Reveal Smoother, Firmer, Healthier Skin with Secret RF

Secret RF microneedling is one of the most versatile non-surgical treatments available for improving skin texture, reducing scars, and tightening lax skin. By combining traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, Secret RF stimulates collagen and elastin production while gently remodeling tissue beneath the surface.

At Skinly Aesthetics on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, board-certified physician Dr. Dmitriy Schwarzburg customizes every Secret RF treatment to your unique concerns—whether you want to smooth acne scars, soften fine lines, or restore youthful firmness without surgery or downtime.

What Is Secret RF Microneedling?

Secret RF is a next-generation microneedling device that uses gold-plated micro-needles to deliver RF energy directly into the dermis. This dual action:

  • Creates micro-channels that trigger natural collagen repair.
  • Heats tissue below the skin’s surface, stimulating deep remodeling and contraction.

The result is not just improved surface texture, but also firmer, tighter skin with better tone and elasticity.

Key Benefits of Secret RF

  • Improves acne scars and surgical scars
  • Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
  • Tightens loose or crepey skin on face, neck, and body
  • Minimizes enlarged pores
  • Reduces stretch marks
  • Enhances skin tone and elasticity
  • Delivers long-lasting collagen remodeling with minimal downtime

Secret RF vs. Other RF Microneedling Devices

Skinly Aesthetics offers a full range of RF microneedling technologies. Each has its strengths, and Secret RF sits at the crossroads of versatility and effectiveness:

  • Secret RF – Ideal for scars, fine lines, overall rejuvenation, and mild to moderate skin tightening. Adjustable needle depths allow precise treatment for both texture and firmness.
  • Morpheus8 RF – Penetrates deeper into the dermis and subdermal layers, making it the best choice for significant skin laxity, jawline contouring, and body tightening.
  • Agnes RF – Specializes in localized fat reduction (under chin, eye bags, jowls) while tightening the surrounding skin.

By offering all three, Dr. Schwarzburg ensures each patient receives the device best suited to their anatomy and goals.

Before & After Results

Visual proof is one of the most powerful ways to understand the impact of Secret RF.

👉 Patients typically notice smoother skin within weeks, with tightening and scar reduction improving for 3–6 months as new collagen forms.

FAQs

How is Secret RF different from regular microneedling?

Unlike traditional microneedling, Secret RF delivers radiofrequency energy into the dermis, which stimulates deeper collagen remodeling and tightening for more dramatic results.

Does Secret RF tighten skin as well as improve texture?

Yes. With adjustable needle depths and RF energy delivery, Secret RF can both smooth scars and fine lines and tighten mildly lax skin, making it highly versatile.

How many Secret RF sessions will I need?

Most patients see best results with 2–3 sessions spaced about one month apart. More severe scars or laxity may require additional treatments.

Is Secret RF painful?

With topical numbing cream, discomfort is minimal. Patients usually describe the sensation as warm, prickly, and tolerable.

How much does Secret RF cost in NYC?

Secret RF microneedling sessions at Skinly Aesthetics typically range from $700–$1,500 per session, depending on treatment area and intensity. Pricing is fully straightforward and personalized during your consultation.

What areas can Secret RF treat?

Common treatment areas include the face, jawline, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, and thighs.

When will I see results?

Initial improvements in tone and smoothness are visible within 1–2 weeks, with progressive tightening and scar improvement for 3–6 months as collagen builds.

Can Secret RF be combined with other treatments?

Yes. For enhanced results, Dr. Schwarzburg may combine Secret RF with Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatments, or Ellacor depending on your goals. This creates a comprehensive approach to rejuvenation.
