How It Works

How This Equipment Works

Secret RF works by inserting non-insulated microneedle electrodes into the skin and then emitting radiofrequency (RF) energy from the needle tips. As the needles pass through the epidermis and reach the dermis, they create fine channels, and the heat energy instantaneously generated at these points produces a coagulation reaction in the tissue.

The thermal stimulation formed in this way is known to induce the rearrangement and regeneration of collagen and elastin fibers within the dermis, and through repeated treatments this process is involved in bringing about gradual changes in the texture of scar tissue and the elasticity of pore walls.

  • Needle depth and energy intensity can be adjusted by area
  • A minimally invasive method that minimizes epidermal damage
  • A relatively short recovery period compared with laser ablation

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is the treatment very painful?

A. Since it is often performed after applying a numbing cream beforehand, pain varies from person to person but is generally known to be tolerable. However, because the needles are inserted into the skin, you may feel some stinging or a sensation of pressure.

Q. How long do the treatment and recovery take?

A. The treatment itself is often performed in about 20–40 minutes depending on the area. Temporary redness or fine scabs may appear after the treatment, and they usually tend to subside within a few days to a week, though this varies by individual.

Q. About how many sessions and at what intervals should I receive?

A. Depending on the condition of the scars or pores, it is common to have several sessions at intervals of 3–4 weeks, but the exact number and interval are best decided through a consultation after examining the skin condition.

Q. Is there anything to be careful about after the treatment?

A. It is recommended to apply plenty of sunscreen to the treated area and avoid direct sunlight. Also, right after the treatment, it is better to avoid irritating cosmetics and pay attention to moisturizing.
