Microchanneling Facials

You can’t stop the decline of your skin’s collagen and elastin as lines and wrinkles appear on your face, but you can slow the aging process with microchanneling facials at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness. John Lasseter, MD, and his aesthetic team in Idaho Falls, Idaho, perform this procedure with great care to keep you comfortable while giving you exceptional results.

What are microchanneling facials?

Microchanneling facials are a way of getting brighter and tighter skin without surgery. Like microneedling, which is their predecessor, microchanneling stimulates the growth of fresh collagen and elastin to boost your skin’s health and improve its appearance. 

Your skin loses much of its structural collagen as you age, which leads to wrinkles, sagging, and generally less youthful-looking skin. By creating controlled damage with a microchanneling facial, you can induce new collagen growth to restore some of your skin’s youthfulness. 

Unlike microneedling, microchanneling doesn’t rely on small metal needles. Instead, it uses filament fibers to create the channels, which cause less damage to your skin and involve less discomfort. You even have less downtime than you would with microneedling. 

What are the results of a microchanneling facial?

Microchanneling offers remarkable anti-aging results for any and all skin types. The team at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness performs microchanneling facials with great precision to alleviate or minimize common skin features like:

• Large pores
• Acne scars
• Scars from injuries
• Hyperpigmentation
• Stretch marks
• Rosacea
• Fine lines and wrinkles

Right after the channeling happens, the team applies nourishing products like growth factors and serums across the surface of your skin. Because of the tiny channels the filaments create, your skin is more susceptible to these products and ready to absorb their nutrients for maximum benefits. 

How can I maintain the results of a microchanneling facial?

Maintaining your results from microchanneling or any other skin treatment at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness involves learning about your skin’s needs and taking great care of it between appointments. To keep your skin firm and glowing for a long time after a microchanneling facial, you must take steps to avoid further skin damage. This means:

• Only touching your skin with clean hands as it heals from treatment
• Avoiding irritants and allergens that inflame your skin
• Avoiding harsh exfoliating products
• Using sunscreen and staying out of the sun when you can 
• Avoiding artificial sources of ultraviolet (UV) light like tanning beds
• Moisturizing your skin often

The team at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness might recommend multiple microchanneling treatments to give your skin optimal improvements. You can also repeat the treatment later on as your skin continues to age.
