What is RF Cautery?

RF Cautery is a safe, non-invasive treatment that permanently removes unsightly skin growths from your face and body in just one session! This treatment involves a cauterization machine that has been successfully used for over 30 years by skin care professionals delivering superior results. RF Cautery effectively treats a wide range of minor and superficial skin irregularities such as skin tags, telangiectasias (small dilated blood vessels near skin surface, common on the face and around nose, cheeks, and chin), keratosis, cherry angiomas, fibromas, warts, and flat age spots.  Treatment recommendation depends on area treated and skin condition. CryoSkin also available.

How RF Cautery Works?

The technique of radiosurgery includes the progression of high-frequency radio waves(2mhz-Megahertz) through soft tissue to cut, solidify, or remove unwanted skin growth.

The skincare professional or surgeon operates with a handpiece with an active electrode to transmit the radio waves. The radio waves will be placed on the tissue by an antenna plate that is positioned behind the tissue in contact with the patient’s skin.

The soft tissues will induce resistance to these radio waves causing the cellular water in it to heat and produce steam. This process will then end up dissolving the cellular molecular of individual tissue cells. 

Radio wave technology treats many types of skin lesions like:

  • Age spots
  • Moles and raised lesions
  • Skin tags
  • Warts (verruca)
  • Sun-damaged skin

Post-treatment care

After treatment, you may go on with your everyday activities. Your Aesthetician will continue to survey you with follow-up consultations. The said therapy normally only needs one treatment. However, some lesions may require more than one treatment session, likely finishing within five treatments. There are the things to remember after your treatment:

  1. There will be pain and a little discomfort which will soon get better. Some patients may regard the necessity to take a pain reliever. You can check it with your dermatologist before taking any medication.
  2. Prevent yourself from touching the spot as far as possible.
  3. Avoid exposure to late sunlight, and persist from going to dusty surroundings for at least a week. 
  4. The scab left after the treatment will eventually fall off, it is recommended to keep it dry for 2-3 days post-surgery.

Dermaplaning

Some people have excessive facial hair and other skin disorders, but they don’t know how to deal with them. We have a remedy for some of your most stubborn skin concerns at Natalie’s Skin Solutions in Florida, and it’s one of the most basic skincare treatments accessible. We provide Dermaplaning Treatment, which is a manual exfoliation that will smooth and soften skin texture and look by removing the outer layers of dead skin cells, vellus hair (peach fuzz), and surface debris, allowing for 60% more product absorption.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a type of physical exfoliation that uses just one tool: a medical-grade scalpel. It efficiently eliminates the top layer of skin, revealing a brighter, more youthful layer beneath. In doing so, it addresses a variety of skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, fine wrinkles, and big pores.

How is Dermaplaning Treatment Performed?

Your aesthetician in Natalie’s Skin Solutions will begin the treatment by cleansing your face to prepare it for exfoliation. Then, before initiating the procedure, she will apply a solution to your skin that will open the pores. She will scrape your skin at a 45° angle with a surgical steel medical-grade knife. The angle is critical because it avoids cutting your skin and effectively removes all of the dead skin.

To avoid any injury, she’ll pull the skin taut while she moves the scalpel back and forth across the surface. Additionally to the peach fuzz, you will be able to see all of the dead skin that comes off of your face.

Dermaplaning may be coupled with peels or microdermabrasion to provide an incredible exfoliation treatment, or it can be performed independently. Customized dermaplaning treatments are advised every four to six weeks to maximize the efficiency of your home product regimen and to ensure long-lasting effects.

How does it removes dead skin?

Many clients like seeing what has been removed from their faces since it is such a rewarding feeling to see real evidence of your exfoliation. This treatment encourages the growth of new skin cells, rejuvenates the skin, and aids in the appearance and feel of youthful skin. Following the treatment, your aesthetician will apply a soothing serum or mask to assist in calming the skin and reestablishing pH balance.

