Overview

Radiofrequency microneedling to tighten skin, reduce acne and stimulate lasting collagen

INTRAcel is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling (FRM) device that delivers controlled energy precisely into the dermis through specially insulated microneedles. Because the radiofrequency is emitted only at the needle tip within the dermis, the skin's surface is not heated, eliminating the risk of burning or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can occur with some other energy-based devices.

The heat energy in the deep dermis tightens and shortens existing collagen fibres while simultaneously stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen, making INTRAcel both an anti-ageing and a skin quality treatment. By targeting the sebaceous glands in the dermis, it also addresses the bacteria and structural causes of acne, giving it a broader application than many resurfacing alternatives.

INTRAcel can be used on the face and on body areas. Treatment is carried out by a medical practitioner, with parameters carefully set to each patient's skin type and indication. An initial consultation is essential to assess your concern, confirm suitability and plan the right course of treatment.

What to expect

Your treatment journey

  1. 1

    Consultation

    Your practitioner assesses your skin, discusses your concern and confirms suitability, then plans a personalised course of treatment with the appropriate parameters.

  2. 2

    Treatment

    Numbing cream is applied for comfort; the INTRAcel device then delivers fractional radiofrequency energy via insulated microneedles precisely into the dermis, treating the target area systematically.

  3. 3

    Aftercare

    Mild redness and sensitivity are normal for two to five days; your practitioner will provide detailed post-treatment guidance, and results improve progressively as new collagen develops over the following weeks and months.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How does INTRAcel differ from standard microneedling?

Standard microneedling creates channels in the skin to stimulate healing. INTRAcel adds radiofrequency energy delivered exclusively at the needle tip in the dermis, which provides the added benefit of collagen tightening and far more precise depth control, with no surface heating.

Can it treat acne as well as ageing skin?

Yes. By targeting the sebaceous glands and acne bacteria deep in the dermis, INTRAcel can address the underlying causes of acne and help reduce breakouts, as well as treating existing acne scarring.

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

Because the radiofrequency energy is delivered only in the dermis and the skin's surface is not heated, INTRAcel carries a lower risk of hyperpigmentation compared with surface-heating devices, making it suitable for a broader range of skin types. Your practitioner will confirm suitability at consultation.

How many sessions will I need?

A course of sessions is usually recommended for the best outcome. The number depends on your indication and how your skin responds. Your practitioner will outline a plan at your initial consultation.

What is the downtime?

Most patients experience mild redness and some sensitivity for two to five days. There is no significant peeling or surface damage, and most people feel comfortable returning to normal activities within a few days.

How much does INTRAcel radiofrequency microneedling cost?

Pricing depends on the areas treated and what is agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
