A part of the journey.

Your skin undergoes many changes as you go through life. From fine lines, wrinkles and sagging to visible pores, post-inflammatory scars and stretch marks, the signs of life’s challenges can become permanent imprints on your skin. But there are ways to revitalize your skin with the help of cutting-edge treatments such as Secret RF.

Why Do We Need Radiofrequency Microneedling?

Collagen is one of the most important elements of healthy and youthful-looking skin. This structural protein works as your skin’s natural scaffolding, providing it with strength, structure and support. Unfortunately, collagen levels tend to decline as you age. In addition, factors such as inflammation, sun exposure and genetics can also affect your skin’s collagen levels. The result is textural changes, including fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, enlarged pores and, in some cases, stretch marks. Secret RF is an innovative treatment designed to address these issues by remodeling collagen.

How do Botox, Dysport, & Daxxify work?

Imagine our facial muscles constantly contracting and relaxing, causing the skin to fold and crease. Over time, as our skin loses elasticity, these repetitive movements engrain lines that linger. Wrinkle relaxers target this very phenomenon. By temporarily blocking nerve signals, these treatments reduce muscle contractions, allowing the skin to relax and smooth out.

How Does Secret RF Work?

Secret RF is an innovative device that combines two technologies in one to deliver dramatic results with minimal downtime. Unlike traditional microneedling, which uses tiny needles to “injure” the skin in a controlled manner and make it produce new collagen, Secret RF simultaneously delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy through the microneedles. RF energy delivered this way can reach the deeper layers of the skin, where it causes controlled heating and greater collagen production. The result is smoother, tighter and revitalized skin.

What does Secret RF treat?

Secret RF is a versatile procedure that addresses a multitude of skin concerns. From facial blemishes to body scars, the restorative properties hold great promise.

Acne Scars

Radio Frequency Microneedling can reduce the appearance of acne scars by promoting new collagen formation.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

By boosting collagen and elastin production, Secret RF can diminish fine lines and wrinkles.

Large Pores

The treatment can tighten the skin and reduce the appearance size of enlarged pores.

Reduced Skin Elasticity

By stimulating collagen production, RF microneedling can improve the skin's elasticity.

Scars

Beyond just acne scars, microneedling can also improve the appearance of scars caused by injuries or surgeries.

Hair Loss

When used with appropriate serums or medications, RF microneedling can stimulate hair growth for conditions like alopecia.

Sun Damage

The procedure can aid in reversing the texture associated with sun damage.

Texture Improvement

For those looking to enhance their skin's surface and achieve a more radiant appearance, RF microneedling offers an effective solution.

What do neurotoxins treat?

Targeting fine lines and wrinkles, these treatments are designed to address specific areas, including:

  • Glabellar lines

  • Forehead lines

  • Crow’s feet

Our skilled clinicians can also use wrinkle relaxers to achieve a subtle brow lift or reduce the appearance of neck bands. While neurotoxins are FDA-approved for these areas, there are numerous off-label uses, such as treating the lower face, masseter, trapezius, and calf muscles.

Who Are Good Candidates for Radiofrequency Microneedling?

Almost anyone can be a candidate for Secret RF, no matter their skin tone, type or age. The ideal candidates for this treatment are those concerned about mild to moderate problems with skin texture and laxity. Patients with early signs of aging, for example, and who do not want to undergo more aggressive treatments with deep peels or laser resurfacing can benefit from this treatment. Younger patients with acne scarring or stretch marks can also see great results from RF microneedling.

What to Expect During Secret RF Treatments

Secret RF is a minimally invasive treatment that involves limited downtime. If you have never experienced an RF microneedling treatment before, you are probably curious to learn what the treatment process involves and what you can expect. To help familiarize you with this revolutionary skin revitalization treatment, here is an overview of the treatment process.

Consultation

Your clinician will talk to you about your skin concerns and cosmetic goals and review your medical history. They will assess your skin to see if you are eligible for treatment and offer alternatives if necessary. During your initial consultation, your clinician will walk you through the treatment and share pre- and post-treatment instructions.

Preparation

To prepare your skin for RF microneedling, we will gently cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream. You may need to wait for the numbing cream to take effect. The numbing cream will then be removed from your skin prior to treatment.

Treatment

During the treatment, tiny needles will penetrate your skin and simultaneously, RF energy will be deployed. You might feel slight pinching and heating during this process. Depending on the area being treated, the treatment usually takes around 30 minutes to complete. We recommend a series of at least three treatments to see results, however, some patients may need more treatments.

Post-treatment

Your clinician will apply a soothing serum and sunscreen after treatment. They will explain how to take care of your skin in the days and weeks after your treatment and schedule your next session.

Post-Procedure Guidance

Once all injections are completed, your injector will give some brief instructions—like avoiding lying down or massaging the area for a few hours and skipping strenuous activities for the day.

Secret RF Recovery

While RF microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment, there will be some redness and warmth to the skin immediately after the treatment, and you may experience minor discomfort as your skin heals. The warmth usually dissipates in a few hours, and the mild redness should resolve within 72 hours, but oftentimes sooner. You will notice subtle changes in your skin as the effect of treatment gradually unfolds to reveal rejuvenated and refreshed skin. Here is what a typical recovery after Secret RF Microneedling looks like.

The first 24 hours

It is normal for your skin to appear slightly red for a couple of hours post-treatment, similar to what you would experience with a mild sunburn. This is the result of RF heating the dermis and is a sign that the treatment is working. You can wash your skin with a mild cleanser after treatment and you will be asked to keep your skin moist with post-treatment balm to aid in healing. In addition, make sure to wear sunscreen as your skin heals.

Days one to three

Some patients notice minor swelling and redness for up to three days, which usually resolve on their own. Rarely, there can be small spots of bruising, which can take a little longer to heal. Makeup can be worn 24+ hours post-treatment, however, we also recommend continuing the healing balm and SPF.

After three days

Some patients will notice the small channels made by the device either in the mirror or when touching the skin. This does not always occur but is part of the normal healing process. Continue using the healing balm and talk with your clinician about which other home care products you can resume.

Secret RF Results

Your skin will look brighter and more radiant as you heal post-treatment. However, it can take between three and six months for the full effects of treatment to unfold. This is because it takes a while for the skin to produce new collagen fibers. With each subsequent treatment, your results will become more prominent. The results include diminished fine lines, reduction in pore size, reduced sagging and an overall smoother and more even complexion.