What are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

This treatment has endless benefits. 

  • It rejuvenates skin
  • Removes Peach Fuzz
  • Cleaner and smaller pores
  • Minimize the apperance of fine lines and wringkles
  • and more. 

It Helps Resolve Skin Issues

This treatment not only rejuvenates the appearance of your face, but also helps to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, by lowering the overall quantity of dirt and oil in your pores, it might make them appear smaller. It aids in the treatment of hyperpigmentation and general skin health.

Your Skincare Products Will Be More Effectively Absorbent

Not only will your goods apply more smoothly, but they will also perform more effectively. After this treatment, you will effectively have a new layer of skin, with no dead skin cells acting as a barrier between your skin and your goods. To maximize their results, many patients combine dermaplaning with additional in-office procedures such as chemical peels.

Your Makeup Will Look Better

Makeup and dead skin cells do not mix nicely. Applying foundation and other cosmetic items might be difficult when your skin is in need of exfoliation. Because this treatment eliminates both dead skin cells and hair, your foundation will apply more easily and your face will seem more airbrushed.

It’s Non-Invasive

No numbing cream is required prior to this procedure. No incisions or harsh chemicals are utilized, and the only scalpel is the medical-grade therapy instrument that passes back and forth over your skin. There are no post-operative needs, and you will not be required to miss public appearances owing to a red or irritated face.

All Skin Types Can Undergo Treatment

This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones. Even people with highly sensitive skin or rosacea can arrange a session and reap the advantages.

It’s a Natural Treatment

This treatment doesn’t use any ingredients that will irritate your skin. It also is one of the simplest yet most effective forms of hair removal. If you have ever undergone a waxing, laser, or threading appointment in an attempt to remove facial hair from your skin, you may have dealt with irritation and inflammation afterward or, the treatments weren’t able to successfully remove all of your hair.

This particular treatment won’t irritate your skin, and it will remove all of the hair in the treatment area.

Dermaplaning FAQs

Is This Treatment the Same as Shaving?

Both a standard razor and the medical-grade scalpel used during this process effectively remove hair from the surface of the skin, but the scalpel is much sharper than your everyday raiser. Therefore, not only is it more effective at removing the hair on the surface of the skin, but it can give you a deeper form of physical exfoliation than a razor can.

It also is shaped in such a way that your aesthetician can effectively treat your entire face with all of its curves and angles without nicking or cutting your skin.

Will It Make My Hair Grow Back Darker?

There’s an old wive’s tale that was probably designed to scare young girls out of shaving too early that says shaving your hair makes it grow back darker. This is not the case since shaving your hair doesn’t affect your hair follicles in any way, nor does it affect the rate at which your hair grows. You can rest assured that when you use this treatment to remove hair from your face, it will not grow back thicker or darker. Only genetics determines that.

Who Is This Treatment Right For?

This treatment is ideal for anyone who wants to exfoliate their skin without risking irritation or inflammation. Most individuals, even those who are excluded from other skincare treatments, can benefit from this one. Pregnant women, individuals with extremely sensitive skin, and even those who suffer from rosacea can safely undergo this treatment.

Are There Any Aftercare Requirements?

While there is no downtime associated with this treatment but there are a few directives you can follow post-treatment to make sure you get the best results. As is true of any skincare treatment, you should wear sunscreen anytime you are in the sun. You should pay special attention to sun exposure during the first 24 hours after your appointment, but making sun safety a habit will help prevent premature aging and make your skin stay youthful for much longer.

You should also keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and keep it moisturized after your treatment to experience the best results.

Can I Dermaplane at Home?

