Intracel for acne scars?

We like the Intracel RF microneedling device for treating acne scars.  Our protocol treats at 3 different layers of the skin with a mix or monopolar and bipolar settings to optimize acne scar treatment.  So, we find the 30 minute treatment is very tolerable with only topical numbing and a minimal 1-2 day downtime. We, as well, recommend 3 treatments a month apart.

I offer Intracel RF microneedling in Toronto.  For acne scars, we usually use the monopolar setting since it is more aggressive than the bipolar mode and we treat at different levels in the skin.

The new intracel with bipolar and monopolar technology works very well to treat acne scars. I typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to treat the acne scars or other skin irregularities. It takes about 30 minutes to treat the face and has about 2 days of redness to the face which can be covered with makeup if you so choose. 

Acne scar revision is never about the device, this includes Intracel, Infini, Intensif, Venus Viva, Secret etc..etc.. the answer never lies in the micro needling device but the scar type. Acne scar revision is a sub-specialised field. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type with ideal treatments and not just one device. The web reference below will take you to a resource to help you understand acne scar revision at a specialist level. I embedded all the videos in one page to help. 
For example deep ice pick scars, and narrow box car scars can be treated with TCA CROSS peels, mixed scars, rolling, and atrophic scars treated with fractional devices such as Fraxel, fractional lasers, PRP and INFINI radiofrequency. Atrophic scars (depressions) can be treated with either fat grafts, or with HA dermal fillers. Tethered and anchored scars are best treated with surgical techniques such as subcision. Other surgical techniques that we use include punch elevation, surgical elevation, punch excision and traditional excision of focal scars. 
The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment METHOD will be best. Careful examination, especially under angled lighting with scar mapping will give you an understanding of what are the best options for your scars. In the majority of patients its finding the correct combination that give you best results, and everyone is unique! All the best,
