Secret RF Singapore
Finding the right treatment for acne scars in Singapore can be notoriously difficult, especially if you have other common skin issues such as fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin texture to tackle at the same time. Which treatments should you combine, and can they be done safely together? Well, what if we told you we have just the device that can revitalize and refresh your appearance and correct your skin problems all at once? The answer is Secret RF.
WHAT IS SECRET RF?
Secret RF is a non-surgical treatment that uses fractional radiofrequency (RF) and microneedling to treat depressed acne scars including rolling scars, boxcar scars and icepick scars. It transfers controlled heat to specific areas of the skin, working by the theory of tissue coagulation and homeostasis to trigger natural healing and stimulate collagen production. As such, apart from treating acne scars, it also effectively addresses common signs of ageing including fine lines, wrinkles and is an ideal option for patients who want tighter skin with effects similar to a facelift.

HOW DOES SECRET RF WORKS?
Secret RF comes with ultra-fine gold-plated microneedles that allow us to make perfect contact with your skin without any bruising or bleeding. These needles then penetrate into the skin, releasing Bipolar RF energy and denaturalizing surrounding tissue, thereby triggering collagen and elastin production.
The invention of Secret RF allows us to perform a conventional subcision and tackle acne scars safely and effectively without discomfort, the use of sharp needles and need for surface skin contact. This device also delivers energy at various depths, enabling us to customize each treatment according to your skin type, skin condition and other individual concerns.

Why choose Microneedling RF?
Microneedling RF has commonly been compared to the Fractional CO2 laser and Fractional Microneedling RF, another popular microneedling radiofrequency treatment. Here’s how it compares against the two. Unlike the Fractional CO2 laser, which uses ablative laser beams to penetrate through the skin, Microneedling RF does not use laser beams at all. While lasers are effective at cutting through scar fibers and stimulating collagen growth, they often come with a long downtime. Secret RF’s use of microneedles and radiofrequency allows for deeper penetration into the dermal layers of the skin and better results with minimal downtime. While both Fractional Microneedling RF and Microneedling RF use microneedle radiofrequency to treat acne scars, Microneedling RF uses gold-plated non-insulated microneedles that can penetrate skin smoothly without pain while ensuring identical heat transmission. For those reasons, we prefer Microneedling RF.

FAQs
Is Secret RF treatment painful?
It is designed with patient comfort in mind, so discomfort will be minimal. At Ozhean Zoey, we apply topical numbing creams and other anaesthetics before the procedure, so the procedure will be virtually painless or tolerable at best.
Can Secret RF be used for all skin types in Singapore?
Yes, it can be used for all skin types in Singapore, including dark skin and those with
combination skin types.
How many treatment sessions do I need?
The number of treatment sessions vary from person to person, but generally, about 4-5 sessions (each done every 3 weeks) are required for optimal results. Our doctors will be able to advise you better.
Is there any downtime?
You may experience some redness on the localised treatment area for the first 3-4 hours and a scab may form, but that is normal and part of the healing process. Otherwise, you are able to resume daily activities almost immediately.
We recommend that you avoid being exposed to sunlight for about a week post-treatment, and avoid cleansing your face till the redness disappears. Instead, gently wash your face with cold water and apply sunscreen daily to protect your face. It is also advisable to avoid medications containing glycolic acid or salicylic acid as they may irritate the skin.
