The ultimate LED upgrade
Applying Celluma LED therapy immediately after microchanneling takes advantage of a peak window of cellular responsiveness. At this stage, targeted wavelengths enhance photobiomodulation within the skin, increasing cellular energy (ATP) and amplifying the signals responsible for collagen production, skin renewal and overall treatment efficacy. The result is a more powerful, optimised outcome from your microchanneling treatment
"Chronic inflammation procludes optimum results and attracts myofibroblasts as opposed to normal fibroblasts - the former makes abnormal scar tissue"
Procell Microchanneling Versus Standard Microneedling
| Feature | Procell Microchanneling | Microneedling |
|---|---|---|
| Technology used | Uses ultra-fine filaments or stamping technology, not traditional needles | Uses sharp needles that puncture the skin at variable depths |
| Depth & control | Channels are extremely shallow and uniform, with precise depth control | Depth is often deeper and less controlled, especially with pressure variation |
| Skin interaction | Does not puncture or tear the skin, instead creating micro-pathways | Creates true micro-wounds, intentionally triggering a wound-healing cascade |
| Bleeding / erythema | No bleeding or minimal erythema, even at corrective treatment levels | Bleeding is common (pinpoint to moderate), especially at corrective depths |
| Comfort | Virtually pain-free, typically no numbing required | Pain and discomfort are expected, often requiring topical numbing |
| Wound-healing threshold | Stimulates regeneration without exceeding the wound-healing threshold | Creates true micro-wounds, intentionally triggering a wound-healing cascade |
| Collagen stimulation pathway | Activates collagen production via cellular signalling, not trauma | Provokes a strong inflammatory response, relying on injury to stimulate collagen |
| Inflammatory response | Avoids an aggressive inflammatory response, preserving skin integrity | Higher risk of excessive inflammation, especially in sensitive or reactive skin |
| Fibrotic / scar collagen risk | Supports healthy collagen (Type I) rather than fibrotic collagen | Potential for unwanted fibrotic tissue (scar collagen) beneath the surface when overdone |
| Overstimulation signs | Avoids an aggressive inflammatory response, preserving skin integrity | Can overstimulate the skin, leading to prolonged redness, swelling, or heat |
| Downtime | Downtime is minimal to none (often just mild pinkness for hours) | Downtime ranges from 24–72+ hours, sometimes longer with repeated treatments |
| Suitability for skin conditions | Safe for sensitive, inflamed, acne-prone and ageing skin | Not suitable for many skin conditions (rosacea, acne flare-ups, compromised barriers) |
| Reliance on practitioner technique | Channels are extremely shallow and uniform, with precise depth control | Results depend heavily on practitioner skill to avoid overworking the skin |
| Barrier impact | Enhances product penetration safely, without compromising the barrier | Repeated aggressive treatments can weaken the skin barrier over time |
| Long-term skin health | Encourages long-term skin health, not repeated injury-repair cycles | Repeated aggressive treatments can weaken the skin barrier over time |
| Pigmentation risk | Lower risk of pigmentation issues, including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. | Greater risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly in melanated skin |
| Overall results driver | Regeneration-focused rather than injury-driven, aligning with modern skin science. | Inflammation-driven results, rather than cell-to-cell regenerative signalling |
Noticeable improvements in brightness, hydration and skin smoothness, with skin often calmer, clearer and more refined
- Optimises collagen stimulation and cellular regeneration
- Each session builds upon the last, strengthening the skin’s matrix
- Delivers more consistent improvements in tone, texture and radiance
- Best suited to acne scarring, laxity and advanced lines
- Cumulative collagen remodelling improves firmness and skin density
- Delivers the most comprehensive, long-term skin rejuvenation results
The Power of the Procell DNA Repair Serum
With cutting-edge biotechnology, ProCell’s MD Repair Serum delivers gold-standard, highly targeted bio-identical recombinant growth factors, cytokines and peptides (the same cellular messengers your skin naturally recognises and responds to), directly to where they're needed via the microscopic channels created. These signals bind to receptors on skin cells and activate the body’s own natural repair and regeneration pathways, supporting reduced inflammation, lines, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation, increased elastin and hyaluronic acid production, and a stronger more resilient skin barrier.
