SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling uses needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This simple process activates your body’s natural healing response, boosting the production of collagen and elastin. The result is skin that looks young and more radiant.
Procell Microchanneling
Unlike traditional microneedling with SkinPen, Procell Microchanneling combines microchanneling with the delivery of growth factors derived from stem cells. Using advanced single-use microfilaments, it creates uniform channels in the skin to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin while delivering serums deep into the skin. This leads to a quicker recovery with less downtime and better results.
How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?
SkinPen by Bellus Medical is the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA, clinically proven to safely and effectively treat facial acne scars for ages 22 and up.
There are three phases to the wound-repair process:
- Phase I: Inflammation – Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue.
- Phase II: Proliferation – The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
- Phase III: Remodeling – The wound is replaced with new dermal tissue and blood vessels.
With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance for six months after your last treatment – and step out with confidence. To book microneedling in Knoxville, patients can call us to schedule a consultation.
Skinpen Microneedling Before & Afters
How Does Procell Microchanneling Work?
Procell Microchanneling goes beyond traditional microneedling by creating thousands of microchannels. These microchannels stimulate collagen production and work in combination with growth-factor serums derived from human bone marrow stem cells, helping the skin naturally repair and rejuvenate itself.
The treatment works in three phases that mirror your skin’s own healing process.
- Stimulation: The microchannels signal your body to begin repairing the skin and boosting blood flow.
- Rejuvenation: Growth-factor proteins penetrate deeply to trigger the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of smooth skin.
- Renewal: Healthier tissue gradually replaces the old, revealing skin that looks softer and more youthful over a series of sessions.
Procell Microchanneling Before and After
Why You May Need Microneedling
- Skin Aging and Loss of Elasticity — As we age, collagen and elastin production gradually decline, leading to visible changes such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Microneedling stimulates the body’s natural repair process to encourage new collagen growth, which helps restore firmness and smoothness. Over time, this may soften visible signs of aging and support healthier, more resilient skin.
- Uneven Skin Texture and Scars — Concerns like acne scars, enlarged pores, and rough texture often persist despite the use of topical skincare. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger skin cell turnover and tissue remodeling. This process helps minimize the appearance of scars, refines pore size, and produces a more even surface that looks and feels smoother.
- Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation — Prolonged sun exposure can leave lasting marks in the form of discoloration, dark spots, and blotchy skin tone. By stimulating fresh cell growth, microneedling promotes a clearer, more balanced complexion. Regular treatments may also improve skin brightness, helping to reduce the dullness that often accompanies sun damage.
- Preventive Skin Health — Microneedling is not limited to correcting existing concerns. By maintaining collagen stimulation through periodic sessions, individuals can help delay the onset of visible aging. Preventive treatments may slow the development of fine lines and maintain skin quality, keeping the complexion healthier and more youthful over time.
- Stretch Marks and Body Skin Concerns — Although often associated with the face, microneedling can also address concerns on other areas of the body. Stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, or arms may appear less pronounced after a series of treatments, as the skin gradually repairs and rebuilds itself in the treated areas.
- Improved Absorption of Skincare — Microneedling temporarily increases the skin’s permeability, allowing topical serums and medical-grade skincare products to penetrate more effectively. This can enhance the impact of active ingredients, making at-home care more beneficial in the days following treatment.

FAQs About SkinPen Microneedling and Procell Microchanneling
Will microneedling work for me?
Unlike some alternatives, SkinPen has been clinically proven to be effective for women and men with skin ranging from light to very dark. Likewise, unlike lasers or chemical peels that can damage skin over the long term, SkinPen treatments, when properly spaced and overseen by a physician, can be used for years.
How does it work?
SkinPen creates hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process – inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling – to prompt tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation.2 Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
What can I expect?
What skin concerns can microneedling help with?
Microneedling is designed to improve a variety of skin issues by encouraging the body’s natural healing response. It is commonly used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. The treatment also addresses uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation by promoting the growth of healthier skin cells, leading to a smoother and more uniform complexion over time.
Is Procell Microchanneling better than microneedling?
Both treatments stimulate collagen and elastin to improve skin texture and tone, but they work a little differently. Procell Microchanneling uses ultra-fine filaments paired with growth-factor serums to enhance results and reduce downtime. Many patients experience faster healing and less irritation with Procell compared to traditional microneedling.
What is the difference between microneedling and SkinPen?
Microneedling is treatment technique that uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production. SkinPen is a specific, FDA-cleared microneedling device that has been clinically proven to improve acne scars for people aged 22 years and older, safely and effectively.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes. Microneedling is considered safe for a wide range of skin tones and types. Unlike certain lasers or peels that may increase the risk of pigmentation changes, microneedling does not rely on heat or harsh chemicals, which makes it a more inclusive option for people with diverse skin tones.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of sessions, with each spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin’s natural repair cycle to progress. While many notice visible improvements after a single treatment, a series of three or more sessions often delivers the most noticeable and lasting results. The number of treatments recommended depends on individual skin concerns, goals, and how the skin responds to collagen stimulation.
