About this technology

Understanding Secret PRO.

Secret PRO is a combination platform that brings three technologies together in one system:

  • Fractional CO2 laser — resurfaces the skin surface to help texture and tone.
  • RF microneedling — fine needles deliver radiofrequency heat at an adjustable depth in the deeper skin.
  • Surgi handpiece — a focused CO2 handpiece for precise work on small, superficial lesions.

Because each works at a different level, they can be used on their own or combined within a plan. Which one is used, at what intensity, is decided at your assessment rather than dictated by the platform.

How does Secret PRO work?

Fractional CO2 laser. Light is absorbed by water in the skin, creating a controlled grid of tiny treatment zones near the surface. The skin repairs these columns and builds new collagen over the following weeks.

RF microneedling. Fine needles pass through the surface and release radiofrequency energy at a set depth in the deeper skin, stimulating collagen remodelling while limiting effect on the surface itself.

Surgi handpiece. A narrowly focused CO2 beam allows precise removal of small superficial lesions, working on a defined spot rather than treating an area.

Combining modalities allows surface and deeper concerns to be addressed within one plan.

Clinical uses

Secret PRO is used for uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, fine lines, acne and other scarring, stretch marks, and mild to moderate skin laxity.

Broadly, the CO2 component addresses surface texture and tone, RF microneedling addresses deeper remodelling and tightening, and the Surgi handpiece is used for precise work on selected small superficial lesions.

What a device is formally authorized to treat, what it is commonly used for, and what is evidence-backed but off-label can differ. Your provider can tell you which applies to your situation. Results vary, and more than one session is often needed.

Potential benefits

The main advantage of Secret PRO is flexibility: because it combines resurfacing and RF microneedling, treatment can be tailored to address both surface and deeper concerns, either separately or as part of a staged plan. This can allow a clinician to adjust the balance of surface work and deeper heating to a patient's skin and goals. These are general characteristics of the technology and not a promise of any specific outcome; how much change a person sees depends on their skin, the concern being treated and the plan agreed with their clinician.

Safety and considerations

All three modalities create controlled injury to the skin, so some recovery is expected.

Common and expected: redness, swelling, warmth, pinpoint bleeding, tiny scabs, and a period of healing that is longer with more aggressive CO2 settings. RF microneedling can leave a temporary grid-like pattern of small marks where the needles entered.

Less common but important: burns or thermal injury, prolonged redness, infection, changes in pigmentation, and scarring. Risk rises with deeper settings and in skin that is more prone to pigment change.

Cold sores. Resurfacing can trigger a recurrence, so tell your provider if you have a history of them. Preventive antiviral medication is often advised before treatment.

Eye protection. Laser light can cause serious eye injury. Protective eyewear is worn throughout, and the eye area is shielded when work is carried out nearby.

Before any lesion is treated. A skin lesion must be identified before it is removed or destroyed. Treating a lesion without knowing what it is can remove something that needed a diagnosis. If there is any doubt, assessment or biopsy comes first.

Treatment is generally avoided over active infection and in certain skin conditions. Recent tanning, some medications and a history of pigment changes or keloid scarring all affect suitability. Careful aftercare and sun protection matter to the result.

Conditions It May Help Address

Concerns connected to this technology.

The relationship between a technology and a concern depends on the treatment plan, patient assessment, and how the technology is being used.

Acne

Acne is a skin condition that can affect people of all ages and skin types. Our physicians assess what is happening in your skin and help you choose an appropriate medical treatment, maintenance and preventive plan as well as your at-home skincare.

→

Loose or Crepey Skin

Reduced firmness and mild tissue descent related to aging and the decline of collagen and elastin.

→

Neck Laxity and Neck Lines

Loose neck skin, horizontal creases, or visible muscle bands that can reduce definition of the neck and jawline.

How Secret PRO fits into your care

Secret PRO is used within an individualized treatment plan rather than a fixed protocol: which capability is used, at what depth or intensity, and whether it is combined with other options is decided through a physician-led assessment matched to your skin and goals. With extensive physician-led experience in laser and energy-based skin treatment, settings and pacing are chosen conservatively, and realistic expectations are set before treatment begins.

FAQ

Questions about Secret PRO.

The fractional CO2 laser works mainly on and near the skin surface to help texture and tone, while RF microneedling delivers heat deeper in the skin through fine needles to stimulate collagen and tightening. They can be used separately or combined, and a clinician decides which suits your concern.

Recovery varies with which technology is used and how intensively. RF microneedling often involves redness and swelling for a few days, while more aggressive CO2 resurfacing typically involves a longer period of redness, peeling and healing. Your clinician can outline what to expect based on your specific plan.

This depends on the concern, your skin and how the two technologies are combined. Some plans use a single more intensive resurfacing session, while others use a series of lighter treatments. A physician-led assessment can give you a more realistic picture for your goals.

Both fractional resurfacing and RF microneedling are used for certain types of scarring, including some acne scars and stretch marks, but results vary with the scar type, its age and your skin. Whether treatment is appropriate, and which approach, is best determined during an assessment.
