Procell Therapies MicroChanneling and Stem Cell Therapy

Microneedling vs Microchanneling; What’s the Difference?

Microneedling has established it’s popularity with both skin care professionals and their clients for the reduction of acne scars, fine lines, sun spots, age spots, laxity, and for rejuvenating aging skin. Microneedling has been positioned as an alternative to more invasive treatments like lasers and deep chemical peels, and has proven to be a legitimate alternative for many people seeking anti-aging and corrective results for skin imperfections without the risk and downtime of more invasive treatments.

Procell Microchanneling for Fine Lines – 4 Treatments

More recently a treatment called “Microchanneling” has been gaining traction, and we’ve been asked what the difference is enough times, that it’s time to put it in writing. And the answer is yes! There is a difference, and it’s worth knowing about.

Dermatologists have long known that the power of the immune system can be harnessed to rejuvenate the skin. But in the past the only way to access that power was to cause a significant injury to the skin, get the patient through the down-time, manage the recovery, and see results and improvement in aging and sun damaged skin. But what if there were another way, (a less invasive way) to channel that same wound healing power toward skin rejuvenation and anti-aging, and do it with virtually no damage to skin, little to no downtime, using the  power of Stem Cells (and more specifically the powers of the peptides, growth factors and cytokines they produce to heal our injuries and cure our ills)?

The practitioners of microchanneling claim that is just what they have, and since about 2015 microchanneling has been making inroads into the world of skin rejuvenation that are nothing short of remarkable. Results like the ones shown here for both anti-aging, and corrective results are certainly impressive. But really? Is it anything different than the microneedlng of the past?

In simple terms microchanneling is a less invasive skin rejuvenation and anti-aging treatment that uses shorter wire filaments than microneedling devices, and they’re used to stimulate the stem cells of the stratum basal in the epidermis, (rather than using invasive needles to damage dermal cells and fibroblasts). And the secret behind the growing popularity and success of microchanneling, is that microchanneling is proving that Less is More.

Microchanneling stimulates collagen production and a wound healing cascade in your skin without an actual wound. And it does it two ways, 1. stimulation of gene expression of healing cytokines by your immune system, 2. amplification of that gene expression via topical application of a cytokine concentrate that stimulates the rapid deposition of very high quality collagen.

The results skin care professionals are seeing from this new, less invasive skin care treatment are making heads turn across the country and around the world as people look for safer, less painful ways to achieve corrective results for wrinkles, scars, fine lines and aging skin. And for younger people, the anti-aging benefits of regular microneedling session are impressive.

And the most exciting thing microchanneling is helping us understand, is that microchannel delivery of cytokine based products, (derived from the human immune system) means that we have the ability to do more, and more (in the way of improving results) with less and less, (damage, downtime and pain). So stay tuned, because the products delivered via microchannels are going to be ever more sophisticated, targeted, and even personalized as researchers decode the incredibly sophisticated power of the immune system, and how it can work to improve aging skin, and better help skin resist those dreadful signs of premature aging.

Red Light Powers Aesthetic Outcomes Today & Tomorrow

Illuminate RedRed Light (L.E.D. or L.L.L.T) is well known in the pain management & physical therapy communities for reduced inflammation, pain management and wound healing. Much clinical research has shown that these effects ( from red to near infrared light: 630 to 670 nm for 20 minutes or more as often as daily) are not only real, but reliable and repeatable across a broad spectrum of patients and conditions.

And while it’s use for skin rejuvenation has been limited in times past, the fortunes of Red Light Therapy for skin are on the rise, as science helps us catch up with the potential of this wonderfully luminous modality.

With modern aesthetic consumers demanding ever less discomfort, down time and side effects, and ever better results; and with practitioners employing ever more sophisticated and targeted therapies that stimulate the body’s ability to heal and resist aging at a cellular level, a renaissance in Red Light Therapy is taking place. And it’s happening among high end practitioners, Dermatologists and and Plastic Surgeons employing  the latest in Stem Cell based, Immuno-stimulative, & Cytokine based cosmeceuticals.

