Address skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, scars, and enlarged pores with minimal discomfort and no downtime. It can achieve skin tightening comparable to surgery but with less risk and recovery time.
What is Secret RF?
Secret RF is a type of radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment used in cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic medicine. It uses an insulated microneedling device to deliver targeted RF energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulating heat triggers the body’s natural wound healing cascade, boosting collagen and elastin production.
The name “Secret” refers to the unique insulation on the microneedles which directs RF energy to the desired depths in a precise, controlled manner while protecting the surface of the skin.
Multiple treatments are typically needed for best results as the body responds to the collagen and elastin remodeling process over weeks to months following the initial procedure.
How Does Secret RF Work?
RF is a form of electrical energy, and it is used to carefully heat the skin dermis to 50 – 75 ºC which is the temperature required for the stimulation of collagen synthesis.
The micro-needles (25-pin) in Secret RF can be calibrated at various depths (0.5-3.5mm), allowing specific tailoring for different areas and concerns. E.g. thin skin areas at under eyes and forehead will require shallower penetration (0.5mm) compared to thicker skin areas like the cheeks (3mm).
During each shot of the treatment, the 25-pin micro-needles will create 25 microscopic punctures at the depth of choice (0-5-3.5mm). Then, RF energy delivered via the tiny needles deep into the skin dermis layer, transmitting heat to stimulate collagen and elastin. This subsequently rebuilds and strengthens the skin’s support system.
What can Secret RF Treat?
Acne & acne scars
By directing radiofrequency energy below the skin's surface to boost collagen production, it smooth the indented appearance of acne scars while its wound healing effects help clear active breakouts over time.
Large Pores
Radiofrequency thermal energy remodels collagen deep in the skin to plump and tighten pore walls, refining skin texture and reducing the visible size of enlarged facial pores.
Fine lines & Wrinkles
Targeted heating beneath the skin triggers new collagen production to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles from the inside out.
Jowl Fat
Triggers collagen remodeling in the skin and face which lifts and tightens the lower face and jawline for a gradual reduction in saggy jowl fat.
Double Chin
Radiofrequency energy to the skin under the chin and along the jawline to gently heat tissues, stimulate collagen rebuilding, and gradually lift, tighten, and contour the area for a reduced double chin.
Eye Bag
By heating and tightening the thin under eye skin, boosts collagen to firm and smooth the delicate area, reducing the puffy, sagging appearance associated with under eye bags.
Eye Bag & Double Chin Reduction
Secret RF has a single needle handpiece which can penetrate deep into the fat layer and deliver RF energy to induce lipolysis (fat melting). Hence it is effective in reducing eye bag fats, jowl fats and double chin fats.
It is also used for the subcision of acne scars. Subcision is a procedure to break and release the fibrotic strands that tether the scar down to the underlying tissue.
Is Secret RF Safe?
This treatment is safe and can achieve significant results without the need of using aggressive skin resurfacing lasers or harsh chemical peels. Since the energy is delivered directly to the deeper dermis, damage to the skin’s surface is minimal, thus reducing visible downtime.
