Microneedling has become increasingly popular in recent years for its ability to refresh and revitalise the skin. Also known as collagen induction therapy, traditional microneedling works by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin using a specialised device. This process activates the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production for a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion.
For enhanced results, microneedling can be combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy—a powerful combination that delivers deeper, more targeted skin rejuvenation. This advanced approach is the foundation of Secret RF microneedling, offering synergistic benefits beyond traditional microneedling alone.

Secret RF is an innovative fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment specifically designed to promote collagen production and address common signs of aging. Unlike many laser-based therapies that treat the entire skin surface, Secret RF creates targeted, microscopic zones of controlled injury within the dermis—the deeper layer of tissue beneath the epidermis. Because the surrounding tissue remains intact, patients typically experience fewer side effects, shorter recovery times, and a faster overall healing process.
Secret RF microneedling combines the skin-rejuvenating effects of traditional microneedling with the added benefit of radiofrequency (RF) energy. As the ultra-fine needles create micro-channels in the skin, RF energy is delivered deep into the dermis, generating heat that tightens and lifts the tissue. In addition to its visible firming effect, this heat also intensifies the production of collagen and elastin—boosting the natural benefits of microneedling. By simultaneously treating both the surface (epidermis) and deeper layers (dermis) of the skin, Secret RF provides a comprehensive approach to skin revitalisation.
This advanced fusion of microneedling and radiofrequency energy addresses a variety of skin concerns by rejuvenating from within. Some of the common issues that can benefit from Secret RF microneedling include:
One of the greatest advantages of Secret RF is its high level of customisation. Before your treatment begins, we can tailor your session by:
Once these parameters are set, your practitioner will guide the handpiece across the targeted area. As the handpiece moves, the needles quickly penetrate the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. Depending on the size of the area being treated, a session can be completed in as little as 20 minutes.
Minor bruising, swelling, and redness can occur after Secret RF microneedling due to the skin’s penetration—even though the needles are very small. In most cases, you can resume your usual activities right away if you’re comfortable with how your skin looks. Some patients prefer to wait a day before returning to work to allow any redness to subside.
Your skincare professional will provide guidance on how to care for your skin post-treatment. Typical recommendations include:
Immediately after your Secret RF microneedling procedure, your skin may feel sensitive and appear slightly flushed. These effects typically subside within a day or two, revealing an initial improvement in brightness and tone. Over the next three to six weeks, collagen and elastin production will continue to increase, enhancing your results.
Many patients notice improvement after just one or two treatments, with optimal outcomes often visible around three months following the third session. Treatments are typically scheduled four to six weeks apart to address individual concerns and varying degrees of severity.
After completing the initial series, your results can be long-lasting. However, as the natural aging process continues, maintenance appointments once or twice a year are recommended. During your consultation, our medical professionals will develop a customised plan tailored to your skin’s specific needs.
