Collagen is one of the most important molecules for keeping skin looking smooth, healthy, and young. Age-related collagen loss causes wrinkles to form, tissues to sag, and more, all of which can be further hastened by destruction of collagen by sun exposure and other environmental factors. DermaFrac® micro-channeling at Portland’s medispa at The Waldorf Center encourages renewed collagen production, countering the effects of its loss over time.

WHAT IS DERMAFRAC™ MICRO-CHANNELING?
The DermaFrac™ micro-channeling device works by using a vacuum that gently pulls the skin up to a handpiece with a roller featuring hundreds of tiny needles. Each needle creates a small channel into the upper dermis, penetrating just deep enough to prompt a healing response while avoiding nerve endings and capillaries.

The natural processes that begin to heal what the body reads as multiple “wounds” also serve to improve the quality of the surrounding skin.
DermaFrac™ micro-channeling can address fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, hyperpigmentation, certain scars, and enlarged pores. It can also help to clear whiteheads and blackheads.
The DermaFrac™ micro-channeling handpiece contains a cartridge filled with a serum for infusing into the newly treated skin. Each channel serves as an opening that allows the specially chosen formula to “soak” in and provide further benefits. Available serums include options to clarify, hydrate, rejuvenate, lighten, thicken, and more.
You will receive specific aftercare instructions from your aesthetician. Following them can help you to maximize the results of your treatment.
Collagen production is gradual, so you will see the skin-improving results of a DermaFrac™ micro-channeling treatment appear in the weeks following your session. As cells in the skin produce more collagen molecules, the surface will appear smoother, clearer, and healthier.
HOW DOES DERMAFRAC™ MICRO- CHANNELING COMPARE TO MICRONEEDLING?
Though the terms are often used interchangeably, DermaFrac™ micro-channeling treatments are not the same as microneedling, which is a more aggressive treatment that goes deeper below the surface. Micro-channeling has a lighter depth and provides a gentler, less abrasive experience because it only penetrates the top layer of skin.
ALTERNATIVE OR COMPLEMENTARY OPTIONS TO DERMAFRAC™ MICRO-CHANNELING
The spa at The Waldorf Center offers a range of specialty facials that rejuvenate the skin and can treat specific cosmetic concerns, from redness to excess oil. The aestheticians at the spa also perform microdermabrasion, which exfoliates to transform dull skin into glowing skin.
The spa also carries a line of skin care products, each carefully chosen to provide unique and proven benefits. Topical creams can be especially beneficial following a DermaFrac™ micro-channeling treatment because of the skin’s improved absorption ability following the session.
