Secret RF at Revive Wellness: Precision Microneedling with Lasting Results
Home / Microneedling RF Specialist
Transform Your Skin with Advanced Technology
At Revive Wellness, we understand how important it is to feel confident in your skin. Concerns like fine lines, uneven texture, and enlarged pores can be difficult to improve with creams or facials alone. That’s why we offer two of the most advanced radiofrequency microneedling systems available today: Secret RF and Pixel 8.
These next-generation treatments combine the proven power of microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to refine texture, minimize pores, and stimulate collagen for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
Why RF Microneedling Stands Out
RF microneedling goes beyond surface-level treatments by addressing both the outer layer of the skin and the deeper dermal structures that support it. The micro-injuries created by fine needles trigger natural collagen and elastin production, while radiofrequency energy delivers controlled heat to tighten and remodel the skin from within.
The result is stronger, more youthful-looking skin that continues to improve over time.
Secret RF and Pixel 8: Powerful Tools for Lasting Skin Renewal
At Revive Wellness, we use Secret RF and Pixel 8 interchangeably based on each patient’s skin type, comfort level, and treatment goals. These systems perform the same core function but are engineered by different manufacturers. Both offer customizable depth and energy settings, allowing our providers to tailor every session for optimal results.
What They Do
- Refine uneven skin texture
- Minimize pores and soften fine lines
- Improve acne scars and stretch marks
- Stimulate long-term collagen remodeling
- Enhance tone and firmness across multiple areas
Whether we use Secret RF or Pixel 8, the treatment experience and results are very similar. Both technologies safely deliver energy into the dermis through precision microneedles, encouraging natural healing and visible rejuvenation.

Areas RF Microneedling Can Improve
RF microneedling with Secret RF or Pixel 8 can effectively treat multiple areas, including:
- Face: fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores
- Chest: sun damage and fine lines
- Hands: thinning or uneven tone
- Scars: acne or surgical scars
- Stretch marks: improved appearance and texture
Because both devices are safe for all skin types, they can be used confidently on a wide range of patients without the risk of pigment changes that some lasers carry.

RF Microneedling vs. Other Skin Treatments
Traditional microneedling relies solely on the mechanical action of fine needles to stimulate collagen. RF microneedling enhances that process by adding controlled heat energy, which tightens the skin and strengthens the dermal matrix for longer-lasting results.
Compared to laser resurfacing, RF microneedling is gentler on the skin and can be performed year-round. It also carries fewer risks of pigmentation changes, making it a versatile choice for patients seeking noticeable rejuvenation without extended downtime.
Is RF Microneedling Right for You?
You may be an excellent candidate for Secret RF or Pixel 8 if you:
- Want smoother, firmer skin without surgery
- Have mild to moderate wrinkles or fine lines
- Struggle with enlarged pores or rough texture
- Want to reduce acne scars or stretch marks
- Prefer treatments with minimal downtime
During your consultation, our providers will assess your skin and recommend the best approach for your goals. Because Secret RF and Pixel 8 achieve similar outcomes, the choice often comes down to comfort preferences and individualized skin needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Secret RF / RF Microneedling
What is Secret RF microneedling?
Secret RF is an advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment that combines the collagen-stimulating power of fine microneedles with targeted RF energy delivered deep into the dermis. Together, these two mechanisms trigger the skin’s natural healing response and remodel the deeper structural layers for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
How does RF microneedling differ from traditional microneedling?
Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production through the body’s natural repair process. RF microneedling adds a layer of radiofrequency heat energy delivered through those same needles, which tightens the skin and strengthens the dermal matrix. The result is more comprehensive rejuvenation and longer-lasting improvements than needling alone can achieve.
What is Pixel 8, and how does it relate to Secret RF?
Pixel 8 is a second radiofrequency microneedling system available at Revive Wellness. Both Secret RF and Pixel 8 perform the same core function — delivering microneedles and RF energy into precise skin layers — but are manufactured by different companies. Our providers select between the two based on each patient’s skin type, comfort level, and treatment goals. The treatment experience and results are very similar across both devices.
What skin concerns can Secret RF and Pixel 8 treat?
RF microneedling with Secret RF or Pixel 8 can address a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, rough or dull skin tone, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, and loss of firmness or elasticity. Treatments can be performed on the face, chest, hands, and other body areas.
Is Secret RF safe for all skin types?
Yes. Because RF microneedling delivers energy through insulated needles rather than broad light or laser wavelengths, it does not target melanin in the skin. This makes it safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including patients with darker complexions who may not be suitable candidates for certain laser treatments.
What should I expect during a Secret RF treatment session?
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. During the session, the handpiece delivers fine microneedles and RF energy into precise layers of the skin. Sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes depending on the areas being treated. Most patients find the procedure comfortable and well-tolerated with the numbing preparation in place.
How much downtime is involved after RF microneedling?
Most patients experience mild redness and slight swelling immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within one to two days. Makeup can often be applied the next day, allowing most patients to return to work and social activities quickly. RF microneedling is considered a minimal-downtime procedure compared to more ablative resurfacing options.
When will I start seeing results from Secret RF?
Because RF microneedling works with your body’s own collagen-building process, improvements appear gradually rather than immediately. Most patients begin to notice changes in skin texture and firmness within a few weeks of treatment. Results continue to develop over several months as new collagen matures, revealing progressively smoother and firmer skin.
How many sessions are recommended for optimal results?
The number of sessions recommended depends on your individual skin concerns, the severity of the condition being treated, and your personal goals. During your consultation, your provider at Revive Wellness will evaluate your skin and recommend a customized treatment plan. Many patients achieve their desired results with a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Can RF microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes. RF microneedling pairs well with a variety of other aesthetic treatments. At Revive Wellness, our providers can recommend complementary services during your consultation based on your skin goals. Combining treatments can help address multiple concerns — such as texture, tone, pigmentation, and laxity — in a coordinated plan tailored to your needs.
What areas of the body can be treated with Secret RF or Pixel 8?
RF microneedling can be performed on multiple areas of the body. The face is one of the most common treatment areas, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores. Other treatable areas include the chest for sun damage and fine lines, the hands for thinning or uneven tone, and the body for acne scars and stretch marks. Your provider will confirm which areas are appropriate for your specific concerns during your consultation.
Is Secret RF painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to significantly minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or warmth during the procedure. Patient comfort is a priority at Revive Wellness, and our team uses advanced techniques and topical anesthetics to make each session as comfortable as possible.
How does RF microneedling compare to laser resurfacing?
RF microneedling and laser resurfacing both stimulate collagen and improve skin quality, but they work differently. RF microneedling is gentler on the surface of the skin and carries fewer risks of pigmentation changes, making it suitable for a broader range of patients including those with darker skin tones. It can also be performed year-round without the sun-sensitivity restrictions associated with certain laser treatments. Laser resurfacing may be more appropriate for specific surface-level concerns, and your provider can help determine which option is best suited to your goals.
Am I a good candidate for Secret RF or Pixel 8?
You may be an excellent candidate for RF microneedling if you want to improve skin texture, firmness, or tone without surgery or extended downtime. It is well suited for patients with mild to moderate fine lines, enlarged pores, rough skin texture, acne scars, or stretch marks. The best way to determine candidacy is through a consultation with one of our providers at Revive Wellness, who will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.
