What is RF Microneedling?
Secret RF microneedling by Cutera is a type of treatment that produces targeted injuries to the skin by delivering multiple fine needles and heat deep in the dermis to remodel the tissue and help produce collagen and elastin. This is great for texture, fine lines and wrinkles, scar improvements, and skin tightening.
It is truly a versatile treatment that has gained popularity over the past few years and is relatively quick, with little to no downtime.
Is this painful?
RF Microneedling is described by many as pinchy and a little uncomfortable. However, we make sure that you are numb before the start of the procedure. We apply topical numbing and offer injections for additional comfort.
What Skin Concerns Can Secret RF Microneedling Treat?
Secret RF Microneedling is suitable for all skin tones and requires little or no downtime. Various skin concerns can be addressed with this technology. When handled by an experienced individual, it can:
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of sagging skin by firming and tightening it
- Ensure smooth skin
- Ensure that pores do not appear large
- Relieve acne scarring and hyperpigmentation
- Reduce the appearance of stretch marks
- Remove a small amount of fat just beneath the skin (not enough to reduce facial volume significantly)
- Sun Damage
Secret RF Microneedling works by creating microscopic channels, which allow the device to deliver radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin. This energy then helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that support smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Several places on the body can benefit from the treatment, including the abdomen, buttocks, chest, arms, and knees, but it is widely used on the face and neck (particularly to treat jowls, to firm the jawline, and to enhance the area around the mouth).
What Happens During a Secret RF Microneedling Session?
Before treatment, numbing cream is applied to the area to make it more comfortable.
On the treated area, 1-3 passes will be conducted with the device. Using the special applicator with coated pins, the fat and connective tissue will be gently warmed, resulting in tighter skin, reduced wrinkles, and overall rejuvenation.
Most people require three treatment sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Your entire session may last for about 90 minutes.
After the treatment, you may notice some redness and swelling in the treated area, which generally goes away in 24-48 hours but this is normal and should resolve within a few days.
Secret RF Microneedling Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from RF Microneedling is relatively easy, with only a few days of social downtime involved. For approximately one to three days following treatment, you may experience redness, itching, and swelling.
You can take care of your skin after a treatment by:
- Using a gentle cleanser only for a week
- Using a ceramide containing moisturizers or serums
- Utilizing products that contain growth factors and peptides to enhance your results
- Avoiding direct sun exposure and using sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30
- Avoiding extreme heat or exercising in the first 24 hours to minimize swelling
How Long Does It Take To See Results?
Typically, patients will see initial results within a few days after their treatment. However, full results may take three to six months to appear, as collagen production takes time. However the results from RF Microneedling are long-lasting, and patients can expect to see a gradual and significant improvement in the appearance of their skin with maintenance sessions.
