Secret RF is considered a safe and well-tolerated radiofrequency microneedling treatment when performed by an experienced provider. As with any minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, patients may experience temporary side effects including redness, swelling, mild discomfort, pinpoint bleeding, or sensitivity at the treatment site. These effects typically resolve within 24 to 72 hours.
Most patients return to normal activities within one to two days, making Secret RF an ideal option for individuals seeking effective skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Post-treatment skin may feel warm or tight, similar to a mild sunburn, and light flaking or dryness may occur as the skin heals.
Dr. Charles Kim prioritizes patient safety by using sterile technique, controlled energy delivery, and customized treatment settings to minimize risks. Patients are provided with detailed post-care instructions, including gentle skincare, sun protection, and avoidance of harsh products during the recovery phase.
Rare risks may include infection, prolonged redness, temporary hyperpigmentation, or uneven texture, particularly if post-treatment guidelines are not followed. CK Plastic Surgery employs strict safety protocols, thorough patient screening, and ongoing follow-up care to ensure optimal healing and results.
Collagen remodeling continues for several weeks following treatment, with visible improvements typically emerging within four to six weeks and continuing over several months. A series of treatments may be recommended to achieve optimal skin tightening and rejuvenation outcomes.
