FAQs

Secret RF is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and address various skin concerns more effectively than either treatment alone. The device uses gold-plated microneedles that penetrate the skin to precise depths while simultaneously delivering RF energy directly into the dermis, creating controlled thermal injury that triggers robust healing and collagen remodelling. The treatment works through a dual mechanism: the microneedles create physical micro-injuries that stimulate the wound healing response, while the radiofrequency energy heats the deeper tissue, causing immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen production. Because the RF energy is delivered beneath the skin surface through the needles, it bypasses the epidermis, reducing surface damage and making it safer for all skin types including darker skin tones. Secret RF can effectively treat fine lines and wrinkles; skin laxity and sagging; acne scars and other scarring; enlarged pores; uneven skin texture and tone; stretch marks; and overall skin ageing. The treatment is commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage and body areas. Each session typically takes 20 to 60 minutes depending on the areas treated, and most people require 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. The adjustable needle depth (0.5mm to 3.5mm) and energy settings allow practitioners to customise treatment for different concerns, skin types and treatment areas.

Secret RF results typically last 1 to 3 years, with many people enjoying improvements for 2 years or longer, though longevity depends on several factors and natural ageing continues regardless of treatment. The collagen produced through Secret RF treatment is real, lasting tissue that becomes part of your skin structure. The duration of results is influenced by the number of treatment sessions completed, with a full series providing more durable results; your age and natural collagen production capacity; lifestyle factors including sun exposure, smoking, diet and skincare; genetic factors affecting how your skin ages; and ongoing maintenance treatments if desired. The typical timeline shows initial improvement visible within 2 to 4 weeks as healing completes; progressive enhancement over 3 to 6 months as collagen remodelling peaks; optimal results visible around 6 months after completing the treatment series; stable results maintained for 1 to 2 years typically; and gradual decline as natural ageing continues. To maximise longevity of Secret RF results, protect skin with daily SPF 50+ sunscreen; maintain quality skincare with proven anti-ageing ingredients; avoid smoking and excessive alcohol; consider maintenance treatments every 12 to 18 months; and maintain healthy lifestyle supporting skin health. Many practitioners recommend annual or biannual maintenance sessions to sustain and build upon initial results. Unlike temporary treatments, the collagen stimulated by Secret RF represents genuine tissue improvement that persists, though periodic maintenance helps counteract ongoing ageing processes. Most people find that while results are not permanent, the significant improvement achieved lasts long enough to make the treatment worthwhile, particularly with occasional maintenance.

Secret RF can be worth it for many people seeking significant skin rejuvenation, particularly those with multiple concerns like scarring, wrinkles and skin laxity who want comprehensive improvement from a single treatment modality. The treatment provides several valuable benefits including dual-action treatment combining microneedling and radiofrequency for enhanced results; effective for multiple concerns simultaneously; suitable for all skin types including darker skin tones; less downtime than ablative lasers with significant improvement; long-lasting results that can persist for years; and customisable treatment for different concerns and areas. Secret RF is worth considering if you have moderate skin laxity, wrinkles, scarring or texture concerns; want more dramatic results than standard microneedling provides; have darker skin and are concerned about pigmentation risks with some lasers; can invest in the higher cost, typically £300 to £600+ per session; and have realistic expectations about significant but gradual improvement. However, it may not be worth it if you have very mild concerns that simpler treatments could address; have severe laxity requiring surgical intervention; have limited budget making the cost prohibitive; expect immediate or dramatic transformation; or cannot commit to multiple sessions. Cost-benefit considerations include that Secret RF typically costs more than standard microneedling but less than many surgical options; 3 to 4 sessions totalling £900 to £2,400+ provides long-lasting improvement; results are generally more significant than standard microneedling; and the combination approach addresses multiple concerns efficiently. Compared to alternatives, Secret RF offers more skin tightening than standard microneedling; similar or better results than some laser treatments with lower pigmentation risk; less downtime than ablative resurfacing; and a non-surgical option for moderate concerns. Most satisfied Secret RF patients are those with realistic expectations about gradual, significant improvement; multiple concerns benefiting from the combination approach; ability to complete the full treatment series; and commitment to proper aftercare and maintenance.

