What is Secret RF?

Secret RF is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling system. Fine needles enter the skin at controlled depths and deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the surface. The combination of controlled micro-injury and RF energy stimulates the skin’s natural repair response and collagen remodelling. Treatment depth and energy can be adjusted according to the area being treated and the treatment goal. Secret RF is one branded RF microneedling system. Other RF microneedling devices use similar underlying principles but may differ in needle configuration, energy delivery, treatment depth and protocols.

Best for

Acne scarring

Uneven skin texture

Enlarged pores

Fine lines and selected firmness concerns

Additional benefits people may notice

Smoother-looking skin

Improved skin quality

More refined-looking texture

Secret RF is primarily considered for texture, selected acne scarring, enlarged pores and fine lines. Some people may also notice gradual improvement in firmness and overall skin quality, but results vary and lifting outcomes should not be overstated.

When Secret RF may not be the first choice

RF microneedling can be useful for several skin concerns, but the best treatment depends on what is actually causing the concern and how significant it is. For deeper acne scars, particularly tethered rolling scars or ice-pick scars, additional scar-specific treatments such as subcision or TCA CROSS may be considered. More significant resurfacing goals may sometimes be better suited to fractional laser treatments. Active skin infection, significant inflammation and certain medical circumstances may also affect treatment suitability. A professional assessment should determine whether RF microneedling is appropriate and what treatment settings should be used.

Example treatment journey

01 — Consultation

02 — Preparation

03 — Treatment

04 — Recovery

05 — Results

The skin concern, treatment area, skin type and medical history are assessed and an appropriate treatment plan is discussed. The skin is cleansed and topical anaesthetic is commonly applied before treatment. The Secret RF handpiece delivers microneedles into the skin at selected depths while radiofrequency energy is delivered into the targeted tissue. Treatment settings may vary across different areas of the face or body. Redness, warmth and mild swelling are common initially. Some people develop temporary pinpoint marks or fine crusting. Changes develop gradually as collagen remodelling occurs over the following weeks and months. A course of treatments is commonly recommended rather than expecting the final result after one session.

What results can you expect?

Improvement is gradual rather than immediate. Potential improvements may include smoother skin texture, improvement in selected acne scars, reduced appearance of enlarged pores, softening of fine lines and improved skin firmness or quality. Results vary according to the concern being treated, scar type and severity, treatment settings, number of sessions and individual healing response.

What is the downtime?

Downtime is generally relatively short, although it depends on treatment intensity and individual response. Common temporary effects may include redness, mild swelling, warmth, sensitivity and pinpoint marks or crusting. Many people return to normal activities within a few days, although visible skin changes can occasionally persist longer.

Results develop gradually and vary according to the concern being treated, treatment settings, number of sessions and individual healing response.

COST

Indicative treatment cost

Varies by treatment area and clinic

Pricing may vary depending on the size of the treatment area, treatment intensity, clinic location and practitioner experience. Multiple sessions are commonly recommended, so total treatment-plan cost is worth considering rather than comparing single-session prices alone.

Location

Prices vary between clinics

Practitioner experience

Expertise can influence pricing

Other approaches that may be considered

The most appropriate option depends on the pigment type, skin type, treatment history and individual risk profile.

Standard Microneedling

Microneedling without radiofrequency energy, commonly used for texture and skin-quality concerns.

Fractional CO₂ Laser

A more intensive resurfacing option that may be considered for selected scars and texture concerns.

Subcision

A scar-specific procedure particularly relevant to selected tethered rolling acne scars.

TCA CROSS

A targeted technique commonly considered for selected ice-pick acne scars.

Supporting skincare

Recovery support
• Gentle cleanser
• Bland moisturiser
• Broad-spectrum SPF 50+
• Avoiding harsh actives until the skin has settled

Skincare can support recovery and help protect results, but it should not be positioned as a replacement for appropriate scar treatment where structural scarring is present.

Gentle skincare and sun protection are important during recovery. Product and ingredient suitability should be assessed individually, especially while redness, sensitivity or pinpoint crusting is present.
