Procell Therapy Pre-Care – The Brow Project

How do I prepare for ProCell Microchanneling?

ProCell Microchanneling is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance of your skin by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation. It involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, prompting the body’s natural healing process. Here’s how you can prepare for the ProCell Microchanneling procedure:

• 
  
• 

• Consultation:
• 
  Consult with a qualified dermatologist or licensed aesthetician to discuss your concerns, expectations, and medical history. They can assess your skin and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
• 
  
• Pre-Procedure Guidelines:
• 
  Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and tanning beds for at least a week before the procedure. Sunburned or heavily tanned skin is not suitable for microchanneling.
  Avoid Certain Medications: Some medications, such as blood thinners and certain anti-inflammatory drugs, can increase the risk of bruising. Consult your healthcare provider about adjusting your medications if necessary.
  Skincare Products: Your skincare professional might recommend certain products to prepare your skin. Follow their instructions regarding cleansing and moisturizing routines.
• 
  
• Post-Procedure Preparation:
• 
  Downtime: Plan for a few days of potential downtime, as your skin might appear red and mildly swollen after the procedure.
  Avoid Makeup: Avoid wearing makeup immediately after the procedure to let your skin breathe and heal.
  Post-Procedure Skincare: Follow the skincare routine prescribed by your practitioner. This usually involves gentle cleansing, application of healing ointments, and avoiding harsh skincare products for a few days.
  Avoid Sun and Harsh Elements: Protect your skin from direct sunlight, wind, and extreme temperatures. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
• 
  
• Post-Procedure Care:
• 
  Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
  Avoid Scratching: Itchiness and mild discomfort are common during the healing process. Avoid scratching or picking at your skin to prevent infections.
  Follow-up Appointments: Attend any follow-up appointments recommended by your skincare professional to monitor your skin’s progress and address any concerns.
• 
  
• Long-Term Care:
• 
  Sun Protection: Protect your skin from the sun to maintain the results. Sunscreen is crucial to prevent sun damage and premature aging.
  Healthy Lifestyle: Adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep, to support overall skin health.
• 
  Always follow the specific instructions provided by your skincare professional, as individual cases may vary. Additionally, be open and honest about your medical history and any concerns you might have during your consultation to ensure a safe and effective procedure.

• What is the aftercare for ProCell treatment?
• ProCell Microchanneling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves creating controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. Proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results. Here are the general aftercare guidelines for ProCell Microchanneling treatment:
• 
  

• Immediate Post-Procedure Care:
• 
  Cleansing: Your practitioner will provide specific instructions on cleansing your skin after the procedure. Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser to clean your face for the first few days.
• 
  Avoid Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup immediately after the procedure to allow your skin to breathe and heal. Your practitioner will advise you on when it’s safe to resume using makeup.
  Healing Ointments: Your practitioner may recommend using healing ointments or serums to promote skin healing and hydration. Follow their instructions regarding application.
• 
  
• Sun Protection:
• 
  Sunscreen: Protect your skin from direct sunlight by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Sunscreen helps prevent sun damage, which can interfere with the healing process and affect your results.
• 
  
• Avoid Irritants:
• 
  Harsh Skincare Products: Avoid using products containing retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or acidic ingredients for a few days after the procedure. These products can irritate the skin and hinder the healing process.
  Avoid Touching or Picking: Refrain from touching your face unnecessarily, and do not pick at any scabs or peeling skin. Let the healing process occur naturally to minimize the risk of infection and scarring.
• 
  
• Hydration and Moisturization:
• 
  Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin and body hydrated. Proper hydration supports overall skin health and the healing process.
  Moisturize: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Moisturizing helps maintain the skin’s barrier function and promotes healing.
• 
  
• Follow-Up Appointments:
• 
  Follow-Up Visits: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your practitioner. They will assess your skin’s progress, address any concerns, and provide further guidance on skincare and maintenance.
• 
  
• Long-Term Skincare:
• 
  Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. These factors contribute to overall skin health.
  Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can impair the healing process and negatively impact your skin’s appearance. Avoid these habits for optimal results.
• Always adhere to the specific aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional, as individual cases may vary. If you experience unusual or severe symptoms after the ProCell Microchanneling treatment, promptly contact your practitioner for guidance.
