For many years, effectively reversing the signs of aging on your skin, especially sagging skin, meant invasive surgeries and long recovery times.
Among the many nonsurgical alternatives available now, however, few have proven as effective as Secret™ RF microneedling. This inventive treatment combines tiny, precise needle pricks with radiofrequency energy to naturally revitalize your skin by encouraging collagen and elastin production.
At Advanced Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology Center PA in San Antonio and Schertz, Texas, Dr. Patricia Gomez-Dinger specializes in providing this advanced treatment.
It’s a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgeries for anyone looking to smooth out their wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, or just improve their skin’s overall appearance. Here, she explains the science behind the procedure and the immense benefits it offers.
What is Secret™ RF microneedling?
Secret™ RF microneedling is a relatively new skin care procedure that restores aging skin by combining traditional microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy, two popular aesthetic treatments.
The microneedling aspect creates tiny punctures in the top layer of your skin with small needles. These micro-tears stimulate your body’s natural healing process, encouraging it to produce collagen and elastin, which your skin needs to stay elastic and youthful.
As the microneedles penetrate your skin, they also emit RF energy. This energy travels deeper into your dermal layers, heating the tissues and stimulating even more collagen production. The heat also helps to tighten your collagen fibers, allowing for firmer, smoother skin.
The combination of microneedling and RF energy makes this treatment exceptionally effective. It addresses surface issues like fine lines and wrinkles and works deeper to improve your skin’s firmness and texture.
Secret™ RF microneedling is also versatile and can be used on various body parts, including your face, neck, and stomach.
Benefits of Secret™ RF microneedling
You don’t have to go under the knife to improve the appearance of your skin. With Secret™ RF, Microneedling, you can do so pain-free and with minimal downtime. Here are some of the most appealing benefits:
Improved skin texture and tone
Secret™ RF microneedling effectively smooths out your skin, reducing the appearance of scars, including those from acne, fine lines, and wrinkles. It also helps to even out skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation.
Tighter and firmer skin
As the radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of your skin, it causes your collagen fibers to tighten and stimulates the production of new fibers. Both actions create visibly firmer and more youthful-looking skin over time.
Minimal downtime
One of the most significant advantages of Secret™ RF microneedling is that it requires minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their regular routines almost immediately.
Safe for all skin types
Dr. Gomez-Dinger can adjust the intensity of the RF energy to make the treatment safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, which are sometimes at risk of hyperpigmentation with other types of skin revitalization procedures.
Versatile
While the face is the most common area for treatment, Secret™ RF microneedling can also prove effective on the neck, chest, hands, and other areas that show signs of aging.
Cosmetic surgeries have many drawbacks, from prolonged recovery times to invasive techniques. With Secret™ RF microneedling, you can significantly improve the appearance with minimal risk and downtime.
