Microchanneling vs. Microneedling: What’s the Difference?

Unlock Radiant Skin with the Right Treatment
When it comes to skin rejuvenation, microchanneling and microneedling are two of the most popular treatments available today. While they share similarities, these innovative therapies offer distinct approaches to improving skin texture, tone, and health. At Premier Functional Medicine, we’re here to help you understand the differences and determine which treatment is right for you.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin.

Key Benefits of Microneedling:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improves skin texture and tone.
• Minimizes acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
• Enhances absorption of topical skincare products.

Ideal For:
Individuals seeking overall skin rejuvenation and improvement in texture and tone.

What is Microchanneling?

Microchanneling is a newer, more advanced form of microneedling that uses a stamping motion instead of rolling or dragging needles across the skin. This technique creates uniform microchannels in the skin, minimizing trauma and delivering more precise results. Often, microchanneling treatments include the application of serums or growth factors for enhanced outcomes.

Key Benefits of Microchanneling:

• Promotes collagen and elastin production.
• Reduces redness and irritation compared to microneedling.
• Enhances delivery of serums, growth factors, or PRP.
• Shorter recovery time.

Ideal For:
Patients with sensitive skin or those seeking a gentler alternative to microneedling.

Microneedling vs. Microchanneling: Key Differences

Which Treatment is Right for You?

• Choose Microneedling: If you’re looking to target deeper scars, wrinkles, or overall skin rejuvenation.