Secret RF microneedling is a type of radiofrequency microneedling that combines traditional microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy delivery for enhanced skin rejuvenation results. The device uses a handpiece containing 25 or 64 gold-plated, semi-insulated microneedles that penetrate the skin to controlled depths while delivering RF energy directly into the dermal tissue. The technology works through precise needle penetration at adjustable depths from 0.5mm to 3.5mm reaching the dermis; RF energy delivery through the needle tips, heating tissue at the target depth; insulated needle design protecting the epidermis from surface thermal damage; and controlled thermal zones stimulating collagen and elastin production. Secret RF differs from standard microneedling in several ways: standard microneedling creates only mechanical micro-injuries relying on wound healing, while Secret RF adds thermal energy for enhanced collagen stimulation; the RF energy causes immediate collagen contraction plus long-term remodelling; deeper tissue heating provides more skin tightening than needling alone; and the insulated needles protect the skin surface, reducing recovery time. The treatment can address fine lines, wrinkles and skin ageing; skin laxity on face, neck and body; acne scars, surgical scars and stretch marks; enlarged pores and rough texture; and overall skin quality and firmness. During treatment, the handpiece is applied systematically across treatment areas; needles penetrate to the selected depth; RF energy is delivered for a fraction of a second; the process is repeated across the entire treatment zone; and multiple passes may be performed at different depths. The precision of Secret RF allows customised treatment with deeper settings for scarring or laxity and shallower settings for fine lines or delicate areas, all within the same session if needed.

Yes, Secret RF has potential side effects, though most are mild, temporary and resolve within days to a week. The treatment is generally considered safe when performed by qualified practitioners, but understanding potential effects helps set appropriate expectations. Common side effects that most people experience include redness lasting 1 to 3 days, similar to mild sunburn; swelling, particularly around the eyes if treating the face, lasting 1 to 3 days; pinpoint bleeding or crusting at needle entry points; warmth or heat sensation in treated areas; and mild tenderness or sensitivity for several days. Less common side effects include bruising, especially in people prone to bruising or on blood thinners; prolonged redness lasting beyond 3 to 5 days; temporary hyperpigmentation, more likely in darker skin types; track marks from needle insertion that usually resolve within days; and temporary skin dryness or flaking. Rare but possible complications include infection if proper aftercare is not followed; scarring from improper technique or settings; burns from excessive energy delivery; prolonged hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation; and allergic reaction to treatment products. Risk factors that may increase side effects include darker skin types having higher pigmentation risk, though Secret RF is considered safer than many alternatives; active skin conditions like acne, eczema or rosacea in treatment areas; recent sun exposure or tanning; use of certain medications affecting healing; and improper aftercare. To minimise side effects, follow all pre-treatment instructions including avoiding sun and certain products; choose experienced practitioners familiar with Secret RF protocols; disclose full medical history and medications; follow aftercare instructions carefully; and avoid sun exposure during healing. Most people find Secret RF side effects very manageable and significantly less severe than ablative laser treatments, with downtime typically limited to 2 to 3 days of noticeable redness before returning to normal appearance with makeup if desired.

Most people require 3 to 4 Secret RF treatment sessions for optimal results, though the exact number depends on your specific concerns, their severity, and your treatment goals. The sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow adequate healing and collagen production between treatments. Treatment recommendations vary by concern: for general skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing, 3 sessions are often sufficient; for acne scarring, 3 to 4 sessions are typical, with more severe scarring potentially requiring additional treatments; for skin laxity, 3 to 4 sessions are recommended; and for fine lines and texture, 2 to 3 sessions may provide good improvement. Factors affecting the number of sessions needed include the severity of concerns, with more pronounced issues requiring more treatments; your age and natural healing capacity; the specific areas being treated; your desired level of improvement; and individual response to treatment. The treatment protocol typically involves an initial consultation and assessment; a first treatment session establishing baseline response; subsequent sessions building upon previous improvements; and assessment of results 8 to 12 weeks after completing the series. Some practitioners recommend additional sessions if initial course results are good but further improvement is desired; for maintenance every 12 to 18 months after achieving optimal results; or for addressing new concerns that develop over time. Starting with the recommended 3 to 4 sessions provides cumulative benefits that build with each treatment; allows assessment of your individual response; and creates the foundation for long-lasting results. Rushing with fewer sessions typically yields suboptimal results, while additional sessions can be added if needed after assessing your response to the initial series.

Secret Pro and Secret RF are both manufactured by Cutera, with Secret Pro being the newer, more advanced platform that combines multiple technologies, while Secret RF is the original radiofrequency microneedling device. Understanding the differences helps determine which might be more appropriate for your needs. Secret RF features fractional radiofrequency microneedling using gold-plated needles; adjustable depth from 0.5mm to 3.5mm; effective for skin tightening, scarring and rejuvenation; and a single treatment modality focusing on RF microneedling. Secret Pro features the same RF microneedling technology as Secret RF plus an additional CO2 laser component; the ability to combine RF microneedling with fractional CO2 resurfacing; more versatility for addressing different concerns; and potentially more aggressive treatment options. Key differences include that Secret Pro offers dual modalities (RF microneedling plus CO2 laser) while Secret RF is RF microneedling only; Secret Pro can address surface concerns like pigmentation and texture with CO2 alongside deeper concerns with RF needling; Secret Pro may provide more comprehensive treatment in fewer sessions; and Secret Pro typically costs more due to the additional technology. Secret RF may be preferred when RF microneedling alone addresses your primary concerns; for darker skin types where CO2 laser carries higher pigmentation risk; when lower cost is important; and when focusing on scarring, laxity and collagen stimulation. Secret Pro may be preferred when both surface and deeper concerns need treatment; for comprehensive facial rejuvenation addressing multiple issues; when more aggressive treatment is desired; and for lighter skin types who can safely have CO2 treatment. Both devices use the same RF microneedling technology, so for concerns that RF microneedling alone addresses well, results should be comparable. The choice between them depends on your specific concerns, skin type and treatment goals. Your practitioner can advise which platform is most appropriate based on your individual assessment.

