Microchanneling is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes fine, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen, elastin, and other essential building blocks of healthy skin. The result is an improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. At Sexy Visage, our expert technicians are trained to perform microchanneling safely and effectively, ensuring that you experience the full benefits of this innovative skin rejuvenation treatment. Whether you're looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimize pore size, or enhance the overall health of your skin, microchanneling can help you achieve your skincare goals.

Microneedling and microchanneling are both popular cosmetic treatments aimed at improving skin texture, reducing scars, and promoting collagen production. The first difference is the device and technique used to perform the treatment. A microneedling device involves using a handheld roller covered in tiny needles dragged over the skin.
This method can tear the skin. On the other hand, the microchanneling device encompasses a linear stamping technique, resulting in clean, consistent microchannels. This leads to reduced risk of skin tearing and a more controlled treatment process. At Sexy Visage, we offer microchanneling as a gentler and more precise alternative to microneedling. Our trained professionals use advanced microchanneling devices to create microchannels in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process without causing unnecessary damage.
This results in improved skin texture, reduction of fine lines and scars, and an overall rejuvenated appearance. With microchanneling at Sexy Visage, you can achieve beautiful, youthful-looking skin with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Not much! You will have some discomfort, but by the end of your treatment, it subsides. There is no lingering discomfort, and we have several strategies to minimize pain during treatment and reduce redness after the treatment. After the procedure, most people report a “tight” feeling in their skin.
Our trained professionals are dedicated to ensuring your comfort throughout the process and can provide additional information and tips to manage any sensations you may experience. Our priority is to make sure you have a positive and comfortable experience while achieving your desired results.

While the production of new collagen, known as neo-collagenesis, can take several weeks, clients typically start noticing an improvement in the quality and appearance of their skin within the first 24 hours after a treatment at Sexy Visage. After 2 to 3 treatments, a thicker, more robust, collagen-filled cellular matrix will produce more consistent and noticeable improvement. For the most dramatic and long-lasting results, we recommend six or more treatments to fully benefit from the transformative effects of our collagen treatments.

To determine if you are a perfect candidate for microchanneling, we require a consultation. The consultation is an investment of $30, but will be waived at your first appointment. During the consultation, we will go over your expectations, possible results, and conduct a screening to ensure this treatment is suitable for your skin type and condition. We will also provide you with a personalized treatment plan. This process allows us to ensure that microchanneling is the right choice for you and that we can achieve the best possible results.
