Clear, smooth skin marks the difference between having a dull-looking complexion and a healthy, glowing appearance. Using the skin’s natural healing process to renew and revitalize the skin with minimal downtime is one way to achieve this.
At Spring Street Dermatology in New York City, our goal is to create a high-quality skincare experience that is personalized and effective. One of our cosmetic procedures is the Secret RF – a skin resurfacing technology that utilizes microneedling and controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to rebuild and revitalize the skin.
This innovative device effectively remodels collagen at a cellular level to improve wrinkles and diminish scars while leaving the skin’s outer layer intact. At our NYC skin care clinic we also offer other microneedling devices for skin tightening such as Vivace RF.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses the collagen stimulation process to rejuvenate the skin for a natural enhancement. Instead of removing layers of skin with lasers or chemicals, it creates micro-injuries in the skin using an instrument containing dozens of fine, short needles.
While these “injuries” are invisible to the naked eye, they trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating your skin to produce new collagen and elastin. In effect, the process regenerates new, healthier skin cells that result in refreshed and rejuvenated skin.

What is Secret RF?
Secret RF takes microneedling to a new level by combining the microneedling treatment with fractional RF to boost the rejuvenation process. Secret RF delivers RF energy into various skin levels via the microneedles, including the deeper layers where treatment is most beneficial. This unique energy delivery allows for optimal results as it promotes rapid cell generation without damaging the skin’s outer layers. The precisely controlled RF energy, therefore, provides for a quick treatment with little to no downtime.

Secret RF Questions & Answers
Q: Are there any possible side effects from Secret RF?
A: Secret RF’s side effects are typically both mild and temporary. Patients may notice some redness and swelling, which could persist for a day or two. Patients must protect treated skin from direct sun exposure to prevent potential damage from occurring.
Q: How long will my results last?
A: Collagen remodeling takes time. Secret RF results are seen after 4-6 weeks but continue to develop for up to four months after each treatment. Depending on the patient’s skin condition, a Secret RF Microneedling treatment can last from a few months to two years. We recommend touch-up procedures to maintain your rejuvenated appearance.
Q: Does a Secret RF treatment hurt?
A: The treatment is well-tolerated by most patients. Before the procedure, we will apply topical numbing cream to the treatment area for increased comfort. You will feel pressure and heat in the treatment area during the process. Rest assured, we’ll help maximize your comfort throughout your treatment.
Q: What is recovery from a Secret RF treatment like?
A: There will be little or no downtime after a Secret RF procedure. After treatment, you should be able to resume your normal activities the same day or the next day. You might experience some mild skin swelling and redness for a day or two, but these side effects should not keep you from your daily schedule. You may also wear makeup to cover any lingering redness.

Botox
Frowning, squinting, and smiling leave behind fine lines and wrinkles over time. Neuromodulators can be injected directly with a tiny needle into the muscles responsible and work by reducing crease-causing contractions.
Dermal Fillers
As we mature, loss of volume leads to wrinkles, prominent nasolabial folds, thinned lips, exaggerated jowls, and marionette lines. The natural deterioration of underlying bone and soft tissue leaves a hollowed, aged appearance. Fillers injected below the skin surface can correct age-related volume loss.
LaseMD
LaseMD is a fractional laser treatment that can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns. The new and improved LaseMD is a non-ablative fractional laser for rejuvenation and pigmentation from Lutronic.
