Microcell

Microcell means “situated or occurring inside a cell(s)”. This treatment employs fractional radio frequency to treat inner layers of the skin. Radio frequency is instantly radiated to the dermal layer to treat acne, acne scars and pores.

Microcell at Renovo Skin Clinic is a type of fraxel treatment that differs from the existing method. Previously, heat energy was only delivered through the epidermis. Microcell , however, directly inserts heat energy into the necessary dermal layer without delivering heat energy across several layers. The Automatic Insertion System, consisting of a gold needle of approximately 49 micro needles, delivers the energy accurately to the skin.