The medical-grade surgical steel scalpel used during this treatment is very sharp. Your aesthetician is trained and skilled on how to maneuver and effectively use this tool. Attempting this treatment at home with a medical-grade scalpel could result in cuts and scarring. Many people choose to use razors to lightly exfoliate their face at home, but we do not recommend attempting a DIY dermaplaning session at home.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Each session that you schedule will build upon the results of the previous one. Most patients schedule this treatment every four weeks to keep their skin looking fresh, bright, and exfoliated. During your consultation, we will set up a treatment plan including the total number of sessions you should experience to get the best results and then maintain those results.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Results do vary among patients, but the skin-rejuvenating and brightening results that come from this treatment typically last three to four weeks, based on when your skin’s cell turnover process begins. At that time, once you notice that your skin is looking dull, you can schedule another treatment to once again exfoliate your skin and improve its overall appearance.

Taking the Next Step
Investing in your skin is one of the most important things you can do because it helps you get one step ahead of the aging process. Dermaplaning is one of the best ways to start taking care of your skin and treat certain problematic skin conditions in a non-invasive and natural way. Contact the experts Southeastern Institute of Restorative Medicine in Dothan AL, today to schedule your first appointment.

Secret PRO Ultra-light and Secret PRO Ultra FAQ

What is the Secret PRO Ultra treatment?

The Secret PRO Ultra treatment revitalizes severely sun-damaged skin by utilizing CO2 laser light. The procedure is designed to deliver safe, effective, fractional skin resurfacing by treating multiple skin layers at the same time with precision and control. This one treatment delivers long-lasting benefits that are tailored to your specific needs.

What conditions does it treat?

The Secret PRO Ultra treatment reduces sun damage, improves skin texture, and promotes collagen production to reduce the appearance of scars and crepey skin through fractional skin resurfacing.

What is the treatment like?

Before a Secret PRO Ultra treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied and/or a prescribed medication will be provided to ensure comfort during the procedure. During the treatment, your provider will gently stamp the laser over the treatment area to create thousands of microscopic perforations at various depths while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. As the perforations heal, new cells appear to reverse the signs of aging. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the procedure usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes.

Is there downtime after the treatment?

Immediately after the treatment, your skin will be red, feel hot as if you have a sunburn, and very sensitive to touch. Your provider will offer a topical skincare regimen following the treatment to improve your comfort and the healing process. The next day, you may be swollen, and you will notice a pattern forming over the treatment area from the microscopic perforations that will begin to scab and sluff off over the next week. The exfoliation process typically lasts 5-7 days.

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients see significant improvement after just 1 treatment.

When will I see results?

After the exfoliation process is complete, you will see immediate improvements in your skin’s appearance, which will progressively improve over the next 3-6 months as new collagen is produced.

Am I a candidate for Secret Pro Ultra?

What conditions does it treat?

Secret PRO Ultra-Light helps promote healthy skin and provides results for many common skin concerns, including; uneven skin tone and texture and overall complexion quality.

What is the treatment like?

A topical numbing cream will be used before to the start of your treatment to ensure your comfort. During the treatment, Natalie’s Skin Solution’s aesthetician will gently stamp the laser over the treatment region, creating thousands of small holes in the surface tissue while keeping the underlying tissue intact. As the perforations heal, new cells regenerate, leaving your skin looking healthier and more youthful. The operation typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the region being treated.

Is there downtime after the treatment?

Your skin will be pink, fell very warm, and sensitive to touch immediately following the treatment. Then , Natalie’s Skin Solution’s aesthetician will recommend a topical skincare plan to maximize the therapy’s outcomes. The next day, you will observe a pattern emerging over the treatment area as a result of the minute holes, which will eventually scab and slough off. Exfoliation normally takes 3-4 days.

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients will need 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Natalie’s Skin Solution’s aesthetician will create an ideal treatment plan customized for you, depending on your skin concerns.

When will I see results?

After the exfoliating procedure is complete, you will notice an instant improvement in the tone and texture of your skin, which will continue to improve with each session.

Am I a candidate for Secret PRO Ultra-Light?

Microblading FAQs

What Is Microblading?

