Secret RF Microneedling
Secret RF Microneedling is one of the most advanced methods to rejuvenate your skin from within.
It is a minimally invasive treatment that combines traditional microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy (RF). This dual action improves skin texture, tightens loose skin, and stimulates natural collagen production.
By promoting collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin, Secret RF gives you firmer, plumper and more youthful skin with minimal downtime.
At Time Clinic, our doctor-led team develops personalised treatment plans tailored to your skin type and skin concerns. Our goal is to help you see visible, long-lasting results.
What is Secret RF Microneedling?
If you want an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that will improve your skin quality and skin health, Secret RF microneedling is an ideal option.
It uses tiny needles to create controlled and precise micro-injuries to the surface of the skin. At the same time, the ultra-fine needles also deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper dermal layers
This dual action stimulates the body’s natural healing process, encouraging fresh collagen and elastin to form, which remodels and strengthens the skin.
The result is a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion.
Unlike traditional microneedling treatment, Secret RF reaches the deeper layers of the skin to trigger the body’s healing response while also converting radiofrequency (RF energy) into heat. As a result, this treatment offers maximum skin tightening and skin rejuvenation benefits.
At Time Clinic, we recommend Secret RF because we can fully customise the needle depth and radiofrequency intensity.
This means we can tailor the treatment to all different skin types and to treat a wide range of skin concerns, such as fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne scars.
The benefits of Secret RF Microneedling
The Secret RF microneedling procedure can help completely transform your skin from within.
The key benefits of Secret RF include:
- Skin tightening – the RF energy helps to remodel collagen in the deep layers of the skin, which helps to firm the skin and improve skin laxity.
- Improved skin texture – it smooths out an uneven skin texture, softens rough patches of skin and enhances your overall skin tone
- Reduces scarring – Secret RF helps to break down scar tissue including acne scarring and stretch marks. It also helps encourage healthier skin regeneration.
- Stimulates collagen and elastin – this means improvements in long-term skin health and skin quality
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles – new collagen and elastin help to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful appearance
- Minimise large pores – Secret RF can refine enlarged pores as new collagen firms and plumps the skin around the pores making them appear smaller.
- Minimal downtime – most patients return to their normal activities shortly after treatment
Secret RF microneedling is a versatile treatment that we can use to treat different areas of the face and body, including the forehead, around the eyes, jawline, neck, chest and hands.
What skin concerns can Secret RF Microneedling address?
Secret RF is a great all-round treatment for targeting and improving multiple skin concerns, including:
- Skin laxity and loss of firmness
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other types of scarring such as surgical scars
- Uneven skin texture or textured skin
- Stretch marks
- Uneven skin tone including pigmentation issues such as age spots or sun spots
- Dull skin or tired-looking skin
At Time Clinic, we use Secret RF on women and men. We work with our patients to tailor the treatment to your skin type, skin issues, and treatment area.
The Secret RF Microneedling treatment journey at Time Clinic
Your personalised consultation
The first step in your treatment journey is to sit down and have a detailed consultation with one of our trained practitioners.
During this appointment, they will assess your skin, talk to you about your skin issues, and review your medical history.
We take the time to understand your needs and aesthetic goals, so that we can design a bespoke treatment plan that will deliver remarkable results.
The Secret RF procedure
On the day of your Secret RF microneedling treatment, your practitioner will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area first. This will ensure you feel comfortable throughout.
Once the skin is ready, we will pass the Secret RF device gently across the treatment area. The tiny needles will create microchannels in the skin, while also delivering the RF energy to the deeper layers.
The whole treatment process should take around 30-60 minutes to complete. This will depend on the area being treated and what skin concerns you are looking to address.
Comfort and expertise
We understand that you want to feel comfortable and confident during your microneedling treatment.
At Time Clinic, you will be in the hands of medical practitioners who have years of training and experience in skin rejuvenation treatments.
We tailor the needle depth and RF energy intensity to your skin type and skin concerns. This ensures we deliver a safe, highly effective treatment that will provide optimal results.
What to expect after your Secret RF Microneedling treatment
Immediately after Secret RF
After your microneedling treatment, you may see some mild redness and slight swelling in the treated area. This will feel similar to light sunburn.
This is completely normal, and your skin will return to normal within 24-72 hours.
Gradual improvements to your skin
You will begin to see improvements in your skin tone and skin texture two weeks after your treatment.
As new collagen and elastin production starts, your skin will continue to improve over the next few weeks and months.
You can expect firmer skin, a smoother skin texture, and less visible scarring.
Side effects
With Secret RF treatment, the side effects are minimal. You may experience some mild redness, swelling and skin sensitivity in the treatment area.
Secret RF aftercare advice
To support skin healing and ensure you achieve optimal results, we recommend that you:
- Avoid touching your face or wearing make up for 24 hours
- Keep your skin hydrated
- Avoid direct sun exposure, hot showers and excessive heat for 72 hours
- Avoid any active skin ingredients such as retinol for first 5-7 days
- From day 2 you can use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser that focuses on skin hydration and barrier health.
- Always wear SPF daily (at least factor 30)
Follow-up appointments
To ensure you see optimal results, we usually recommend a course of 3-4 Secret RF microneedling treatments. These will be spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
We also recommend that you have a top-up treatment every 12 months to ensure your skin stays looking radiant and youthful.

Frequently asked questions
How does Secret RF Microneedling work?
Secret RF combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and remodel the skin at deeper levels.
How is Secret RF different from traditional microneedling?
Unlike other devices which only deposit energy in the upper layer of the skin, Secret RF delivers RF energy below the surface where it’s needed most to help revitalize and regenerate the skin tissue.
This unique delivery of energy allows us to achieve optimal results with little to no downtime on all skin types.
Is Secret RF microneedling suitable for all skin types?
Yes, it is safe for all skin types, and we can customise the treatment to your individual needs.
How many Secret RF treatments will I need?
Patients typically need 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
Many patients see a visible improvement in their skin after their second treatment. The final results typically appear around three months after the last treatment.
Is Secret RF treatment painful?
Secret RF microneedling is well tolerated by most patients. To help you feel more comfortable through your treatment, we will apply a topical numbing cream first.
Are there any side effects with Secret RF?
It is normal for patients to experience some mild redness, swelling and sensitivity for the first 72 hours. This will go down, and we provide you with aftercare advice to help you support skin healing.
How long do results last from Secret RF microneedling?
Results will vary from person to person. Results are typically long-lasting, especially when you support your skin with regular maintenance treatments every 12-18 months.
Is there any downtime with Secret RF?
Secret RF treatment requires very little downtime. Most patients return to work and their normal activities straight after their treatment.

- Stop blood thinning medication such as aspirin a week before
- Avoid any tanning or waxing in the treatment area for 14 days
- Do not drink alcohol 24 hours before your appointment to avoid bruising
- Arrive at your appointment with clean, fresh skin
