Secret™ RF Microneedling in Portland & Lake Oswego
SecretRF is a cutting-edge skin treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to address various skin concerns, stimulating collagen and delivering lasting improvements to the skin’s tone, texture, and firmness. Safe and effective for all skin types, SecretRF is ideal for anyone seeking a non-surgical solution to maintain or enhance skin vitality.
What Conditions Does SecretRF Treat?
SecretRF is a versatile treatment designed to improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Skin laxity
- Stretch marks
- Enlarged pores
How Does SecretRF Work?
SecretRF uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin, allowing RF energy to penetrate deeper layers of the dermis. The controlled RF energy heats these deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Unlike traditional microneedling, SecretRF can reach varied depths, making it customizable for each patient’s unique needs and providing comprehensive rejuvenation.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your treatment will start with a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. Your provider will then pass the SecretRF device over the treatment area, which may feel like light pressure and a warming sensation. The treatment typically lasts 20-30 minutes for smaller areas or up to 45 minutes for larger areas.
Is There Any Downtime?
Most patients experience minimal downtime after SecretRF. You may notice slight redness, warmth, or mild swelling immediately after the procedure, which generally resolves within 1-2 days. Full recovery can vary depending on individual skin types and the depth of treatment.
