Microchanneling vs. Microneedling: What’s the Difference — and Which Is Right for You?

If you’ve been researching ways to smooth fine lines, fade acne scars, or get that all-around glow, you’ve probably heard of microneedling and microchanneling. Both treatments boost collagen and rejuvenate the skin — but the techniques (and results) are not the same.

At Beyond Aesthetics in Westport, MA, we proudly offer Procell Microchanneling, a next-generation skin rejuvenation treatment that takes everything you love about microneedling and makes it gentler, smarter, and more effective.

Let’s break it down 👇

Both microneedling and microchanneling work on a simple, science-backed principle:

Your skin heals beautifully when it’s stimulated to repair itself.

Tiny micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, producing fresh collagen and elastin  the building blocks of youthful, smooth skin. That means fewer lines, reduced scars, improved tone, and a gorgeous, healthy texture over time.

So yes they share the same goal.

But how they get you there is where things get interesting

Microneedling: The Classic Collagen Booster

Microneedling (often called Collagen Induction Therapy) uses tiny needles that puncture the skin vertically while a handheld device glides across the surface.

It’s effective but because the device moves across the skin, it can sometimes create microtears or leave uneven results if not performed with precision. Downtime can also vary, leaving skin red or sensitive for a few days post-treatment.

Don’t get us wrong microneedling paved the way for incredible skin rejuvenation…but technology has evolved.

Microchanneling: The Modern Upgrade

Enter Procell Microchanneling, the treatment we swear by at Beyond Aesthetics.

Think of it as microneedling 2.0 — with better precision, faster recovery, and enhanced results.

Here’s how it works:✨ A stamping technique (not dragging) creates perfectly uniform microchannels in the skin.✨ These microchannels deliver Procell Growth Factor Serums  packed with stem cell-derived peptides, deep into the skin where they work their magic.

✨ The skin responds by regenerating smoother, firmer, more youthful tissue with minimal downtime.

It’s cleaner, more consistent, and far less irritating making it ideal even for sensitive skin types.
