What is INTRAcel™?
INTRAcel™ Microneedling is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. This minimally invasive procedure addresses various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks, offering a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime.
Intracel’s micro-needles, combined with the radio frequency energy, signal the skin to create new collagen. INTRAcel microneedling treatments have minor discomfort and only minimal downtime.
INTRAcel microneedling is a fast non-invasive treatment designed to enhance tone, texture, and overall complexion, suitable for all skin types. 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.
How Does INTRAcel Microneedling Work?
INTRAcel Microneedling uses a combination of ultra-fine micro-needles and powerful radio frequency energy to penetrate the skin’s deeper layers. 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.
The customizable nature of INTRAcel makes it suitable for a wide range of skin types and conditions, ensuring you get a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Before, During, and After
What To Expect Before a 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 a 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 a 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.