Microblading is a type of eyebrow tattoo that lasts for a short time. It is done with a small handheld tool and a feather stroke technique to make your eyebrows look fuller or to make your face look better. Microblading is a less noticeable way to get a cosmetic tattoo than some older methods. Ink is used for body tattoos, and pigments are used for cosmetic tattoos. These pigments are meant to fade slowly over time. fading is a good thing because it lets the artist make changes to the color and shape of the piece over time as the client’s natural color and facial changes happen over time.

How Long Is The Appointment?

About two hours. During your appointment, we will talk to you all the time to make sure we are on the same page. It takes a lot of time to figure out what shape and color you want your eyebrows to be. During the procedure itself, it can take 30 minutes to an hour. In about an hour, we’ll see each other again.

Is The Follow Up Appointment Included?

In order to make sure that the brows heal properly, at least two treatments are usually needed at least 6 to 10 weeks apart. When we do this first touch up, we can fix any parts that might have faded, and the client can make suggestions if they want to change how the shape or color looks.

How Long Does Microblading Last?

The treatment is only supposed to last for a short time, but it will fade over time. Touch-ups should be done every 1-2 years to keep the shape, color, and detail of your hair. How often depends on a lot of things, like:

  • Skin type (oily skin fade faster)
  • Pigment color used (lighter colors fade faster)
  • Sun exposure (over time can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment)
  • Use of daily anti-aging products e.g.- (Tretinoin (Retin-A) & Alpha Hydroxy). These products increase your cell turnover rate and will shorten the life of your cosmetic tattoo

Is it painful?

We do everything we can to make the process as easy as possible. Before the Microblading starts, a topical anesthetic is put on the area to make it less painful. During the procedure, a liquid anesthetic is used to make it less painful. Some clients may feel a little pain, but for the most part, it’s not very painful.

(PLEASE NOTE that if you are a frequent smoker, or have your appointment during your menstrual cycle, the pain level could be intensified.)

Is It Safe to Exercise After Microblading?

You must refrain from physical activity for seven days following your microblading appointment. While light exercise is permitted (with minimum perspiration), you must immediately rinse the tattooed area with lukewarm water afterward. Sweat contains salt, which rapidly fades the colour and produces unsatisfactory effects.

Who is not suitable for the procedure?

Microblading is not suitable for the following candidates:

  • Utilization of Accutane
  • Have a heart problem or are currently taking heart medication
  • Have diabetes (a physician’s note will be required)
  • Have skin conditions or irritants
  • Have received Botox within the last two weeks
  • Have you recently received a deep tan or chemical peel?
  • To lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine, or epinephrine: hypersensitivity
  • Anyone who is suffering from a serious medical condition may be required to obtain a physician’s note.
  • Microblading pregnant or nursing clients is at your discretion. We recommend first consulting with your physician. Microblading is still considered a tattoo, and just as with wine or sushi consumption, doing so during this time period is a personal choice.

  • Glycolic Acid, Retin-A, facial peels, and exfoliation should be avoided in the tattooed area due to the possibility of lightening the pigment.
  • Please advise the laser technician if you are undergoing laser resurfacing or laser hair removal after your tattoo has healed. Laser techniques may cause the tattooed area to darken, brighten, or discolor.

Reasons Why Fishing is the Best February’s Date

If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your partner or loved ones, a tackle box instead of a chocolate box can be the answer. Outdoor adventures with your partner can be the heart-shaped key to a happier relationship.

When you combine the thrill of an adventure with the bonding experience of fishing with the satisfaction of catching some nice fish, you have the ideal way to spend Valentine’s Day. Instead of buying flowers or chocolates, go prepare your fishing equipment!

Check out a few additional reasons why fishing is a great Valentine’s Day date, as well as some extra tips on how to make it even more romantic.

1. Fishing is a fun and inexpensive way to spend time with your partner. While on one of Hate2Lose chartered fishing experiences, it’s a chance to unwind, spend quality time with family and friends, enjoy the fresh air, and reel in some nice fish.

