What is RF Microneedling?

Looking to restore your youthful skin and say goodbye to skin imperfections? INTRAcel RF microneedling is a cutting-edge, yet minimally invasive, treatment designed to repair aging and damaged skin. 

You’ve likely heard of standard microneedling skin treatments, and INTRAcel RF microneedling takes this a step further, combining the standard microneedling procedure with the advanced technology of radio frequency. 

The INTRAcel RF Microneedling technique can improve skin irregularities, such as loose skin, wrinkles, scars, and acne, by strengthening the skin’s barrier and promoting the growth of healthy, glowing skin. 

Profile MD is Maryland’s premier INTRAcel RF microneedling provider. Using the latest FR technology, our certified team administers this effective treatment, which tightens your skin, improves its texture, and stimulates collagen production—restoring the firmer, smoother skin you desire.

What Makes INTRAcel RF Microneedling Different?

INTRAcel RF Microneedling is a revolutionary skin-tightening and rejuvenation treatment that combines the proven benefits of traditional microneedling with the advanced technology of radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening. 

This dual-action therapy targets both surface-level skin concerns and deep dermal layers, improving texture, tone, and firmness for a youthful, refreshed appearance.

The treatment works by using fine microneedles to create tiny punctures in the skin, allowing RF energy to penetrate the dermis—the layer beneath the surface. This targeted energy stimulates collagen production, triggering skin tightening from within and promoting long-lasting skin rejuvenation.

What sets INTRAcel microneedling apart is its sophisticated system, featuring insulated needles that protect the skin’s surface while delivering RF energy deep into the dermis. The depth and intensity of the treatment are adjustable, allowing Profile MD to provide a customizable experience tailored to individual skin concerns.

Compared to other RF microneedling systems, INTRAcel is ideal for all skin types, with minimal downtime required. It offers a safe, efficient, and non-invasive option for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their skin without the need for surgery.

Conditions Treated With RF Microneedling

As we age, our skin naturally loses firmness, and we may develop wrinkles, scarring, or acne. While these skin changes are entirely normal, we understand that they can sometimes affect our confidence. That’s where RF microneedling from Profile MD comes in.  

Our RF microneedling treatment is a powerful treatment designed to address a wide range of skin concerns while simultaneously enhancing collagen production. Collagen is essential for maintaining tight, youthful skin, as it helps protect your skin from wrinkles, sagging, and scarring.

RF microneedling effectively treats these common skin conditions: 

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin laxity
  • Enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks
  • Uneven skin tone and texture


RF Microneedling can help rejuvenate your skin, leaving it smoother, firmer, and more even in appearance. It’s an effective solution for those looking to restore their skin’s natural vitality, no matter its current appearance.

The RF Microneedling Process

Profile MD’s RF microneedling specialists, Dr. VanAntwerp and Dr. Mallalieu, approach every RF microneedling treatment with their repertoire of decades of expertise and care in providing effective solutions to our clients’ skincare concerns and goals. 

We approach every treatment with compassion and precision, because this is not just another treatment; this is your well-being. From your initial consultation to post-procedure recovery, our caring team is here to ensure your comfort and to exceed your skin care expectations. 

Our RF Microneedling treatment process is backed by using the latest medical techniques and technology in RF microneedling. We take every step to ensure you are comfortable and know exactly what to expect during the procedure. 

Typically, the entire procedure takes about 45 minutes, less than an hour. Here’s what to expect: 

Preparation: First, we clean your skin with a topical anesthetic that acts as a numbing agent to avoid pain or discomfort. Once this takes effect, Dr. VanAntwerp and Dr. Mallalieu will begin the treatment. 

During Treatment: The micro-needles are inserted into the skin, and radio frequency waves are administered, penetrating into the deeper levels of the skin’s dermis. This helps to restructure the skin tissues, and the heat will tighten and smooth your skin. You may feel slight warmth or pressure from the radio frequency waves, but the numbing agent should minimize this sensation as much as possible.

Recovery & Results

INTRAcel RF microneedling is an increasingly popular choice for addressing various skin concerns without the need for invasive surgery or risky at-home treatments. For safe, effective results, microneedling should always be performed by certified medical professionals.

The procedure is quick and effective, and recovery is similarly efficient, allowing you to return to your regular routine in just a few days. After treatment, your skin may experience redness or swelling, resembling the sensation and appearance of a sunburn. Unlike a sunburn, however, these side effects typically subside within 1 to 3 days as your skin heals.

Your Profile MD physician will provide you with a special moisturizer to support the recovery process. It’s essential to share your typical skincare routine so they can determine if any of your products might irritate or interfere with the healing process.

For optimal recovery, it’s best to avoid direct sunlight and use a high-level SPF for extra protection. Your skin will need all the help it can get during this time.

You should notice results almost immediately. As collagen production is stimulated, your skin will begin to look firmer and smoother. After a few weeks of treatment sessions, you’ll see even more significant improvements, with a more evenly textured, radiant complexion than before.

Whether you’re addressing fine lines, acne scars, or overall skin laxity, RF microneedling delivers outstanding, quick results with precision, comfort, and minimal recovery and downtime.