Cytokines are present in more and more of the most advanced skin rejuvenation products on the market today. Cytokines are a family of proteins essential to healing and anti-aging. They are made by Stem Cells and perform a variety of high energy tasks the keep us healthy. (This complex family of 800 or more known proteins includes Peptides and Growth Factors).

Cytokines can now be safely introduced topically, especially during treatments like microneedling, microchanneling, microdermabrasion, laser and injectables.

The revolution in Stem Cell/Cytokine based therapies and products is enabling practitioners to harness, and focus near miraculous corrective and anti-aging mechanisms that were completely unknown just a generation ago.

We now better understand how cells work, how the amazing machinery within cells work, how stem cells work, how the immune system works, and how tiny cellular mechanisms within our bodies possess the capacity to heal and resist aging in ways our grandparents… even our parents could have never imagined.Illuminate Red

In light of this revolution in Stem Cell science, and Cytokine based cosmeceuticals, Red Light Therapy is not only becoming accepted as a preferred modality to produce  the best cosmetic outcomes, but is approaching the tipping point toward absolute necessity!

But how exactly does it work?

Clinical studies have shown that the beneficial effects of Red Light Therapy are related to increased production, or “up-regulation” of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is produced in the mitochondria of almost every cell in your body. It is the “energy carrier” that powers cellular activity. So it logically follows that up-regulation of ATP means more available “fuel” to power cellular activity.

Recent research indicates that one of the mechanism that enables Red Light to deliver clinically proven up-regulation of ATP is related to how these specific wavelengths, (or “colors”) of light effect the viscosity of water within the mitochondria of each treated cell.

The ATP Synthase is a microscopic, biological “nano-machine” inside the mitochondria of most of the cells in your body, and is one of the most incredible mechanisms in the natural world! It is the smallest observed rotary motor in nature and produces ATP molecules as if it were running inside a factory! Atomic level protons turn the rotor, producing a mechanical action to build just the right molecules to power all the work your cells do everyday.

ATP SynthaseThe ATP Synthase builds ATP by mechanically adding one phosphate to abundantly available Adenosine Di Phosphate (ADP) employing it’s rotor and other surface features to make the physical attachment happen.

It has been theorized, (and convincing experiments have been conducted1) to show that Red Light increases ATP production by reducing friction between this tiny machine’s parts. A physicochemical reaction lowers viscous friction, with less friction, the motor can run faster when called upon to do so. Hence more ATP is produced and made available for the cellular work at hand.

Apparently it is this mechanism by which Red Light Therapy enhances the cellular responses so essential to the efficacy of every one of the new Stem Cell/Cytokine based topicals. Red Light powers the stimulative interaction between cosmeceuticals and tissue to repair damage and resist aging. This improves cosmetic outcomes while reducing invasiveness, discomfort and downtime.

Red Light Therapy is already powering the next generation of Cytokine based topicals and skin rejuvenation treatments. Practitioners “in the know” are already delivering dramatically better corrective and anti-aging skin rejuvenation by using the power of light to enhance the cellular responses so necessary to the mechanisms of modern Stem Cell/Cytokine based cosmeceuticals and services.

Topical delivery of Cytokines amplifies sophisticated biological cascades that induce new collagen production and increase the ability of cells to resist premature aging. And because Cytokines are the natural elements that drive healing, they have enormous potential rejuvenate. But to get results you can see, it is necessary to regulate, manipulate, target, and amplify the underlying cellular performance essential to how they work.

Induced precipitation of a variety of biological cascades related to healing, are amplified via topical delivery of Cytokines and powered by the stimulation of Red Light Therapy,  producing perhaps the most effective, non-invasive and naturally safe anti-aging mechanism ever observed, (at least for aging skin).

The Stem Cell/Cytokine based technologies & topicals of today, (and tomorrow) rely on amplification of the ability of the cells to work efficiently in order to maximize results, while minimizing things like discomfort, down time and side effects. And this is why the renaissance for Red Light Therapy is happening.

Producing corrective results and inducing resistance to aging at a cellular level engenders significant activity by, within and between cells. And all this “work” requires significantly more energy than does your routine skin cycle. So Red Light Therapy is essential to providing the enormous amounts of cellular energy required to take advantage of, and maximize the rejuvenative potential of the Stem Cell/Cytokine based topicals and services of today… and tomorrow!