2. Fishing might help rekindle or reignite a romantic relationship. In fact, half of both men and women think it’s crucial that their significant other is interested in outdoor activities, according to a survey performed by the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation.

3. You will be able to experience a breathtaking sunset over the ocean. When going on a boating or fishing trip, it’s best to leave your phones at home and spend quality time together in nature. Concentrate on soaking up all of the breathtaking sights and sounds. Make an effort to be present for one another.

4. You get to acquire new fishing abilities with your friends, which can boost your self-esteem and companionship. When it comes to rigging your baits or tying a Cleat Hitch, you can help each other out.

5. Water adventures create lifelong relationship and memories. When you share the thrill of catching a fish with your partner, you’ll make genuine Valentine’s Day memories.

6. Instead of wearing formal gear, you can spend your date in relaxed, casual outdoor attire. There is no need to be concerned about what you should dress. Furthermore, one-third of people in relationships enjoy non-traditional outdoor activities such as fishing or hiking.

7. When you have a bunch of fishing subjects to talk about and questions to ask, it’s a lot easier to strike up a conversation. It’s much more thrilling when the fish start biting.

8. You’ll both return home with new fish stories, potentially a frame-worthy shot, or, at the absolute least, a little exaggerated story of the one that got away after your fishing date.

9. Couples who fish and boat together help to protect, conserve, and restore our natural resources by purchasing fishing licenses and boat registrations.

10. If your catches are permitted, complete your fishing date by cooking a romantic fish filet dinner by candlelight with your favorite songs played as background.

BB Glow or Not to BB Glow?

BB Glow Treatment Safety 

What has gotten the most attention among specialists is the safety of both the application technique itself and the BB Glow products themselves, which are put directly to the skin after being applied. Furthermore, the BB Glow treatment has been criticized for involves micro needling into the skin in a procedure that can take up to two hours and must be done several times over time.

Microneedling, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive process that is deemed completely safe and beneficial for the vast majority of people who are in otherwise good health. The fact is, as with any type of cosmetic procedure, it is critical to select a qualified and experienced practitioner, such as Natalies Skin Solutions.

Because of the Microneedling technology, the DermaPen, which has been carefully developed, may only apply the serum to the first layer of the skin, minimizing the likelihood of significant damage to the skin. Although the BB Glow treatment is generally considered to be comfortable, some clients may notice tingling and stiffness in their skin during or for a few hours after the procedure.

BB Glow serums ingredients:

– Alcohol

– Allergens

– Benzophenone

– Fragrances

– Formaldehyde

– Parabens

– Mineral Oils

– Synthetic colouring

– No animal testing involved

Last, not least, it is important to choose a certified and experienced professional such as licensed aesthetician or dermatologist like Natalies Skin Solutions to carry out the procedure.

Before receiving BB Glow, there are a few things to consider.

However, despite the fact that the treatment is suitable for every type of skin including dry, oily, pigmented, and normal, it is crucial to remember that it is not suggested for anyone. The process is not recommended for those who have any type of skin problem, including active acne or cystic acne, eczema, psoriasis, open wounds and pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is also not suitable for people who are on hormonal medicine.

A list of contraindications for BB Glow is provided below.

When it comes to minor dangers, there is nothing to be concerned about. Immediately following the operations, it is extremely likely that you will suffer some redness, drying, swelling, bruising, or peeling skin. These could linger for a couple of days in the coming days.

However, despite the fact that the majority of probable adverse effects are minimal, there is a variety of serious short- and long-term concerns related with the treatment that may arise. Infections, pigmentation inconsistencies, changes in skin tone, and allergic reactions are all examples of short-term difficulties. Long-term problems may be related with undesirable effects on skin texture that persist over time as a result of frequent treatments or scarring.

