Microchanneling at Laser Loft means ProCell. You should expect a sunburnt look after treatment and a treatment plan built as a series.
Your Skin Analysis is complimentary.
The method
If you are ready to stop simply maintaining your skin and start actively correcting it, meet ProCell Microchanneling. This is not your average service.
ProCell creates thousands of tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin. Those channels trigger your body’s natural rejuvenation response, support collagen and elastin, and temporarily let growth serums absorb deeper than they normally would.
You may also hear this work called collagen induction therapy. We use ProCell because it lets us work in a controlled, consistent way. Microchanneling is generally suitable for all skin tones because it works mechanically rather than by targeting pigment with light, but sun protection still matters and your skin is looked at first at your complimentary Skin Analysis.

The difference
Traditional microneedling usually uses a pen-like device that repeatedly moves needles across the skin. That motion can involve more dragging across the surface, which is why some people associate microneedling with more irritation.
Microchanneling uses a stamping-style device to create precise, uniform channels instead of dragging repeatedly across the surface.
That is why we love ProCell: it is controlled and consistent, involves minimal dragging or tearing, allows customizable depth, supports collagen and elastin, and brings little downtime for many patients.
At Laser Loft we exclusively offer Microchanneling, because it delivers better results with less downtime than traditional microneedling.
What it treats
This treatment can support so many skin goals.
ProCell Microchanneling can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, sun damage, dark spots and uneven pigmentation. It can also support dull, tired-looking skin, loss of firmness and elasticity, crepey-looking skin, and overall tone, texture and skin quality.
Firmness and a tighter-looking appearance are outcomes of the collagen response; if tightening is the main goal, Skin Resurfacing is where we treat that more directly.
Whether you are worried about texture, scars, pores, pigmentation or aging, or simply want stronger, smoother, healthier-looking skin, ProCell deserves a place in your treatment plan.
Named results
Microchanneling is often chosen for acne scarring because it works with the skin’s repair process instead of covering texture up. This treatment can also improve the appearance of stretch marks.
For acne scarring, your plan is built at the complimentary Skin Analysis after we see your skin, history and goal.

The session
The session runs 60 minutes. We numb the area first with a prescription compound cream of BLT: betacaine, lidocaine and tetracaine. Numbing cream generally needs about half an hour to work, so your appointment includes that wait.
Once you are numb, the stamping handpiece works section by section across the treatment area. It usually is not as painful as people expect. Most people describe the sensation as warmth or a light scratching, with more discomfort on bonier parts of the face like the forehead, nose and chin.
You go home with a vial of stem cells included in the price of your treatment, and you keep applying it because it supports the healing process. A Loveland client said their technician “was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to walk me through every step of the process.”
Before you come in
The usual advice is to pause retinol and exfoliants in the week or so before treatment, and to come in with skin that has not been freshly tanned. Recent sun is a reason to reschedule.
If you get cold sores, say so beforehand. It is a standard thing to plan around.
Candidates
This may be a good fit if you are dealing with acne scarring, rough texture, enlarged-looking pores, fine lines, laxity, stretch marks, or visible scarring.
The general picture is that active breakouts are usually brought under control first, and treatment is usually postponed for an active infection or cold sore in the area. People who form keloid scars are usually not candidates, and bleeding conditions, blood-thinning medication, a suppressed immune system or cancer treatment, moderate-to-severe eczema or psoriasis in the area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, a recent tan, uncontrolled diabetes, and allergies to stainless steel or numbing agents are among the things reviewed before treatment.
Tell us if you are on or have recently finished Accutane, too. Your medications and skin history are reviewed at your complimentary Skin Analysis so we can talk through what is smart for your skin.
Book
Afterwards
After Microchanneling, you can expect a sunburnt look for about 24 to 48 hours depending on the depth used. The redness usually fades progressively over the next day or two.
That flush is the wound-healing response doing the work, not something separate from the treatment. Most people go back to their day the next day, though skin often feels tight and dry and may flake a little while it settles.
On deeper skin tones, that same flush may show as temporary darkening rather than redness. Deeper work typically means a little more color afterwards, because how deep the treatment goes is matched to what is being treated.
The usual side effects are redness, mild swelling and tenderness, and they typically settle within a few days to about a week. Less often, people can get temporary darkening of the skin, a cold-sore flare-up or an irritation, which is why your skin and medical history are reviewed before treatment.
The usual aftercare is sunscreen, and staying off sun and strong actives for about a week.
The course
Microchanneling is typically done as a series rather than a one-off. Clinical guidance generally starts at three sessions, and most people space sessions somewhere between three and eight weeks apart.
That spacing is on purpose. Your skin is still building collagen from the last treatment, so the time between visits is part of the treatment, not a delay.
Your plan is set at the complimentary Skin Analysis. We look at your skin, your concern, and how your skin responds instead of treating a series like a script.
Results
Most clients see an immediate improvement in tone, texture and elasticity. The fuller collagen result builds more slowly.
Most people keep results up with a maintenance session. General advice usually sits somewhere in the six-to-twelve-month range, and how long a result holds depends on the skin, the concern and the treatment depth.
If the skin is not responding the way we want, we do not just keep repeating the same plan. We look at progress together, talk about what has changed, and adjust the plan at the complimentary Skin Analysis.
Why here
We chose ProCell Microchanneling because the stamping motion lets us create controlled channels without repeatedly dragging a pen across your skin. That choice is deliberate, because we want this treatment to stay consistent from area to area.
We perform Microchanneling on clean skin with a trained provider. The cartridges are single-use, so your treatment is not treated like a casual facial or a shared tool.
We plan Microchanneling as a series because each session builds on the last. Package pricing is discussed at your complimentary Skin Analysis, not added as pressure in the treatment room.
Microchanneling is bookable as an add-on to Nasolabial Fold filler or a wrinkle relaxer appointment at every Laser Loft clinic, and Venus Viva, the pairing on the laser side, is at our Denver clinic only.

Microchanneling is generally suitable across skin tones because it works mechanically rather than by targeting pigment with light. On deeper skin tones, the after-treatment flush may show as temporary darkening rather than redness, so sun protection and the Skin Analysis matter.
Yes, acne scars are one of the main concerns people choose Microchanneling for, and stretch marks are also a known treatment concern. The plan depends on the depth, age and texture of what we are treating.
You go home with a vial of stem cells after the session. It is included in the treatment price, and you keep applying it as your skin heals.
The session runs 60 minutes and includes the take-home vial of stem cells.
No, there is no upper age limit for Microchanneling. These devices are cleared for adults from 22 up. What matters is what the skin needs, which is what the Skin Analysis is for.
The usual advice is sunscreen, and staying off sun and strong actives for about a week. Be gentle with the skin while it settles.
Skip makeup for the first 24 hours. If your skin is settling normally, many people return to makeup the next day.
Microchanneling is usually postponed for active infection, cold sores in the area, active inflamed acne, recent tanning, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and some medication, healing or immune-system situations. We review your skin history and medications at your Skin Analysis.

The honest downside is that this is not a one-visit fix. It is a series, a few days of looking sunburnt each time, some discomfort even with prescription numbing, and a result that builds over months.
