Secret™ RF Microneedling In Needham, MA
RF Microneedling Treatment
Secret™ RF Microneedling at WAVE Medical Aesthetics
Secret™ RF is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling system by Cutera that combines the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling with the deeper tissue remodeling of radiofrequency energy — delivering more significant and longer-lasting results than traditional microneedling alone.
The Secret™ RF handpiece features two interchangeable tips — 25 and 64 pins — that deliver precisely controlled RF energy at adjustable depths within the dermis. This allows treatment to be customized to your skin type, concerns, and tolerance, targeting collagen remodeling at the level where it has the most impact. The result is progressive improvement in skin tone, texture, firmness, and the appearance of scars and pores — with minimal downtime.
A series of 3–6 treatments is recommended for optimal results, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. Improvement continues to develop over the weeks and months following each session as collagen remodeling progresses.
After treatment, mild redness and sensitivity are expected and typically resolve within 24–48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, active skincare ingredients (retinoids, acids), and prolonged sun exposure for several days following each session. SPF is essential throughout your treatment series.

Secret™ RF Microneedling Results
Most patients benefit from a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Because results are driven by collagen remodeling — a gradual biological process — improvement continues to develop over the weeks and months following each session, with the most significant changes visible 3–6 months after completing your series.
After treatment, mild redness and skin sensitivity are expected and typically resolve within 24–48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, retinoids, exfoliating acids, and prolonged sun exposure for several days following each session. Temporary darkening or bronzing of the skin surface can occur as the treated tissue turns over — this is a normal part of the healing process and resolves on its own.
Searching For Smoother Skin?
Over time, the skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity — leading to fine lines, laxity, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Secret™ RF Microneedling by Cutera addresses these concerns at their source, delivering radiofrequency energy at precise depths within the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling and tissue tightening where it matters most.
Unlike traditional microneedling, the addition of RF energy drives deeper, more significant improvement in skin firmness and texture — with progressive results that continue to develop over the months following treatment.

Faqs
What does Secret™ RF microneedling do?
Secret™ RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the dermis. This improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture — with progressive results that continue to develop over several months following each session.
Will Secret™ RF microneedling effect my dermal filler?
When performed correctly, Secret™ RF does not affect properly placed dermal fillers. The treatment stimulates collagen at the dermal level without disrupting filler placement, and patients can safely undergo both treatments as part of a comprehensive aesthetic plan.
How long do Secret™ RF results last?
Results typically last 1–2 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and home care routine. Collagen remodeling continues to improve skin texture in the months following treatment, and periodic maintenance sessions help sustain long-term results.
How many sessions of Secret™ RF microneedling are needed?
Most patients benefit from a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and goals, and a personalized plan will be outlined during your consultation.
Who is a good candidate for Secret™ RF?
Good candidates include patients with fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, or mild skin laxity who are looking for meaningful improvement without significant downtime. A consultation at WAVE Medical Aesthetics will determine whether Secret™ RF is the right fit for your concerns and skin type.
