Cutera® Secret™ RF Microneedling

Secret™ RF Microneedling improves fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, sun damage, and more. It can also address skin texture and tone. When you come to Kingsway for your consultation, we’ll get to know a bit more about your skin concerns and medical history to determine if Secret™ RF Microneedling is right for you.

Secret™ RF Microneedling is an extremely versatile treatment that can be used to treat large areas of the body, like the abdomen, arms, knees, and thighs, along with smaller and more delicate areas, such as the areas around the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Secret™ RF Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment with only slight discomfort, although some patients have said it is somewhat more uncomfortable than traditional microneedling, as RF microneedling delivers heat energy alongside the tiny needle punctures. However, topical anesthetics like lidocaine can be used to minimize discomfort during RF microneedling.

There is no downtime associated with Secret™ RF Microneedling, but you may experience mild redness and minor swelling immediately after treatment. This should wear off within the first 24 hours, but it may take a little longer if your treatment was deeper. Most patients return to their normal activities within a day.

Results from Secret™ RF Microneedling aren’t immediate. Although initial results are noticeable, optimal results will be visible about three months after your last RF microneedling session. This is because collagen production continues gradually long after your treatment, so your results will continue to improve over time, although not forever; regular maintenance treatments may be required.

The number of treatments you will need will depend on your individual skin concerns. At your consultation, our Kingsway dermatologists will tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs, and we’ll be able to give you a better idea of how many treatments you will require to achieve the results you’re looking for.
