Secret RF is an easy, safe and effective procedure that can be performed in a quick, 15-minute treatment session. During the treatment, you will feel a slight heating and some pressure on the treatment area. For most patients, the treatment is tolerable but your physician will work with you to maximize your comfort level. Prior to the procedure, your provider will apply a numb- ing cream to the treatment area to increase comfort during the treatment.
After the treatment, an ointment will be applied to the skin and you will be asked to refrain from wearing makeup for several hours. Any minor redness or swelling resulting from treatment will subside within 12-24 hours. After the treatment, you can expect to return to normal activities.
Immediately post-treatment, apply gauze soaked in isotonic saline solution to the treatment area and let sit for 5-15 minutes.
After the saline solution soak, apply a post-procedure barrier ointment such as Vaseline, Aquafor, etc.
Wait at least 4 hours before washing your face or applying soap, cream, or makeup to the treatment area.

Multiple treatments may be required.
Notify the clinic of concerns (blistering, excessive redness/swelling, etc.)
Consult with your provider about when to resume the skin-care regime.
This place is an other world experience. I promise you won't regret it! I never understood the difference between MedSpas but after speaking with Dr. Patel and having her inject me... WOW! Wish I was more educated before about HOW important it is for the person injecting you to TRULY understand anatomy. Dr. Patel is SO knowledgeable and I truly appreciate that she continues to educate herself by attending seminars and getting certified for all kinds of things that will likely become "mainstream" in like 5 years. I'm okay with her being out of office when I need her for that reason, haha. She never pushes fillers or botox. On the other hand, she encourages you to take CARE of your skin and try anti-aging laser remedies (they offer so many types!). I'm literally never going anywhere else!

Secret RF is a radio frequency (RF) fractional microneedling system that improves signs of aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles and scars. Treatments are suitable for patients seeking skin revitalization and are customized to address individual skin concerns and needs. Secret RF Microneedling is safe and effective, and suitable for all skin types.
Secret RF uses microneedles to deliver radio frequency energy into varying levels of the skin including the deeper layers where treatment is most beneficial. Unlike other devices which only deposit energy in upper layer of the skin, Secret RF de- livers RF energy below the surface where it’s needed most to help revitalize and regenerate the tissue. This unique delivery of energy allows us to achieve optimal results with little to no downtime on all skin types.
The Secret RF treatment is ideal for improving aging skin, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, scars, acnes scars, skin quality and striae. The treatment is safe and effective, and suitable for all skin types and patients seeking skin revitalization.
Fine lines and creases are caused by a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin over time. Sun damage, dietary factors, and poor skin care also contribute to growing wrinkles and skin texture issues. Secret RF is a great way to reduce the appearance of mild to moderate wrinkles, deep acne scars, and discoloration without resorting to facelift surgery or other invasive procedures. Renew Wellness Center can erase years of natural aging and skin damage, helping patients maintain a youthful appearance long-term.