Before Treatment BB Glow

In the event that you are unsure whether the BB Glow treatment is right for you, contact Natalies Skin Solutions at 239.936.SKIN(7546) to book an appointment to explore this treatment further. In order to get the greatest potential outcomes while also minimizing the hazards, these types of therapies are used. For example, certain types of medications, such as those used to treat acne or those used to thin the blood, may need to be discontinued before to the procedure in order to lessen the chance of negative effects.

If you are concerned about an allergic reaction, a test treatment can be performed beforehand to check how your skin reacts to the use of BB creams before the operation is performed in full. In most cases, the test is performed on the neck or underneath the hairline.

After Treatment BB Glow

The change of the skin tone and decrease of pigmentation and other skin defects should be noticeable within 10 days from the treatment.

In general, you can carry on your daily routine and go to work or school after the procedure if you feel comfortable. However, your skin will be more sensitive, therefore, it is recommended to avoid the following:

– No excessive facial cleansing for a minimum of 24 hours in order to allow the creams

to settle underneath the skin

– No skin touching for a minimum of 12 hours

– 3 days with no Retin-A products applications

– 5 days with no make-up or skin peel

– 7 days with no swimming or gym

– 14 days with no direct heat including sunbathing, sauna, or sunbed

The longer you do not use any facial products the better because the skin needs time to heal and regenerate, hence, using foundation products may prevent the skin to regenerate

as fast or with such positive outcome.

Is Hair Laser Removal Worth It?

There’s nothing more pleasing than the sensation of absolutely silky legs and soft underarms. Whether you’re planning a getaway at the beach or venturing someplace with friends, smooth skin and well-shaped brows are priorities.

However, that would imply having to do the shaving, waxing, and tweezing for hours on your own. With hair laser removal, you can save so much of your time and effort. This long-term method reduces the demand for a wearisome DIY shaving and plucking at home, and they’re even inexpensive than you might think.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a commonly done cosmetic process in the U.S. It illuminates a highly potent light into the hair follicles whereas the pigment in the strands absorbs the light, then destroys it.

This procedure is more than just eliminating unwanted hair. It is also a medical approach that demands continuous training for professionals to execute. Before having a laser hair removal appointment, you should comprehensively check the certifications of the doctor or the person engaged in conducting the process.

Things to Consider before Doing Laser Hair Removal

Lasers are beneficial and a lot practical for getting rid of the undesirable hair from the face, leg, chin, back, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas. However, there are things you might want to consider beforehand such as:

1. Lighter hair color may not be lasered

The darker the hair, the better since lasers function by detecting the pigment in the hair. Lighter hair colors (blonde, red, or gray) may not adequately contain pigment to be detected and targeted.

2. Avoid sun exposure before your laser hair removal

When you’ve had sunbathing, your skin color might become identical to your hair follicle and that would make it more difficult for the laser to detect. Try avoiding the sun for a month before your laser hair removal procedure for better results. 

3. No tweezing or waxing before your schedule

The follicle needs to be present as it is the target of the laser procedure and it’s the best reference for the hair follicle. Contrarily, shaving would be fine since it may also help with the procedure’s success, particularly for those who have a fair complexion.

4. Don’t expect a completely permanent hair removal outcome

Laser hair removal is also known as “permanent hair reduction”. It means that the hair will ultimately regrow with newer hairs that grow commonly thinner and lighter than before.

By this, it would be more difficult to notice it visually making laser hair removal advantageous. You can expect to have periodic touch-ups when necessary.

6. There might be a need for laser hair removal sessions

Laser hair removal requires many sessions because the most promising time to hit the hair strands with the laser is on its active growth period. This might happen once every six weeks.

7. Check your medications

Be sure to reconsider all the medications you’re currently taking with your provider before scheduling your first laser hair removal. Certain types of medicines can cause your skin to be more sensitive to the laser’s beam, which can generate pigment irregularities or even burns.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

1. Quick Procedure

If it’s a quick solution you’re searching for, laser hair removal is the fastest way to get rid of unwanted hair.

