Procell Microchanneling for Stretch Marks

Causes of Stretch Marks

Stretch marks develop due to rapid skin expansion or contraction, which disrupts collagen and elastin production. This disruption hinders the skin’s ability to heal, leading to the formation of scar tissue. Common causes include pregnancy, growth spurts during adolescence, and rapid weight changes. These marks can appear anywhere on the body but are most common on the abdomen, thighs, hips, and breasts. The initial redness or purple hue of stretch marks signifies the body’s inflammatory response to the skin’s sudden stretching. Over time, as the inflammation subsides, the marks fade to a silvery-white color. However, the underlying structural damage remains, making them difficult to eliminate without targeted treatments.

Procell Microchanneling Treatment

[Procell Microchanneling](https://procelltherapies.com/) helps treat stretch marks by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. The treatment uses a device to create numerous tiny injuries in the skin, which trigger collagen and elastin production. By repeatedly healing these micro-injuries, the treatment breaks down scar tissue and promotes smoother, more resilient skin. This method is particularly effective because it targets both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, ensuring comprehensive regeneration. The procedure is minimally invasive, causing less discomfort and requiring shorter recovery times compared to traditional treatments. Patients can expect visible improvements in skin texture and elasticity after a few sessions.

Enhancing Healing with Growth Factor Serum

Following the microchanneling process, a serum rich in growth factors and cytokines is applied to the treated area. This serum penetrates the newly created microchannels, delivering powerful nutrients that enhance and expedite the healing process. The growth factors support ongoing collagen production, which continues for weeks after the treatment. This sustained healing response ensures that the improvements in skin texture and appearance are long-lasting. The application of the serum also helps reduce inflammation and promote uniform skin tone, further diminishing the visibility of stretch marks. The combined effects of microchanneling and the serum result in significant aesthetic and structural enhancements to the skin.
