What is RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel collagen and improve skin texture. During this procedure, tiny, gold-plated microneedles penetrate the skin to deliver RF energy at precise depths, gently heating the deeper layers of the skin and triggering your body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which tighten, smooth, and revitalize the skin from the inside out.

Unlike surface-level skin rejuvenation treatments, RF microneedling targets multiple layers of the skin without damaging the outer surface. It’s safe for all skin types and ideal for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, scars, large pores, and laxity. The results are gradual and long-lasting, making it a popular choice for non-surgical skin rejuvenation.

What Is Secret RF?

Secret RF is an advanced microneedling device that combines fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedles to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. Unlike traditional microneedling, Secret RF allows precise control over needle depth and energy delivery, making it highly customizable for different skin concerns and areas of the body. It effectively improves fine lines, scars, skin laxity, and texture with minimal downtime. If you’re looking for RF microneedling in Tysons Corner or Fairfax, Secret RF offers a powerful solution for long-lasting, natural-looking skin rejuvenation tailored to your needs.

Secret RF Microneedling without PRP

This treatment uses the Secret RF device alone to deliver radiofrequency energy through gold-plated microneedles deep into the skin. It effectively stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce fine lines, scars, skin laxity, and uneven texture. With precise depth control, this option is ideal for those seeking a powerful, non-surgical solution to refresh and tighten their skin using technology alone. No additional biological additives are involved.

Secret RF Microneedling with PRP

This enhanced version of the treatment combines Secret RF microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. After drawing a small sample of your blood, we isolate the growth factor-rich plasma and apply it to your skin after RF microneedling. The PRP penetrates through the microchannels created by the needles, accelerating healing, boosting collagen production, and improving overall results. If you’re considering PRP microneedling in Tysons Corner or Fairfax, this advanced combination therapy with RF offers faster recovery and more noticeable rejuvenation.

How Does the RF Microneedling Procedure Work?

During RF microneedling, your provider will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. Once the area is fully numbed, the Secret RF handpiece is passed over your skin. Tiny, gold-coated microneedles penetrate the surface, creating micro-injuries while delivering radiofrequency energy into the deeper dermal layers. This combination stimulates your body’s natural healing response and promotes collagen remodeling.

You may feel a slight pressure or warm sensation during the treatment, but most patients tolerate it well. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Afterward, your skin may appear red or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours. There’s no significant downtime, so you can resume most daily activities immediately. The results will appear gradually over several weeks.

Microneedling FAQs

How long is the recovery time?

RF microneedling requires minimal downtime. After the procedure, your skin may appear red, feel tight, or be slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within 24 to 48 hours. You can return to your normal daily routine immediately, but you should avoid makeup, strenuous activity, and sun exposure for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

For optimal results, most patients need a series of three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. This allows your skin to heal and build collagen between sessions. Depending on your skin condition and goals, your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan. Maintenance treatments every 12 to 18 months can help you sustain your results long-term.

When will I see the results?

You may start noticing subtle improvements in skin tone and texture within a few weeks of your first session. However, collagen remodeling is a gradual process, so the most noticeable results typically appear about three months after your final treatment. Your skin will continue to improve over time, revealing a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.