Secret RF causes moderate discomfort during treatment, but topical numbing cream makes it tolerable for most people. The sensation is typically described as more intense than standard microneedling due to the added RF energy, but manageable with proper anaesthesia. During treatment with numbing cream applied, you typically feel pressure and vibration from the device; brief heat or warmth as RF energy is delivered; pinching or pricking sensations despite numbness; and some areas being more sensitive than others. Most people rate the discomfort as 4 to 6 out of 10 with adequate numbing, finding it uncomfortable but bearable. Without numbing cream, treatment would be significantly more painful and is not recommended. Factors affecting discomfort include the treatment area, with bony areas and around the mouth being more sensitive; the depth setting used, with deeper penetration causing more sensation; the energy level selected; individual pain tolerance and anxiety; and effectiveness of numbing cream application and timing. Pain management typically involves topical anaesthetic cream applied 30 to 60 minutes before treatment; possible additional numbing for sensitive areas; cooling between passes if needed; and communication with the practitioner who can adjust settings if discomfort is excessive. After treatment, you may experience mild soreness and sensitivity similar to sunburn for 24 to 48 hours; throbbing or warmth in treated areas; tenderness to touch; and discomfort that gradually diminishes over days. Post-treatment discomfort is managed with cool compresses for comfort; avoiding touching or irritating treated skin; over-the-counter pain relief if needed; and gentle skincare as instructed. Most people find Secret RF discomfort very manageable with proper numbing and consider it worthwhile for the results achieved. The treatment is significantly more comfortable than ablative laser resurfacing while providing meaningful skin improvement. If you are particularly concerned about pain, discuss this with your practitioner who can ensure maximum numbing and adjust treatment parameters for your comfort.

Before Secret RF treatment, people typically have moderate skin concerns including fine lines, wrinkles and loss of skin firmness; skin laxity on face, neck, jowls or body; acne scars creating textural irregularities; enlarged pores and rough skin texture; stretch marks on abdomen, thighs or other areas; sun damage and uneven skin tone; and overall aged or tired-looking skin quality. These concerns often develop gradually with ageing, sun exposure or previous skin conditions, affecting confidence and creating desire for rejuvenation without surgery. After Secret RF treatment, following completion of a recommended series (typically 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart) and allowing full time for collagen remodelling to develop (usually assessed 3 to 6 months after the final session), most appropriate candidates experience significant, visible improvements. Common results include firmer, tighter skin with improved elasticity; smoother skin texture with reduced roughness; visibly reduced fine lines and wrinkles; improved appearance of acne scars and other scarring; smaller-appearing, refined pores; more even skin tone and improved radiance; better-defined facial contours, particularly along jawline and neck; and overall more youthful, healthier-looking skin. The degree of improvement depends on the severity of initial concerns, with moderate issues typically showing better response than very advanced problems; the number of treatments completed and energy settings used; individual healing capacity and collagen production; age and natural skin quality; adherence to aftercare and sun protection; and realistic expectations about significant but gradual improvement. Some people achieve quite dramatic improvement visible in photos and comments from others, while some experience more modest but still meaningful enhancement. During the treatment and recovery timeline, changes develop progressively: days 1 to 3 show redness and swelling that gradually resolve; days 3 to 7 see skin returning to normal appearance; weeks 2 to 4 reveal early improvement in texture and tone; months 1 to 3 show progressive tightening and collagen development; and months 3 to 6 demonstrate optimal results as collagen remodelling completes. Results continue to develop for several months after the final treatment as new collagen matures and tissue remodelling progresses. Taking standardized photos before treatment and at regular intervals helps track gradual changes that may be difficult to perceive day-to-day. Secret RF is particularly effective for skin laxity, with many people noticing visible tightening and lifting; acne scarring, showing significant improvement in texture and depth; and overall skin quality, achieving comprehensive rejuvenation. Your practitioner should provide realistic before and after photos from their own work demonstrating typical results for concerns similar to yours. Most people are very satisfied with Secret RF results, finding that the combination of microneedling and radiofrequency provides more significant improvement than either treatment alone, with manageable downtime and long-lasting results that justify the investment. The treatment offers an effective non-surgical option for people seeking meaningful skin rejuvenation without the recovery time of more aggressive procedures.
