Secret RF is a fractional RF micro-needling treatment that significantly stimulates collagen production. RF energy heats different layers of the skin and makes the skin tighter, while it minimally harms its top layer. This significantly reduces downtime. Microneedles can deliver RF energy even to the deepest layers of the skin where the benefits of this treatment are needed the most. It regenerates and revitalizes the skin’s tissue. 

One of the amazing benefits of Secret RF is that it can treat the entire body. Aging signs are not just visible on the face, they can be seen on the hands and other body areas. This treatment is effective in addressing all those areas. Patients can actually see the difference between how they look and feel after the treatment. 

Each treatment can be customized to address each patient’s individual skin concerns. The treatment is ideal for improving skin laxity, stretch marks and scars. It makes the skin smoother and firmer.

This treatment is the most advanced RF technology that removes old collagen fibers and deep coagulation. It is FDA-approved and safe for all skin tones.

HOW DOES SECRET RF MICRO-NEEDLING FOR THE BODY TREATMENT WORK? 

The technology behind this treatment lies in using very fine needles that puncture the skin and emit RF energy in a precisely controlled manner. This dermatology device has a disposable 25 needle tip, attached to the end of the applicator. The microneedles penetrate the skin at previously set depths. The delivered RF energy heats the tissue surrounding the microneedles. These micro-wounds stimulate the skin tissue to begin healing and producing new and healthy collagen. As the new collagen builds up, the skin appears firmer and smoother. 

The treatment is completely safe because the precisely controlled RF energy doesn’t over-heat or burn the skin. It reaches the middle layer of the skin where there is an abundance of collagen. The energy reconstructs the skin’s collagen support system and heals the damaged skin tissue. Once the underlying tissue is remodeled, the top layer of the skin is firmer and more elastic. 

WHY IS RF ENERGY IMPORTANT IN AESTHETIC DERMATOLOGY?

Radiofrequency is an electric energy that safely heats the skin’s dermis to up to 60 degrees. It triggers the production of elastin and collagen that keep the skin firm. 

The RF energy used in this treatment is bipolar and it doesn’t need a grounding pad – the energy is emitted between the electrodes. It is also fractional and targets only the damaged tissue and not the surrounding healthy tissue. This way the healthy skin cells speed up the healing of the damaged tissue and reduce downtime. 

WHAT DOES SECRET RF FOR THE BODY TARGET?

Since the treatment applicator tip consists of 25 micro-needles it can be used for larger body areas. It can address:

  • Loose skin
  • Stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs or buttocks
  • Acne and other scars
  • Thin and crepey skin above the knees

What singles Secret RF treatment out is that the microneedles are perfectly spaced out and safely emit RF energy waves. There is no risk of overheating or adverse side effects. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SECRET RF FOR THE BODY TREATMENTS?

This treatment consists of precise emitting of RF energy – this makes it different from the standard micro-needling procedure. It makes the skin tighter and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The results are achieved much faster because the RF energy is delivered to the deepest layers of the skin. 

Secret RF for the body treatment requires only minimal downtime and achieves great results. Each treatment can be fully customized to address the skin concerns of every patient. The skin heals quickly because the micro-needles treat only damaged skin tissue. This reduces the risk of serious side effects. After a couple of sessions, the patients achieve great results because the RF energy reaches every damaged skin cell at least one time during the sessions. 

Secret RF is much less invasive than some ablative treatments, but it delivers almost the same results. Secret RF is also more comfortable and minimizes downtime. After a couple of days, the patients can return to their normal everyday routine. 

This treatment improves the skin from the inside out. This means that it doesn’t harm the top layer of the skin which is the most vulnerable layer. It stimulates collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin and leaves the top layer only with minimal side effects that resolve really quickly. 

The treatment is safe for all skin tones even the darker ones. RF energy is color-blind and doesn’t cause hyperpigmentation or blisters on the skin. It is much less aggressive than stronger lasers and chemical peels.  

Secret RF is a fast treatment and can be finished in an hour. It all depends on the size of the targeted area. 

The results include tighter, smoother and mildly lifted skin. As the new collagen and elastin build up, stretch marks, scars and other skin blemishes become less visible. The loose skin on the abdomen, arms, buttocks or thighs is significantly firmer and more elastic. The results are natural-looking and long-lasting and can be easily prolonged with occasional touch-up treatments.

    FREQUENT QUESTIONS

    • WHO IS A PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR SECRET RF FOR THE BODY TREATMENT?

      This minimally invasive treatment can help patients solve their skin concerns with short downtime. It is suitable for both men and women and for all skin types.

    • HOW DOES THE SECRET RF TREATMENT FOR THE BODY LOOK LIKE?

      The first step is consultation with Lucia’s therapist. The therapist examines the patient’s skin on problematic body areas and determines how many treatment sessions are necessary to achieve the best results. The therapist creates a treatment plan that will specifically address the patient’s skin concerns.

      Before the scheduled treatment, the patient should avoid tanning and sun exposure for at least 1 week. Also, the patient shouldn’t take aspirin, ibuprofen or other blood thinners to reduce the risk of bruising after the procedure.
      On the day of the treatment, the tehrapist first cleans the targeted body area and applies topical anesthetic cream to ease the discomfort. After about 20 minutes, the therapist starts the treatment. With the use of a proper applicator tip, the therapist presses the patient’s skin. The patient feels heat and pressure on the targeted area. The patient tolerates the treatment well because it is only mildly uncomfortable.

      The treatment is quite short and can be finished in less than an hour. It all depends on the severity of the skin concerns and the size of the treated area.

    • WHAT ARE THE SECRET RF FOR THE BODY SIDE EFFECTS AND DOWNTIME?

      The patient may experience small bleeding points at the treated area where the microneedles have punctured the skin. The bleeding should stop right away. Other side effects include redness of the skin, warmth and tightness of the treated area. The patient’s targeted area looks sunburnt and can be swollen. Anti-inflammatory medication can be taken to reduce the swelling. Also, the treated area might feel a little rough to the touch in the first day or two.

      The patient needs to avoid the heat, and exercise and apply any products to the skin in the first 24 hours.

      The patient shouldn’t wash the treated area for 4-6 hours. The discomfort should end after a couple of days when the patient can resume all daily activities.

    • HOW MANY SESSIONS OF SECRET RF TREATMENT ARE NECESSARY?

      Every patient has different skin and different skin concerns. Every patient reacts differently to the treatment. Some patients notice the improvements in their skin quality after the first session, while others need more sessions for optimal results. Usually, it is advised to have 4 to 6 sessions, 3 to 4 weeks spaced out. The number of sessions is determined during the consultation with Lucia’s therapist.

    • WHEN ARE THE RESULTS OF THE RF SECRET FOR THE BODY VISIBLE?

      When the deep layers of the skin are punctured by micro-needles, micro-wounds stimulate the body’s natural healing process and the skin starts to improve immediately. However, new collagen and elastin need a little time to build up, so the results are noticed after 4 to 6 weeks. The results continue to improve and the patient can see the best effects of this treatment three months after the final treatment session.

      The patient can have additional touch-up treatments once a year to maintain the results.
