Health & Restoration using Procell Therapies Microchanneling
Hair loss is an experience familiar to many people, particularly as we age. Close to 80% of men experience some degree of hair loss in their lifetime, with around half of all men seeing signs of hair loss by the age of 50. For women, approximately 40% will notice thinning at the same age.
Hair loss can be distressing for both men and women, and can occur for a range of reasons. If you’re beginning to notice hair loss, know that intervention is often possible. Procell Microchanneling is a treatment option used by some clients experiencing hair thinning, including androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss).
Why Consider Procell for Hair Restoration?
Procell Microchanneling is a versatile treatment, also used more broadly as a cosmetic skin treatment to support the skin’s natural healing process, collagen production, and scar improvement.
For hair restoration specifically, Procell is a non-surgical option. No incisions, no general anaesthetic, no extended recovery. Sessions are quick, discomfort is minor, and most clients are straight back to their day. If you’re weighing up options and want something lower-commitment before considering anything more invasive, this is often where people start.
The Science Behind Microchanneling for Hair Restoration
What exactly does a microchanneling treatment do to promote hair growth?
Supports Collagen Production
Collagen makes up a significant part of your skin, including your scalp, and naturally declines with age - a process that can begin as early as your mid-20s. Collagen provides structural support for hair follicles. When collagen in the scalp declines, hair growth can slow, and in more advanced cases, follicles may become dormant. Microchanneling is designed to stimulate the scalp's natural collagen production.
Improved Blood Flow to the Scalp
Good blood flow supplies hair follicles with the nutrients and oxygen they need to support healthy hair growth. The microchanneling process is designed to encourage immediate blood flow to the treated area of the scalp.
Stimulates Activity in Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Microchanneling is designed to stimulate stem cells found within hair follicles, which can support growth factor activity in the area. This provides yet another boost for healthy hair growth.
Improves Product Absorption
Procell's published data cites up to 300% greater product absorption following treatment, since hair follicles sit just below the skin's surface and the microchannels created give products more direct access. This is relevant for the serum used during your treatment, and for the aftercare you take home. If you're using a topical hair growth product at home already (such as minoxidil), microchanneling can also improve how well this penetrates the scalp.
What to Expect During Treatment
During your session, a fine, surgical-grade steel microchanneling device (looks similar to a microneedling tip) is used directly on the scalp in a tapping motion, focused on the area of concern. Most treatments take around 20–30 minutes. Some redness, mild swelling, or tenderness in the treated area is common afterward, generally settling within a few days.
Why Clients Choose Non-Surgical Hair Restoration
These include:
- 01No Surgery RequiredNo incisions, no general anaesthetic, no surgical downtime.
- 02Works for a Range of Hair LossSuitable for both men and women, and doesn't require a specific degree of thinning to be worth considering.
- 03Minimal DisruptionSessions are quick, discomfort is minor and short-lived, and most clients are back to normal activities the same day.
- 04Lower Commitment Starting PointGenerally more accessible upfront than surgical hair restoration, if you want to try a less invasive option first.
What to Expect, and How Many Treatments You’ll Need
Outcomes vary from person to person. A pre-assessment is an important first step, reviewing the condition of your follicles in the treatment area. In some cases, treatment may not be suitable if follicles are no longer present.
Most hair restoration treatment plans involve a course of sessions spaced around 4 weeks apart. The exact number needed depends on your individual hair condition and goals, and will be discussed during your consultation.
A hair care serum is also recommended to use between sessions, to help support results between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I'm a good candidate for hair restoration treatment?
Both men and women experiencing thinning hair or early-stage hair loss can be suitable candidates. A pre-assessment of your scalp and follicles is the first step in determining whether this treatment is right for you.
What causes hair thinning or hair loss?
Hair loss can have a number of causes, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and ageing. Understanding the likely cause helps guide the right approach – this will be part of your consultation.
Does it hurt, and is there downtime?
Most clients experience minimal discomfort, with no numbing required. Some redness or mild tenderness in the scalp is common afterward, generally settling within a few days, with no significant downtime.
How many sessions will I need?
Most treatment plans involve a course of sessions spaced roughly 4 weeks apart. The right number for you depends on your hair’s condition and your goals, and will be confirmed during your consultation.
When will I see results?
Hair regrowth takes time, as hair follicles move through a natural growth cycle. Most clients see results building over several months rather than immediately. Your practitioner will talk you through realistic timeframes for your specific situation.
How is this different from surgical hair restoration?
Procell Microchanneling is non-surgical and minimally invasive, which some clients prefer as a starting point before considering more involved options. Suitability differs from person to person, so it’s worth discussing your goals and options during a consultation.
