The Advanced Procell MD DeviceAll treatments are performed with the advanced ProCell MD device. ProCell has garnered a reputation as the gold standard of microneedling, and has been awarded the Aestheticians' Choice Award for best microneedling device of 2018, 2019, 2020 & 2022.
Procell Microchanneling is unique in that it stimulates the wound healing response and new collagen production by triggering the release of epidermal growth factors, peptides and cytokines with little actual damage to the skin. Procell Microchanneling is microchanneling evolved. |
Procell Stem Cell Growth Factor Serums
By unlocking and amplifying the bio-signals stem cells send to build fresher, healthier skin, Procell Growth Factor Serums create superior skin rejuvenation results. The treatment produces a clinically significant increase in the production of new collagen and elastin through the release of powerful peptides, growth factors and cytokines.
How does microneedling / microchanneling work?
Sun damage, internal inflammation, chemicals, and even gravity all work against the natural vitality of our skin.
As we age, our ability to repair this constant damage diminishes drastically.
Precision micro-needles are tapped into the skin creating uniform micro-channels. A single pass over the face using the ProCell system will create hundreds of thousands of micro-channels. Procell Microchanneling was developed in America by a Licensed Aesthetician and a Board Certified Dermatologist. The mechanism of action of microchanneling is not damage or destruction of tissue, but rather stimulation of the stem cell layer at the Dermal Epidermal Junction to activate excited fibroblastic activity. In response to each microinjury, an inflammatory process begins which initiates the formation of new collagen.

FAQ
Does microneedling hurt?
While some areas may be more sensitive than others, the needles are so tiny, the procedure does not hurt! If this is still a concern, topical numbing cream may be applied. We are happy to discuss any concerns during your consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically, 3-6 treatments are recommended for optimal results. Each session is scheduled 3-4 weeks apart. Dr. Mims will work with you to customize your unique treatment plan.
What is the downtime?
There is very little downtime after treatment, which makes it super convenient! Immediately following your session, you will want to avoid direct sunlight for 90 minutes, and you may have some redness for 2-3 days.
What about aftercare?
After a session, your skin will have thousands of open channels which allows for maximum absorption of any product that touches it. Therefore, it is very important to be mindful of what you put on your skin. We can provide skincare and makeup recommendations as well as Procell and TOMA products available for purchase.
