SECRET RF MICRONEEDLING
Sandia Skin + Face is proud to offer Secret RF®, a new microneedling treatment that improves signs of aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and scars with little to no downtime.
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.
This unique delivery of energy allows us to achieve optimal results on all skin types. Secret RF is an easy, safe and effective procedure performed in a quick, 20-minute treatment session.
We recommend 3-4 Secret RF treatments to achieve the optimal effect. You’ll start to notice results after your second treatment, but optimal results appear three months after the last treatment.
Your Secret RF treatment consultant can provide all the details you need to make an informed decision about the procedure.

PROCEDURE PREP
Read Up on Secret RF® Microneedling
- Regardless of what procedure you’re having done, it would be best if you didn’t go into it without a wealth of knowledge about what it entails. That’s why, before you go in for your first Secret RF Microneedling appointment, you need to read up on Secret RF Microneedling.
- Read about its benefits. Would you please read about the way that it’s administered? Read about any possible dangers it might cause.
- Watch out for over-exfoliation or anything a little bit harsher. You want to have your skin in its most calm state before the procedure.
- You will be asked to discontinue the use of Retin A, Retinols, Vitamin A creams, and other topical medications for 3-5 days before your Secret RF Microneedling treatment. It is required that you wear sunscreen daily and use the appropriate home care topical products. Examples are Urban Skin Rx Even Tone Cream or Retinol Pads.
- While Secret RF Microneedling is a primarily helpful procedure, it’s not without its downsides. Several potential side effects accompany Secret RF Microneedling, including pain, redness, drooping eyelids, and headaches.
By garnering information such as this, you can ensure that you’re sure about going through the procedure.
Schedule Your Appointment at an Appropriate Time
- Getting Secret RF Microneedling can sometimes be an anxiety-inducing and stressful experience.
- Schedule your procedure on a fairly laid-back day that allows plenty of “downtime” both before it begins and after.
- It’s a good idea for new patients to schedule their first appointments in the morning. By doing so, you don’t have to endure a long, potentially anxious wait.
Ask Your Doctor About Your Medications
- The fact of the matter is that some medications don’t mix well with Secret RF Microneedling. If you’re on medications, you need to discuss them with your doctor. In some cases, you’ll be advised to stay on them; in other cases, you’ll be advised to stop taking them for the time being.
- Some medications don’t go well with Secret RF Microneedling, including aspirin, ibuprofen, blood thinners, muscle relaxers, and allergy meds. If you’re taking these medications, you’ll need to be off of them in the days leading up to and the days following your appointment. Again, please consult your doctor before this or any procedure.

AFTERCARE
The goal of Secret RF Microneedling Aftercare is to encourage optimal treatment results. It can also minimize the risk of bruising and spreading to other areas.
After you’ve had microneedling, your skin is like a sponge — it will soak up whatever you want it to soak up, but it also soaks it up pretty quickly, so you want to keep it very moist and hydrated.
To take advantage of your skin’s increased rate of absorbance, put on a single layer of the best vitamin C in the world, SkinCeuticals’ CE Ferulic, and then let it sink in for a bit.
Generally, after the procedure, on the day you get Secret RF Microneedling, it’s a good idea to:
- Gently exercise your face
- Relax for the rest of the day
- Maintain a normal heart rate (no exercise)
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or physical pressure on the affected area
- No sunscreen OR makeup for 12 hours following treatment.
- Wash your face a few hours after treatment or before bed time. Use gentle cleanser such as the one provided in our Urban Skin Rx Post Procedure kit. Gently massage the face with tepid water (a shower can provide an easier ability to massage the face while washing at the same time), and remove all serum and dried blood.This will improve the appearance of the skin and also allow for better subsequent absorption of HydraFirm Serum.
- 12-72 hours post-treatment mineral makeup can be applied, but continue to use the Urban Skin Rx Post Procedure kit or a gentle cleanser, hyaluronic acid serum, and physical sunblock with an SPF of 25 or higher. If a more aggressive treatment was performed they should also be instructed to use a more occlusive balm such as Aquaphor.
- After 48 to 72 hours following treatment client can return to regular skin care regimen. Retinol products are strongly suggested to use for optimal results.
- Avoid alcohol-based toners for 10-14 days as well as excessive sun exposure for 10 days.
- For at least 2 hours post treatment, do NOT use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare.
- Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 24 hours. No tanning beds.
- Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
- No exercising or strenuous activity for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Sweating and gym environments are harmful, rife with bacteria, and may cause adverse reactions.
You can also follow the best practices for Secret RF Microneedling aftercare below.
Return to your Normal Activities
- Secret RF Microneedling procedures don’t require any recovery time. Therefore, you won’t have to take off work or school. You can resume your usual activities right after.
Wait 24 Hours to Exercise
- If exercise is part of your daily routine, wait at least 24 hours to work out. Your doctor might suggest waiting for several days.
Go Makeup-Free
- If you received a Secret RF Microneedling procedure on your face, take a break from makeup for 24 hours.
Sit Up
- Sit up for the first 4 hours after getting Secret RF Microneedling.
Ask your Doctor about Medications
