Question 1

What is MICROCHANNELING?

Accepted Answer

Similar to microneedling, microchanneling is a non-invasive procedure designed to stimulate your body’s natural ability to generate collagen, elastin and other building blocks of healthy skin. By stimulating the outermost layers of the skin, microchanneling can help your jump-start your body’s natural process. Increases in collagen and communication levels in the skin facilitate thicker, younger looking skin with minimal downtime.   Microchanneling is a popular treatment for acne scars, surgery scars and stretch marks. Scars improvement occurs by breaking down the old tissue and fostering the development of healthier skin. When combined with cutting-edge growth factor serums, healing is improved and future signs of aging is diminished.   Microchanneling involves a 3-stage process:   Micro-needles create micro-channels – Precision micro-needles are tapped into the skin creating uniform micro-channels. A single pass over the face will create hundreds of thousands of micro-channels.   Stimulation of a healing response – Each micro-channel is surrounded by healthy tissue, which enhances the healing process. In response to each micro-injury, an inflammatory healing process begins which initiates the formation of new collagen.   Smoothing of Skin – Over time, the repeated healing process will build new collagen, creating healthier skin, improving the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin.

Question 2

What are the benefits of Microchanneling?

Accepted Answer

Microchanneling treatments are minimally invasive, and are safe for all ages and skin types. Whether you are fair-skinned or dark, and even if you experience chronic breakouts, properly conducted microchanneling treatments will not result in hyperpigmentation, keloid scars or other lasting negative side effects.   Ideal candidates are those who seek improvement in the following areas: Acne scars Fine lines and wrinkles Anti-aging or skin tightening Hyperpigmentation (sun spots) Pore size reduction Rosacea Stretch marks or other traumatic scarring Hair growth

Question 3

Microchanneling vs. Microneedling

Accepted Answer

The main differences between microchanneling and microneedling are the type of device used to perform the treatment and the technique that is used. A microneedling device involves the use of a handheld roller covered in tiny needles which is dragged over the skin. This method can actually tear the skin.   Instead, the microchanneling device encompasses a linear stamping technique, resulting in clean, consistent micro-channels. This reduced tissue damage results in reduced inflammation and substantially decreased discomfort for clients. Reduced inflammation means less downtime.   Typical downtime after a microchanneling treatment is 60-90 minutes, compared to days of downtime with microneedling.

Question 4

Other (Microchanneling) F&A

Accepted Answer

Q: Does it hurt?   A: With minimal physical discomfort, most clients are able to do the procedure without numbing cream and without any noticeable pain. There is no lingering discomfort, and we have a number of strategies we employ to minimize discomfort during treatment. Post-procedure, most people report a “tight” feeling in their skin.   Q: What is in the serum?   A: ProCell’s Microchannel Delivery Serum contains bone marrow-derived growth factors in a hyaluronic acid suspension. Both of these elements are naturally-occurring in the human body. There are no human, animal, or plant cells, DNA, blood, or any other foreign substances. The product has been used safely and effectively for over a decade.   Q: My skin is irritated. Can I use moisturizer?   A: It is normal for treatments to result in some skin irritation, especially for clients with more sensitive skin. Always wait a minimum of 90 minutes before putting anything else on the skin. During this time it is normal for the skin to remain pink or light red. After the 90 minutes you can apply additional moisturizer or other products. Keep in mind however, that as your skin may be more sensitive than usual for several days after the treatment, especially strong topicals should be avoided until the skin returns to normal.   Q: How long before I can expect to see results?   A: Though neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen) can take several weeks, it is not abnormal to notice an improvement in the quality and appearance of your skin within the first 24 hours. After 2-3 treatments a thicker more robust, collagen filled cellular matrix will produce more consistent and noticeable improvement. And 6 or more treatments may be recommended for scarring, laxity and wrinkles.   Q: Are there any contraindications?   A: If you have any underlying condition that significantly impairs your immune system, it is a good idea to avoid microchanneling. Examples include but are not limited to active radiation or chemotherapy, uncontrolled diabetes, chronic inflammatory skin disease, Accutane in the past 2 years, hemophilia or similar bleeding disorder. Also anyone with stainless steel allergies should not do this treatment. We also discourage treatments for those who are pregnant or nursing.   Q: Do I have to use the Microchanneling solution / aftercare serums?   A: Microchanneling stimulates the body to release peptides, cytokines and growth factors that induce collagen production. As you get older, the stem cells that produce these vital proteins lose efficacy and decline in population, so microchanneling alone becomes less and less effective. Because of premature aging, the Microchannel Delivery Serum and the post care Cellular Renewal Serum and Healing Accelerator Serum become more vital to improvement.   Use of the ProCell aftercare products ensure the skin continuously receives potent, robust, pristine peptides, cytokines and growth factors even in between treatments. Think of diet and exercise – microchanneling without serums is like exercising without dieting. Results are great with microchanneling alone, but are significantly amplified with serums.

