Radiofrequency Microneedling (Secret PRO)

Deep Dermal Remodelling Without Surface Resurfacing

RF microneedling combines ultra‑fine, sterile needles with radiofrequency (heat) energy to stimulate collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin. At Cosmetica London, this treatment is performed using the Secret PRO platform, which allows precise control over needle depth and energy delivery for predictable, targeted dermal remodelling.

It is an effective option when skin quality, firmness and texture need support, without the downtime associated with surface resurfacing.

How RF Microneedling Works

During treatment, tiny needles create controlled micro‑channels in the skin while radiofrequency energy gently warms the dermis. This combination triggers collagen contraction and new collagen formation, improving firmness and texture with minimal disruption to the skin’s surface.

Because the epidermis remains largely intact, downtime is typically short, making RF Microneedling suitable for patients seeking structural improvement without visible peeling.

What RF Microneedling Is Best Used For

RF microneedling may be selected to support:

  • Skin laxity and reduced firmness
  • Acne scarring
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven or rough texture
  • Early signs of ageing

It is often chosen when deeper dermal support is required, but resurfacing is not appropriate or not desired.

What Treatment Involves

  • Treatment time: approximately 45 minutes
  • Topical numbing is applied for comfort
  • Mild redness or swelling may occur
  • Downtime is usually minimal (1–3 days)

Results develop gradually as new collagen forms over the following weeks.

When RF Microneedling May Not Be the Right Choice

RF microneedling may not be suitable for:

  • Active inflammatory skin conditions
  • Certain implanted medical devices
  • Advanced skin laxity where surgical intervention is more appropriate

Your practitioner will assess suitability during consultation.

How RF Microneedling Differs from Standard Microneedling (SkinPen)

RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy into the dermis, allowing deeper collagen stimulation and tissue tightening. SkinPen microneedling focuses on controlled micro‑injury at the surface level to improve texture, pores and overall skin quality. Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate option depending on whether surface rejuvenation or deeper structural support is required.

How This Fits Into Our Condition‑Led Approach

At Cosmetica London, RF microneedling is selected when the goal is collagen stimulation and dermal support, rather than surface resurfacing. It is frequently used as part of a broader plan to improve skin quality, firmness and texture.
