Combining microneedling with advanced radiofrequency technology, it targets problem areas to tighten skin and visibly reduce wrinkles, scars, and enlarged pores. While it’s especially effective for tackling acne and acne scars, it also delivers impressive results for addressing stretch marks and skin laxity.

This process stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins for firm, youthful skin. The targeted energy reaches deep within the skin, improving its texture and tone from the inside out while minimizing surface damage.

Before, During, and After

What To Expect Before an INTRAcel Microneedling Treatment

Before your INTRAcel Microneedling treatment in West Des Moines and Ankeny, you’ll meet with one of our licensed skincare experts for a thorough consultation. During this session, we’ll take the time to understand your unique concerns, goals, and lifestyle factors to create a highly personalized plan for your skin.
You’ll also receive a complimentary VISIA Skin Analysis, which uses advanced imaging technology to assess your skin’s condition. This step helps us ensure that you’re an ideal candidate for the treatment and allows us to tailor a plan that best suits your needs.

What To Expect During an INTRAcel Microneedling Treatment

Your INTRAcel microneedling session starts with applying a numbing cream, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. The treatment uses micro-needles to create tiny channels in the skin while delivering precise RF (radiofrequency) energy to deeper layers. As the micro-needles penetrate the skin, you may notice a mild prickling or tingling sensation combined with a gentle warming effect from the RF energy. These sensations are minimal and well-tolerated.
Your practitioner will meticulously guide the device over the treatment area, making multiple passes to ensure uniform coverage. Depending on the size of the targeted area, each session typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes.

What To Expect After an INTRAcel Microneedling Treatment

Post-treatment, you may experience minor redness or swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Some clients also notice a bit of peeling as their skin renews itself. Downtime is minimal, and you can quickly return to daily activities.
We’ll provide a personalized post-treatment care plan to maximize your results and support optimal healing. Within a few weeks, you can expect noticeable enhancements in your skin’s texture, tone, and firmness, bringing you closer to your best skin.

Jess, who I had an appointment with, made me feel so comfortable, was very sweet and knowledgeable! Love her too! I will be back! I highly recommend this beautiful clinic! I found "The Dream Spa" I'm posting for the second time in same comment. I had an consultation with Emma for "Cool sculpting" She is so knowledgeable of every aspect of this treatment! Her energy and love for what she does is off the charts! She doesn't miss a thing and always ask if I have questions. I left feeling confident! Jenna who is in charge is awesome and really cares about people! I truly love these young women who work hard every day and lift up other women to look and feel their best! THANK YOU, JESS, JENNA, EMMA, AND CANDICE! May our Lord Jesus continue to bless you and your families 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wow, my first experience with Coachlight Clinic was amazing. Morgan took wonderful care of me. Im 59 with horrible rosacia and I have my Son's wedding next week. I needed to glow, and I am not disappointed, with Morgans recommendations I feel refreshed and ready after the diamond glow facial and dermaplaning. I will be back, and highly recommend trying it for yourself!
