Intracel - The 98,000 Needle Facial

If learning about micro-needling in last week's blog didn't scare you off — then continue reading :). Intracel is basically micro-needling with radio frequency (RF), although this tip uses 49 insulated micro-needles. By adding RF, Intracel increases collagen and elastin production tenfold.

Think of it as a micro-needling treatment in overdrive!

Radio Frequency treatments have become the gold standard for stimulating collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. Which in turn help to treat:

• Lines/wrinkles

• Large pores

• Acne scars

• Skin laxity

• Tone/texture

Most RF technologies heat the skin from the outer layers (epidermis) in hopes to reach the dermal layers. They aren't able to deliver the same amount of RF to the area that is most effective. This is why the Intracel's patented technology is so key. Intracel, combines THERMAL Micro-Needling with RF. With its patented thermal needling system the epidermis (top layer of your skin) is spared as the RF is only delivered to the exposed .3mm of the needle tip.  Therefore ALL the RF is delivered exactly where we want it. This allows for maximum results with little to no downtime.

DOES IT HURT?

That is really what you want to know, right?

I realize how scary a 98,000 needle facial sounds, but it's really not so bad. I have had the treatment done as well and while I don't enjoy it, I would say it's uncomfortable but not painful. We apply numbing cream to the skin prior to treatment. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but overall it's manageable. If you are treating a body area - there is really no pain at all.

In a nutshell, Intracel is the most favourable treatment (outside of surgery), to help with both age prevention and age reversal. It truly helps with rejuvenation and resurfacing without the downtime of most other technologies.
