Microneedling vs. Procell Microchanneling

Let’s talk skin treatments - more specifically, two treatments you’ve probably seen alllll over your feed as of recent: microneedling & Procell Microchanneling. I've offered Procell at my studio for 6 years - because spoiler, I think it's the elite option of the two 🤭

However, both promise smoother, glowier, firmer skin - so what exactly IS the difference? And which one’s worth it for you?

Microneedling: The OG Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling. The beauty industry knows her & loves her, and she's been a go-to treatment for years - for good reason! The microneedling technique uses a device housing tiny needles that, when used on the skin, creates controlled micro-injuries. These teeny wounds stimulate your body’s natural healing response resulting in collagen & elastin production, increased cell turnover, and improved texture over time.

It’s effective for a range of skin concerns including:

• Fine lines + wrinkles

• Acne scars

• Stretch marks

• Uneven texture or tone

  
  

My only caveat and what gives me pause regarding this method: traditional microneedling devices use a dragging motion with the needles, and while effective, they can sometimes cause more trauma with micro-tears or unnecessary inflammation (especially for sensitive skin types.)

Procell Microchanneling: The Next-Gen Upgrade

Procell Microchanneling

Now let’s chat Procell: aka, the microchanneling treatment we offer at The Brow Project, and honestly? She's kinda like microneedling's elite big sister , and I think she's a game-changer.

Procell uses a device with ultra-fine filaments to create precise microchannels in the skin (think: cleaner, more uniform, less inflammation). What makes it really special, though, is that it pairs that mechanical stimulation with a potent growth-factor serum that gets delivered directly into the skin through those channels. This combo supercharges your results with:

• Firmer, smoother skin

• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Improved acne scarring and skin tone

• Minimal downtime and less redness than traditional microneedling

• Visible results within just a few sessions

So which one should I get?

If you’re looking for a treatment that’s gentler, faster-healing, and boosted with regenerative ingredients, Procell Microchanneling is where it’s at. It’s like microneedling’s smarter, more refined cousin, especially if you want noticeable results without a ton of redness or recovery time. If you have access to the more evolved version (aka Procell).. why not?

Plus, Procell’s custom growth factor serum delivery system is a major perk. You’re not just triggering collagen, but also giving your skin the fuel it needs to regenerate more effectively.

Bottom Line?

Both microneedling and Procell have their place... buuut if you want next-level skin rejuvenation with less irritation and faster results, Procell Microchanneling is the clear winner.

At the end of the day, your skin deserves the best - and we’re here to help you find the perfect fit.
