What is Procell Therapies ?

Procell therapies offers a treatment called microchanneling which is an advanced from a microneedling.
This technique involves creating thousand of tiny channels in the skin, which stimulate the production of collagen and promote skin rejuvenation.
The process in enhanced by using growth factor serums derived from stem cells, which further improve skin texture and appearance.

This treatment includes a hyaluronic acid mask, 30 minutes of Celluma red light therapy,  and post-treatment care for one week.

Mechanism of Action

 1. Microchannel Creation: The Procell device penetrates the upper layers of the skin, generating micro-injuries that stimulate an inflammatory healing response. This process initiates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.

 2. Stem Cell Interaction: Procell therapies incorporate serums derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, which contain growth factors and cytokines. These components enhance nutrient delivery and promote scarless healing with minimal inflammation. The cytokines act as signaling molecules that facilitate communication between damaged cells and healthy cells, promoting regeneration and repair.

 3. Enhanced Product Penetration: The microchannels created during treatment allow for deeper penetration of topical serums applied immediately after the procedure. This maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment by ensuring that beneficial ingredients reach deeper layers of the skin.

Benefits

Procell therapies are known for their wide range of benefits, including:

 • Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, Procell helps to diminish signs of aging.
• Improvement of Skin Texture and Tone: The treatment enhances overall skin health, leading to smoother and more even-toned skin.
• Scar Treatment: It effectively reduces the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, and other skin imperfections.
• Minimal Downtime: Patients often experience little to no recovery time, with mild redness that typically resolves within a day.

How many Procell Therapies sessions are needed for optimal results ?

For optimal results with Procell Therapies, it is generally recommended to undergo a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This schedule allows sufficient time for the skin to heal and for collagen production to take effect, enhancing the overall results of the treatment.
After completing the initial series, maintenance sessions are often suggested every 6 to 12 months to sustain the improvements achieved during the treatment. The specific number of sessions may vary based on individual skin concerns and goals, with deeper wrinkles or scarring potentially requiring more treatments.

Aftercare instructions :

Immediate Aftercare (First 90 Minutes)

 1. Avoid Touching Treated Areas: Do not touch your skin with your hands, cellphone, or any foreign objects for at least 90 minutes post-treatment to prevent irritation and possible breakouts.
2. No Products for 90 Minutes: Refrain from applying any products to the treated areas for the first 90 minutes unless specifically provided or approved by your Procell provider.


General Aftercare Instructions

 1. Sun Protection: Avoid direct sunlight for at least 24 hours following the treatment. You may apply sunscreen after 90 minutes, preferably a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
2. Hydration and Moisturization: Keep your skin well-hydrated and moisturized to support healing. It’s crucial not to let your skin dry out.
3. Gentle Cleansing: Use a gentle, non-active cleanser for the first few days post-treatment. Avoid exfoliants and active ingredients like retinol or alpha hydroxy acids for at least one week.
4. Use Recommended Serums: Apply the Cellular Renewal Serum (Step 1) and Healing Accelerator Serum (Step 2) as instructed—typically starting 24 hours after treatment—to enhance healing and results. 

Are there any specific home-care products required for optimal Procell results ?

For optimal results with Procell Therapies, specific home-care products are highly recommended. These products are designed to enhance the benefits of the treatments and support skin healing and regeneration. Here are the key home-care products typically suggested:
Recommended Home-Care Products
 1. Cellular Renewal Serum (Step 1):
• Purpose: Supports cellular renewal and mimics the effects of having more stem cells, which are crucial for skin health.
• Key Ingredients: Stem cytokines that promote skin firmness, elasticity, and tone.
• Application: Use 3 pumps on the treated area twice daily (morning and evening) for 7 days after treatment.
2. Healing Accelerator Serum (Step 2):
• Purpose: Enhances hydration and seals in active ingredients from the Cellular Renewal Serum.
• Key Ingredients: Contains vitamins C, E, B5, and A, along with growth factors that benefit aging skin.
• Application: Apply 3 pumps to treated areas after the Cellular Renewal Serum has absorbed.

Additional Care Guidelines :

• Gentle Cleanser and Moisturizer: Use a gentle, non-active cleanser and a moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin. Avoid products with retinol or other active ingredients for at least 7 days post-treatment.
• Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily to protect the skin from UV damage.
Following this home-care routine is crucial as it significantly enhances the results of Procell treatments by ensuring continuous nourishment and support for skin regeneration between sessions.
 

Is it painful ? 

Procell Therapies, specifically Procell Microchanneling, generally involves mild to moderate discomfort during the procedure. Here are some key points regarding pain levels and comfort:

 1. Pain Level: Most patients report experiencing mild to moderate discomfort, often described as a pinprick sensation, particularly in sensitive areas like the forehead, cheekbones, and lips.
2. Numbing Cream: To enhance comfort, a topical numbing cream is typically applied before the treatment. This helps minimize any potential pain and makes the experience more tolerable.
3. Patient Experience: Many clients find the procedure manageable and report that the discomfort is significantly less than that experienced with traditional microneedling or other invasive treatments. Some even undergo the treatment without numbing cream and report little to no pain.

 4. Post-Treatment Sensation: After the procedure, patients may feel a tight or warm sensation in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day.

Contraindications for Procell Therapies:

1. Pregnancy and Nursing: Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid this treatment due to potential risks to the fetus or infant .
2. Active Skin Conditions: Individuals with active inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, or any type of skin infection should not undergo Procell therapies as these conditions can exacerbate during treatment .
3. Severe Dry Skin: If the skin is excessively dry, it is advised to address this condition with hydration before starting treatments .
4. Diabetes: Uncontrolled diabetes may impair healing and increase the risk of complications, making it a contraindication for the procedure .
5. Recent Accutane Use: Those who have taken Accutane within the past two years should avoid microneedling due to increased risk of skin sensitivity and adverse effects .
6. Immunocompromised Conditions: Individuals with underlying health issues that significantly impair their immune system, such as active cancer treatments (radiation or chemotherapy) or bleeding disorders (e.g., hemophilia), should refrain from this therapy .
7. Allergies to Stainless Steel: Patients with allergies to stainless steel should also avoid this treatment due to the materials used in the microneedling device .
