How exactly does this treatment work to address the skin’s appearance?

This treatment is great for targeting wrinkles, scars, and skin laxity all in one treatment. INTRAcel combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen deep within your skin, delivering smoother texture, tighter skin, and improved tone with minimal downtime. This advanced treatment addresses acne scars, fine lines, deep lines, surgical scars, stretch marks, traumatic scars, pore size, and other skin issues. INTRAcel is suitable for both males and females of all skin types and ethnicities, and it can be used for the face, sagging neck, and body.

How is INTRAcel used?

Fractional RF microneedling technology, known as FRM™, was created by Jeisys to address targeted areas precisely. This innovative method utilizes specially designed insulated micro-needles that penetrate quickly while minimizing damage to the epidermis. This allows the RF pulse to be targeted into the treated area, causing thermolysis, which selectively degenerates the collagen fibers between the superficial dermis and muscle band, stimulating fibroblasts and constructing new collagen. It works well for:

  • Wrinkles on the face, neck, and chest
  • Saggy lax arms and knees
  • Pores
  • Acne scar
  • Scars
  • Acne
  • Skin Rejuvenation, Tightening, Glow
  • Body
  • Stretch marks
  • Hyperhidrosis

What is the new INTRAcel three-layer therapy?

INTRAcel is an effective radiofrequency and microneedling device that can build collagen. Downtime depends on the area being treated and the age of the person having the procedure, but it is typically only 1 to 3 days. Your treated area will be slightly red, and we will give you proper healing creams along with sunblock to heal the area faster.

INTRAcel RF Microneedling : Your Questions Answered

What is INTRAcel RF microneedling?

INTRAcel RF microneedling, as described by our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Jeanine Downie, is an advanced skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to improve skin texture. It is for acne scarring, stretch marks, surgical scars, traumatic scars, dog bites, fine lines around the mouth, deep lines around the mouth, large pores, sagging skin on the lower face and neck, and etched lines in the forehead. This treatment works by delivering heat and controlled micro-injuries deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting smoother, healthier skin.

How does it help with acne scars?

INTRAcel RF microneedling specifically targets the damaged layers of the skin where acne scars form. Radiofrequency energy boosts collagen and elastin production, which in turn smooths irregularities, reduces the depth of scars, and improves overall skin tone and texture. Over time, the treated areas appear firmer and more refined. It targets scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

Is the procedure safe for all skin types?

Yes, INTRAcel RF microneedling is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. By combining microneedling with RF energy, the treatment effectively minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation, unlike some laser-based options. Dr. Downie often recommends this procedure as a versatile option for treating scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, and sagging skin.

Does it hurt?

While INTRAcel RF microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, the discomfort is usually minimal. A topical anesthetic is administered before the procedure to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the treatment. Most of our patients describe the sensation as tolerable, with some pressure.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of sessions required depends on the severity of your scars, the number of scars being treated, and your individual skin goals. Most of our patients experience significant improvement after three to four sessions, spaced approximately one month apart. During your consultation, Dr. Downie develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Is there any downtime after the procedure?

INTRAcel RF microneedling has minimal downtime compared to other scar treatments. After the procedure, you may notice slight redness and swelling, similar to sunburn, which typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Dr. Downie often recommends gentle skin care and sunscreen during the healing process to protect and nourish your rejuvenated skin.

Are the results permanent?

While results vary from person to person, INTRAcel RF microneedling offers long-lasting improvements. The collagen and elastin your skin produces during the healing process can continue to work for several months, providing ongoing benefits. Once treated, scars will not return. However, maintaining good skin care habits and following the team‘s guidance will help you preserve your results.

What is INTRAcel™?

Hi, I’m Dr. Jeanine Downie, a board-certified dermatologist. I practice in Montclair, NJ, at image Dermatology ® P.C., and I’m a cosmetic dermatologist. I’d love to talk to you today about INTRAcel™.

INTRAcel™ is a radiofrequency micro-needling device good for all skin types and sexes.

What is INTRAcel™ used on?

I use it in my practice every single day. I use it for acne scarring; I use it for stretch marks; I use it for fine lines around the mouth; I use it for wrinkles on the neck and the chest. I use it for traumatic surgical scars.

There are a ton of uses for the intercell, and my patients love it.

Many of my patients would use this for stretch marks on their inner thigh on the backs of their knees you know on your lateral hip which works great for that.

What is the treatment process?

What it’s doing is the radiofrequency is blasted in after the needles are in, so it is building collagen significantly and helping to smooth out your skin.

My patients with scarring love the INTRAcel™ device; as I said before, it’s good for both sexes and all races.

How often should the treatments be done?

We recommend the INTRAcel™ treatments roughly about once a month.

So think of the INTRAcel™ device as your personal tool to remodel your collagen from your pore size to your acne scars, to your stretch marks to your surgical scars.

Anything that is a wound to your skin, we can typically help correct.

The sooner you start with any area that’s been wounded, the faster it heals. Come and INTRAcel™ with me.

See how injections can treat Keloids
Overgrowth in scar tissue or keloids can be addressed with Keloid injections that are carried out at Image Dermatology. The injection works well to help reduce any overgrowth to a smaller size where then it can be effectively removed off the skin completely. In this video the keloid is on the patient’s ear.

So this is my patient here DeAndre, he’s been coming in several times every month to get serial injections for Keloids. So a Keloid is an overgrowth of a scar, essentially your body has no idea it needs to stop creating scar tissue, it keeps forming, keeps forming, and eventually it creates this large mass that usually looks like a mushroom. So we’ve been treating him for a while. If you pan up to that screen over there you’ll see where it started, looks like two large kid-ney beans there, and now they’re starting to shrivel up as I’d expect. He’s had several serial injec-tions, and now they’re kind of looking like from a full grape to little tiny raisins so the goal is to get them as small as possible and eventually we may even remove them, depending on how he feels about that in the future, so the smaller they are the easier they are to remove, so we’re going to go ahead with this injection now.
