The Secret™ RF device is a fractional radio frequency microneedling system designed to stimulate and remodel collagen. The Secret can deliver radio frequency energy to various depths. Due to its adjustable needle length, this gives our practice the ability to treat the face and body. It is ideally suited for patients who wish to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, pore size, stretch marks and skin laxity.
