This combination treatment utilizes microneedling and radiofrequency to create a synergistic treatment. With minimal downtime, Secret RF, targets texture, pore size, acne scarring, wrinkles and anti-aging concerns by simulating collagen and elastin. Minimal treatments and maximum results make this technology a go-to for many patients no matter the age or concern.
This treatment targets a variety of concerns including but not limited to; acne scarring, body & face scars, stretch marks, texture concerns on face or body, wrinkles, jowling, eye bags or eye wrinkles, and skin laxity.
The microneedling creates controlled injury to the skin and reaches the dermis layer of our skin, where collagen and elastin live. The radio frequency portion emits the energy into the subdermal portion of the skin using the microneedle to deliver the energy deeper than ever before. These two modalities stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin and will also provide a tightening effect.
4-6 weeks apart is an ideal treatment schedule.
Secret RF allows for the addition of radio frequency to further enhance results as compared to microneedle alone. The downtime is like microneedling and less treatments are needed with Secret RF. It is known that ten treatments of microneedle can be compared to one treatment of Secret RF!
You may add PRP (platelet rich plasma) to get extra anti-aging benefits. The PRP will also shorten the recovery period as well.
No, we use pharmaceutical grade numbing cream that will make the treatment quite comfortable throughout the process.
Downtime can vary slightly from patient to patient but generally redness with slight swelling is seen for about 48 hours post treatment. Redness is similar to a sunburn or windburn.
Most patients require 3-6 treatments to get optimal, long lasting reduction in their concerns. Results can be noticed a few days after treatment, but collagen and elastin can take up to 3 months to produce so your results are increased daily! It is important to keep your skin healthy at home with proper skincare such as pharmaceutical grade antioxidants and sunscreen. Taking these measures will increase your results.
