    Frequently asked questions

    How Does Secret RF Work?

    Secret RF Microneedling is an advanced skincare treatment combining microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dual-action approach rejuvenates the skin by creating controlled micro-injuries using ultra-fine, gold-coated needles. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production, while radiofrequency energy heats the deeper skin layers to enhance collagen production, fat remodeling and skin tightening.

    Key Features of Secret RF:

    • Equipped with 25-64 ultra-fine gold needles for maximum heat conductivity and reduced risk of skin burns.
    • Adjustable energy output up to 50W heating skin up to 60°C and needle depths from 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm to suit various skin types and concerns.
    • Reaches the Submuscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer, usually accessible only through surgical methods.

    What Are the Benefits of Secret RF?

    Secret RF Microneedling offers numerous benefits, making it an ideal choice for those seeking skin rejuvenation:

    Improves skin texture by smoothing rough patches and evens out tone and blemishes. By promoting collagen production, it addresses discolorations, and restores a healthy skin glow.

    Minimizes the appearance of acne scars, injuries, and surgical scars while targeting deeper layers to smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a youthful look.

    The combined power of microneedling and radiofrequency energy leads to radiant, refreshed and tighter skin stimulating the natural healing process to tighten skin and counter sagging.  Unlike more aggressive cosmetic treatments requiring extended recovery periods, Secret RF has minimal downtime with a quick return to daily activities.

    What Areas Can Secret RF Treat?

    The versatility of Secret RF Microneedling extends beyond facial rejuvenation. It is effective in treating various skin concerns across different body areas, including:

    Face: Reduces facial lines, deep acne scars, and enlarged pores, especially those resulting from cystic acne outbreaks. 

    Neck and Décolletage: Provides a solution for commonly neglected areas, remedying sun damage and skin laxity. It complements other treatments like CoolSculpting, Kybella, and Botox, addressing multifaceted issues related to neck aging and sagging.

    Body: Improves skin texture on arms, shoulders, back, and legs, and is also effective in addressing stretch marks, particularly post-pregnancy concerns.

    Given the intricate nature of the Secret RF Microneedling process and its versatility in treating various skin concerns, discussing your unique needs and goals with Dr. Schwarzburg at Skinly Aesthetics ensures expert guidance tailored to achieve optimal results.

    When Should I Avoid Secret RF?

    Secret RF Microneedling may not be suitable if you are prone to keloid scars, have active skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or cystic acne. Always consult with Dr. Schwarzburg to determine if this treatment is right for you.

    How Do I Prepare for Secret RF?

    To ensure the best results from your Secret RF Microneedling session, it is essential to prepare properly. Avoid aggressive exfoliants, tretinoin, or retinoids at least two weeks before your session. Additionally, minimize direct sun exposure and refrain from tanning (both natural and artificial) for at least two weeks before treatment to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.

    What to Expect During Your Secret RF Treatment?

    Embarking on a Secret RF treatment is a transformative experience. Upon arrival, a brief pre-treatment assessment is conducted to ensure no active infections or acne breakouts are present. The targeted area is then sanitized, and any makeup is removed. A 20% lidocaine cream is applied for 20-30 minutes to numb the area. For those sensitive to discomfort, ProNox, a nitrous oxide and oxygen mix, is available to further alleviate any unease. The Secret RF microneedling process typically takes 20-30 minutes, and you may experience a sensation of hot prickling during the procedure. After the treatment, patients receive ice packs and a special healing cream to apply over the next 5-7 days, promoting healing and hydration.

    What Is the Aftercare Following Secret RF?

    Proper aftercare is crucial to achieving the best outcomes from your Secret RF Microneedling procedure. Use ice packs as necessary to soothe the treated area and decrease swelling. Avoid strenuous activities such as going to the gym to reduce inflammation. The treated area will be more sensitive to heat, so avoid direct sunlight and excessive warmth for a few days. 

