Secret RF is a microneedling treatment with Radio Frequency (RF) energy which improves the quality, resilience, and appearance of aging skin, smoothing fine lines, wrinkles and scars, and comes with little to no downtime.

For glowing, healthy skin Microneedling with RF

Secret RF delivers fractional RF energy with microneedles to treat several skin layers, including the deeper layers, where the greatest benefit to skin quality is achieved. The advanced delivery of RF energy, coupled with custom microneedling, creates a visible improvement in skin quality, and the treatment is appropriate for all skin types. To achieve optimal results, three Secret RF treatments are recommended. You’ll start to notice results after your second treatment, and will continue to improve, achieving maximum impact about three months following your last treatment.

What can Secret RF do for my skin?

Secret RF treatments are the ultimate microneedling procedure for face, neck and decolletage. This advanced treatment addresses a range of skin issues, including:

Age spots
Sunspots
Uneven skin tone
Dull skin
Acne scars
Uneven or rough skin texture
Fine lines and wrinkles
Enlarged pores

The microchannels created by the needles send a signal to your system to heal and create new, healthy collagen. The RF energy emitted through the needles triggers even more skin regeneration, with your skin responding by developing new, fresh, collagen and elastin fibers that tighten and lift skin, smoothing wrinkles and lines, and leaving your skin looking healthy, refreshed, and smooth.

What is the recovery time?

It is normal to experience some minor swelling and skin redness, which fades within a few days, if not sooner. Any discolorations can be camouflaged with makeup until they fade. Speak to us about which skincare products will be most beneficial. Use sunscreen when venturing out.

Secret RF FAQs

What is Secret RF?

Secret RF is a novel approach to deliver fractional radio frequency (RF) energy to all layers of the skin with minimal damage to the skin’s surface. The multi-layered treatment is tailored to each individual and addresses their unique skin concern during each customized treatment.

What skin conditions does it treat?

The Secret RF treatment is ideal for improving aging skin, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, scars, acne scars, skin quality and stretch marks. The treatment is safe and effective, and suitable for all skin types and patients seeking skin revitalization.

How does it work?

Secret RF uses microneedles to deliver radio frequency energy into varying levels of the skin including the deeper layers where treatment is most beneficial. Unlike other devices which only deposit energy in the upper layer of the skin, Secret RF delivers RF energy below the surface where it’s needed most to help revitalize and regenerate the tissue. This unique delivery of energy allows us to achieve optimal results with little to no downtime on all skin types.

What is the Secret RF procedure like?

During the treatment, you will feel a slight heating and some pressure on the treatment area. For most patients, the treatment is tolerable, but your provider will work with you to maximize your comfort level. Prior to the procedure, your provider will apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to increase comfort during the treatment.

How many Secret RF treatments will I need?

Patients typically need 3treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Most patients report seeing improvement after the second treatment however results are optimized 3 months after the last treatment.

What can I expect after my procedure?

After the treatment, an ointment will be applied to the skin, and you will be asked to refrain from wearing makeup for several hours. Any minor redness or swelling resulting from treatment will subside within 12-24 hours. After the treatment, you can expect to return to normal activities.
