What is the CUTERA® Secret RF Acne Treatment
This latest treatment from Cutera is the newest advancement in microneedling that provides better and more effective results for treating acne. Secret RF uses microneedles to deliver fractional Radio Frequency (RF) energy into varying levels of the skin including the deeper layers where treatment is most beneficial. RF energy heats tissue to stimulate new collagen and elastin while microneedles deliver this energy to the scarred problem areas below the skin. This combination of RF and microneedling delivers unprecedented results for patients who want to minimize the scars acne has left behind.
In as quick as 20-minutes per treat treatment, Secret RF can be performed safely and effectively. To achieve the optimal effect, 3-4 Secret RF sessions are recommended. You’ll start seeing results after your second treatment, but optimal results appear 3 months after your last treatment.

CUTERA® Secret RF Acne Treatment FAQs
Q: What is the Secret
A: Secret RF is a novel approach to deliver fractional radio frequency (RF) energy to all layers of the skin with minimal damage to the skin’s surface. The multi-layered treatment is tailored to each individual and addresses their unique skin concern during each customized treatment.
Q: How does it work?
A: 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.
Q: What is the Secret RF procedure like?
A: Secret RF is a 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 numbing cream to the treatment area to increase comfort during the treatment.
Q: How many Secret RF treatments will I need?
A: Patients typically need 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Most patients report seeing improvement after the second treatment however results are optimized 3 months after the last treatment.
Q: How long does a treatment last?
A:Results vary based on the individual. To maintain results, maintenance treatments are recommended every 12-18 months.
Q: What can I expect after my procedure?
A: After the treatment, an ointment will be applied to the skin and you will be asked to refrain from wearing make up 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.
