Radiofrequency microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity.

During the procedure, fine needles are used to create tiny punctures in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. At the same time, RF energy is delivered through the needles to deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This dual action promotes skin rejuvenation, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin laxity. The RF energy heats the underlying tissues, tightening them and improving skin firmness.

The treatment is typically performed on the face, neck, and other areas with loose or aging skin. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, with minimal downtime and a gradual improvement in skin quality over time.

Thank you so much to Dr Ben for my recent treatments at the Stockbridge Clinic. As it was my first time having any aesthetic treatments, I was quite nervous, but he was amazing and listened carefully to what I wanted. My results are very natural and I’m so pleased with them. I would highly recommend Dr Ben, especially for anyone considering treatments for the first time!

I can’t recommend Stockbridge Facial Aesthetic Clinic highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. This is a doctor-led clinic, and the team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and clearly have a deep understanding of facial aesthetics and injectable treatments. I felt completely confident and at ease in their hands. The clinic itself is relaxed, welcoming, and such a lovely place to visit it genuinely feels calm and reassuring the moment you walk in. Everything is explained thoroughly, and the care and attention to detail really set them apart. I would 100% recommend Stockbridge Facial Aesthetic Clinic to anyone considering aesthetic treatments, and I will definitely be back. A truly great clinic and an all-round excellent experience.

As an older woman with a number of age related skin issues, I was self conscious about my skin and nervous about having treatment. However both Dr.Ben and Karen at the Stockbridge clinic took time to really listen to my concerns and explain what would work best for my skin and my age. I felt really taken care of and the whole experience was so relaxing and pleasant. Highly recommend this clinic.

My partner and I started seeing Karen for facial laser treatments last year. Along with our skin being fresher and clearer, she has somehow found a way to make me laugh through less-than-enjoyable hair removal treatments! She is so knowledgeable and friendly - Highly recommend Karen and Stockbridge Clinic.

I went to The Stockbridge Clinic for a Laser Genesis treatment with Karen and the results have been amazing. The space is beautiful, the team lovely and my skin has never looked better! For skin or aesthetic treatments in Edinburgh I couldn’t recommend The Stockbridge Clinic more.

So glad I found this place. The clinic is clean and staff are very friendly offering great prices. Seeing Karen every month is a breath of fresh air. She really cares for her clients and I trust her in helping me manage my skin. Wouldn’t go anywhere else now I have found her.

Concerns this will help

Sagging Skin

Sagging skin is primarily caused by the natural aging process, as the production of collagen and elastin—proteins that provide skin with firmness and elasticity—declines over time. This loss leads to skin loosening and sagging. Sun exposure accelerates this process, causing photoaging and further weakening of the skin’s support structure. Other factors, such as smoking, dehydration, poor diet, and a lack of sleep, can also contribute by damaging the skin’s ability to regenerate and maintain moisture.

Dull Skin

Dull skin can be caused by several factors, often linked to a buildup of dead skin cells, poor circulation, or dehydration. As we age, skin cell turnover slows, leading to a lack of radiance. Sun damage can also cause uneven skin tone, making skin appear lackluster.

Acne Scarring

Acne scarring occurs when inflamed acne lesions damage the skin’s deeper layers, causing tissue loss or irregular healing. There are two main types: atrophic scars, which are sunken or pitted, and hypertrophic scars, which are raised and thick. Atrophic scars result from a loss of collagen, while hypertrophic scars occur due to excess collagen production. Factors like picking at acne, severe breakouts, and delayed treatment can worsen scarring.

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks, or striae, occur when the skin is stretched rapidly due to factors like pregnancy, puberty, rapid weight gain, or certain medical conditions. The skin’s collagen and elastin fibers tear under pressure, leading to visible, often red or purple marks that fade to a lighter color over time. Hormonal changes, particularly involving corticosteroids, can also weaken the skin’s elasticity. Treatments for stretch marks include topical creams with retinoids or hyaluronic acid, which can improve skin texture.

FAQs


What’s the difference between Secret RF and microneedling?

Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving texture. Secret RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, which delivers controlled heat deep into the skin. This dual approach not only promotes collagen growth but also tightens and firms the skin, addressing fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and sagging more effectively than standard microneedling.

How many sessions of Secret RF microneedling are needed?

The number of sessions varies depending on your skin concerns and desired results. Most patients benefit from 3 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Some individuals may notice improvement after just one treatment, but a full course ensures optimal skin tightening, texture improvement, and long-lasting results.

Who is a good candidate for Secret RF?

Secret RF is suitable for most adults who want to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, or minimise scarring. It is particularly effective for those seeking a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime. Patients with active skin infections, severe acne, or certain medical conditions may not be suitable, so a consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential.
