IMPORTANT INFORMATION

​

1. If you get cold sores regularly, taking acyclovir or valcyclovir starting one day prior to your microchanneling will reduce the likelihood of a breakout due to your treatment.

 

2. Discontinue retinol (2% or higher) or tretinoin at least 3 days prior to treatment.

 

3. For your first treatment, (and treatments at .25mm in general) numbing cream is typically not necessary, and you can expect mild redness and swelling, and a tight, warm sensation for between 4 & 24 hours.

 

4. Later treatments with longer micro-filament lengths may require topical numbing cream, and can produce redness and swelling along with tiny flecks of redness for between 4 & 72 hours.

 

5. If your liver, kidneys and immune system are healthy, taking an NSAID such as Ibuprofen 2 hours before treatment can reduce discomfort.

 

7. If you are being treated for hair loss, please arrive at the office with the shortest haircut possible and clean hair. Please do not apply sprays or gels.

 

8. If you are being treated with PRP or PRF drink an extra 24-32 oz of water for two to three days prior to treatment.

 

6. If possible, please arrive at the office without makeup on, and with a clean, (and for men a clean shaven) face.

 

7. If you’ve had Botox, Fillers or Threads injected you must wait at least two weeks before treatment. And you must be satisfied with the results before we can offer you any other treatments.

Microchanneling Post-Care Instructions

​

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 skinduring the wound-healing cascade that an aging immune system no longer provides. This is why we recover and heal slower as we get older. A perfect balance of gentle stimulation for your skin to youthfully heal and repair itself, complimented by the infusion of nutritious and vital factors responsible for helping you produce... your best skin!

​

Here are a few things to remember after your treatment while those micro-channels are healing :

• ​

• DO NOT apply anything to treated areas for 90 minutes after your treatment is finished unless it is provided to you by your certified 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.

• Hydrate and moisturize your skin constantly to achieve the best results!

• Never let your skin dry out! If you experience excessive dryness in the days or weeks following your treatment, you can purchase additional post-treatment

• hydrating masks through your certified ProCell provider!

• Water is the least expensive and most powerful advantage you can add to your daily skincare routine!
