Intensif Microneedle Fractional Skin Remodelling
ENDYMED PRO™ is a computerised system that generates pulses of radio frequency (RF) energy, which are emitted into the skin. RF energy heats the tissue to trigger collagen remodelling for the treatment of wrinkles and rhytides.
The Intensif (Microneedles Fractional Skin Remodelling) handpiece contains a matrix of 25 microneedles. Skin improvement is achieved through a combination of skin coagulation and stimulation that result in a collagen remodelling process. The treatment parameters can be modified using the microprocessor control, to achieve specific tissue effects depending on the individual patient’s skin condition and anatomical site treated.
The treatment heads of the Intensif handpiece are composed of an array of 25 microneedles (300-micron diameter) electrodes arranged to deliver RF energy. Intensif treatment can assist in the improvement of acne scars, wrinkle reduction, and overall skin rejuvenation, with mild discomfort and downtime.
Anaesthetic: Topical anaesthetic.
