What Is Microchanneling and Why Clients Are Loving It
Share
Let’s talk about something I’ve been absolutely loving in the treatment room lately — microchanneling.
You may have seen it on Instagram or heard a friend mention it, but you’re still wondering: what is it, and do I need it?
Let me break it down for you — simple, no fluff, just real skin results.
So… what is microchanneling?
Think of it like a collagen wake-up call for your skin.
Microchanneling uses a small device with tiny needles (don’t worry, it’s not scary!) to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These tiny channels signal your skin to go into repair mode — boosting collagen and elastin production naturally.
The best part? The channels are small enough that there’s no real downtime, but just enough to make your skin say: “Hey, let’s tighten, brighten, and renew!”
What does it help with?
Microchanneling is amazing for:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Acne scars or texture
-
Enlarged pores
-
Dull or tired-looking skin
-
Loss of firmness
-
Stretch marks (yep, even body areas can benefit!)
It’s one of the most effective treatments I offer for long-term skin improvement — and it gets better with each session.
What does it feel like?
Honestly, most of my clients say it feels like a light tickle or a slight sandpaper sensation. I apply a numbing cream beforehand, so you’ll be super comfortable. Your skin might feel a little tight or look pink for a day or two afterward — like a light sunburn — but most people are totally fine going about their day.
What’s the aftercare?
I’ll walk you through everything at your appointment, but here’s the quick version:
-
No makeup for 24 hours
-
Gentle cleanser and healing serum only
-
No sweating or heavy exercise for 24–48 hours
-
SPF is non-negotiable (but you already knew that 😉)
You’ll start to notice a smoother glow in just a few days, and the results continue to improve as your skin builds new collagen over the next few weeks.
Is it for everyone?
Most skin types can benefit from microchanneling, but I always do a consultation first to make sure it’s the right fit for you — especially if you’re dealing with active acne, certain medications, or skin sensitivities.
If you’re looking for a treatment that does more than just give you that one-day glow, this is it. Microchanneling actually changes your skin from the inside out — and I’m here for it 💛
