Morpheus8 has been big in the news recently, with celebrities like Judy Murray and Amanda Holden opting for this radiofrequency microneedling treatment to refresh and rejuvenate their skin.
But did you know we have an even better version of the already highly effective Morpheus8?
Here at Dermoperfection, we offer INTRAcel RF Microneedling (also known as INTRAcel Pro), and we’re proud to be the exclusive providers of this revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment in the West Midlands! In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how INTRAcel Pro and Morpheus8 compare, so you can make the most informed decision for your skin.
What Is RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is one of the most advanced non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments available today. It combines two powerful technologies in one: microneedling, which creates tiny controlled channels in the dermis to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, and radiofrequency energy, which heats the deeper skin layers to trigger fibroblast activity and powerful collagen stimulation.
The result is firmer, tighter, smoother, more youthful-looking skin, without the downtime, scarring, or expense of surgical procedures. RF microneedling has become the gold standard for treating a wide variety of skin conditions including fine lines, wrinkle reduction, acne scars, enlarged pores, and skin laxity, while also delivering effective skin resurfacing.
What Is Morpheus8?
The Morpheus8 device is a well-known RF microneedling tool that uses a combination of microneedles and radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled heat into the dermal layers of the skin. It’s recognised for its ability to tighten skin, smooth lines, and reduce the appearance of scarring. Its celebrity following has helped make it one of the most talked-about aesthetic treatments of the past few years.
What Is INTRAcel Pro?
INTRAcel Pro is a next-generation RF microneedling treatment that uses 49 ultra-fine microneedles for optimised RF delivery, skin lifting, tightening, and refining the facial contours with impressive precision.
It’s also a popular acne treatment, with the thermal energy produced helping to destroy the bacteria and overactive sebaceous glands that cause breakouts. Once the bacteria has been targeted, INTRAcel Pro then delivers powerful skin resurfacing to repair acne scars, improve poor texture, soften fine lines, and refine enlarged pores.
This makes INTRAcel Pro a fantastic alternative to surgery, as it protects the surface of the skin from damage, allowing you to resume daily life straight after your treatment.
INTRAcel Pro vs Morpheus8: The Key Differences
While both treatments fall under the RF microneedling category, INTRAcel Pro is widely regarded as the more innovative, advanced option. Here’s how the two compare.
Comfort and Pain Levels
You can expect significantly less discomfort from an INTRAcel Pro treatment, as the shorter, finer needles cause less trauma to the skin during the procedure. Many patients describe the sensation as much more tolerable than Morpheus8, especially when paired with our pre-treatment numbing cream.
Treatment Depth
INTRAcel Pro focuses on the top two skin layers of the dermis, where most visible signs of ageing, acne scars, and texture issues occur. This precise needle depth means it can be safely used on the more sensitive and delicate parts of the face, including the periorbital wrinkles around the eyes, that other devices may struggle to treat as effectively.
Number of Needles
With 49 microneedles per applicator, INTRAcel Pro delivers exceptionally even, consistent coverage across each treatment zone. This helps produce smoother, more uniform results across the entire treatment area.
Cost
Despite the additional benefits of INTRAcel Pro, it’s actually more affordable than Morpheus8! For a course of 3 face treatments with the Morpheus8 device, you can expect to pay around ÂŁ2,000. At Dermoperfection, a course of 3 INTRAcel Pro treatments starts from just ÂŁ1,350.
Longevity of Results
Once you’ve completed your INTRAcel Pro course, you can expect to see the amazing effects for up to 2 years thanks to sustained collagen production from within the dermis. We’ll then advise you on when to book in your top-up sessions to maintain those beautiful results.
What Does INTRAcel Pro Treat?
INTRAcel Pro is one of the most versatile skin treatments available, addressing a wide range of skin conditions including:
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and periorbital wrinkles around the eyes
- Skin laxity and early signs of ageing
- Active acne and breakouts
- Acne scars and pitting
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Stretch marks
- Loss of definition in the facial contours, jawline, neck, and décolletage
The treatment can be tailored to specific concerns or used over the full face for complete rejuvenation.
What to Expect From Your INTRAcel Pro Treatment
Each INTRAcel Pro session begins with a thorough consultation, where your practitioner will assess your skin and tailor the treatment to your individual concerns. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to keep you comfortable throughout.
During the treatment, the INTRAcel Pro device gently glides over each treatment zone, delivering precise microneedling and RF energy. The session typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Afterwards, you may experience some mild redness or slight swelling for 24 to 48 hours, but most patients can return to their normal routine straight away.
For optimal results, we recommend a course of 3 treatments spaced approximately 4 weeks apart.
Who Is INTRAcel Pro Right For?
INTRAcel Pro is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, including:
- Those wanting to address fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of ageing
- Anyone struggling with active acne or acne scars
- Patients with enlarged pores or uneven skin texture
- Those wanting non-surgical skin lifting and tightening
- Anyone looking for a more affordable, more comfortable alternative to Morpheus8
