Conclusions

The INTRAcel device provides a new possibility to combine bipolar and monopolar fractional RF microneedling and minimally ablative superficial RF treatments in the targeted multilayer mode during the same treatment session. It is an innovative treatment option for reducing the signs of ageing, acne, acne scars, scars and stretch marks. The treatment improves the texture of the skin, enlarged pores, reduces wrinkles, laxity and results in a younger, completely natural appearance and healthy skin.

After the treatment one can almost immediately resume the normal activities, full skin recovery being between 1 and 5 days. Individually adjustable treatment modalities, including treatment depth and energy level, selection or combination of monopolar RF and bipolar RF energies and available combination of needle and non-needle treatment arrays, safety profile and minimal downtime make INTRAcel a versatile device. Although INTRAcel treatments are considered to be relatively safe, in order to adjust the treatment protocol to the needs of the patient, the clinical applications require proper training and treatments should be performed by skilled professionals. In addition, more clinical studies are needed to reveal the full potential of the technology.
