Is Secret RF Microneedling 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, which some find calming.

How long does Secret RF typically take?

It depends on the size of the treatment area, but typically, a Secret RF treatment session takes 30 minutes to an hour. Downtime is minimal after your procedure. Even with aggressive treatment, the redness is usually gone within 48 hours.

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 you come for our consultation, we will build a procedure plan that works best for your needs.

What should I do to keep my skin looking good after Secret RF?

Avoid sun exposure using a high-quality sunblock that blocks UVA and UVB on the skin. Unlike chemically based sunblocks, we have a zinc oxide-based sunblock that is hypoallergenic and non-irritating to the skin and eyes. All scars, after treatment, should include the use of a sunblock or, better total protection from sun exposure for a year.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of Secret RF Microneedling appointments depends on your specific skin concerns and desired results. Typically, patients require three to four treatments about four to six weeks apart to achieve optimal outcomes.

How long until I see results?

Patients in Texas usually begin to notice results from Secret RF about one month after treatment, once the skin heals and collagen and elastin production begins and strengthens the skin. However, a series of treatments is typically needed for optimal results.

Does Secret RF get rid of stretch marks?

Stretch marks result from stretching the skin beyond the elastic recoil of the elastin fibers of the skin and thinning of the dermis. Secret RF Microneedling, by increasing the collagen content of the skin and thickening the dermis, can diminish the appearance of these marks. We have seen results vary from nearly a near “photoshop” removal of the stretch mark to a more modest improvement, which is usually the rule. The vast majority of our patients are happy with their results.

Can I combine Secret RF Microneedling with other procedures?

Secret RF Microneeding can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance overall results. Many patients pair it with treatments like chemical peels, Botox, or dermal fillers for a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation and anti-aging. Let’s discuss these combinations in a consultation so we can offer expert advice!

What are the risks associated with Secret RF Microneedling?

While Secret RF Microneedling is generally safe, there are some risks and potential side effects to consider: Redness and swelling Bruising Infection Temporary hyperpigmentation Skin irritation or sensitivity

Secret RF Microneedling First Step

What’s the
first step?

The first step in undergoing Secret RF Microneedling in Houston is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hankins. During this initial visit, Dr. Hankins will assess your skin concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Secret RF is your proper treatment. He will also explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have, ensuring you feel confident and informed before proceeding. There are no secrets during this consultation—well, except for the procedure name. Everything else is clear-cut and transparent with our team!

What to Expect From a Secret RF Microneedling Treatment

Before the Secret RF treatment, we will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort. Then, the Secret RF handpiece will make tiny punctures in the skin, delivering RF energy into the surrounding area. This process is relatively comfortable, although patients typically feel a heating sensation in the skin. The Secret RF treatment is completed in less than 30 minutes.

RF Microneedling Recovery

No downtime is required after RF Microneedling, but there are some critical steps Dr. Hankins will recommend to ensure a smooth recovery on your road to achieving bright and healthy skin. Ice packs can be applied for any areas that feel swollen or irritated after the treatment. Avoid makeup and other chemical-based products on your skin for 24 hours.

It is essential to wear SPF for several weeks after your treatment. Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun during this time. Using a gentle cleanser at home is advised to keep the skin clean without harsh chemicals.
