Microchanneling
Microchanneling is a skin-rejuvenating procedure in which tiny needles create punctures in the top layer of skin with the goal of improving overall texture and appearance. Microchanneling is relatively risk-free and can have real benefits for your skin. It is a simple and fast method for safely treating fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.

Is This Treatment For You?
Because the epidermis remains intact, the procedure can be repeated safely and is also suited to regions where laser treatments and deep chemicals peels are not typically performed, such as around the eyes and mouth, hands, and chest. This makes microchanneling a preferred treatment for nearly everyone. Fitzpatrick skin types V-VI should consult with an experienced practitioner prior to receiving medical grade microchanneling to avoid triggering a pigment response in the skin.
Microchanneling vs Microneedling
Microchanneling
- Microneedling evolved
Microchanneling is a noninvasive treatment that activates your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production by gently stimulating its outer layers without penetrating living tissue. Scientific evidence supports its ability to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, age-spots, sun spots, and stretch marks.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a traditional collagen-induction treatment that uses a motorized pen with fine metal needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries activate the skin’s natural repair process, leading to gradual collagen and elastin production. Because this technique relies on mechanical injury to stimulate results, it often involves increased inflammation, sensitivity, and downtime compared to newer technologies.

How Does It Work?
Microchanneling is a method of triggering the repair response of skin. The needles on a microchanneling device puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture of the needle creates a microscopic channel, or empty space. The skin recognizes this channel as tissue loss and begins to produce collagen and elastin to “fill” the channel.
Collagen, is the main structural protein in skin responsible for sustaining skin integrity, firmness, and elasticity. The result is an improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks. Sometimes, we will combine microneedling with topical formulas, Lasers, IPL, Oxygen dome and LED Lights.

-
In-office Microchanneling treatments can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending upon the area being treated. The length of the needle will affect whether there will be any discomfort or bleeding. Deeper Microchanneling is generally performed with a numbing cream to maximize patient comfort. The sensation is often described as feeling “prickly”. Immediately after treatment, your skin may experience redness and minor swelling. These effects generally subside within a day, but can take up to one week to fully resolve. Since your skin is more sensitive following a procedure, it is highly recommended to avoid sun exposure immediately after. Additionally, your skincare professional will likely advise you to avoid wearing makeup 48-36 hours following the treatment.
-
As with most in-office procedures, microchanneling will increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. It is best to schedule microchanneling sessions during times when sun exposure will be minimal.
When scheduling your procedure, it is important to remember that while you may see results after one session, it is generally recommended that microchanneling be completed in a series of 3-6 treatments every 4-6 weeks, followed by a maintenance program. The frequency of treatments depends upon the desired effect and needle length used. Your skincare professional will work with you to design a treatment plan specifically for your skin.
