Secret RF Microneedling
Secret is a micro-needle fractional radiofrequency that stimulates collagen and elastin production rejuvenate, tighten, and lift skin. This treatment can reduce the appearance of pores, acne scars, stretch marks, and scars. A head of 64 gold-plated needles punctures the skin, while radiofrequency energy is transmitted into the surrounding tissues to compound the collagen boosting effects of the needles. The depth of the punctures can be adjusted depending on the area being treated to maximize results. This is a powerful anti-aging treatment and can be thought of as a non-surgical facelift. You may see fantastic results with just one treatment, but for best results we recommend a series of three treatments 4 weeks apart.
