Procell Microchanneling: The Superior Choice for Scars & Stretch Marks

What Is Procell Microchanneling?

Procell Microchanneling uses a specialized stamping device to create tiny, uniform micro‑channels in the skin. These micro‑injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. Immediately after treatment, a growth‑factor serum—including human bone‑marrow derived cytokines and peptides—is applied, which penetrates these micro‑channels to support cellular regeneration and long‑term improvement  .

This differs from traditional microneedling: it’s more precise, less traumatic, and does not tear the skin in an uncontrolled way  .

Benefits of Procell for Scars & Stretch Marks

What it can treat:

• Acne scars, including atrophic boxcar and rolling types

• Surgical or injury scars (non‑keloid)

• Stretch marks from weight changes, growth, pregnancy

• Post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation and uneven tone

• Fine lines, enlarged pores, texture irregularities

What it doesn’t treat effectively:

• Keloid scars—these raised and fibrotic scars are contraindicated

• Active inflammation or infection, uncontrolled diabetes, immune suppression, recent Accutane usage, or stainless steel allergies

Identifying Your Scar Type

• Atrophic scars (e.g. acne, boxcar, rolling): Characterized by indentations or depressions. These respond well to collagen-inductive treatments like Procell.

• Hypertrophic or keloid scars: Elevated and thickened scars—Procell isn’t recommended due to risk of further fibrotic activity.

• Stretch marks (striae): Initially red or purple, later white or silver—Procell can soften texture and fade discoloration by enhancing collagen support.

A consultation with a licensed provider helps assess your scar’s depth, tissue type, and suitability for treatment.

How Procell Improves Appearance

1. Controlled micro-injury: Stamping creates consistent micro-channels without tearing the skin  .

2. Growth-factor serum delivery: Human-derived growth factors and cytokines in the serum deliver systemic benefits on a cellular level, promoting new collagen and elastin synthesis  .

3. Stimulated natural healing: Skin begins rebuilding itself more resiliently—texture softens, tone evens, scars flatten, and stretch marks become less visible. Most clients see early improvements within 24–48 hours, with more noticeable results after 2–3 sessions; deeper scars/stretch marks often need 4–6 treatments  .

Why Microchanneling—not Microneedling—for the Body?

Only microchanneling is suitable for body areas, such as stretch marks on thighs, abdomen, or arms. Microneedling tools—especially rollers—are less precise and more prone to tearing and trauma in thicker skin zones, increasing downtime and risk of scarring or pigmentation issues. Procell’s fixed-depth stamping system ensures consistent results with minimal recovery, even on the body  .

What to Expect: Treatment & Aftercare

• Sessions: Typically 30–90 minutes depending on area. A light topical numbing may be applied.

• Downtime: Minimal—redness or mild swelling typically resolves within 1–3 days. Makeup can often be applied after ~90 minutes  .

• Schedule: Treatments spaced every 3–4 weeks.

• Results timeline: Early improvements in a day; noticeable changes after 2–3 sessions; deeper work and lasting results often appear by session 4–6.

Additional Tips & Safety Information

• Downtime is shorter and comfort higher compared to traditional microneedling due to cleaner channels and controlled depth  .

• Contraindications: Avoid if you have active infections, immune disorders, clotting issues, recent isotretinoin usage, or keloid tendency  .

• Aftercare essentials: Gentle cleansing, SPF protection, avoiding harsh exfoliants, and following provider’s skincare routine to support healing.
