Micro-channeling technology has been gaining popularity as a highly effective aesthetic therapy for skin rejuvenation. This well-researched treatment, also called micro-needling or percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), was pioneered in 1996 by plastic surgeon Des Fernandes and numerous clinical studies demonstrate its benefits, including helping to improve the appearance of aging skin, pigmentation, scarring, and uneven skin. Traditionally performed with a handheld microroller, micro-channeling utilizes very small needles to cause a gentle injury to the skin, which triggers the body’s natural response to regenerate collagen and increase fibroblast activity. DermaFrac™ by Genesis Biosystems is an innovative micro-channeling treatment that punctures the skin with stainless steel needle tips that roll across the skin to the precise depth that is ideal for producing the body’s own positive responses. Unlike other micro-channeling technologies, DermaFrac™ simultaneously delivers a targeted infusion serum via vacuum-assisted occlusion, enabling the serum to penetrate through the micro-channels to the dermal-epidermal junction for maximum absorption and effect. This unique delivery system allows DermaFrac™ to achieve highly effective outcomes without pain or downtime.
“In my 25+ years as a Licensed Medical Esthetician and medical spa owner, I have never seen a medical aesthetic device perform in practice like DermaFrac™. This amazing device gives us the ability to stimulate collagen while infusing potent topical treatment solutions without pain or downtime. We have seen miraculous results for the clients and unbelievable profits for the spa.”
