performed, the depth of needles is changed to obtain both deep and superficial layer stimulation effects. It takes a total of 1 hour to perform this treatment. Lidocaine cream is applied to reduce any pain that may occur. The face may become reddish after treatment, which will usually disappear within 24 hours. It is recommended that three treatments should be performed, with an interval of 2 months between applications.
What is the clinical result?
The author is pleased that the majority of patients are satisfied with the treatment. Only one patient among 30 treatment failed to see any difference in the look and feel of the skin. In the author’s experience, there have been cases in which some patients were only a little satisfied or unsatisfied, when considering a medical instrument. However, it was very encouraging to see older patients experience a reduction to wrinkles with the progress of treatment — even from the very first application. In particular, the effectiveness of the treatment of scars is noteworthy.

aging
Two patients who had received treatment developed swelling the next day; however, it was a normal effect that may manifest in the course of treatment and nothing to worry about.
The author sent the tissue samples of the patients to the laboratory and was able to obtain evidence that collagen regeneration had progressed even after only 2 weeks (Figures 1 and 2).
What are the differences?
A number of competitive instruments have been made available on the market, as this
product has used a relatively new technology. As there is concern about the possibility of the residue of an alloy being deposited inside the skin, it is important that needles are not insulated. Furthermore, the need for continuous treatment requires reasonable medical bills.
Conclusions SECRET RF allows practitioners to not only apply micro-needle fractional RF, but also provide the possibility of mono-polar RF treatment. Use of mono-polar RF for the maintenance of firm and supple skin, in addition to a combination of two methods, has brought good outcomes for patients. Patients who had visited the author’s clinic had a good knowledge about this new trend by means of the Internet; that is why it is very important, as an expert in anti-ageing medicine, to keep up-to-date with regard to recently available treatment methods.
