INTRAcel RF Microneedling Treatment
At Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery in Indianapolis, you can get advanced, effective treatments to enhance your skin's appearance. One of our most sought-after procedures is INTRAcel RF Microneedling, a state-of-the-art treatment that combines the benefits of both monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to address a variety of skin concerns on the face and body.
Understanding INTRAcel RF Microneedling
INTRAcel is a non-invasive treatment that merges microneedling with RF energy to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin.
What sets INTRAcel apart is its dual-mode technology: Monopolar RF energy, which covers larger areas with shallower penetration, and Bipolar RF energy, which is designed to treat smaller, more targeted areas with deeper skin penetration.
This versatile treatment is particularly effective for diminishing acne scars, stretch marks, and other types of scars. Moreover, INTRAcel promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to significant improvements in overall skin quality, firmness, fine lines, skin texture, pore size, and various skin imperfections.
Why Choose INTRAcel RF Microneedling?
With its unique combination of technologies and wide range of applications, INTRAcel RF Microneedling is a powerful tool in achieving smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. INTRAcel RF Microneedling offers several distinct benefits that make it a preferred choice for many of our patients:
Suitable for All Skin Types
The RF energy utilized in INTRAcel is safe for all skin tones, offering effective results without the risk of pigmentation issues.
Comfortable Experience
The procedure is designed to be gentle, using insulated needles that minimize discomfort during treatment.
Versatile Application
INTRAcel can be used on various parts of the face and body, making it an excellent option for addressing a wide range of concerns, including:
- Face, neck, & jawline: Firms and smooths the skin, reduces wrinkles, and addresses skin imperfections. It helps maintain cheek volume, improves elasticity, and targets horizontal and vertical lines.
- Eyes & mouth: Effectively treats fine lines and wrinkles in delicate areas, including under the eyes, reducing the appearance of hollowing.
- Body: Ideal for tightening loose skin and minimizing stretch marks on the abdomen, inner arms, and thighs.

INTRAcel RF Microneedling FAQs

What Are the Advantages of Fractionated Radiofrequency Energy?
Fractionated RF energy is a cutting-edge method for collagen remodeling and skin rejuvenation. This minimally invasive technique uses a grid of tiny pins to deliver RF energy into the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen regeneration.
The term "fractionated" refers to treating only a portion of the skin at a time, which allows for faster recovery with little to no downtime while still providing the substantial benefits of the treatment.
What Can I Expect During the INTRAcel Procedure?
During the INTRAcel procedure, a handheld device delivers RF energy through microneedles into the targeted skin areas. This process is designed to be efficient and effective, with minimal discomfort.
How Long Does an INTRAcel Treatment Session Take?
The duration of an INTRAcel session depends on the size of the treatment area. For smaller areas, the procedure typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. Larger or multiple areas will require a longer appointment.
Is RF Microneedling safe for all skin types, tones, and colors?
Yes, INTRAcel RF Microneedling is designed to be safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including those with darker skin. The advanced technology used in INTRAcel ensures that it can be safely applied across a wide variety of skin types.
During your consultation, we will carefully evaluate your skin, discuss any potential risks and expected outcomes, and create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your skin enhancement goals.
Recovery after INTRAcel RF Microneedling
After your INTRAcel treatment, you may experience mild redness that usually fades within a few hours, depending on your skin tone. To maximize your results, we recommend keeping your skin clean and using topical serums and growth factors as part of your post-treatment care routine.
How many INTRAcel Treatments are needed to achieve results?
For optimal results, we typically suggest undergoing four to six INTRAcel treatments, spaced about a month apart. However, your specific treatment plan, including the number and frequency of sessions, will be tailored to your individual needs and skin condition. During your consultation, we’ll work with you to develop a customized plan that best suits your goals.
How does INTRAcel RF Microneedling compare to traditional microneedling?
Traditional microneedling has been a reliable method for enhancing collagen and elastin production for many years. INTRAcel enhances this process by adding radiofrequency (RF) energy to the treatment, which is delivered deep into the dermis through microneedles. This combination significantly amplifies the benefits of traditional microneedling, offering more profound skin rejuvenation.