You will have to have multiple treatment sessions, but most sessions only take a few minutes. The smaller the treatment area, the less time you’ll spend under the laser.

2. Pain-Free Approach

Laser hair removal is a lot less painful than most people think. Many people equate it to the feeling of snapping a rubber band against the skin.Depending on your threshold for pain, you may find it slightly uncomfortable, but the sessions are so fast that most people find it easy to endure.

3.Removes Hair From Any Part of the Body

Laser hair removal can be done on any part of the body. It’s exceptionally ideal for the areas on the back and around the bikini, which can be challenging to get rid of with a shaver and painful to wax.

4.Prevents Ingrown Hairs

Shaving, waxing, and other forms of hair reduction can provoke ingrown hairs. If you’re inclined to ingrown hairs, this treatment is a perfect option.

By eradicating the root of the hair, you won’t have to agonize over those bothersome hairs growing back in.

5.Long-Term Solution

Since it’s a long-term answer to your fast hair regrowth, it’s also cost-effective. You can save hundreds of dollars since there won’t be a necessity for constant waxes and shaving.

Why Choose Natalie’s Skin Solutions?

If you’re tired of tweezing, spending money on costly razor blades, and calling for waxing schedules- it’s time to think about having a laser hair removal treatment. It is safe, effective, and most of all, FDA-approved.

Every woman deserves to have flawless and glowing skin. At Natalie’s Skin Solutions of Naples, Fort Myers, FL our non-invasive treatments are developed to extensively revitalize your skin.

Secret RF: Dermal Remodeling from the Inside Out

&

Secret Pro: Progressive Dermal Remodeling with Defined Results

Secret RF is a novel fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling system for tissue coagulation and hemostasis designed to stimulate and remodel collagen and address the common signs of aging. It is ideally suited for use on patients who wish to revitalize and refresh the appearance of their skin on all skin types. By adjusting the micro-needles, Secret RF can deliver energy at various depths, so that treatments can be tailored to address each patient’s individual concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and striae at the depth required.

Secret™ PRO takes on a non-conventional approach to skin revitalization by uniquely combining two clinically proven technologies in a single device. Utilizing fractional CO2 for skin resurfacing and radio frequency microneedling for deep dermal remodeling effectively treats the full thickness of the skin from epidermis to the deeper dermal layers independently or together.

Secret PRO’s customizable procedures offer breakthrough treatment options based on your patient’s needs, skin type, and downtime tolerance while maximizing your ROI.

Applications

  • Skin resurfacing
  • Hemostasis
  • Coagulation

Secret™ PRO Customized Treatments

Secret PRO features four unique treatment options for skin resurfacing and deep dermal remodeling, designed specifically to address your patient’s needs.

Secret PRO Ultra Light

This series of gentle, full-face, fractional CO2, micro peel treatments address the superficial layers of photodamaged skin and stimulates neocollagenesis for skin revitalization with minimal downtime.¹

Secret PRO Ultra

For patients who desire a more aggressive treatment, this procedure uses CO2 laser energy to target photodamage, uneven texture, scars, and deliver results in a single treatment.

Secret PRO Refine

A series of customizable RF microneedling treatments to provide deep dermal remodeling. Energy is precisely delivered at varying depths to treat common skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne scars,2 striae,3 and more.

 Secret PRO Revive

Reverse the signs of aging with the ultimate treatment that layers RF microneedling and CO2 laser energy in a single session. This procedure stimulates collagen and hyaluronic acid production and improves overall skin quality. 