Question 5

What is RADIO FREQUENCY (RF)  TECHNOLOGY?

Accepted Answer

This is a two-part answer; first, therapy is electromagnetic radiation delivered at a specific frequency range, also known as radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation surrounds us, coming from such sources as lightning, the stars, the sun, and our bodies. They span quite a range of frequencies and wavelengths. Frequency relates to the number of cycles formed in one second and is measured in Hertz; a wavelength describes the distance between two wave peaks.   Second, we divide radio frequency into bands ranging from low to high. Low frequencies, such as those used for sending data and voice communications, travel longer distances. High frequencies, on the other hand, transmit just a short distance. Higher frequencies are those used to treat the human body in both medicine and aesthetics.   RF Currents and Your Body   RF currents flow through cells and tissues without shocking the body, unlike other electrical currents. Our nerves maintain electrical charges of their own. Any outside electrical source affects them, which is why an electric shock induces pain and makes our muscles twitch. An RF current travels too rapidly to produce these effects. It moves at the speed of light, meaning muscles and nerves don’t even register it. But our cells conduct RF currents and use them as part of their own electrical circuits. RF therefore moves freely through tissues, and any sources of resistance generate heat. The amount of heat created depends on the specific tissue reached.

Question 6

What are the benefits of RF Skin Rejuvenation?

Accepted Answer

The two most visible benefits provided by this treatment are tighter skin and a smoother surface – meaning fewer wrinkles. But RF therapy is versatile, so you can also expect an improvement in sun damage. Studies show that after three months of RF treatment, patients saw clinically significant improvements in mild to moderate signs of sun damage. This is great news for those with photoaged skin; treating dark spots, sagging, and other effects of the sun is notoriously hard to do. Most people think aging is the only culprit behind collagen degradation, but the sun is even more vicious. The ability to reverse UV damage is, therefore, nothing less than revolutionary, and RF technology does precisely this.   Facial Contouring   Before we get further into this subject, let’s take a look at how skin ages. Below the surface, in those depths invisible to the eye, a collagen and elastin scaffolding supports the dermis and epidermis. This structure keeps your skin supple, bouncy, and firm. From age 25 on, however, we lose between 1 and 2% of our natural collagen each year. This is an effect of the body’s processes gradually slowing. In turn, the scaffolding grows weaker and crumbles. To make matters worse, the cells on our skin’s surface (the epidermis) don’t renew as quickly as in our youth. The results are dullness, sagging, wrinkles, and textural issues.   Radiofrequency comes to the rescue, not only tightening skin, as mentioned earlier, but also restoring contours to create toned, firm, youthful-looking skin. This firming action makes RF especially well-suited to the chin, neck, and jawline. It can also be used to tighten:   Sags between the nose and mouth Bags and wrinkles under and above the eyes Drooping brow lines Gradual Improvements to Your Face   We’ll discuss this more in a moment, but RF treatments work to produce new collagen and elastin in the body. With these effects, old and damaged skin is replaced by that which is new and healthy. These cells are also naturally firmer and tighter, but they don’t develop overnight. You won’t look one way on Thursday and look completely different by Friday or Saturday.   Most patients desire gradual improvements because they want to look like themselves, but better. They’re looking for subtle improvements over dramatic changes, and RF delivers these exact results.   Softens Fine Lines Treatment also softens fine lines that are just pesky enough to add years to your face. Each subsequent session builds upon the last so that as you move forward in your treatment plan, you’ll look progressively younger.   Long-Lasting Results   Thanks to increased collagen and elastin production, the improvements to your skin will be long-lasting. Some facial treatments only stimulate facial muscles or temporarily plump tissues; RF, on the other hand, triggers the skin’s internal healing processes, and collagen is inherently made to last. Your results can therefore continue up to two years.   Increases Hyaluronic Acid (HA) HA is the unsung hero of skincare. It also works in tandem with collagen and elastin, so where those two fibers increase, HA is sure to follow. This means that with RF treatments, you can enjoy softer, silkier, and better-moisturized skin.   HA molecules naturally attract and bind to water molecules. It’s therefore a key component of your skin’s natural moisture barrier, and ramping up levels can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soothe redness, and help skin look plumper.   It Can Be Completed at Lunch   The average session lasts between 20 and 45 minutes. We apply a protective gel to your skin to facilitate treatment. The handpiece is then moved across your face with deft efficiency. And your treatment is unique to you; we customize the depth of thermal energy to ensure we meet your individual needs.   Relaxing and Pain-Free   One of the most appealing aspects of RF therapy is its non-invasive and gentle nature. While the energy heats and ultimately tightens tissues, it does so without damaging your skin’s top layer. And for patients who hate needles, RF omits them as well as other scary-looking tools for a treatment that is very non-threatening.   Patients describe sessions as relaxing and enjoyable, comparing them to a hot stone massage for the face. Some even fall asleep. Likewise, no downtime is required so you can get straight back to your day; you don’t need to hide your skin or go home to recover.

