Our dermatologists will then apply the device to the skin surface releasing the needles and delivering radiofrequency energy in short bursts as the head is moved across the area to be treated. Aftercare plays an important role in reducing the recovery time so we apply a soothing serum immediately after Intracel and then over the area with a cool pack for 10 \u2013 15 minutes to minimize inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>The patient can immediately resume normal activities, full skin recovery is between 1- 6 days.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended to use a medically proven skincare regime, to be determined by the doctor. Always use a sunscreen minimum of (SPF30) to avoid sun damage.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;What precautions are necessary after my Intracel treatment?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Aftercare plays an important role in reducing the recovery time so we apply a soothing serum immediately after Intracel and then over the area with a cool pack for 10 \u2013 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Use a sunscreen to avoid pigmentation from sun exposure. We recommend a factor 30-50 for the first two weeks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;How long does it take to take a treatment?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]It takes 60 minutes for anesthesia before a treatment and a treatment takes 10 to 15 minutes. For aftercare, it takes 15 minutes. Totally, INTRAcel treatment consumes approximately one hour and 30 minutes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;What is the course of the treatment?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Generally we suggest a course of 3 treatments about 4 weeks apart. It is possible to achieve positive results after only one Intracel treatment, but most people respond better after 2 \u2013 3 treatments.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Is the interval time important?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The interval between the first and second treatment must be over 30 days, the one between the second and third must be over 40 days. Because it takes about four weeks for the skin to be recovered from the treatment, the second treatment must be done after the skin fully regenerates. If second treatment was done within a month, recovery can be longer than usual.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Have you seen results?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]I started to see results about a week after the procedure. The area continued to improve for the next two to three months.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;How long the effect lasts?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The effects will last 10-12 months.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Is anesthetic needed to be applied? Is it painful?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]It is not painful up to Level 3 using 0.8mm needle, but if it is over the level, it could be better to apply anesthetic on a person who receives a treatment. A pain depends on a person who receives a treatment, but it is thought to be less painful rather than the pain caused by fractional CO2 laser.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Can Intracel be used with an injection or filler?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>Filler:<\/strong> It has no harm to inject a filler after treatment using INTRAcel, however, it can be harmful to take INTRAcel treatment after injecting a filler. Therefore it is recommended not to use the filler until all treatments end. It is recommended to use 0.5mm needle to prevent energy from going through the skin deeply in the event of a treatment within six months after injecting a filler.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Injection:<\/strong> An injection can freely be used before and after the treatment using Intracel.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Is there any downtime?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Since this isn\u2019t a surgical procedure there is no real downtime.<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight redness after treatment that will go away within five days.<\/li>\n<li>There may also be some bruising in certain areas from the needles.<\/li>\n<li>The only restriction is that the treated area must be protected from UV exposure, which should be done anyway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;Is these procedure, right one for me?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1784040936-1-22&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you don\u2019t want to have surgery. \u201cThese treatments are non\u2013surgical\u201d<\/li>\n<li>These treatment have low downtime and the \u201cIntracel\u201d don\u2019t cause pigmentation complications\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;How would you describe the treatment and recovery?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1784040936-2-64&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The procedures were done with local numbing.
