INTRAcel RF Microneedling
Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery offers advanced and effective treatments for skin improvement. Among our top treatments is INTRAcel RF Microneedling, a cutting-edge dual monopolar and bipolar treatment that improves skin tone, skin quality, and skin imperfections on the face and body.
What is INTRAcel RF Microneedling?
INTRAcel is non-surgical treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin. The treatment uniquely offers two treatment modalities: Monopolar RF energy to treat larger surface areas with less depth and Bipolar RF energy that targets smaller areas with increased depth.
INTRAcel microneedling is effective for improving acne scars, stretch marks, and scars from injuries. Additionally, INTRAcel increases collagen and elastin production to improve overall skin quality, skin laxity, fine lines, skin texture, enlarged pores, and skin imperfections.
INTRAcel offers several unique advantages, making it a popular choice among patients:
- Safe for All Skin Types: The colorblind RF energy used in INTRAcel makes it suitable for all skin tones.
- Painless Procedure: Insulated needle insertion technology provides a comfortable treatment experience.
- Multiple Treatment Areas: INTRAcel is versatile and can treat various areas of the face and body, including:
- Face, Neck, and Jaw: Smooths and firms the skin, reducing wrinkles, improves skin imperfections, and firms skin. Helps cheeks maintain their volume, prevents horizontal and vertical lines, and forehead elasticity
- Eyes and Mouth: Addresses fine lines and wrinkles in smaller, targeted areas as well as under eye skin including the hollowing out appearance.
- Body: Effective for tightening skin and reducing stretch marks on the abdomen, inner arms, and thighs.

FAQs
What is the benefit of Fractionated Radiofrequency energy?
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method to remodel and rebuild collagen. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin. Fractionated means that some areas of skin is treated, and other areas are not. This allows your skin and tissue to recover quickly with minimal or no downtime while experiencing the benefits of the treatment.
How will INTRAcel treatment feel?
During the procedure, the handheld device delivers radiofrequency energy through microneedles to the targeted areas.
How long will INTRAcel treatment last?
The treatment time varies based on the size of the area being treated. If a smaller area is being treated, appointment time may be 30-45 minutes. Larger or multiple areas will require more treatment time.

INTRAcel RF Microneedle Recovery
After INTRAcel treatment, you may experience mild redness that fades in a few hours based on your skin tone. After treatment, we recommend keeping your skin clean and that topical serums and growth factors are applied for optimal results.
How many INTRAcel treatments are recommended to see results?
For optimal results, we recommend at least 4-6 treatments typically performed one month apart. Your specific treatment plan and the frequency could be adjusted based on your specific circumstances. During your consultation, we will put together an individualized treatment plan for you.
How does INTRAcel RF Microneedle compare to traditional microneedling?
Traditional Microneedling has been used for years to strengthen collagen and elastin fibers. Adding RF to micro-needling introduces the bonus element of radiofrequency energy to the conventional micro-needling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles into the dermis. RF micro-needling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing benefits of microneedling alone.
