Secret RF Microneedling (RFMN) is a state-of-the-art technology that deploys microneedles into the skin to deliver radiofrequency energy. The depth and energy can be tailored to specific skin concerns and skin types. RFMN treats skin texture and tone by improving fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, redness and acne scars. It can be used on the face, neck, chest, upper arms, hands and legs. 3-5 RFMN sessions are typical for age-related skin changes.
For younger skin a single session may be just the thing to reboot the skins collagen and elastin production for firmer glowing skin.
Secret RF is relatively “colour blind” to skin type and can be used throughout the year unlike laser skin treatments.
The SECRET® can be paired with other treatments such as BOTOX ® and dermal filler for a high impact natural looking facial rejuvenation.

.What is the SECRET RF treatment and recovery like?
- Discomfort is managed using topical numbing and typically described as 4/10.
- The treatment time is 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the treated areas and if multiple skin layers are being treated at once.
- Usual treatments are divided into 3-5 sessions.
- The down time is patient friendly and can be tailored to your lifestyle and commitments; it is typically 12-48 hours due to swelling and redness.
- Makeup can be used the following day.
- Other effects include possible warmth, itching and temporary changes to skin sensation and needle grid pattern lasting 2-7 days depending on skin type, on the depth and density and location of treatment.
- The treated skin looks refreshed the following week.
- The new collagen and elastin production begins in the following weeks and months as your skin begins the dermal remodeling process. Visible benefits are typically seen at three months after the treatment series is completed and build over the following 3-6 months.

How is The Secret with Radiofrequency different from other energy base systems such as IPL/BBL or The Dot fractionated resurfacing which use laser energy?
- Medical laser treatments such as ablative fractionated CO2 are well studied safe technologies. While both CO2 and RF can be used for scars, lines and laxity, most skin types can be treated safely and effectively with RF and patients can be treated at any time of the year –whereas laser treatments, even IPL are avoided if there is a risk for suntan on the treated skin.
- Microneedling is a popular treatment but doesn’t have the same regenerative capability. Adding the energy – the RF – makes treatment more effective with similar downtime.
