Professional stem cell skincare — in the treatment room

This page is about a stem cell growth serum add-on used during Procell microchanneling at Skin and Beyond Spa. It is not a retail jar of “stem cells” you apply at home, and it is not a separate facial appointment on its own. The serum is layered while micro-channels are open so renewal-focused ingredients can move with the treatment instead of sitting on top of untouched skin.

Microchanneling already triggers a collagen and elastin response. The add-on is for clients who want an extra boost in that same visit — especially when texture, fine lines, or post-acne marks are the main concern. We describe it honestly: you are booking microchanneling first, then selecting the stem cell skincare upgrade when you schedule.

Part of our signature treatments menu. See the full price list for related services.

How it pairs with microchanneling

Procell microchanneling creates uniform micro-perforations that start your skin’s healing cascade. That is the engine. The stem cell growth serum is the fuel we can add on top — applied in sequence so it travels along the channels created during the pass.

How to book: use the microchanneling service link on this page (same as our Vagaro Signature Microchanelling menu). In checkout, choose the stem cell add-on if it is offered for your appointment type. If you do not see it online, tell us when you call — we will note it on your chart.

New to needling-style treatments? Read the microchanneling overview first, then add the serum when you are ready for the combined visit.

Who it’s for — and who should book something else

Consider the add-on if you are already planning microchanneling and want maximum renewal support in one session — dull tone, early fine lines, uneven texture, or acne scarring that responds to collagen-focused work. Men’s skin benefits too; we see strong results when grooming-focused clients stack serum with a Procell series (see our men’s microchanneling + stem cells article).

Skip the add-on or choose another visit if you only want a relaxing facial with massage and mask — start with facials in Chicago or the Advanced Customized Facial. You need mechanical smoothness without channels? Dermaplaning may be enough. Active infection, open lesions, or pregnancy — contact us before booking; we may postpone or adjust the plan.

Not the same as collagen threads: if you searched “collagen and stem cell facial” for thread-style lifting, that is a different service on our menu — ask us to match you to the right treatment.

What to expect on your visit

Assessment

We confirm microchanneling is appropriate, review retinoids, recent peels, and health history, and decide whether the stem cell serum add-on fits your goals today.

Treatment

Your visit follows the microchanneling protocol (about 60 minutes for the standalone Signature service). The growth serum is applied during the treatment window when channels are open — not as a separate timed service.

Aftercare

Expect pinkness or redness for several hours up to a day — the same recovery profile as microchanneling alone. Hold makeup ~24 hours, pause aggressive actives until we clear you, and use SPF. The add-on does not change downtime dramatically; it changes what we infuse while channels are active.

FAQ

What is the stem cell skincare add-on?
A professional growth serum layered during Procell microchanneling so renewal ingredients travel along micro-channels. It is booked together with microchanneling, not as a walk-in facial on its own.
How do I book it?
Book microchanneling with the service-specific button on this page, then select the stem cell add-on in Vagaro when available. Call +1 312 404 7262 if you need help adding it to your appointment.
How much does it cost?
Add-on pricing is confirmed at booking checkout together with your microchanneling visit. We do not list a separate dollar amount on this page until our Vagaro menu row is finalized — ask us if you need the current add-on fee before you schedule.
Does stem cell skincare work?
In our studio it is a treatment-room upgrade paired with collagen signaling from microchanneling — not a miracle cream. Results build over a series like any collagen-focused protocol; we set realistic expectations at your assessment.
Is this human embryonic stem cell therapy?
No. This is a cosmetic facial add-on with professional serums used during microchanneling. We do not make medical stem cell claims on this page.
Can I buy stem cell products to use at home?
This page is about the in-spa add-on. Home product lines are a different conversation — we focus here on what we perform during your Procell visit.
