Book this when you want everything from the chin up to match, with no disconnect between a youthful face and an aging neck.

+Everything included in the Face treatment, extended below the jawline
+Addresses crepey skin, horizontal lines, and loss of firmness on the neck

Follicle Stimulation

Treatment 03

Microchanneling Scalp (Hair Regrowth)

$215per session

Thinning hair is not just a cosmetic concern. It affects how you feel every time you look in the mirror or see yourself in photos. This treatment uses the same microchanneling technology to create pathways directly into your scalp, delivering Procell serums packed with growth factors, cytokines, and peptides into dormant hair follicles. These ingredients stimulate stem cells deep within the follicle, triggering regeneration and encouraging thicker, healthier hair growth over time.

+Micro-channels allow growth serums to penetrate directly into hair follicles
+Procell serums contain growth factors, cytokines, and peptides that stimulate stem cells
+Encourages dormant follicles to regenerate and produce healthier, thicker hair
+A proactive solution for thinning hair before it progresses further

The Reality

Your Skin Remembers Everything, and It Shows

The acne scars from your twenties that never fully faded. The fine lines that started as faint whispers and now show up in every photo. The texture changes that make your skin look older than you feel. These are not surface-level problems, and that is exactly why surface-level treatments have not worked.

You have tried the serums. The retinols. The expensive creams that promised to rebuild collagen and reverse time. Some helped a little. Most sat on top of your skin doing nothing because they could not reach where the damage actually lives. Deep in the dermis, where collagen has broken down and elastin has stopped bouncing back.

If thinning hair is your concern, you know that frustration even more intimately. Watching your part get wider. Noticing more scalp in photos. Trying every volumizing product on the market only to realize that no shampoo can wake up dormant follicles. The problem is not on the surface. It is underneath.

The Solution

Controlled Micro-Injuries That Trigger Real Regeneration

Microchanneling works differently than anything sitting on your bathroom shelf. Instead of coating your skin with ingredients that cannot penetrate, we create precise micro-channels that trigger your body's natural healing response. Your skin reads this as injury, floods the area with growth factors, and starts producing new collagen and elastin.

The result is actual structural change. Scars fill in from beneath. Fine lines soften as new collagen plumps the skin. Texture smooths as fresh, healthy cells replace damaged ones. For the scalp, those same micro-channels deliver growth factors directly into dormant follicles, encouraging thicker hair growth.

Clients across Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Capitol Hill, and Kalorama book microchanneling when they are ready for results that go beyond what facials can deliver. When they want visible, lasting change and are willing to invest in the process.

Microchanneling vs Microneedling

Why Microchanneling Beats Traditional Microneedling

Microchanneling and microneedling both create controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen, but the technique, the trauma, and the recovery are not the same. Here is exactly how they differ.

Traditional

Microneedling

−Drags or rolls needles across the skin in a horizontal motion

−Creates inconsistent channels with surrounding tissue trauma

−Longer recovery, more redness, higher risk of irritation

−Less consistent serum delivery into the dermis

−Often described as more painful, even with numbing

Skin In The Game DC

Microchanneling

+Stamps with a vertical motion using finer needles

+Creates clean, precise channels with minimal trauma

+Faster healing, less redness, virtually no downtime

+Direct delivery of TOMA growth factor serums into the dermis

+More tolerable, described as a mild prickling sensation

Is This Right For You

Microchanneling Is for You If Any of This Sounds Familiar

This treatment goes deeper than a custom facial. It is for anyone who has tried the creams, the serums, and standard treatments without seeing the transformation they wanted. Book if you are dealing with any of the following.

Not sure which area to start with? Most clients begin with Face, then add Neck or Scalp once they have seen results. The Treatment Packages let you lock in a series at a discount.

Common Concerns We Treat

+Acne scars that have lingered for years and never fully smoothed

+Fine lines and wrinkles deeper than surface-level products can reach

+Loss of firmness or elasticity that makes your skin look tired and aged

+Hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone that will not fade no matter what you try

+Crepey or sagging skin on your neck that gives away your age

+Thinning hair, a widening part, or visible scalp affecting your confidence

+Frustration with treatments that only address the surface, not the source

How many microchanneling sessions does it take to see results?+

For most concerns, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended. You will see improvement after the first session, but collagen regeneration builds over time. Deeper results like scar reduction, wrinkle softening, and hair regrowth develop over 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms and follicles regenerate. Cumulative results are where the real transformation happens.

What is the difference between microchanneling and microneedling?+

Microchanneling uses a stamping motion with finer needles, creating cleaner channels with less trauma to the skin. This means faster healing, less discomfort, and more consistent serum delivery compared to traditional microneedling rollers that drag across the skin. The result is a more controlled treatment with better product absorption and shorter recovery time.

What are the risks of microchanneling?+

Microchanneling is a minimally invasive treatment with very little downtime. The most common side effect is redness lasting 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. The stamping motion uses finer needles than traditional microneedling, creating cleaner channels with less trauma to the skin and faster healing. Avoid makeup for 24 hours and stay out of direct sun after your session.

Who is a good candidate for microchanneling?+

Microchanneling is for anyone dealing with acne scars that have lingered for years, fine lines deeper than surface products can reach, loss of firmness or elasticity, hyperpigmentation that will not fade, crepey or sagging neck skin, or thinning hair and visible scalp. If you have tried the creams, serums, and standard treatments without seeing real transformation, this treatment works at the source instead of the surface.

Does your face peel after microchanneling?+

Most clients can expect redness for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn, with most returning to normal activities the next day. Skin smoothing and an initial glow are visible within the first week as fresh, healthy cells replace damaged ones.

What should you avoid before microchanneling?+

Avoid active ingredients and blood thinners for one week before your appointment. This includes retinols, acids, and other potent topicals that could sensitize the skin and interfere with the treatment. Your esthetician will walk you through full pre-treatment prep when you book.

How painful is microchanneling?+

Most clients describe it as a mild prickling sensation. A numbing agent is applied before treatment to keep you comfortable throughout the session. Microchanneling uses a stamping motion with finer needles than traditional microneedling, which means less discomfort and less trauma to the skin. Clients consistently say it is far more tolerable than they expected.

Is microchanneling better than chemical peels?+

Microchanneling and chemical peels work differently. Chemical peels remove outer layers of skin to improve tone and texture. Microchanneling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body's natural healing response, flooding the area with growth factors and producing new collagen and elastin from within. For concerns like deep acne scars, loss of firmness, and thinning hair, microchanneling addresses the problem beneath the surface where peels cannot reach.

Can I combine microchanneling with other facial treatments?+

Yes. Many clients pair microchanneling with customized facials for enhanced results. Treatments are spaced appropriately, and we will help you build a plan that addresses all your concerns safely.
