Understanding the Healing Process


Procell Treatment stimulates the body's immune response, promoting collagen growth. You might wonder how soon you can return to your regular exercise routine after undergoing this treatment. Generally, it is advised to wait one to two days before engaging in intense physical activity. This period allows the microchannels created during the treatment to close properly, facilitating the natural healing process.


The treatment is designed to yield collagen development with minimal inflammation. Nevertheless, engaging in heavy exercise too soon can counteract this goal. Exercise-induced swelling and sweat can prolong recovery by causing irritation and potentially introducing bacteria into the micro-injuries.


The Importance of Timing


Why is timing essential? During the first 24 to 48 hours post-treatment, your skin is in a heightened state of vulnerability. Intense exercise increases blood flow and body temperature, which can lead to unnecessary swelling. Additionally, this period is crucial for the initial stages of collagen formation, and any interference can disrupt this process.


It is a common misconception that the sooner you get back to your routine, the better it is. However, in the case of Procell Microchanneling, patience plays a vital role in achieving optimal results. The micro-injuries need time to begin the repair process, which ultimately leads to smoother and more rejuvenated skin.


Recommended Activities


If you feel the need to stay active, opt for low-impact activities like walking or gentle yoga. These exercises help maintain your physical activity without causing excessive sweating or irritation. Remember, the goal is to avoid activities that could trigger an inflammatory response.


After approximately 48 hours, most individuals can safely return to more rigorous forms of exercise. This short downtime is significantly less than what traditional microneedling treatments would require, making Procell Microchanneling a convenient option for those with active lifestyles.
