Patient Testimonials
Find out all about how radiofrequency microneedling can rejuvenate your skin. Morpheus 8 vs Secret RF comparison. Explanation by Dr Ravi Jain.
Overview
No matter how strict your skincare regime is, it’s impossible to fight the clock for long. We understand that a changing appearance can change how you feel about yourself. As we get older, our hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin levels breakdown, which can make the skin look loose and saggy.
Secret RF is the latest anti-aging technology that safely and effectively rejuvenates the skin as well as improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, acne scars and also stretchmarks. Dr Jain is delighted to bring this new treatment to patients at the clinic as it offers excellent results with a great safety profile. The long-lasting results will ensure an enduring impression that will make you smile for months to come.
It’s extremely effective when used to treat acne scarring, scars, stretch marks and similar skin blemishes. We’re very pleased it’s not really a secret anymore!
Collagen is the single most abundant protein in the human body but as time goes by, we produce less and less of it resulting in a loss of fullness and elasticity in the skin. By stimulating the production of collagen, we can once again achieve buoyant, firm and youthful looking skin while also reducing the appearance of scarring. The results are so natural that no one will ever know you’ve had anything done and with minimal down time you can be back to enjoying your life within hours.
The benefits
Our treatment
We look forward to welcoming you to Riverbanks Wellness. If you’ve been looking in the mirror lately and wondering where the old you went, we can help. Enter Secret RF, our new treatment which gives back youthful-looking skin through reduced wrinkles and smaller pores.
Secret RF
As featured in
I have smaller pores and less acne scarring. Started with a numbing session for about 30mins. Following that, microneedles were used to gently penetrate the skin and RF energy was used to damage the skin cells. After about 10 days, I noticed my skin having smaller pores and the acne scar faded. Skin overall looks tighter.
I am almost at my final session of Secret RF (3 of 4). I can honestly say that Sonal has been brilliant. My acne scars have improved enormously. There is a difference on my face, neck and décolletage generally and people have noticed that I am looking different but no one can figure out why.
