Procell Therapies Microchanneling
If you are considering a treatment to improve the texture, tone and elasticity of your skin Procell Microchanneling is a perfect solution for you. This procedure is suitable for all skin types and is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment which involves the use of a TGA registered mechanized stamper to create tiny, clean controlled skin injuries (microchannels) which in turn stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. Unlike the traditional microneedling treatments, there is minimal damage to the epidermis for faster recovery and less downtime.
The ProCell Microchanneling delivery serum uses highly concentrated human growth-factors serums derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells which are known to promote scarless healing in an anti-inflammatory environment. Amplifying your collagen response during microchanneling treatment.
