Microchanneling in Chicago

Microchanneling at Skin and Beyond Spa is a professional Procell treatment: a precision device creates tiny, controlled channels in the skin. That starts a natural healing response — the kind your body already uses after a minor injury — so collagen- and elastin-producing cells ramp up and build firmer, healthier-looking skin over time.

The channels are shallow and uniform compared with older needling tools. The goal is not to traumatize the face; it is to wake up renewal where texture, pores, fine lines, or acne scarring need support. Serums applied during the session can travel along those channels more effectively than they would on untouched skin.

Many clients pair the visit with a stem cell growth serum layered during the treatment for an extra renewal boost — we can add that when it fits your plan. Part of our signature treatments menu. Full pricing: price list.

Both names sound alike; the experience and device are not identical. Classic microneedling often uses a pen with deeper, less predictable punctures. Procell microchanneling is built around stamped micro-channels and a serum protocol aimed at collagen signaling with a measured recovery profile.

If you are still researching the difference, read our microchanneling vs microneedling guide — then book here when you are ready for the treatment in the room, not just the article.

Book microchanneling if you want smoother texture, softer acne scars or enlarged pores, a firmer feel along the cheeks and jaw, or a collagen-focused refresh before an event series. It suits Chicago and Gold Coast clients who already like clinical-style treatments but want them in a boutique facial studio, not a crowded med-spa floor.

Choose a different visit if you mainly need extractions, massage, and a mask — start with facials in Chicago or the Advanced Customized Facial. Want only mechanical smoothness with zero channels? Dermaplaning may be enough. Active infection, open lesions, or pregnancy — tell us before booking; we may postpone or pick a gentler protocol.

Is microchanneling the same as microneedling?

Related idea, different tools and depths. Our treatment uses the Procell microchanneling protocol — see the comparison article for detail, then book here for the actual visit.

Is there downtime?

Plan for redness the rest of the day. Many clients work the next morning with makeup once skin calms. Avoid sun, sweating, and heavy makeup for about 24 hours.

How many sessions do I need?

One session can brighten texture; a series of three to six visits spaced a few weeks apart is common for scarring or deeper aging concerns. We tailor the plan at the first appointment.

What is Procell microchanneling?

Procell is the professional system we use — stamped micro-channels plus targeted serums to stimulate collagen and elastin. It is the same service listed as Microchanelling in our Vagaro Signature menu.

Can I add stem cell serum?

Yes — many clients layer a growth serum during the treatment for extra renewal. Ask when you book; pricing for add-ons is confirmed in the menu at checkout.
