For generations, beauty lovers have sought ways to improve their skin with fewer wrinkles, lesser blemishes, and an overall more youthful appearance. In the past, achieving such lofty ideals for flawless skin had seemed an impossibility. But today we live in a different world.

Cosmetic advancements have made it possible for those troubled by their skin to hope for better-looking skin. Microneedling was the first in line that gave dermatologists the opportunity to truly make a significant difference in the lives of their patients. But, in recent years, another cosmetic procedure has astounded dermatologists and people with skin problems alike with its ability to make dreams of younger and fresher-looking skin come true.

Microchanneling is the more advanced, more dynamic, and result-oriented version of microneedling. Not to mention, this cutting-edge is not only safe, less invasive, and produces much better end results. And, if you want to know how it can help you, well, you’d actually need to sit down with a pen and paper to jot down all of the advantages. Everything from scars, large pores to stretch marks – you name it, and microchanneling can make it better. But, please don’t think that microchanneling will help take a few pounds off your waist too. 

What Is Microchanneling?

Before you can go to microchanneling, you need to understand where it comes from a little bit. As mentioned earlier, microchanneling is the evolved version of microneedling. Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure where a dermaroller is used to stimulate the collagen in the skin and produce newer skin tissues. Hence, people found that they could get smoother, more toned, and younger-looking skin with microneedling. 

But, microneedling didn’t come without its faults. During a microneedling session, the outer layer of skin was pricked with microneedles to promote collagen. Initially, it was a relatively painful experience. Yet, it is, to date, a mildly painful experience that can cause pigmentations on the skin if the needles used during the procedure are longer than required, and it can even cause sensitive skin to tear. But, even microneedling techniques have improved with technological advancements.

Hence, a newer and safer alternative to microneedling was inevitable and a must. So, now you have microchanneling. In microchanneling, the needles are administered to target areas precisely in a ‘stamp-like’ pattern instead of pulling the device across the face. It is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that is neither painful nor dangerous. 

Once the micro channels are created upon your skin, the skin care professional will usually apply a cellular renewal serum which enhances the effects that microchanneling has produced.

The idea is to jumpstart your body’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin by releasing peptides, cytokines, and growth factors. 

With microchanneling, you end up having firmer-looking skin as the procedure tightens and lifts the skin. Furthermore, you will see a defined difference in your skin texture where microchanneling has been applied.

What Skin Ailments Can Microchanneling Treat?

Microchanneling is a cosmetic procedure that is minimally invasive and can be used for all skin types. With microchanneling, whether you are light-skinned or dark, you can significantly improve the quality and appearance of your skin within a very short period of time. And, there are no age restrictions for microchanneling either. Moreover, microchanneling is helpful for those with chronic breakouts as well.

So, let’s look at just some of the skin ailments that microchanneling can help you with:

• Keloid scarring / traumatic scarring
• Stretch marks
• Rosacea
• Hyperpigmentation
• Anti-aging
• Acne scars
• Skin-tightening
• Pore size-reduction
• Fine line 
• Wrinkles
• Hair growth
• Surgical scars
• Dryness and dullness
• Uneven skin tones and textures

Now, that’s quite an impressive list of skin issues that microchanneling will help you with. But, if you look at the people with skin ailments, you will often find that many suffer from a marked lack of confidence and low self-esteem. But, with the aid of microchanneling and your new youthful-looking skin, you undoubtedly feel a boost in your self-confidence.

Does Microchanneling Hurt?

Microchanneling doesn’t hurt, but it’s not in itself a feel-good non-surgical procedure. And all of the benefits that you will witness will be after the treatment has been done. A few people feel some discomfort, but that is not much to worry about either. You see, if you ask your skin care expert to help you out with the discomfort, they will apply a skin-numbing solution that will save you from feeling even the slightest of uneasiness.

In most cases, patients feel a marked difference in their skin after one treatment. But, you are recommended to go through a series of four sessions about once every month to help settle most skin ailments. Also, there is zero downtime when it comes to the healing process, and in as little as 24 hours, you will be able to use the recommended moisturizer and SPF.

When Can You Not Use Microchanneling?

Microchanneling is non-surgical and minimally invasive, but some do not make ideal candidates for this cosmetic treatment. Here’s a list of the situations when you should not consider microchanneling:

• If you are pregnant
• If you are immunosuppressed
• If you have cardiac abnormalities
• If you suffer from eczema or psoriasis
• If you have open wounds
• If you have undergone radiation therapy recently
