Secret™ RF
The more we learn about aging, the more we learn that common signs and symptoms are caused by a natural loss of volume over time. This happens because your body’s process of building new collagen slows down, causing wrinkles and folds to form. One extremely popular and effective option in the cosmetic treatment industry is radiofrequency microneedling for its rejuvenating benefits. We offer Secret™ RF at our New York City office for the best in non-surgical skin transformation.

Am I a Candidate?
Secret RF is an excellent option for women looking to address skin concerns without downtime. Traditionally, plastic surgery has been the gold standard in removing excess skin, but non-surgical alternatives are more effective than ever. Secret RF can improve signs of aging, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles, poor skin quality, stretch marks, surgical scars and acne scars. Although Secret RF is a great option for facial rejuvenation, it can also be used on areas where you experienced stretch marks or scarring as a result of pregnancy. It is also very helpful in terms of combatting the loose or “crepey” skin appearance that come with aging in places like the inner thighs, underarms, neck, décolletage, and above the knees.What Happens During Treatment?
Secret RF treatments can be completed in a quick, 15-minute treatment session. We’ll make sure you’re relaxed and comfortable with a topical anesthetic before beginning. The handpiece is then applied to the treatment area and you may feel gentle warming and some pressure. Once the area is thoroughly treated, you can return home.What Can I Expect Afterward?
You can expect some minor redness and sensitivity after each treatment, and this usually subsides within one or two days. You should be sure to use only gentle and fragrance-free skincare products on the area, but you can otherwise return to your normal schedule. For best results, we recommend a treatment package of 3-4 treatments spaced one month or more apart to fully address your concerns. You’ll begin to see results over time after each treatment, with your best results emerging about 3 months after your final treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Secret RF work?
Secret RF uses microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy through tiny microchannels in the skin. This stimulates collagen production as the body works to naturally heal these tiny wounds.
How much does Secret RF cost?
The cost of Secret RF varies by the treatment area and other factors. Secret RF treatment is beneficial for a wide range of patients and their concerns, and the procedure is very customizable. As a result, the price can vary greatly depending on the specifics of your procedure. To learn more, schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment and overall cost.
How should I care for my skin after Secret RF?
After your treatment, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions. Generally, you should avoid washing the treatment area with hot water until redness has subsided and be sure to wear SPF and avoid sun exposure.
How long does Secret RF last?
On average, patients can expect their Secret RF results to last between 12 and 18 months. After this time, you can have maintenance treatment to keep up a rejuvenated look.
Does microneedling hurt?
By applying a topical anesthetic prior to treatment, Secret RF microneedling treatments are virtually painless and provide a gentle warming sensation.
Does microneedling really work?
In the hands of our skilled aestheticians, Secret RF microneedling can be a highly effective way to tighten, firm, and rejuvenate skin from the inside out.
How can I get rid of scars?
There are several non-surgical methods of removing scar tissue whether caused by previous surgery or acne scarring. Secret RF microneedling is one effective way to smooth the appearance of skin through increased collagen production and dermal tissue stimulation.
Can microneedling help with wrinkles?
Yes, Secret RF can be an effective way to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen production in treatment areas.
Is radiofrequency microneedling safe?
Yes, our Secret RF-trained aestheticians carefully monitor the device’s thermal energy output as well as the treatment area’s exposure to the microneedles.
How many treatments will I need?
Most people seeking skin tightening, scar revision, or relief from other concerns need 2-3 treatments for optimal results.
Can I wear makeup after Secret RF Treatment?
Because your skin will be sensitive for a while immediately after a Secret RF treatment session, we recommend you avoid using any makeup or skincare products for 24 hours following your appointment.
Is Secret™ RF better than microneedling?
Secret RF microneedling is superior to traditional microneedling because it offers enhanced overall skin tone and texture. This is because it is more effective in producing collagen and elastin than microneedleing without radiofrquency technology.
