    What is Secret RF Microneedling?

    Developed by Cutera, this innovative skin treatment combines microneedling and precisely-controlled RF energy to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate your skin. Secret RF can address your most common skin conditions and help you achieve a more youthful, radiant appearance.

    What are the benefits?

    Secret RF is a highly effective treatment that can noticeably improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of your skin. It can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, sun damage, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and improve aging skin, making you look younger and more radiant.

    Additionally, Secret RF is a minimally invasive treatment that requires little to no downtime compared to more invasive treatments like surgery (which requires incisions and anesthesia) or laser resurfacing. Thus, you avoid the risks and recovery time associated with surgical procedures. This also means that you can return to your daily routine right after the procedure without needing to take time off work or avoid certain activities.

    And yet another benefit of the Secret RF system is that it is safe for all skin types. Unlike some other treatments that can be harsh on sensitive skin, the Secret RF procedure is gentle enough to be used on even the most delicate skin. This makes it a great option for anyone who wants to improve the appearance of their skin without risking damage or irritation.

    The Benefits of Secret RF Microneedling include:

    Improved skin tone and texture

    Reduced fine lines and wrinkles

    Reduced acne scars and hyperpigmentation

    Improved stretch marks

    Loose skin tightened

    Minimal downtime

    Safe on all skin types

    How does a Secret RF treatment work?

    During the treatment, a handheld device with tiny needles is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process which includes the production of collagen and elastin. The device also delivers radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, further stimulating collagen production.

    While Secret RF may sound intimidating, it’s actually a minimally invasive treatment that typically takes less than an hour to complete and can be done in the comfort of our office.

    Secret RF treatments can be customized to meet your specific needs. We can adjust the depth of the needles and the intensity of the RF energy based on the severity of your skin concerns. The number of treatments required to achieve optimal results will vary depending on the severity of your skin concerns and your desired outcome.

    We’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs. This may involve multiple sessions of Secret RF microneedling, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the best possible results.

    Secret RF Treatment Results

    Most patients see results within a few weeks of their Secret RF microneedling treatment as their treated skin begins to produce more collagen and elastin which are essential proteins for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. Many patients who have struggled with acne in the past have also found relief with Secret RF microneedling.

    Over time, the results of Secret RF microneedling will continue to improve, as the skin becomes tighter, firmer, and more youthful-looking. This is because the increased production of collagen and elastin helps to rebuild and strengthen the skin’s structure, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

    Overall, Secret RF microneedling is a highly effective and versatile treatment that can help patients improve the appearance of their skin in a variety of ways. Whether you’re struggling with fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, or simply want to achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion, Secret RF may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

    The Secret RF Procedure

    Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:

    Step 1: Consultation – The first step is to meet with our licensed esthetician for a consultation to discuss your goals and expectations. We’ll examine your skin and determine if you’re a good candidate for the treatment.

    Step 2: Numbing Cream – Once you’re ready for the procedure, the esthetician will apply a topical numbing cream to help minimize any discomfort. This cream will need to sit on your skin for about 20-30 minutes to take effect.

    Step 3: Microneedling – After your skin is numb, the esthetician will use a special handheld device to gently puncture the skin with tiny needles. The needles used in Secret RF microneedling are incredibly small, so you should experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. These needles will deliver precisely controlled fractional radio frequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin where it can stimulate collagen and elastin production. The device will be moved back and forth around the treatment area and the depth of the needles can be adjusted depending on your skin’s needs.

    Step 4: Post-Procedure Care – After the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising in the treatment area, but this should subside within a few days. You may also notice some mild flaking or peeling as the skin begins to regenerate. We may give you some creams or ointments to apply to your skin to help with the healing process. It’s important to avoid direct sunlight and strenuous exercise for a few days to help speed up the healing process.

    In general, the Secret RF microneedling procedure typically takes about 30-45 minutes to perform, depending on the size and location of the treatment area. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, although you should avoid wearing makeup or applying any skincare products to the treated area for at least 24 hours.

    Aftercare

    After the procedure, your skin may be red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. You may also experience some minor bruising or pinpoint bleeding. These side effects are normal and typically subside within a few days.

    To help with your recovery, the esthetician may recommend using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer on your skin. You should avoid using any harsh skincare products or exfoliants for at least a week after the procedure. It’s also important to protect your skin from the sun and wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

    Recovery

    Most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may cause sweating for at least 24 hours after the procedure. You should also avoid swimming or soaking in a hot tub for at least 48 hours.

    It’s important to follow the esthetician’s aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and to achieve the best results. You may start to see improvements in your skin within a few days to a few weeks after the procedure. However, optimal skin rejuvenation results may take several months to fully appear.

    Overall, Secret RF microneedling is a safe and effective procedure for improving skin quality, tone, and texture. Schedule an appointment with us today to learn more about this innovative treatment and see if it’s a great option for you.

    I've been to several laser hair removal clinics before and none were able to explain some things to me as well as Mimi was (like why we get razor bumps in some areas and not others). Her service is great and prices are more than reasonable. She really cares about her clients and is a joy to talk to! Go see her (:

    Mimi is the best out there. She is the only one I let touch my brows. Plus, as for the hair removal on my legs, I really luv the fact that as long as I get my touch ups here n there I'll never have to shave again.
