Secret RF - fractional radiofrequency microneedling
Secret RF is an advanced fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment designed to remodel collagen, improve skin texture and restore firmness with precision. Unlike standard microneedling, Secret RF delivers controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the skin through fine, insulated needles, creating a powerful rejuvenation response while maintaining minimal downtime. At The Adare Clinic, treatments are performed by trained medical professionals, ensuring a safe, tailored and results-driven experience.
What We Treat
Secret RF is effective for improving fine lines, early signs of ageing, acne scarring, textural irregularities, enlarged pores, mild to moderate skin laxity, uneven texture and a general loss of radiance and firmness. Treatment is tailored to your skin’s needs by adjusting the needle depth, energy level and technique to achieve optimal results.
Expected Results
Improvements develop gradually over 4–12 weeks as new collagen forms. Most patients notice smoother, firmer skin, softer lines, improved texture, reduced acne scarring, tighter-looking pores and an overall rejuvenated appearance. For the most transformative results, a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended.
Medical Safety
Secret RF is a medical-grade device and should only be performed by trained professionals.
Your doctor selects the appropriate needle depth and RF energy level based on your skin type and goals. We do not treat during active acne flares, sunburn, pregnancy, or immediately following strong exfoliating treatments to ensure safety.
what to expect during your treatment
assessment
Your appointment begins with a detailed skin assessment. Your doctor reviews concerns such as scarring, texture, fine lines and skin laxity, and evaluates your suitability for fractional RF. We also review your medical history, current skincare routine and any previous treatments to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
the treatment
A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The Secret RF handpiece then delivers a series of controlled micro-penetrations into the skin, followed by precise bursts of radiofrequency energy. This dual action creates microchannels to stimulate collagen, delivers heat to deeper layers for tightening and remodelling and improves texture and scarring more effectively than standard microneedlin
recovery & aftercare
After treatment, the skin may appear red and feel warm for several hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Over the following days, you may experience slight dryness or flaking. Your doctor will recommend specific aftercare products to support healing and enhance results, as well as guidance on makeup use, exercise, and sun protection. Downtime is typically minimal compared to more aggressive resurfacing treatments.
