RF microneedling in Vancouver
Understanding RF Microneedling.
RF microneedling builds smoother, firmer skin from within. It's a favourite for acne scarring, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores and early loss of firmness, the concerns that respond best to collagen remodelling.
At our clinic, RF microneedling is Secret RF microneedling on the Secret PRO platform, performed by our senior laser technicians under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame. Because the energy works beneath the surface, it's a good option for many skin tones.
Concerns & Goals
Concern guides connected to this treatment.
Acne Scars
Indented, raised, or uneven skin texture left after deeper acne inflammation.
Enlarged-Looking Pores
Visible pores and an irregular skin surface often linked to oil, acne, or aging.
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.
Stretch Marks & Surgical Scars
Changes in skin colour or texture from rapid stretching, injury, or surgical healing.

Treatment options at our clinic
Our trained laser technicians provide microneedling, which may be combined with selected topical products, including VAMP (PDRN), exosome-based skincare formulations and other professional skin-supporting serums. Product selection is based on your skin and our clinical protocols.
- Secret RF microneedling on the Secret PRO platform: our RF microneedling technology, for dermal remodelling, texture and collagen, performed by our senior laser technicians.
- VAMP (PDRN Salmon DNA): a topical formula applied after microneedling to support recovery and skin quality.
- HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser: for when surface texture and tone matter as much as depth.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma: prepared from your own blood, sometimes planned alongside a scar or texture course.
Many plans combine two of these, staged over several months.
What RF microneedling can improve
- Acne scarring, particularly depressed (atrophic) scars
- Stretch marks and scars, including some surgical scars
- Rough or uneven texture
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Early or mild laxity along the cheeks, jawline or neck
- Crepey, thinning skin
Who may benefit
RF microneedling suits people with scarring, texture change or early firmness loss who'd like gradual improvement and can plan for a few days of visible redness after each session.
Many skin tones can be treated. The energy is delivered below the pigment-containing surface, and settings are chosen conservatively for deeper skin tones.
Your medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at your consultation to confirm which option suits you.
Your consultation
You'll meet one of our senior laser technicians or cosmetic health and skincare advisors, who assess the type and depth of any scarring, your skin tone, how your skin has healed in the past and what you'd like to change.
We'll also ask about cold sores, any tendency to keloid scarring, isotretinoin use, blood thinners, pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices, metallic implants or permanent fillers in the area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and previous energy-based treatments.
You leave with a personal plan: the likely number of sessions and their spacing, what recovery involves, whether topical VAMP or exosome-based skincare suits your skin, and how much change to expect. Your treatment fee depends on the areas treated and the number of sessions in your plan, and it's explained at this visit.
Cosmetic consultations are complimentary. When you book a treatment, we take a card on file. New clients pay a $150 deposit that goes toward their treatment, and a $150 no-show fee applies if an appointment is missed.

Results and planning
What improves: the depth and shadowing of depressed acne scars, overall smoothness, the look of enlarged pores, mild crepiness and early firmness loss. Deep, narrow scars often do best with an additional technique alongside, and your plan includes it where helpful.
When change appears: skin may look smoother within a few weeks, and remodelling continues for months after a course, so your result is best judged well after the final session.
Your plan. RF microneedling is planned as a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart, with periodic maintenance if you'd like to hold your result. What a session is like, recovery and safety are set out with the Secret PRO technology.
What shapes your result: the type and age of the scarring, skin thickness, age, smoking, sun exposure, consistent sun protection afterwards and how you heal. Individual results vary.
Optimizing your results
Combining with HydraFacial. HydraFacial works well alongside RF microneedling. Once your skin has healed, sessions help keep it clear, hydrated and smooth between microneedling treatments, and our team will advise the right timing for your skin.
Your at-home skincare
Good skincare helps your skin come through treatment comfortably and protects your result.
Before: a calm, well-hydrated skin barrier tolerates treatment best. We may ask you to pause retinoids and exfoliating acids in the days beforehand.
Between sessions: once your skin has settled, a suitable routine helps hold texture and tone, and daily sun protection lowers the chance of post-treatment pigmentation. We'll let you know when to restart active ingredients.
Our team can recommend products, including exosome-based skincare, from our online shop.

FAQ
Questions about RF Microneedling.
Many people do, though you'll look visibly treated for a day or two. Swelling is often most noticeable the morning after, and you may see a faint grid of pinpoint marks. Booking late in the week gives you a couple of quiet days if you'd prefer.
Numbing cream is applied first and does most of the work. With it in place, each pulse feels like firm pressure and a brief warm prickle. Areas over bone, such as the forehead and jawline, are felt a little more.
Generally yes, which is one reason it's often chosen. The energy is released below the layer of skin that carries pigment, settings are kept conservative, and daily sun protection afterwards helps your skin heal evenly.
Please tell us when you book. Radiofrequency energy matters for pacemakers, defibrillators and similar devices, and metallic implants or permanent fillers in the area are also important to know about. Our team will confirm the safest plan for you, which may mean a different treatment.
Collagen remodelling builds over time, so treatment is planned as a course spaced several weeks apart. The number depends on your concern and is adjusted as your skin responds, and we'll map it out with you at your consultation.
