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.

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.
