Information
The 3M? Microchannel Skin System was designed as a skin
pre-treatment method for professional medical or cosmetic
dermatologists to create microchannels in the skin. Dermatologists
may also recommend the 3M? Microchannel Skin System for patients
to use at home.
? Each 3M? Microchannel Skin System
patch consists of 351 microneedles/cm2.
? Microneedles are 650 microns in length
and made of medical grade polymer.
? With gentle pressure the microneedles penetrate less than
100 microns into the skin.
For more information about using microneedles and details about the
technology behind this innovative new product, as well as published
industry articles, go to: www.3M.com/microchannel.
