What is the difference between Microchanneling and Microneedling?
Micro-channeling therapy is the next generation of Microneedling.
The main difference between the two therapies is the type of device used to perform the treatment as well as the technique that is used.
Microneedling therapy can involve using a handheld “roller” covered in tiny needles that is dragged over the skin which can actually tear the skin. Microchanneling therapy, on the other hand, uses a “stamping” technique, which creates micro vertical channels into the skin for better and deeper product penetration & less trauma to the skin.
Micro-needling pens use much larger steel needles that pierce through the epidermis to varying depths. This causes micro-injuries, which creates a wound-healing response to create new collagen. Microchanneling uses a disposable chip with 49 microscopic silicon pyramids, which creates micropermeations into the first layer of the skin. This helps to open up the stratumcorneum and allows serum and growth factor ingredients to be more effective. This stimulates cell repair and regeneration while helping your skin to become more luminous, hydrated, and plumped. It effectively targets the most sensitive areas including the neck, under eyes, eyelids, and even lips.
