What it is

Secret RF is a skin needling (microneedling) treatment that combines ultra-fine micro-needles with radiofrequency (RF) energy. It is used for fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and post-surgical scarring. By delivering controlled RF heating into the deeper layers of the skin, it remodels and stimulates collagen beyond what needling alone achieves. The procedure takes about an hour, with a typical recovery of one to three days.

How it works

The micro-needles penetrate the skin's deeper layers and deliver radiofrequency energy, introducing controlled heat that substantially enhances collagen stimulation. Every aspect of the treatment can be customised, including needle depth, area coverage and intensity. Unlike lasers, which work from the skin's surface inward, RF energy works from the inside out. This makes it well suited to deeper concerns such as rolling atrophic acne scarring, and generally means a shorter recovery than comparable laser treatments.

What it can address

Secret RF can be used for fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, other facial or body scars, sun damage and pigmentation, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, mild skin laxity, crepey skin and stretch marks.

What to expect and aftercare

On day one, expect mild redness and swelling similar to sunburn; recovery is typically brief, often under 36 hours, though the skin may feel dry or flaky around days three to four. Avoid washing the area or applying products for the first 24 hours, and hold off on makeup for at least 24 hours to let the skin barrier heal. Avoid sweating and heat-generating activities for 24 hours, and skip skincare with active ingredients such as retinol, alpha hydroxy acids and vitamin C for five days. Your skin will be more sun sensitive afterwards, so minimise sun exposure and resume sunscreen from 24 hours post-treatment. Avoid other skin treatments or cosmetic injectable procedures for two weeks either side of your session.

Sessions and results

Visible improvements are typically noticeable within the first month, with optimal results around the three-month mark. For most people, three initial sessions spaced four to six weeks apart are recommended, with intervals of up to twelve weeks in some plans. Severe or persistent acne scarring may need one to three additional sessions. A single maintenance treatment every six months is suggested to sustain results. Outcomes vary between individuals and are discussed at consultation.

Who it suits

You may not be a suitable candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have open sores or irritated skin, an allergy to stainless steel, a bleeding disorder, or are currently taking certain prescription acne medications. Please inform the clinic if any of these apply to you. Before treatment, avoid waxing or chemical hair removal on the area for two weeks, avoid blood-thinning or anti-inflammatory medications for two to five days unless medically directed, and steer clear of vigorous exercise and excessive alcohol for 24 hours to reduce the risk of bruising. A consultation confirms suitability.
