What to Expect

Before Your Treatment:

We start with a personalized skin consultation with one of our aestheticians. Together, we’ll assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. On the day of your microchanneling session, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. A numbing cream may be applied to ensure maximum comfort, although most patients find microchanneling to be a relatively comfortable procedure due to its minimally invasive nature.

During the Procedure:

Our provider will use a specialized microchanneling device equipped with ultra-fine, hair-like filaments to create uniform microchannels across the treatment area. These tiny channels stimulate your skin’s natural healing response and enhance the absorption of professional-grade serums and growth factors applied during the session. Unlike microneedling, which we also offer, microchanneling does not involve needles. The ultra-fine filaments are tapped into your skin to create microchannels, stimulating collagen production. Most patients describe the sensation as light pressure with a mild, tingling feeling.

After Your Treatment:

Immediately after the session, your skin may appear slightly pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal response and usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. You may also experience mild tightness or sensitivity, which resolves quickly. Post-treatment, your provider will apply soothing serums to calm the skin and support the healing process.

Recovery and Results:

One of the key benefits of microchanneling is minimal downtime. You can typically resume normal activities the same day or the following morning, though it’s recommended to avoid heavy exercise, direct sun exposure, or applying makeup for at least 24 hours.

Results will begin to appear within a few days as your skin starts to heal and produce more collagen. Over the next 2 to 4 weeks, you’ll notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness, with continued enhancement over time.

Your skin will feel smoother, look more radiant, and appear firmer with fewer fine lines, wrinkles, and imperfections.
