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.

I’ve had several treatments with Dr Ben, and he’s an excellent aesthetics doctor with a wealth of experience. His NHS background, many years of practice and varied roles in the aesthetics industry give me real confidence. I always feel I’m in safe hands. The whole team at the clinic is lovely, and every visit is a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to go back, and I’d definitely recommend Dr Ben, his team and the clinic.

Recently completed 2xSecret RF and then 1xSecret RF followed by 1xCO2 laser treatments. I found Ben and his team to be very professional and courteous at every visit. Fantastic explanation and continuous checking that I was fine during treatment was extremely reassuring. I would dehumanising recommend this team for aesthetic treatments.

My recent visit to the Stockbridge Clinic was 5stars, from the warm welcome, to the offer of a hot or cold drink and the professionalism from every member of staff. All the practitioners I met were so friendly and helpful. I had a Sculptra treatment with Dr Ben who was so knowledgeable about all the available treatments. I was in safe hands, I had minimal downtime with my treatment and absolutely no bruising . I also bought some skincare when I was there to compliment my treatment which I love I would highly recommend Dr Ben and all his team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have recently visited The Stockbridge clinic for the Secret RF treatment and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the minute I arrived I was greeted by the team and made to feel so welcome and at ease, all of them so friendly & professional. My treatment was carried out by Sarah and she explained everything so well & told me what to expect making me feel really comfortable. She was extremely thorough & professional & I really can see that my skin has improved so much since getting it done. Would definitely recommend the treatment.

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.
