RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING TECHNOLOGY
How Does (RF) Micro-Needling Work?
The RF energy heats the underlying layers of skin, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster results that are more dramatic.
RF Microneedling uses a gold plated needle device which gently penetrates the skin to deliver radio-frequency deep into the dermal layers of the skin. The radio frequency heats at depths that provide cumulative and ongoing benefits of collagen stimulation, skin tightening, and resurfacing.

Benefits of RF MicroNeedling
Micro-needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment that has been used for decades to rejuvenate the skin. A device with fine needles or pins creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as skin resurfacing. RF micro-needling adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional micro-needling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles into the dermis. In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the traditional microneedles, RF micro-needling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction.
Microneedling and Radio Frequency is used to reduce and improve wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars and generally improve the tone and texture on the skin. Results can include smoother, tighter, more radiant skin. Radio frequency has long been used and is a proven technology. Radio frequency helps stimulate the body’s own natural healing processes and stimulates collagen fibers.

Does it hurt?
A topical anesthetic is applied the area to be treated to make the procedure more comfortable about 20 minutes before the procedure begin.
What are the risks?
immediately after treatment, there may be some pinpoint bleeding and sometimes swelling, which can be minimized with cooling packs after treatment.
Infections are rare and, can be minimized by proper aftercare treatment.
Changes in skin pigment may occur. This may be minimized by avoiding picking at the skin and excessive sun exposure after treatment.
Redness is variable from patient to patient and usually settles in 12-24 hours.
Small marks may persist for a few days and dryness of the skin for 3-7 days.
Flaking of the skin may occur.
What is the down time like?
Downtime is minimal. You may return to your normal routine post treatment. A mild sunburn feeling is common. After treatment the skin may look a little flushed for a short period of time. You must avoid the sun and wear a stand alone 30 SPF sunblock at all times. There is a relatively easy recovery and low risk associated with this procedure. We always encourage you to plan accordingly as some clients experience a greater reaction.
How many session of treatment I need?
Please note that 3 to 6 sessions (depending on cases) per year are recommended for obtaining optimal visible results. The gap between each treatment recommended is about 4-6 weeks.
What should I do after treatment to get the best results?
Home care is an important role in reducing recovery time. Keep the area clean even from make-up following the initial treatment session. We will provide you with moisturizing instructions.
When should I start seeing results?
It takes some time for your body to produce collagen about 1 – 4 weeks, the tightening effect and final result are going to appear gradually over 3-6 months. Most will see improvement several weeks after the treatment, but the full results will likely take months to be fully realized.
How long will the results last?
The durability of the results will depend on a number of factors including the age of the patient but most will require a touch-up procedure or two after 1 year after a treatment.
What is the after care?
Avoid scrubbing the injection sites for at least 4 hours. However, mineral based makeup may be applied immediately after, if desired. Starting on the evening of the treatment and for the next several days; wash your face gently with a mild cleanser once to twice daily.
Course of treatment
It is important to note that for most treatments, the final results are visible around 2 weeks post-procedure. Meaning, we encourage you to remain patient during this time before making a final judgment.
That being said, each body is unique and, therefore, the biological PH balance and metabolic rate vary between clients. Results cannot be compared, predicted, or guaranteed. Should you need any follow-up appointments or have questions, please contact Dr.JD’s assistant at info@drjd.co.uk.

Secret RF uses microneedles to deliver radio frequency energy into varying levels of the skin including the deeper layers where treatment is most beneficial. Unlike other devices which only deposit energy in upper layer of the skin, Secret RF de-livers RF energy below the surface where it’s needed most to help revitalize and regenerate the tissue. This unique delivery of energy allows us to achieve optimal results with little to no downtime on all skin types.
