  Welcome to the Pixie Garden podcast.

  I'm Jess here with licensed cosmetologist, Delina Markland.
• 0:27
  Delina, you offer Procell microchanneling as a hair loss treatment right in your salon.
• 0:32
  For anyone who has never heard of it, what is it and why did you bring it in?
• 0:36
  I brought it in because I kept watching clients with thinning hair feel completely stuck.
• 0:40
  They were not ready for medical interventions, but the drugstore products were doing nothing.
• 0:44
  There was a huge gap in the middle, and Procell fills it.
• 0:49
  This is a hands-on in salon hair restoration treatment.
• 0:53
  It is not something you order online and do at home.
• 0:56
  You come into the chair and I use a device that creates thousands of tiny microchannels in the scalp.
• 1:01
  Each about the width of a single hair.
• 1:03
  That triggers your body's natural wound healing response, which floods the area with your own growth factors.
• 1:11
  Then I apply Procell's stem cell-derived growth factor serum directly into those channels,
• 1:16
  right where the follicles live.
• 1:18
  Your body's repair response plus targeted growth factors delivered exactly where they need to go.
• 1:23
  Does it hurt? That sounds intense.
• 1:25
  It sounds worse than it feels.
• 1:27
  Most clients describe it as light scratching.
• 1:29
  The channels are so small that there is very little discomfort, and the downtime is basically nothing.
• 1:34
  A little redness for a few hours, like a mild sunburn, and that is it.
• 1:38
  I have clients who come in on a lunch break and go right back to work.
• 1:41
  Who is the right candidate? Is this hair thinning treatment for anyone losing hair?
• 1:45
  This is the part I am very careful about.
• 1:47
  Microchanneling works best as an early to moderate hair thinning treatment.
• 1:51
  If your ponytail feels half the size it used to,
• 1:54
  if you are seeing more scalp at your part, if there is more hair in the drain than a couple years ago,
• 2:00
  that is the sweet spot.
• 2:02
  The follicles are still alive, just underperforming, and this can help wake them up.
• 2:07
  But for advanced hair loss where follicles have been dormant for years,
• 2:11
  I tell people to see a dermatologist first.
• 2:13
  I am a cosmetologist, not a doctor, and being honest about that line is part of being a professional.
• 2:19
  I am also not going to promise anyone regrowth.
• 2:24
  What I can promise is a real insolent protocol and honest tracking.
• 2:28
  Tell me about that protocol, how many sessions and when do people see something?
• 2:32
  It is a series of six treatments in the salon spaced about four weeks apart.
• 2:36
  Most clients start noticing changes around session three or four.
• 2:39
  First it is less shedding, then little baby hairs, then gradual thickening.
• 2:43
  I photograph every session, so we are tracking it objectively instead of guessing.
• 2:48
  Results vary.
• 2:49
  I have seen dramatic changes and subtle ones.
• 2:52
  The photos keep us honest about what is actually happening.
• 2:55
  And because every session is hands on, this only works if you can come in locally and commit to the full series.
• 3:01
  Is there anything people should do at home to support it?
• 3:04
  Skelp health between sessions matters, so I point my prosel clients to the scalp protocol scrubs in my shop
• 3:09
  to keep the foundation strong between visits.
• 3:11
  But the treatment itself, the part that actually drives the restoration, happens in the chair.
• 3:16
  So if you are dealing with thinning and you want to know whether microchanneling is right for you,
• 3:21
  the move is to book a consultation at the salon.
• 3:24
  We look at your scalp in person and build the plan from there.
• 3:28
  A real hair loss treatment done hands on in the salon.
