Micro-channeling is also known as collagen induction therapy, because it produces additional collagen to support the underlying dermal structure. The device, which may use either micro-needles or laser technology, creates tiny channels or injuries in the skin that trigger the body’s healing response.As new cells are generated and collagen levels increase, the skin is refreshed and rejuvenated from the inside out. This treatment is a good option for a variety of concerns, including wrinkles, scarring, skin laxity and pigmentation irregularities. Because the treatment does not affect all the skin at one time, downtime after treatment is usually minimal. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience in these procedures to ensure an optimal outcome.
Good question. Micro-channeling is the process of creating tiny channels or injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s healing response and increase collagen production. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment is commonly performed by either a fractionated laser device or microneedling. The depth of the procedure can be customized to the precise needs and desired outcome of the patient. Since the micro-channels do not affect surrounding skin and tissue, you can reap the benefits of cell renewal and collagen production without an extensive recovery process. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience in these treatments to ensure an optimal result.
Thank you for your good question. Micro-channeling is a technique used for skin rejuvenation. The process creates tiny channels or injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s healing processes. As new cells are generated and collagen is produced, the skin becomes smoother and firmer. Micro-channeling can be done with a fractionated laser or a microneedling device. The depth of the treatment can be adjusted based on the level of correction you need. Because select areas of the skin are targeted and the surrounding skin and tissue remain untouched, recovery after the treatment is usually minimal. Make sure you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this area to ensure an optimal outcome.
Microchanneling is a treatment process that creates tiny perforations in the superficial layers of the skin which enhance penetration of topically applied serums and medications, dramatically increasing their effectiveness. Published scientific studies have shown a 340% increase in absorption of topically applied serums after microchanneling when compared with normal skin.In my office, we do microchanneling treatments for our patients using human growth-factor serums derived from bone marrow stem cells which have been shown to be the most effective in the skin.Conveniently, you can now do very effective at-home microchanneling treatments using these serums due to a treatment kit just released by Célage Bioscience.
Microfractional laser treatments can benefit skin quality and resiliency through collagen stimulatory effects. In our office, we use combination platforms for Clear and Brilliant added to PRP, fractional RF, and filler placement in order to enhance the skin. We use Clear and Brilliant laser to...
Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce...
Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy....
