FAQ
How many Secret™ RF treatments are given?
Usually, a patient receives 3 to 4 sessions that are scheduled about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
When will I see results after Secret Rf treatments?
Most patients receiving Secret™ RF treatments see a visible improvement after the second treatment. However, optimal results are noticed 3 months after the last treatment session.
What happens after the Secret RF treatment?
After the treatment, you will notice a tingling feeling and your treated skin will be warm and red. This type of reaction will usually subside in a couple hours. However, some redness may remain and swelling may still be featured the next day. However, a patient can still return to work or resume daily activities the day after the treatment without difficulty.
After the procedure, a bio-cellulose mask is usually placed on the skin for 10 minutes. You cannot apply any type of substance for 24 hours. Cosmetics should not be applied for 24 hours after the treatment.
How do you define the Secret™ RF System?
Secret™ RF is a fractional radio frequency (RF) microneedling therapy that uses a system-based approach to remodel and promote the manufacture of collagen and elastin. This is done so the signs of facial aging or other skin disorders can be treated by a less aggressive means of therapy.
How is RF energy delivered?
The practitioner adjusts the micro-needles on the Secret™ RF device to deliver energy at varying depths. This is done so the patient’s skin care needs can be addressed individually.
What does Secret™ RF treat?
This microneedling therapy treats skin conditions, such as fine lines, wrinkles, scars, or photo aging. Each condition is treated at a certain skin depth, from 0.5 to 3.5mm, with minimally invasive fine micro-needles to protect the non-treated tissues around the treatment site. This approach makes it possible to facilitate dermal remodeling, based on the size of the treatment area and the depth of the skin condition that is treated.
What types of needles are used at Secret RF?
Both semi-insulated and non-insulated needles are used on the Secret™ RF micro-needling device. Needles can therefore be used to treat a broad range of dermatological applications, including darker or hyper-pigmented skin.
How much does Secret™ RF micro-needling therapy cost?
While the average price is about $1,175, the price range for the procedure (as of 2020) ranges from $500 to $2,100.
What are the features of Secret™ RF treatment devices?
The dual hand-pieces featured for Secret™ RF treatments use two sizes of treatment tips, or 25 and 64 pins for faster treatments. The 64-piece hand piece is designed to cover larger treatment sites.
What skin areas does the Secret™ RF micro-needling device cover?
Secret™ RF devices are used to treat the face, chest, neck, and skin difficult to access. The 64-pin handheld device is suggested for larger treatment areas.