Question 7

What are the effects of the RF treatment?

Accepted Answer

During treatment, RF stimulates structures under the skin, and the heat produced causes targeted, controlled damage. Heating skin to around 152 degrees F prompts the best results, and in turn, collagen and elastin both undergo degradation. This is a complex way of saying they unravel and immediately cause the collagen matrix to shrink and contract. The skin then lifts and tightens to deliver a more youthful appearance.   Meanwhile, your body enters a healing mode just as it would after suffering a skin cut or other wound. Fibroblast cells found in the skin’s deepest layers produce brand new collagen and elastin fibers. This increase is known as dermal remodeling and works to:   Improve skin’s elasticity Erase lines and wrinkles Tighten and firm tissues Improve skin’s overall texture and volume Added Bonuses   The heat generated during treatment also increases cell metabolism and helps detoxify tissues. At the heat temperatures we achieve, blood vessels widen to increase blood flow and feed cells with more oxygen and nutrients. All that fresh, healthy blood flowing into your face also removes waste products like carbon dioxide. The effect is hard-working cells that provide an energy boost for dermal remodeling – and overall healthier skin.

Question 8

Other (RF) Frequently asked questions:

Accepted Answer

We know you’re wondering about the number of treatments you’ll need. At Enliven Your Skin, we usually recommend a series of three to four sessions spaced between two and four weeks apart. Maintenance sessions are encouraged every year or every other year to help maintain your results.   Who Is Treatment Right For?   Any man or woman who wants to sculpt trouble spots without pain or long periods of downtime. But others can also benefit from RF treatment; it’s suitable for most people as it helps invigorate the skin and deliver a healthy glow. That glow is owed to increased collagen; to understand, imagine the shiny cheeks of a child, dewy with fresh collagen. This effect can be replicated at nearly any age with treatments that amplify the protein’s levels.   Why Skin Types Can Have RF?   Treatment is designed for all skin types, including those with sensitive and dry tissues. It boosts oxygen levels in the skin, so it can freshen your appearance at any time. But those with certain conditions should sit this one out, including patients who are pregnant and/or have:   Active acne Rosacea Broken capillaries When Will I See Results?   Earlier, we mentioned your face will gradually look softer and more supple. While we can’t provide a precise timeline because everyone responds to treatment differently, we can say you’ll start to see improvements within several weeks. Results will also continue to develop in the coming months.   Is Treatment Safe?   The answer is a resounding yes. In fact, RF facial skin tightening is much less risky than more invasive treatments. The technique has earned FDA approval, and there are no unwanted effects on the skin.

My choice is DNA Skin Institute! Rezenerate Facials performed in a series will be done at 2 week intervals. After the completion of a series, monthly treatments can be done for maintenance

Question 12

Will I experience any psychotrophic effects from using your products?

Accepted Answer

No, absolutely not. As noted by an article written for Healthgrages... CBD products can be made from either the hemp plant or the cannabis plant, which are closely related varieties of the same cannabis species, Cannabis sativa. CBD products contain a cannabinoid—a chemical—called cannabidiol, which does not make you high. The substance in marijuana that causes a buzz is a different cannabinoid, called THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol. Our products are THC-Free.

Question 13

Do topical CBD skincare products show up in a blood test?

Accepted Answer

As noted by Healthgrades MD, when CBD is absorbed topically it does not enter the bloodstream but rather connects with nearby cannabinoid receptors through the skin pores. Further, topical application and skin absorption with topical application it is highly unlikely, and close to impossible, for an amount of THC to be absorbed and metabolized by the body and detected in a drug test. And remember, the hemp-derived extract in our products are considered THC-Free ND=None Detected (Definded by the Dynamic Range of the method). Of course, there are circumstances that could change this such as the use of penetration enhancers, transdermal patches, and a higher than legal limit of THC in the product which is true of other CBD products on the market. Topical CBD products are used for pain, inflammation and skin conditioning where the cannabidiols function by way of receptors in the cutaneous layers of the skin. Penetration into the blood is not necessary for localized therapeutic effect. The skin is designed to keep things out, making it logical that studies using blood and urine sampling find no penetration of cannabinoids following application.

