The treatment

What is Secret RF?

Secret RF is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling device. Although many people call it a laser, it does not use laser light; instead, very fine needles penetrate the skin to a chosen depth and release radiofrequency energy. This creates tiny controlled zones of heat that trigger collagen remodelling while leaving the surrounding skin intact, which helps recovery.

Because the needles deliver heat beneath the surface, Secret RF can treat deeper scars and pores with less risk of surface damage than many resurfacing lasers. It sits within our acne scar treatments and is similar in concept to Potenza and other RF microneedling devices.

Who is a good candidate for Secret RF?

  • Acne scars, especially rolling or shallow boxcar scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Rough or uneven skin texture
  • Fine lines and mild laxity
  • Skin types that prefer a lower risk of pigmentation than ablative lasers

Secret RF should wait during pregnancy, with active acne flares, infection or cold sores in the area, or while taking isotretinoin unless the doctor advises otherwise. People with a pacemaker or a tendency to keloid scars should mention it at consultation, and the doctor may suggest a different option.

Recovery

What are the results and recovery like?

Redness, warmth and tiny marks are normal straight after treatment and usually settle within two to three days, with some mild swelling or dryness. Make-up can generally be worn after a day or so. Texture often looks smoother within a few weeks, while scars continue to improve over the following months as new collagen forms. Most scar plans involve a course of sessions, and results vary depending on scar type and depth.

Step by step

How the treatment works

  1. Consultation

    The doctor assesses scar type, pore size and skin tone, then sets the needle depth and energy.

  2. Numbing

    Numbing cream is applied for comfort.

  3. RF microneedling

    The Secret handpiece is passed over the treatment areas, delivering RF energy through the microneedles.

  4. Aftercare

    Use gentle skincare and sunscreen, avoid make-up for about a day, and skip saunas and alcohol for a few days.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Secret a laser?

No. Despite the name, Secret is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling device that uses needles and RF heat rather than laser light.

Does Secret RF hurt?

Numbing cream is used, so most people feel prickling and warmth rather than sharp pain.

What is the downtime after Secret RF?

Redness and small marks usually fade within two to three days, and most people return to normal activities the next day.

How many Secret RF sessions do I need for acne scars?

Most scar plans use about three sessions spaced around four weeks apart, though deeper scars may need more.

Is Secret RF safe for darker skin?

Because the energy is delivered below the surface, RF microneedling is often considered for darker skin, but the doctor will check your skin and adjust settings.

How much does Secret RF cost in Seoul?

The price depends on the area and the number of sessions, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. See related options on the acne scar and pore price list.
