Microneedling vs. Microchanneling: What’s the Difference & Which Is Better for Your Skin?by Verni Beauty | Queen Anne, Seattle
If you’re looking to improve your skin’s texture, reduce scarring, or stimulate collagen production, you’ve likely come across both microneedling and microchanneling. At Verni Beauty in Queen Anne, Seattle, we offer both treatments — but while they sound similar, they serve slightly different purposes and use distinct technology.
Let’s break it down to help you decide which one is right for your skin.
🔹 What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) uses a device with very fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Best For:
Acne scars
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin tone
Mild texture issues
✅ At Verni Beauty, we perform microneedling in a sterile, professional setting using high-quality tools and aftercare designed to minimize downtime and maximize results.
🔹 What Is Microchanneling?
Microchanneling is an upgraded, more advanced version of microneedling. At Verni Beauty, we use ProCell™ Microchanneling, which uses a stamping device (not rolling or dragging) to create uniform microchannels in the skin. These channels allow growth factors and stem-cell serums to deeply penetrate and rejuvenate the skin.
Best For:
Sagging skin
Large pores
Hyperpigmentation
Clients looking for faster recovery
✅ It’s less inflammatory, more precise, and often comes with quicker healing time and better serum absorption.
If you’ve never tried skin resurfacing treatments before or are concerned about acne scars and texture, microneedling is a great place to start.
If you’re ready for a next-level treatment with faster recovery, deeper hydration, and powerful anti-aging effects, ProCell Microchanneling may be your best option.
