How Does ProCell Work?
The ProCell micro-channel device creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin. The surrounding uninjured skin and inflammatory response then begins, leading to the formation of new collagen, elastin and other extra-cellular matrix components. After several rounds of treatment, the skin texture and appearance is improved. The addition of ProCell serums adds growth factors to further stimulate new collagen and extra-cellular matrix deposition.
​
What Are The ProCell Growth Factors?
ProCell’s serums contain growth factors derived from stem cells found in human bone marrow. ProCell’s growth-factor serums promote more youthful-appearing skin, and lead to quicker recovery times from procedures.

How Deep Does Microchanneling Go?
Depending on the area to be treated, needles can range from 0.25 mm to 3.0 mm. In general, skin on the forehead, lower eyelids, are treated at a depth of 0.25 to 1.0 mm, while the cheeks, perioral region, and and scars are treated at 1.5 to 3.0 mm.
​
How Often Should ProCell Be Performed?
Depending on the indication, treatments are every one to two weeks to monthly for a total of 4 to 6 sessions. Three weeks is typical in between sessions.
​
What Are Contraindications To Microchanneling?
If you are prone to keloids, have an active infection or active herpes, or are immunosuppressed, you should not get microneedling. If you have a history of herpes labialis, then prophylactic antiviral medication should be taken. If you have an active tan, you should not be treated. Lastly, pregnant or nursing mothers should not be treated.
