RF Microneedling with Secret RF®

Advanced Skin Rejuvenation at Cordial Medical Spa

At Cordial Medical Spa, we believe in results-driven treatments that combine medical expertise with cutting-edge technology. One of our most powerful skin rejuvenation treatments is

RF microneedling using Secret RF® by Cutera—a customizable, minimally invasive procedure designed to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness from the inside out.

Whether your goal is skin rejuvenation, repair of acne scars , improvement of stretch mark, or overall skin tightening, Secret RF delivers noticeable, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

What Is RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling = radiofrequency microneedling, it combines two proven technologies:

  • Microneedling, which creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

  • Radiofrequency energy, which delivers heat precisely into deeper layers of the skin to remodel collagen and elastin and also shortens the recovery after procedure.

Unlike traditional microneedling, RF energy penetrates deeper and more uniformly, leading to stronger collagen remodeling and longer-lasting results.

Why We Use Secret RF® by Cutera

Secret RF® is a premium, FDA-cleared RF microneedling platform known for its precision, safety, and versatility.

Before and After

Key Advantages of Secret RF:

  • Adjustable needle depth for face and body

  • Safe for all skin tones

  • Targets both superficial and deep dermal layers

  • Minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially in darker skin types

  • Customizable for delicate areas (eyes, neck, hands) and thicker skin (abdomen, thighs)

This allows us to tailor each treatment specifically to your skin type, concern, and comfort level.

RF Microneedling + PRP/PRF or Exosomes

While RF Microneedling could be done as a standalone procedure with a cooling normal saline mask after, we highly recommend adding platelet-rich plasma, fibrin, or exosomes.

Platelet-rich plasma or fibrin (PRP/PRF) is derived from your own blood.

Exosomes are a newer regenerative product we use topically after treatment to highly enhance results as it delivers bioactive signals to damaged or aging skin.

Benefits of Combining RF Microneedling with PRP/PRF:

  • Accelerates healing and recovery

  • Enhances collagen and elastin production

  • Improves skin glow and texture

  • Reduces post-procedure redness

  • Supports acne scar and stretch mark repair

PRP/PRF is applied immediately after microneedling, allowing growth factors to penetrate deeply through the micro-channels.

RF Microneedling + Exosomes

For patients seeking next-level regenerative results, we offer Exosomes in combination with Secret RF.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are cell-derived signaling particles rich in:

  • Growth factors

  • Peptides

  • Anti-inflammatory messengers

Benefits of RF Microneedling with Exosomes:

  • Enhanced skin regeneration

  • Improved firmness and elasticity

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Faster recovery

  • Visible improvement in fine lines, acne scars, and texture

This combination is ideal for patients who want maximum rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

  • Most patients describe the sensation as pressure and warmth, not pain

  • RF energy is delivered quickly and precisely

Treatment time typically ranges from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the area treated.

Downtime & Recovery

  • Mild redness and swelling for 24–72 hours

  • Skin may feel tight or warm for a few days

  • Makeup is usually safe after 24 hours

  • Results gradually improve over weeks to months as collagen rebuilds

A series of 3–4 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is often recommended for optimal results.
