What is Secret™ RF?
Secret™ RF is an advanced rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radio-frequency energy (RF energy) for maximum results. The Secret™ RF treatment uses microneedling to deliver precisely controlled RF energy deep within the skin, where it is unable to reach with other techniques. This produces the already beneficial effects of microneedling with the added skin tightening and collagen-inducing benefits of radio-frequency energy, improving skin quality and appearance.

How Much Does Secret™ RF Cost?
The cost of your Secret™ RF treatment can vary depending on the number of treatments necessary to deliver your optimal results. During your consultation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that will best fulfill your cosmetic goals and skincare needs. At this time, we will be able to provide you with the exact cost of treatment. We also offer financing options to help make Secret™ RF more affordable.
Am I A Good Candidate for Secret™ RF?
The Secret™ RF treatment is safe for all skin types, so it is a suitable treatment for most patients. You may be a good candidate for Secret™ RF if you would like to address any of the following common skin concerns:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Age spots or other discoloration
- Stretch marks
What is the Secret™ RF Treatment Like?
Before the Secret™ RF treatment, we will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort that may occur. Then, the Secret™ RF handpiece will be used to make tiny punctures in the skin, delivering RF energy into the surrounding area. This process is fairly comfortable, although patients typically feel a heating sensation in the skin. The Secret™ RF treatment is completed in less than 30 minutes.
Is There Downtime After Secret™ RF?
After the Secret™ RF treatment, we will apply a restorative ointment to the skin. You will be able to return to work and other activities immediately after your treatment, but patients should not apply makeup to the skin until the day after treatment. You may notice minor redness or mild swelling in the skin, but these are common side effects of treatment that typically fade within a day.
SecretRF™ Testimonials
I’m so happy with the outcome of my procedure and currently in the process of secret RF treatments. Dr Hankins explained everything he was going to do thoroughly and took the time to answer all my questions. The staff checked on me to make sure I was ok and to ask if I had any questions and that made me feel really good. I’m impressed with Dr. Hankins work and look forward to visiting him in the future. I highly recommend.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect from Secret™ RF?
Patients usually begin to notice results from Secret™ RF about one month after treatment, once the skin heals and collagen and elastin production begins and starts to strengthen the skin. However, a series of treatments is typically needed for optimal results. We often recommend a series of three or four treatments, each spaced about one month apart. Patients will notice continued improvements in their results throughout their treatment process, with optimal results developing about three months after the final treatment. After the initial treatment process is complete, patients can maintain their results with annual Secret™ RF treatment sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions about Secret™ RF
How does Secret RF work?
Secret RF combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to increase collagen production. This increases the process of collagen turnover and increases the collagen content of the dermis, thus helping to tighten the skin, diminishes visible signs of aging, and improves skin quality and appearance.
Is Secret RF painful?
No, you won’t feel much discomfort with Secret RF as we use a numbing agent beforehand. At most, you’ll feel a warming sensation from the radiofrequency energy.
How long does Secret RF typically take?
It depends on the size of the treatment area, but typically, a Secret RF treatment session takes between 30 minutes to an hour.
How many treatment sessions will I need to see results?
We usually recommend 3-4 treatment sessions at 4 – 6 week intervals to achieve the best results.
When will I start to see the results of Secret RF treatment?
You’ll likely start to notice some results after the second treatment session, with full results appearing approximately three months after your last Secret RF treatment.
What skin concerns can Secret RF address?
Thinning of the skin, fine lines and wrinkles and scarring, in particular acne scarring.
How long will the results of Secret RF last?
The longevity of the results after treatment is permanent.
What should I do to keep my skin looking good after Secret RF?
Avoid sun exposure, use of a high quality sunblock that blocks both UVA and UVB to skin. We have a zinc oxide based sunblock that is hypoallergenic and non irritating to the skin and eyes unlike chemically based sunblocks. All scars after treatment, should Include the use of a sunblock or better total protection from sun exposure for a complete year.
Is there any downtime after Secret RF treatment?
Downtime is minimal. The redness is usually gone within 48 hours, even with an aggressive treatment.
Does Secret RF get rid of stretch marks?
Stretch marks are the result of stretching of the skin beyond the elastic recoil of the elastin fibers of the skin and thinning of the dermis. Secret RF, by increasing the collagen content of the skin and thickening of the dermis can diminish the appearance of the marks. We have seen results vary from nearly a near “photoshop” removal of the stretch mark, to a more modest level of improvement, which is usually the rule. The vast majority of our patients are happy with their results.
