The Short Answer
Secret RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered through insulated needles directly into the dermis, so heat lands where collagen is built rather than on the surface. Adjustable depth lets us treat thin under-eye skin and a heavy jawline in the same session, and a series of three treatments is standard.

Session Time
45 to 60 minutes

What Is Secret RF Microneedling and How Does It Work?
Secret RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered directly into the dermis through insulated needles, so heat lands where collagen is built rather than on the surface.
That combination tightens and remodels more aggressively than microneedling alone, with adjustable depth for the face, neck and jawline.
Benefits of Secret RF Microneedling
Skin Tightening
RF energy firms skin at a deeper level than needling alone.
Improves Scarring
Effective for acne scars and stretch marks.
Precision Control
Adjustable needle depth customized to your skin.
Depth Adjustable Per Zone
Needle depth is set from 0.5 to 3.5 mm, so delicate and dense areas each get appropriate treatment.
Tightens and Resurfaces
You get microneedling's collagen remodeling plus radiofrequency's dermal tightening in one pass.
Safe Across Skin Tones
Energy is delivered below the surface through insulated needles, avoiding the pigment risks of light-based devices.
Where We Treat With Secret RF
Myth vs. Fact: Secret RF
Myth
“RF microneedling is the same as regular microneedling.”
Hover for the fact
Fact
Microneedling creates mechanical micro-injury. Secret RF adds radiofrequency heat delivered into the dermis through the needle tips, which contracts existing collagen and stimulates far more new collagen. Same needles, fundamentally different depth of effect.
Myth
“It will tighten loose skin like a facelift.”
Hover for the fact
Fact
It will not. Secret RF meaningfully improves mild to moderate laxity and skin quality. Significant sagging needs Ultherapy at minimum, and sometimes surgery. We will tell you which category you are in.
Myth
“Deeper settings are always better.”
Hover for the fact
Fact
Depth must match the tissue. Running deep settings on thin under-eye skin risks damage, while treating a jawline superficially wastes the appointment. Varying depth by zone is the entire skill of this device.
