topical solutions to absorb 200%-300% more effectively into the living skin below. During treatment, serums, applied (containing naturally-derived growth factors, peptides, and cytokines) restore and increase biological communication within the skin during the wound-healing cascade that an aging immune system no longer provides. A perfect balance of gentle stimulation for your skin to youthfully heal + repair itself, complimented by the infusion of nutritious and vital factors responsible for helping you produce…your best skin!
Things your skin may be feeling that are signs the treatment is working!
Tightness, itchiness, warmth, sensitivity, general light sunburn appearance to the skin, redness, etc. These are all great indications that your skin is healing and producing youthful collagen.
immediately after your treatment while those micro-channels are healing:
DO NOT apply anything to the treated areas for 90 minutes after your treatment is finished, unless it is provided by your Procell provider with instructions.
DO NOT touch treated areas with your hands, cellphone or any other foreign objects for 90 minutes after your treatment is finished. Bacteria from these sources can cause irritation or possible acne breakout.
Avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours post treatment. You may apply sunscreen 90 minutes after your treatment is finished.
Post Care Week 1 for Microchanneling
NO Retinols or Alpha Hydroxy Acids for 1 week
Use a gentle cleanser and Moisturizer for Days 1-3 as part of your skincare routine.
You will use the Post Care Cellular Renewal + Healing Accelerator Serums at home to enhance results. These serums are included with microchanneling and will be given to you at end of treatment. Starting 24 hours after treatment. Use these products as a nighttime serum. Throughly cleanse treated areas and apply Cellular Renewal Serum (Step 1) Wait 30 seconds and apply healing accelerator serum (Step 2) Wait for serums to full absorb ( 1 minute) and can apply nighttime moisturizer. Use these serums until they run out- close to a months supply.
On day 6 or 7 we recommend using a Manuel Exfoliation Scrub for face to remove texture and help purge some dead skin cels. (Don’t have a facial scrub- we can give you a sample of Glo Skin Beauty to try, just ask)
Post Care Week 2 for Microchanneling
You can start using your normal skincare routine again; but take it slowly and still avoid AHAs.
Continue with your Post Care Cellular Renewal + Healing Accelerator Serums at home to enhance results as part of your nighttime routine.
Post Care Week 3 for Microchanneling
Day 14/15 -2 weeks post the treatment we recommend scheduling a Happy Hour Facial, this is an express peel done in studio that will use either a 20% Lactic Acid or 30% Glycolic Acid to help remove any remaining purged skin and texture to reveal a more brighter and radiant skin. The Esthetician will decide what peel to use on your skin.
Continue with your normal skincare routine
Continue with your Post Care Cellular Renewal + Healing Accelerator Serums
Post Care week 4 for microchanneling
