INTRAcel Microneedling with radiofrequency is a state-of-the-art skin-tightening and rejuvenating treatment. It combines two minimally invasive techniques—radiofrequency (RF) and deep dermal microneedling—to effectively treat sagging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and more. Microneedling offers advanced collagen regeneration, skin tightening, and skin therapy without sacrificing comfort, safety, or downtime.
With minimal downtime and discomfort, INTRAcel Microneedling introduces controlled trauma to the skin through tiny, insulated needles, reducing oil and bacteria at the treatment site. Additionally, and most importantly, INTRAcel Microneedling encourages collagen repair and renewal by sending radiofrequency energy through these microchannels to promote smooth, tight, radiant, and blemish-free skin. This added radiofrequency energy takes this skin rejuvenation microneedling to the next level.

INTRAcel Microneedling is a premium skin rejuvenation treatment that promotes lasting results for smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.
Some of the primary benefits include:
The entire RF microneedling process takes approximately 30 – 60 minutes, depending upon the area being treated. This does not include the time required for the numbing cream to take effect and minimize discomfort. Many patients report a mild prickling sensation when the INTRAcel Microneedling device head is brought to penetrate the skin with fine needles, but the vast majority consider it to be tolerable. Our technician will pass the microneedling device over the skin several times while making sure to adequately address each target area.
There will be some bleeding immediately following microneedling, but this will quickly subside. Many feel as if they have a mild sunburn in the affected area for the first few hours. Mild swelling and bruising are common around the treatment site for the first several days, but you shouldn’t experience significant discomfort. As your skin naturally heals, it will likely become dry and flaky for a few days as well; but within two weeks, the improvements to your uneven skin tone and texture will become noticeable. INTRAcel RF Microneedling results typically begin to show in as little as 24 hours, with desired results continuing to develop for the next 6 months.

You might be a good candidate for microneedling if you have mild to moderate wrinkles, stretch marks, rosacea, acne, or enlarged pores. Microneedling can be suitable for you if you are looking for a minimally invasive but effective treatment without any downtime.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no downtime. You can resume your daily activities right after the procedure without having to take time off work.
Shortly after microneedling, you may notice side effects such as bleeding and discomfort across the treatment area that dissipate within a few hours. Other side effects, such as mild bruising, swelling, and flaking of your skin, might last for a few days after your microneedling treatment before subsiding on their own. You can manage these side effects by following the INTRAcel RF Microneedling aftercare instructions provided to you by Dr. Marmur.
Most people start noticing improvements in their skin texture and appearance as soon as 24 hours after their INTRAcel RF Microneedling treatment. However, it could take 3-4 months for you to see a significant enhancement in your more youthful appearance. Your microneedling results continue to improve for 6 months after your treatment session.
At least a day before your INTRAcel RF Microneedling appointment, make sure that you avoid sun exposure, do not use exfoliants, and stay away from tanning products. You may also be instructed to stop taking certain medications that may increase the risk of bleeding for a few days before your treatment. During your initial appointment, Dr. Marmur will tell you how to prepare for your microneedling treatment.
In order to relieve any pain during your INTRAcel RF Microneedling procedure, Dr. Marmur and her team uses a numbing cream over your skin. While the effects of the numbing cream fade shortly after your treatment, you can find relief from post-procedure redness and soreness with over-the-counter pain medications. This soreness and redness subsides within a few days, and you can enjoy your microneedling results without any pain.
Depending on the treatment area, the INTRAcel RF Microneedling procedure typically takes between 30-60 minutes. However, you might need to set aside some extra time before your appointment for the preparation and numbing cream to take effect. Overall, microneedling is a short procedure that you can get during your lunch break.
Most patients achieve their desired results with a series of 3-6 microneedling treatments scheduled 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concerns, microneedling treatment goals, and how your skin responds. Mild concerns may improve with fewer microneedling procedures, while deeper scars, including acne scars, stretch marks, and other scars, or significant texture issues may require additional treatments. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.
Yes. INTRAcel Microneedling pairs exceptionally well with other procedures such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma), chemical peels, or topical serums to enhance your results and overall appearance. The microchannels created during microneedling allow for deeper penetration of beneficial ingredients. Your Marmur Medical expert provider will recommend treatments that complement your microneedling sessions based on your specific goals and skin condition.
INTRAcel Microneedling procedures work by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production to improve skin texture, tone, and scarring – including acne scars and stretch marks – over time. Botox relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles, and fillers add volume to specific areas. Microneedling addresses overall skin quality rather than targeting specific wrinkles or volume loss, though these treatments can be combined for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Yes. Microneedling procedures are highly effective for treating acne scars, including atrophic (depressed) scars. It also helps fade hyperpigmentation and sun damage by promoting skin cell turnover and collagen production. Multiple microneedling sessions typically yield the best improvement for scarring, pigmentation, and enlarged pores concerns.
INTRAcel Microneedling results can last one to two years or longer, depending on your age, skin condition, and skincare routine. Since microneedling stimulates lasting collagen production, improvements are not temporary like with some treatments. Many patients choose maintenance sessions once or twice yearly to sustain their microneedling results and continue building collagen.
Avoid direct sun exposure, strenuous exercise, saunas, swimming pools, and harsh skincare products (retinoids, acids, exfoliants) for at least 48-72 hours after microneedling sessions. Do not apply makeup for 24 hours. Use only gentle, provider-approved cleansers and moisturizers, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily once cleared to do so.
Yes. Microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions that may be at higher risk for complications with certain laser treatments. Because it creates controlled micro-injuries without heat damage, the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following microneedling is minimal when performed by experienced providers with proper aftercare.
Yes. Microneedling is highly customizable based on your unique skin needs and goals. Your provider will use the appropriate microneedling techniques and can adjust the needle lengths, treatment intensity, and targeted areas to address specific concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, texture issues, or enlarged pores. The treatment can also be enhanced with tailored serums, PRP, or growth factors applied during the procedure to optimize results for your individual skin type and condition.
