SECRET RF SKIN NEEDLING BRISBANE MILTON

Secret RF combines fine microneedles with radiofrequency energy delivered into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen. Over a course of treatments it may soften the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, enlarged pores and fine lines. Scars can be improved but not erased, and results vary from person to person.

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Timely Scheduling

Plan your appointment at least 1-2 weeks before a special occasion, like a wedding or vacation, to mitigate the risk of bruising and swelling after the treatment.

Medicines and supplements

Please tell us about all medicines and supplements you take when you book.

Medication Caution

If anything you take may increase your risk of bruising or bleeding, we will discuss it with you at your consultation – never stop a prescribed medicine without first speaking to your doctor.

Rescheduling for Illness

Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you feel unwell or have an active infection in the treatment area.

Pre-Treatment Precautions

Refrain from waxing or using chemical depilatories for two weeks before and after treatment.

Tell us about all medicines and supplements you take – never stop a prescribed medicine without first speaking to your doctor.

Steer clear of vigorous physical activity and excessive alcohol intake 24 hours before your treatment to minimise the risk of bruising.

Post Treatment Care

SUN EXPOSURE

Your skin will be sensitive to the sun for several weeks after Secret RF Skin Needling. To prevent adverse effects, avoid sun exposure on the day of your treatment as sunscreen will not be applied. You can resume sunscreen use 24 hours after the procedure. It’s recommended to continue minimising sun exposure for 72 hours post-procedure to prevent unwanted pigmentation and sun damage.

Skincare with active ingredients

Skin needling leaves your skin in a highly sensitive state. Avoid skincare products containing active ingredients such as retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, and vitamin C for five days post-treatment. Incorporating these products back into your routine too soon may cause irritation.

Makeup and sweating

Refrain from applying makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment (Dermaceutic K Ceutic recovery cream) to allow your skin barrier to heal and reduce the risk of infection. Skin needling induces heat in the skin during the natural healing process. Avoid sweating and activities that generate heat in the skin for 24 hours as it can exacerbate redness, increase the risk of infection, and lead to adverse skin reactions.

Avoid

Please let us know if you have had, or are planning, any other in-clinic cosmetic procedures, including injectable treatments, within two weeks of your appointment so we can plan timing safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TREATMENT ON THE DAY?

Come to your appointment without makeup. Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise, consuming alcohol, or smoking on the day of your appointment. If you’re feeling unwell, consider rescheduling. Prior to your appointment, have a meal and stay hydrated to reduce the likelihood of experiencing light-headedness or dizziness during your treatment.

AM I SUITABLE TO RECEIVE THIS TREATMENT?

You may not be a suitable candidate for Secret RF Skin Needling treatments if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have open sores, irritated skin, allergies to stainless steel, a bleeding disorder, or currently taking oral isotretinoin (a prescription acne medicine). Please inform the clinic if any of these conditions apply to you.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT POST TREATMENT?

Day 1:

  • Expect mild redness and swelling, resembling sunburn.
  • Apply LIFT HG as needed.
  • Avoid washing or using products for 24 hours.

  • Acne scars
  • Other facial or body scars
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Visible improvements are typically noticeable within the first month following the procedure, with optimal results becoming evident around the three-month mark post-treatment.

HOW LONG WILL MY RESULTS LAST?

To achieve optimal results, it is advisable to undergo 3 initial treatment sessions spaced every 4-6 weeks. Following this, a single maintenance treatment every 6 months is recommended to sustain the results.

WHAT IS SECRET RF SKIN NEEDLING?


Secret RF skin needling is the cutting-edge microneedling device that integrates radiofrequency energy. Unlike traditional ‘cold’ microneedling, radiofrequency introduces controlled heating, substantially enhancing collagen stimulation and surpassing the effectiveness of microneedles alone by 10 times.

Every aspect of the treatment is customizable to cater to the patient’s needs, including penetration depth, area coverage, and intensity. This approach ensures outstanding outcomes while minimising the necessary recovery period.

WHAT SETS RF NEEDLING APART FROM LASER TREATMENTS??

Think of radiofrequency (RF) as the complement to lasers within the treatment spectrum. Laser procedures work from the skin’s surface towards its deeper layers, while radiofrequency functions from the interior outward. This crucial difference provides a notable advantage: less downtime and faster recovery compared to lasers.

While lasers are efficient in treating superficial acne scars and pigment-related issues, RF energy is especially well-suited for addressing deeper scars, such as rolling atrophic scarring.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM SECRET RF SKIN NEEDLING?

Expect redness and mild swelling for one to three days, and sometimes small grid marks, dryness or flaking for up to a week. Most people return to work within a day or two; your clinician will give you written aftercare.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR BEST RESULTS?

For optimal results, it is generally recommended to undergo a series of three sessions spaced apart with intervals ranging from 4 to 12 weeks. In cases of severe or persistent acne scarring, additional sessions (1 to 3) may be necessary.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS?

RF and microneedling: Common, temporary effects include redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, bruising, dryness, flaking and tenderness for several days. Less commonly, infection, cold sore flare-ups, acne-like breakouts, burns, changes in skin colour (darkening or lightening) and scarring can occur.

Your clinician will discuss your individual risks, how to care for your skin afterwards and when to contact us at your consultation.

WHAT PRODUCTS AND DEVICES DO YOU USE?

We use devices and professional skincare sourced through authorised Australian suppliers, and devices are included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) where required. Your clinician will explain the products and devices that are relevant to your treatment plan, including their risks, during your consultation.

WHAT DOES TREATMENT COST?

Your clinician will give you a written treatment plan with the full cost of your recommended course at your consultation, before you book any treatment. Accepted payment methods are listed at checkout and in clinic.
