Hair Growth Microchanneling FAQs

• Is microchanneling for hair growth suitable for all types of hair loss? 

  Microchanneling treatments for hair growth are effective on sluggish hair follicles and is suitable for persons who are experiencing more recent hair loss or shedding (within five years). These treatments are ineffective on completely dormant or dead follicles and cannot bring dead hair follicles back to life. This treatment is not suitable for someone who has been bald for years.

• How does microchanneling for hair growth work?

  We use ProCell Therapies’ microchanneling system which includes a specialized hair serum formulated to nourish hair follicles back to health with select growth factors proteins which are naturally present in young, healthy hair follicles. The device used encompasses a linear stamping technique to create hundreds of thousands of clean, uniform, and consistent ‘microchannels’ in the scalp, and when combined with the hair serum, it allows for a normal hair growth cycle, which leads to new hair growth and thicker, fuller-looking hair.

• How long are treatments?

  Treatments are 60-90 minutes in duration, depending on the size of the area being treated.

• How many hair growth treatments do I need?

  Treatments are done two weeks apart and in a series of 6 to 8 treatments. A consultation is required to determine the optimal number of sessions needed.

• When will I start to see results?

  Results vary from person to person, however if you do not begin to see results by the third treatment, the hair follicles have gone dormant (or may be dead). If this is the case, it is recommended to stop treatments.  

• Does microchanneling hurt?

  This is a minimally invasive skin procedure, and the level of discomfort (if any) differs from person to person. Using ProCell technology results in less inflammation which in turn results in less discomfort for our clients. Numbing is often not required prior to treatment.

• What is the recovery time after treatment?

  This differs from person to person. While some experience little to no downtime, the typical recovery time after one of our microchanneling hair growth treatments is 60 to 90 minutes. Our microchanneling device’s linear stamping technique results in clean, consistent microchannels on the skin, which causes less tissue damage. As a result, our client’s experience less inflammation which means less downtime and less discomfort experienced during treatment.

  We provide all our clients with pre-treatment instructions in advance of their appointment, and post-treatment care instructions following their completed service.
