How Secret™ DUO Works
The Secret™ DUO treatment combines two powerful techniques in one session to promote healing, boost collagen, and renew the skin both inside and out:
- Secret™ DUO RF microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates collagen and tightens skin from within.
- Secret™ DUO laser therapy targets the skin’s surface, improving texture, tone, and discoloration.
What to Expect During Treatment
Secret™ DUO sessions typically take 30 to 60 minutes. First, a topical numbing cream is applied, and then the SecretTM DUO device is used to perform the RF microneedling followed by the fractional laser treatment. You may feel a mild warming or prickling sensation as each technology is applied.
Secret™ DUO Recovery and Results
After a Secret™ DUO session:
- You may experience mild redness or swelling for one to two days.
- Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
- Initial results often appear within a week.
- Collagen production continues to ramp up over the next several weeks for ongoing improvements in skin tone and texture.
For optimal outcomes, a series of sessions may be recommended.
