Common questions
The appointment lasts about an hour. Caroline examines your skin first, then cleanses and prepares it. She works the ProCell device across the treatment area in a stamping motion with a ProCell serum, adjusting as she goes to how your skin is responding. Fifteen minutes of LED light therapy follows, then the ProCell cooling mask. You leave with a pair of the ProCell MD aftercare serums and instructions for the days that follow.
The price covers the full ProCell protocol. ProCell designed microchanneling as a treatment together with an aftercare routine for the days that follow, so the price includes the session with Caroline, fifteen minutes of LED light therapy, the ProCell cooling mask, and a pair of the ProCell MD aftercare serums to take home: Step 1, the Cellular Renewal Serum, and Step 2, the Healing Accelerator, 5 ml each, to use twice a day from the morning after. The same pair is $62 on its own at the spa. Caroline holds ProCell's certification and performs every session herself, from start to finish.
Most clients find it more comfortable than they expected. ProCell's own guidance is that most clients have the treatment without numbing cream and without any real pain. What is noticeable is the sound of the device and some mild discomfort while it works, and afterward a tight feeling in the skin rather than soreness. If you would prefer not to feel much at all, Caroline offers a topical numbing cream before she begins. Please mention it when you book. She explains each step before she starts and checks in with you as she goes, and the LED and the mask at the end are the calm part of the hour.
Microchanneling is gentle, but it is not suitable for everyone. Following ProCell's guidance, Caroline will not treat you if you are pregnant or nursing, have an active cold sore in the treatment area, have uncontrolled diabetes, hepatitis, hemophilia or a heart condition, have a history of keloid scarring above the neck or a chronic skin condition, or have taken Accutane in the last six months. Severe or cystic acne needs to calm down first; mild active acne is fine. She will also ask about blood thinners, recent peels or laser, recent Botox or fillers, radiation or chemotherapy, and steroids or anti-inflammatories, so please be ready to mention them. To prepare, give your skin a short break from active ingredients: pause vitamin C, acids and over-the-counter retinol for two to three days before your session, and prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin for a full week. Please arrive with clean skin and no makeup.
Some flushing is expected immediately after the session, similar to a light sunburn, and the skin may feel warm, tight or slightly itchy for the rest of the day. ProCell describes this as the expected response. For the first 90 minutes, nothing should go on the treated skin and nothing should touch it, including sunscreen and makeup. After that, sunscreen and makeup are fine. Direct sun should be avoided for the first 24 hours, and the skin kept well hydrated. From the next morning, the two-step ProCell aftercare pair is used twice a day on clean skin, Step 1 then Step 2, and acids, vitamin C and prescription retinoids are paused for two to three days.
Both create tiny channels in the skin that prompt its own renewal. Microneedling pens work at a greater depth and move across the skin, and the skin stays red for a few days afterward. ProCell microchanneling uses a vertical stamping technique that, in ProCell's words, channels the skin with precision at a consistent, shallow depth, and was developed for patients who wanted real results without the irritation and downtime of aggressive needling. The recovery is about ninety minutes. For most clients that makes microchanneling the place to start. Caroline offers both and will recommend the one that suits your skin and your goals.
Caroline recommends a series. Three sessions is the usual starting point and six is the full series, spaced several weeks apart. The series of three and series of six are purchased as packages, and each session is booked individually.

What Caroline recommends afterward
Your aftercare pair covers the first days. After the first ninety minutes, mineral makeup is what I reach for, and daily SPF is the one step I will not let you skip.
