Collagen Induction Microchanneling (CHEST)

Tired of trying traditional skincare treatments and waiting weeks for your skin to bounce back? If so, you’re not alone. Many popular beauty procedures still rely on the old method of making the skin worse in order to make it better, but we’re happy to report that you have other options.
Microchanneling is a non-surgical, skin-transforming treatment now available to our amazing clients who crave skin alchemy without the inconvenience of downtime or long recovery periods. Thanks to the magic of microchanneling, you can now enjoy instantly rejuvenated radiant skin, as soon as you leave the spa.
Microneedling was first recognized as a modality for addressing acne scarring using various needling devices and techniques to stimulate a wound-healing response. From there, doctors soon discovered that this technology had broader cosmetic applications for treating other common skin concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, dull skin, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, sagging skin, active acne, acne scarring and more. While the science behind microneedling is not new, microchanneling is the latest iteration of microneedling and the result of many years of skincare technology evolution. Since it was first developed, experts in the fields of dermatology, plastic surgery, and cosmetic aesthetics have come to recognize the value of needling therapy as a minimally invasive option and have continued to improve the devices and technology used.
Today, Le Petit Spa is looking to the future of skincare, with a mission of creating less and less invasive therapies that produce better and better results.

What is the difference between Microchanneling and Microneedling?

Microchanneling is often described as Microneedling Evolved. The stem cell-derived growth factors that maximize results distinguish the Procell treatment compared to the traditional delivery serums used for Microneedling which are mainly Hyaluronic Acid, Brightening Serums and Salicylic acid which may not be as effective.

Microchanneling also uses a stamping technique, less damaging than any traditional Microneedling techniques.  During the treatment, very small tips penetrate the upper layers of the skin (epidermis), creating small, micro-injuries. The "micro-injuries" are created by "stamping" vertically to create clean micro-channels instead of dragging or gliding across the skin. As a result no scratching or tearing of the skin occurs.
