What is Secret RF?

Secret RF is a minimally invasive microneedling treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to address a variety of skin concerns. At The Face Clinic we are one of the only clinics in Scotland to offer this groundbreaking technology!

How Secret RF Works:

  1. Microneedling:

    • Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body's natural healing process.

    • This process triggers collagen and elastin production, essential proteins for maintaining skin's firmness and elasticity.

  2. Radiofrequency Energy:

    • RF energy is delivered through the microneedles into the deeper layers of the skin.

    • This energy heats the tissues, further promoting collagen and elastin production and tightening the skin.

Benefits of Secret RF:

  • Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.

  • Tightens Skin: Enhances skin firmness and elasticity.

  • Minimizes Pores: Helps reduce the size of enlarged pores.

  • Reduces Hyperpigmentation: Evens out skin tone and reduces dark spots.

  • Minimal Downtime: Patients typically experience minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures.

  • Customizable Treatment: Depth of the microneedles and RF energy levels can be adjusted to target specific skin concerns.

Treatment Areas:

Secret RF can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, décolleté, and hands, to improve skin quality in these areas.

Procedure:

  1. Consultation: Our expert team will assess your skin concerns and determine whether SecretRF is for you.

  2. Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.

  3. Treatment: The device with microneedles and RF energy is passed over the treatment area. The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the area.

  4. Post-Treatment Care: Patients might experience redness and mild swelling, which usually subside within a few days. Skincare products and sun protection are recommended to aid healing.

Results:

Patients often notice an improvement in their skin's texture and appearance after a few weeks, with optimal results usually visible after multiple sessions. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the results.

Secret RF is popular for its ability to rejuvenate the skin with minimal disruption to daily life, offering a non-surgical alternative to more intensive skin treatments.
