Are you searching for a powerful treatment to rejuvenate your skin without surgery? At The Stockbridge Clinic in Edinburgh, we proudly offer Secret RF microneedling, a groundbreaking solution combining microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to smooth, tighten, and refresh your skin from within. This advanced treatment is ideal for those who want to age gracefully and achieve natural-looking results.
What is Secret RF Microneedling?.
Secret RF is an innovative treatment pairing microneedling with fractional RF energy to remodel collagen and improve skin texture. Unlike traditional microneedling, Secret RF delivers heat deep into the skin, stimulating more profound collagen production. This dual-action process reduces fine lines, tightens skin, smooths acne scars, and improves overall tone and texture.
At The Stockbridge Clinic, Secret RF is tailored to your skin type and goals. Our experienced team adjusts the depth of the microneedles and the intensity of RF energy to treat concerns like wrinkles, skin laxity, enlarged pores, acne scars, and uneven texture. It’s suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones, thanks to its adjustable settings.
During treatment, ultra-fine needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering RF energy into deeper layers. This combination triggers your body’s natural healing response, leading to new collagen and elastin formation. Over time, this results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
The ability to adjust needle depth (up to 3.5mm) and RF energy means Secret RF can be customised for each area of your face or body. This precision ensures effective treatment for various concerns, from fine lines around the eyes to deeper acne scars on the cheeks.
Secret RF offers many benefits, making it one of the most versatile and effective skin rejuvenation treatments available:
✅ Smooths Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
✅ Improves Skin Texture & Scars: Refines rough texture and reduces acne scars or stretch marks.
✅ Tightens Loose Skin: Firms mild to moderate skin laxity for a more lifted look.
✅ Evens Tone & Brightens Skin: Helps fade sun damage and hyperpigmentation, enhancing radiance.
✅ Minimises Pores: Reduces pore size for a smoother complexion.
✅ Minimal Downtime: Redness and swelling usually subside within 12 days, letting you quickly return to daily life.
✅ Safe for All Skin Types: Adjustable settings ensure safe treatment across all skin tones.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation to design a personalised plan. On treatment day, we cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream to maximise comfort. The procedure itself takes around 60 minutes for a full face, during which you’ll feel a light prickling sensation and warmth.
After treatment, expect some redness similar to a mild sunburn, which typically fades within 24-48 hours. Most clients resume normal activities the next day. Our team will guide you through simple aftercare steps, such as keeping your skin hydrated and avoiding direct sun exposure.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
While some improvements can be seen after one treatment, a series of 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Collagen production continues to improve over several weeks after each session, with peak results appearing around three months post-treatment. To maintain your youthful glow, annual maintenance treatments are suggested.
