Secret RF Microneedling

Secret RF uses microneedles to deliver fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy into varying levels of the skin with minimal damage to the skin surface. The deeper layers where treatment is most beneficial are targeted. This dual approach encourages collagen and elastin production, helping improve tone, texture, and firmness. Unlike traditional microneedling, Secret RF penetrates the dermis with heat energy to enhance results.

During treatment, the device’s small needles penetrate the skin and release radiofrequency energy below the surface. This gentle heating encourages the body’s natural healing response, leading to new collagen formation and tissue remodeling over time. Because the outer layer of skin is left mostly intact, downtime is minimal, and the approach can be safely used across different skin types.

Secret RF microneedling is designed to improve several skin concerns, including signs of aging, photodamage, fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne scars, uneven texture, and stretch marks. It can also enhance overall skin quality by encouraging new collagen production.

While commonly performed on the face, patients also choose this treatment for the neck, chest, and body areas where laxity or scarring may be a concern. Secret RF is suitable for all skin types and offers a versatile option for those seeking skin revitalization.

You may be a candidate if you want noticeable improvements in texture and firmness without surgery or long recovery periods. At Awazul in Kihei, we will assess your goals and recommend whether Secret RF microneedling is the right choice for you.

Secret RF is an easy, safe, and effective procedure performed in the office. Depending on the areas treated, it usually takes less than an hour. Before the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to increase comfort during the treatment.

During the treatment, you will feel a slight heating and pressure on the treatment area as the device moves across the skin. The treatment is tolerable for most patients, and our team will work with you to maximize your comfort level.

Patients typically need 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Most patients report improvements after the second treatment; however, results are optimized three months after the last treatment.

Results vary based on the individual. To maintain results, maintenance treatments are recommended every 12-18 months.

After the treatment, an ointment will be applied to the skin, and you will be asked to refrain from wearing makeup for several hours. Any minor redness or swelling resulting from treatment will subside within 12-24 hours. You can expect to return to normal activities after the treatment.

Some patients notice improvements after the first session, with results continuing to build over several months. The best outcomes typically appear after completing the whole series of treatments.

Most people can resume daily routines within a day or two. Any redness or swelling usually fades quickly, making downtime minimal compared to surgical options.
