Secret RF

Secret combines radiofrequency with fine micro-needles. Radiofrequency heats the deeper layers of the skin to encourage new collagen and elastin and cell turnover, and the needles deliver it straight to the depth that needs it, without surgery.

What it is used for

On the face

  • Skin tightening
  • Wrinkle reduction
  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Pore reduction
  • Acne scars
  • Other scars

On the body

  • Scars
  • Hyperhidrosis (excess sweating)
  • Stretch marks

Who it suits

Unlike lasers and IPL, Secret can be used on all skin types, on the face and the body. It is a good choice for sensitive skin that can’t take harsher treatments such as laser resurfacing.

During the treatment

  1. A local anaesthetic numbing cream is applied 30 to 60 minutes before the treatment.

  2. The Secret tip moves over the area while its micro-needles deliver radiofrequency directly into the skin. The depth is set between 0.5 and 3.5 mm, depending on your skin and what is being treated.

  3. The treatment itself takes about 45 to 60 minutes, including aftercare.

Common questions

How long does a Secret RF session take?

The numbing cream needs 30 to 60 minutes to work. The treatment then takes about 45 to 60 minutes, including aftercare.

Is the treatment painful?

Discomfort varies from person to person and with the depth of the micro-needling. With a numbing cream and mild oral painkillers, the treatment is very well tolerated.

How long does recovery take?

Redness and swelling may last for several hours. Most people return to normal activity the same day or the next. Uncommonly, mild swelling and redness last up to 3 days. Fine brown crusting in a grid pattern may stay for around 8 days; it covers well with make-up. Don’t pick or rub it.

How far apart are sessions, and how many are needed?

Sessions are usually 3 to 4 weeks apart. Collagen builds gradually, so the most benefit is usually seen after 4 to 5 treatments, and the result of each treatment takes 4 to 6 weeks to begin to show.

Are there precautions after the treatment?

Our nurse goes over your skin-care routine with you. Don’t cleanse the skin until the redness and irritation settle; then use cool water and pat dry. Avoid hot water, apply sunblock every day and limit time in the sun during the course.

Who is a dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a doctor who, after the MBBS course, has been specially trained to treat concerns of the skin, hair and nails.

Do I need an appointment to see the dermatologist?

Yes, for any problem with your skin, hair or nails. Call or WhatsApp 096062 30460, or send the appointment form and we’ll call you back.

Do the doctors perform the procedures?

Yes. Our dermatologists see every patient personally and perform the procedures, assisted by rigorously trained therapists.

Is it necessary to get dermatological treatment?

Yes. Like any other health concern, a skin or hair problem needs to be treated in time. Skin and hair don’t only matter for how you look: they also protect the body.

Are the treatments safe?

We follow strict, tested protocols and guidelines for every skin and hair concern, and use USFDA-approved equipment.
