The Dermatology and Laser Center is proud to offer Secret RF, a new microneedling treatment that dramatically improves signs of aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles and scars with little downtime. Secret RF uses microneedles to deliver fractional Radio Frequency (RF) energy into varying levels of the skin including the deeper layers where treatment is most beneficial. This unique delivery of energy allows us to achieve optimal results on all skin types, achieving a great alternative to a facelift.
Secret RF is an easy, safe and effective procedure that can be performed in a quick, 30-minute treatment session. To achieve the optimal effect, 3 Secret RF treatments are recommended. You’ll start to notice results after your second treatment, but optimal results appear 3 months after the last treatment.

What is Secret RF?
Secret RF is one of the top performing devices for RadioFrequency Microneedling. RF Microneedling is an advanced treatment and a novel approach to deliver fractional radio frequency (RF) energy to all layers of the skin with minimal damage to the skin’s surface. The multi-layered treatment is tailored to each individual and addresses their unique skin concerns during each customized treatment. It is perfect for deep lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and textural acne scars. It is also great for anyone that just wants a dramatically smoother and tighter skin appearance.
What skin conditions does it treat?
The Secret RF treatment is ideal for improving aging skin, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, scars, acne scars, skin quality and striae. The treatment is safe and effective, and suitable for all skin types and patients seeking skin revitalization.
How does it work?
Secret RF uses microneedles to deliver radio frequency energy into varying levels of the skin including the deeper layers where treatment is most beneficial. Unlike other devices which only deposit energy in the upper layer of the skin, Secret RF delivers RF energy below the surface where it’s needed most to help revitalize and regenerate the tissue. This unique delivery of energy allows us to achieve optimal results with little to no downtime on all skin types.
What is the treatment like?
Secret RF is an easy, safe and effective procedure that can be performed in a quick, 30-minute treatment session. During the treatment, you will feel a slight heating and some pressure on the treatment area. For most patients, the treatment is tolerable but your physician will work with you to maximize your comfort level. Prior to the procedure, you will apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to increase comfort during the treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
Patients typically need 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Most patients report seeing improvement after the second treatment however results are optimized 3 months after the last treatment.
How long do the results last?
Results vary based on the individual. To maintain results, maintenance treatments are recommended every 12-18 months.
What can I expect after my treatment?
After the treatment, a post treatment cream will be applied to the skin and you will be asked to refrain from wearing make-up for several hours. Any redness or swelling resulting from treatment will typically subside within 24 hours, but with more aggressive treatments may take 3 or 4 days.
