What Is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Secret RF or Endymed Intensif are fractional radio frequency (RF) microneedling systems for tissue coagulation and hemostasis designed to stimulate and remodel collagen from the inside out. It delivers precise, controlled energy at various depths to target patients’ most common skin concerns on the face and body.
Secret RF targets wrinkles, under-eyes creepiness, scars, sun damage, stretch marks, large pores, general signs of aging, skin quality, texture, and appearance.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling is one of the non-invasive skin treatments that enhances skin texture and appearance. The benefits include:
- Stimulating collagen and elastin production for improved firmness and elasticity
- Minimizing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars
- Reducing pore size for a smoother complexion
- Enhancing overall skin tone and texture
The results are natural-looking and long-lasting, making this procedure popular for individuals who want visible improvements without surgery.
Conditions Treated with RF Microneedling
This microneedling treatment is versatile and effective for addressing several skin concerns, such as:
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin tone
- Sagging or lax skin
By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, RF microneedling delivers exceptional results across various skin types.

How Does RF Microneedling Work?
This minimally invasive procedure, performed in the office, typically requires minimal downtime. Depending on your skin goals, our physicians at Madfes Dermatology & Aesthetics Group may recommend a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Results
The Intensif treatment creates microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the healing process. The result? Rejuvenated, refreshed, and smoother skin. The results can last months depending on the skin condition, age, and how well you protect your skin. Follow-up sessions can occur after four to eight weeks after the initial session.
Treatment
Intensif has become a go-to treatment for facial tightening and fine lines, delivering excellent results for the face, jawline, neck, and décolletage. Each session takes approximately 30-45 minutes (depending on the treatment area), and you can expect a mild heat sensation. For optimal comfort, apply a topical numbing cream one hour prior to your appointment. While some redness may persist for up to 10 days, recovery is typically within three days. We recommend a series of three treatments, scheduled four weeks apart, for best results.
