If you’ve tried microneedling or laser but want something more powerful with minimal downtime, Secret RF could be the perfect solution. It’s one of the most advanced treatments available today for scarring, fine lines, pigmentation, and overall skin texture.
At The Derm Lab, Secret RF is one of our most-requested treatments—and for good reason. Here’s everything you need to know.
🔍 What Is Secret RF?
Secret RF is a cutting-edge treatment that combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency (RF) to deliver energy deep into the skin. Unlike traditional microneedling, which only reaches superficial layers, Secret RF penetrates deeper—stimulating collagen, remodeling scar tissue, and improving skin tone and texture.
⚙️ How Does It Work?
Secret RF uses ultra-fine needles to deliver controlled RF energy into precise skin depths. This heats the dermis while sparing the outer skin layer, which means:
- Faster healing
- Minimal redness or downtime
- Strong collagen and elastin stimulation
🎯 What Can It Treat?
Secret RF is incredibly versatile and effective for:
- Acne scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Skin laxity
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Large pores and uneven texture
It’s safe for all skin types, making it a favourite among patients who aren’t suitable for laser.
📍 Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Secret RF can be used on the:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Body (for stretch marks or loose skin)
⏱️ How Many Sessions Do You Need?
Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 4 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
You’ll begin to see improvements in tone, texture, and firmness after just the first session—with full results building over several months.
💡 Is There Downtime?
One of the best parts of Secret RF is the minimal recovery.
After your session, you may experience:
- Redness for 24–48 hours
- Mild swelling or dryness
- Skin may feel slightly warm or tight
Most people return to regular activities the next day.