    Allow a 3-day recovery window when preparing for any social gatherings or special events. Makeup can be applied 24 hours after the procedure, but it is best to minimize makeup use until full recovery. Consistently apply the cream given by Dr. Schwarzburg and drink plenty of water to counter dryness post-treatment.

    What Are Risks and Complications of Secret RF?

    Common side effects include redness, swelling, and mild itching, which typically signal that the treatment is working. Minor bruising can occur if tiny blood vessels are punctured during the procedure. 

    Your skin may also display increased sensitivity to heat following the treatment, so avoiding direct sunlight and intense heat for a few days is recommended. A rare side effect is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that is easily mitigated with a custom ointment.

    When Will I See Results?

    Right after the procedure, there is an instant glow to the skin due to increased blood flow and the initiation of the skin’s healing process. Within a day or two, some patients report smoother skin texture. The radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen production, leading to an initial mild skin tightening effect even before the full benefits of collagen remodeling become visible. 

    Over time, the transformative power of Secret RF Microneedling extends well beyond the immediate results. Patients can expect a range of long-term benefits, including sustained collagen regeneration, texture refinement, tightening, and firmness.

    How Long Do Results Last?

    The longevity of your Secret RF Microneedling results depends on your commitment to ongoing skincare and maintenance. In addition to nourishing your body, staying hydrated, and using quality skincare products, regular follow-up sessions with Dr. Schwarzburg at Skinly Aesthetics are essential to sustain the collagen boost.

    How Many Sessions Will I Need?

    The frequency of Secret RF Microneedling sessions varies from person to person and depends on several factors. Dr. Schwarzburg tailors the treatment plan to meet individual goals and needs. If you have deep acne scars, a series of 3-4 sessions is often recommended to achieve optimal results. However, if your objective is to enhance overall skin quality or maintain a youthful glow, 1-3 sessions per year may suffice.

    Is Secret RF Safe?

    Secret RF Microneedling is FDA-approved, underscoring its safety and effectiveness in skin rejuvenation. The treatment’s technology is designed to deliver controlled thermal energy with precision, minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. Adjustable settings allow for a personalized approach, ensuring that the treatment meets individual patient needs while maintaining safety. 

    At Skinly Aesthetics, Dr. Schwarzburg administers Secret RF Microneedling with meticulous attention to safety protocols.

    Does Secret RF Hurt?

    Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Secret RF Microneedling, thanks to the topical numbing cream applied before the procedure. For those sensitive to discomfort, Dr. Schwarzburg offers ProNox, a nitrous oxide and oxygen mix, to further alleviate any unease. The sensation during the procedure is often described as a hot prickling feeling, which is generally well-tolerated.

    What Is the Cost of Secret RF?

    In New York City, the cost for a Secret RF Microneedling session ranges between $800 to $3000. This range is influenced by the size of the treatment area, the complexity of the skin issue, and the number of required sessions. Additionally, the expertise of the provider plays a crucial role. Board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons, with their in-depth understanding of skin anatomy, may charge higher fees compared to nurse practitioners or estheticians.

    What Other Treatments Complement Secret RF?

    Secret RF Microneedling is a cornerstone for skin rejuvenation, but pairing it with other treatments can elevate your results:

    Botox and Dysport target fine lines caused by muscle activity, diminishing wrinkle-causing muscle contractions and complementing RF microneedling’s surface-focused benefits.

    For pronounced skin sagging, Secret RF microneedling works best with a PDO thread lift. This non-surgical procedure lifts and rejuvenates sagging skin where RF microneedling may not suffice.

    Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane restore facial volume loss that Secret RF can’t address. For added definition, Radiesse contours the jawline, pairing well with microneedling’s tightening effects.Addressing superficial concerns like hyperpigmentation and sun spots, Fraxel and Pure Plasma refines the skin’s texture, bridging the depth gap RF microneedling might miss.

    Is Secret RF Worth It?

    Secret RF Microneedling offers significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance with minimal downtime, making it a highly valued treatment. The combination of microneedling and RF energy provides comprehensive skin rejuvenation, making it worth the investment for those seeking long-lasting, youthful skin.
