Aging is an inevitable part of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on having a more youthful appearance. The Secret™ RF facial treatment offers a non-surgical solution for reducing wrinkles, tightening skin, shrinking pores, and improving the appearance of scars. Find out if this skin care procedure is right for you in the guide below.

How Does Secret RF Facial Treatment Work?

Secret RF uses minimally invasive micro-needles to direct radio frequencies—the “RF” in the name—into the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and tightens elastin fibers. What makes Secret RF so effective is that it allows for precise control. The needle depth can be adjusted from 0.5 to 3.5 mm to reach different parts of the tissue.

Varied types of needles can be selected to accommodate diverse skin types. The procedure is thus suitable for all patients. This sets it apart from other skin care technologies like laser treatments, which aren’t recommended for individuals with darker skin because of the risk of hyperpigmentation. 

What Can You Expect From the Procedure?

To ensure your comfort, a numbing cream will be applied before starting. Your doctor may also recommend taking an oral pain reliever beforehand. The Secret RF device is then worked over the skin one section at a time. The entire skin care procedure takes no more than one hour.

Expect redness and swelling for several hours afterward. A fine crust may appear over the treated area in the following days; do not pick at this. It can be covered with makeup and will disappear in about one week, leaving you looking rejuvenated and refreshed.