Question 14

What are Terpenes and what do they do?

Accepted Answer

Secreted in the same glands that produce cannabinoids like THC and CBD, terpenes are aromatic oils that color cannabis varieties with distinctive flavors like citrus, berry, mint, and pine. Not unlike other strong-smelling plants and flowers, the development of terpenes in cannabis began for adaptive purposes: to repel predators and lure pollinators. There are many factors that influence a plant’s development of terpenes, including climate, weather, age and maturation, fertilizers, soil type, and even the time of day. Over 100 different terpenes have been identified in the cannabis plant, and every strain tends toward a unique terpene type and composition. In other words, a strain like Cheese and its descendants will likely have a discernible cheese-like smell, and Blueberry offspring often inherit the smell of berries. Terpenes may play a key role in differentiating the effects of various cannabis strains. Some terpenes might promote relaxation and stress-relief, and anti-inflammation.

Question 15

What is The Curve and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The Curve is a multi-functional (4-in-1) professional grade device that uses four innovative and effective techniques that stand for rejuvenation of the skin, optimal shaping of the body and a significant reduction of cellulite.

Question 16

RF VS. Microcurrent VS. Ultrasound

Accepted Answer

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF)   Radio Frequency devices are one of the most effective and popular at home skincare devices out there because they’re relatively easy to use and can deliver the desired results. The way that RF devices work is they expose your skin to targeted heat in the form of radio frequency. This accelerates the production of collagen which increases the plumpness and tightness of the skin making it appear more youthful. The added plumpness and tightness of the skin helps to remove or soften fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help tighten and contour sagging skin in the neck area that is a common insecurity for people. Additionally, it works well for thin and crepey skin around the eyelids and on fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and forehead.   Though this method does work well, it works best for those who don’t have much sagging or very loose skin. It’s ideal for those who have some fine lines and wrinkles or for younger people who are being proactive to prevent aged skin in the future. In addition, home skincare devices using radio frequency aren’t good for those who are short on time and want dramatic results fast. In most cases several treatments are needed to achieve desired results.   Pros of Radio Frequency   ●     Tightens skin ●     Effectively reduces wrinkles and fine lines ●     Little to no recovery time ●     Easy to use   Cons of Radio Frequency ●     May need multiple treatments to get desired results *     Can be very painful ●     Not recommended for people with pacemakers or metal implants     ULTRASOUND SKINCARE DEVICES   At home skincare devices that rely on ultrasound are best for those who are looking for more dramatic results that show up instantly and last longer. As a non-invasive way to tighten skin, ultrasound devices use ultrasound waves to cause a vibration in the surrounding skin to generate a subtle heat in the tissue. The rise in temperature helps to increase the oxygen supply to cells which aids in waste removal. When using an ultrasound device your skin usually feels energized and firm instantly, something most people love about these devices.   Ultrasound devices work well for those who are looking for a dramatic reduction in signs of aging. These work well for skin tightening, improved jawline definition, neck contouring, and upper eyelid hooding.   Pros of Ultrasound ●     Should be able to see results after just one treatment ●     More dramatic results ●     Results tend to last longer ●     Little to no downtime ●     Though you can feel it working, there is no pain ●     Effective for wrinkles, acne ●     Improves firmness of skin ●     Easy to use   Cons of Ultrasound   ●     Possibility of redness and slight swelling after the procedure ●     Not recommended to those with keloids, open wounds, dermal/mechanical/meta/electrical implants ●     Not for use on pregnant women   Ultrasound can be quite effective as an at-home treatment. Be careful to purchase pro-level/vetted devices to get the best benefit vs. inferior knock-offs. These look the same but do not have the same efficacy of higher-end devices. Also, the treatment for ultrasound at home is short, but only done twice weekly. It is not recommended to exceed that.   
 MICROCURRENT  At-home skincare devices that use microcurrents send electricity to the skin to subtly lift and firm the skin. These are sometimes called “facial trainers” and can be said to increase lymphatic drainage, stimulate collagen production, and reduce fine lines over a period of time. These devices can result in skin that is toned, tighter, and looks more lifted. However, microcurrent devices are best used to maintain healthy and youthful skin rather than to dramatically reverse the signs of aging. Although these devices are completely painless, microcurrent devices do require consistency and long term commitment to see noticeable results.    Pros of Microcurrent ●     Good to maintain healthy and youthful skin ●     Can be good to use in combination with other treatment to keep skin tight/defined ●     Most find it completely painless   Cons of Microcurrent ●     Best used as a preventative measure, not for those who need dramatic results ●     Must be used consistently for good results
