Secret™ RF FAQ
How does it work?
Secret™ RF microneedles gently penetrate the skin, causing minimal damage to the skin. Once the needles reach the targeted depth, RF energy is evenly delivered to the skin to stimulate and remodel collagen. Following a series of 3-4 treatments, you will notice your skin looking younger, smoother, and more even.
What can I expect during the treatment?
Secret™ RF is a quick and easy procedure that is performed in less than 20 minutes. Prior to the treatment, your provider will apply numbing cream to the treatment area. During the treatment you will feel some light pressure and heat. Most patients find the procedure tolerable and experience minimal discomfort.
What can I expect after the treatment?
Immediately following the treatment, an ointment or soothing mask will be applied to the skin. You can return to your normal activities immediately. It is recommended that you wait at least 4 hours before washing your face, and refrain from wearing makeup for several hours, allowing your skin to heal. You may experience minor redness or swelling following the treatment, which will subside within 12-24 hours.
How long will it take to see results?
Results are typically seen after the second treatment, with best results seen 3 months after the last treatment. A series of 3-4 treatments are recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. To maintain results, maintenance treatments are recommended every 12-18 months.
