Traditional microneedling pen creating skin channels for acne scar and anti-aging treatment

The Evolution of Microneedling

For years, traditional microneedling pens were the standard for treating acne scars and aging skin. But they had a mechanical flaw.

Most devices use a vibrating tip that is dragged across the skin. While this creates channels, the lateral movement often causes micro-tears (similar to a cat scratch). This unnecessary friction causes inflammation, bleeding, and days of “sunburn-like” downtime.

At Hydrate GA, we offer ProCell™ Microchanneling.

ProCell uses a precise, linear “stamping” technique. The filaments enter the skin vertically and exit vertically. There is no dragging. There is no tearing.

This allows us to create hundreds of thousands of clean micro-channels to stimulate collagen production without damaging the epidermis. You get the structural repair you want without the recovery time you don’t.

The Biological Process: Stimulus + Fuel

ProCell works by leveraging your body’s natural regenerative response. It is a two-part physiological cycle.

The Stimulus (The Channels)

The device stamps microscopic channels into the dermis. These controlled inputs signal your immune system to begin a remodeling process. Your body responds by reinforcing the area with new, high-quality collagen and elastin.

The Fuel (The Growth Factors)

While those channels are open, we apply a potent serum containing human stem cell-derived growth factors.

Why this matters

As we age, our natural stem cells become less efficient at signaling repair. The ProCell serum provides the pristine, high-volume signals found in youthful tissue.

Absorption

Because the skin barrier is temporarily open, the serum is absorbed 340% more effectively than a topical application, delivering these repair signals deep into the dermis.

RPA

Can be added to super charge your results even faster for an additional fee.

ProCell microchanneling treatment for acne scarring and skin texture improvement in Athens GA.

Conditions We Treat in Athens

ProCell is our primary solution for texture and tone issues. Because it does not use heat (like lasers), it is safe for all skin types and tones.

  • Acne Scarring: Breaks down old, fibrotic scar tissue and replaces it with fresh skin matrix. This is a top request for our student and young professional clients in Athens.
  • Fine Lines: Plumps the dermis to smooth out static wrinkles and “crepey” texture.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Helps break up pigment clusters (sun spots or melasma) for a more even tone.
  • Large Pores: Tightens the structural integrity around the pore, reducing visibility.
  • Hair Regrowth: We also offer ProCell for the scalp to stimulate dormant follicles and encourage hair density.

Surgical Scarring: Reduces the appearance of surgical scars

Skin Tightening: Effective for the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and body areas with lax skin, including the stomach, thighs, and arms.

Stack Your Treatments

Collagen doesn’t appear out of thin air. To get the best results from your microchanneling session, you need to support the manufacturing process.

The Raw Materials (The IV Stack)

ProCell sends the order to build collagen, but your body needs the bricks. Collagen synthesis requires high levels of Vitamin C and Amino Acids.

  • The Stack: Schedule a “Glow” IV Drip alongside your ProCell treatment. Saturating your blood with Vitamin C ensures your cells have the fuel to execute the repair order effectively.

The Smooth Canvas (The Injectables Stack)

It is hard to repair a road while cars are driving on it. It is hard to repair a wrinkle while you keep folding the skin.

  • The Stack: Use Cosmetic Injectables to relax the muscle movement first. This keeps the skin still and smooth, allowing the new collagen generated by ProCell to lay down flat and even.

Recovery Timeline

The “No Downtime” Reality

With old-school microneedling, you might hide indoors for 3 days. With ProCell, the recovery is accelerated.

  • Minutes 0–90: You will look pink, similar to a mild sunburn.
  • Hour 2: The pinkness largely fades.
  • Next Morning: You can apply makeup and return to your normal routine—whether that’s work, class, or dinner Downtown.

Frequently Asked Questions | ProCell Microchanneling

Yes. This is one of ProCell’s significant advantages. Unlike lasers that use heat (which can trigger hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin), ProCell uses mechanical stimulation. It is generally considered safe for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I–VI.

For general anti-aging and “glow,” 1–2 treatments may be sufficient. For correcting acne scars or deep wrinkles, we typically recommend a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to allow for cumulative collagen stacking. For hair restoration, we recommend 3 treatments, 2 weeks apart. until desired results are achieved.

No. PRP facials and treatments use your own blood (platelets). ProCell uses a lab-cultured human growth factor serum. We prefer this because the lab serum is standardized and potent, whereas your own blood quality can vary based on your age, health, and hydration levels.

Most individuals may notice a “tightness” and glow within a few days. However, collagen production is a biological process. Visible structural changes (smoother texture, shallower scars) typically appear around week 3–4 and continue to improve for months.