Secret RF – The Advantages of Fractional vs. Traditional Microneedling

Photodamaged and aging skin is characterized by the thinning of the epidermis and dermis and is associated with a decrease in collagen levels resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, tone and texture changes. Treatment of photoaged skin is based on inflicting damage to the dermis, resulting in neocollagenesis. Damage to the dermis results in the upregulation of the activity of various enzymes, such as metalloproteinases and collagenase that are responsible for the removal of old tissue and deposition of new dermal tissue1. Traditionally, laser-based technologies are used to resurface the skin. However, these treatments vary in their efficacy, adverse effects and downtime after treatment.

Recently, fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling has emerged as a treatment option. Rather than impacting the entire surface, microneedling causes thermal damage to the dermis in microscopic zones. The intact surrounding tissue accelerates the wound healing process, reducing recovery time and resulting in minimal adverse effects.

RF Microneedling

Fractional RF microneedling is a minimally invasive technology that involves the use of an array of very fine sterilized needles to create microscopic wounds at various predetermined depths in the dermis, without affecting the epidermis. The delivery of energy leads to the creation of an array of microscopic wounds in the dermis, interspersed between intact tissue. The direct thermal heating of the dermis results in new collagen production and subsequent dermal thickening. The presence of the intact epidermis and the surrounding dermal tissue results in rapid re-epithelialization and thus minimal downtime and risks. Studies also show that fractional radiofrequency microneedling is effective in the treatment of acne scars2, 3, 4 and wrinkles5.

The pain associated with fractional radiofrequency microneedling may be more than traditional microneedling but is very manageable using standard pain management techniques. Topical anesthetics like lidocaine, applied at least 30 minutes before treatment, are generally adequate to minimize discomfort during treatment. Cutera’s Secret™ RF is a microneedle fractional radiofrequency device optimized for skin revitalization therapy. It uses precisely delivered bipolar radiofrequency energy to provide fractional radiofrequency microneedling for the treatment of photodamage, rhytides, acne scars, striae and other forms of scarring.

Secret RF is notably effective in the treatment of scars and wrinkles and is suitable for treating all skin types with minimal risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.

Secret RF is versatile and features a 64 pin and a 25 pin handpiece with adjustable needle penetration from 0.5mm to 3.5mm. The 64 pin handpiece features semi-insulated needles and is useful for efficient treatment of larger areas, whereas the 25 pin handpiece can be used with either semi-insulated or non-insulated needles for the treatment of smaller areas. The 25 pin non-insulated handpiece is recommended for skin types I-III.

Secret RF is reliable and well-tolerated technique for skin revitalization with little to no downtime. The treatment generally takes only 15-20 minutes and requires as few as three treatments for best results.

Acne Treatment

According to mayoclinic.org, Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems.

What are the types of Acne?

  • Papules are small, red, raised bumps caused by inflamed or infected hair follicles.
  • Pustules are small red pimples that have pus at their tips.
  • Nodules are solid, often painful lumps beneath the surface of your skin.
  • Cysts are large lumps found beneath your skin that contain pus and are usually painful.

What are Acne Symptoms?

Acne signs vary depending on the severity of your condition:

  • Whiteheads (closed plugged pores)
  • Blackheads (open plugged pores)
  • Small red, tender bumps (papules)
  • Pimples (pustules), which are papules with pus at their tips
  • Large, solid, painful lumps under the skin (nodules)
  • Painful, pus-filled lumps under the skin (cystic lesions)

Acne usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders.

How to Treat Acne?

1. Microneedling Microneedling with PRP medical treatments are extremely popular due to the use of Platelet Rich Plasma. With little discomfort and downtime, patients can reduce skin issues like acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines, and wrinkles. Many patients also use PRP Micro-needling treatments as a preventative procedure in their anti-aging therapy regimen.

2. HydraFacial HydraFacial treatmentis a non-invasive, multi-step treatment that combines the benefits of next-level hydra dermabrasion, a chemical peel, automated painless extractions and a special delivery of Antioxidants, Hyaluronic Acid, and Peptides.

Look at these results!

1 microneedling + PRP and 2 hydrafacial acne treatments has made a HUGE difference in this clients skin.
