RF Microneedling in Huntington Beach, CA
RF microneedling using the Fraxis Duo Secret RF hand piece is a minimally-invasive non-surgical and non-ablative procedure use to rejuvenate the appearance of skin texture, pores, scarring, laxity, and wrinkling of the skin. This rejuvenation involves the use of a microneedling and heat (RF) to stimulate collagen induction.

What is radiofrequency microneedling?
The fine needle punctures is used in conjunction with radio frequency pulses to deliver heat to the dermis and creates a micro-wound. The controlled injury triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin in the dermis. This treatment leads to reduction of scars and skin rejuvenation, i.e., improved skin texture, firmness and hydration. This procedure can be done on all skin types. This treatment is done in conjunction with BENEV exosomes.
What is RF microneedling used for?

Does RF microneedling treat brown spots?
No. RF microneedling works on the structure of the skin — collagen, texture, scarring, laxity — not on pigment. For sunspots, age spots and brown discoloration we use light and laser treatments that target pigment directly: IPL photofacial, Clear + Brilliant, or Fraxel Dual.
If you have both — texture or scarring alongside sun spots — the two are often planned as separate treatments rather than expecting one device to do both.
How does Secret RF work?
Secret RF is a radio frequency (RF) microneedling device that effectively rebuilds and revitalizes skin. Using controlled RF energy, Secret RF delivers heat into deeper layer of the skin to firm up tissue, remodel collagen, improve mild wrinkles, and diminish scars, all while leaving the outer layer of the skin intact.
What happens during an RF microneedling appointment?
Topical numbing goes on for about 30 minutes before we start, so allow for that on top of the treatment itself. Once the skin is numb, the handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering the needles and the radiofrequency energy together.
What is the downtime after RF microneedling?
Plan on three to four days. The skin is red and feels warm and tight immediately afterward, similar to a sunburn, and there is usually some swelling on the first day. A fine grid pattern from the needles may be visible for a day or two as it settles.
Keep the skin clean and moisturised, stay out of the sun, and hold off on active skincare — retinoids, acids, scrubs — until the redness has fully settled.
How many RF microneedling treatments will I need?
We generally recommend a course of one to three treatments, depending on what is being addressed and how your skin responds. Deeper acne scarring and more established laxity usually need the full course; texture and pore size often respond sooner.
How long until I see results?
The first change is usually in skin texture and brightness within a couple of weeks, but the part that matters most takes longer. New collagen is laid down gradually and continues building for around three months after treatment, so the fuller result is not what you see at your two-week check — it arrives quietly over the following weeks.
What are exosomes?
BENEV Exosome treatments are based on the most cutting edge scientific biotech breakthrough for skin rejuvenation and regeneration. Exosomes fat stem cells that are responsible for cell to cell communication and for facilitating the exchange of RNA and other important proteins between cells (e.g. fibroblasts, keratinocytes, immune cells, etc.), in addition to transferring numerous growth factors and cytokines and genetic materials that have shown signs of tissue repair and improving skin cells. These data coding avatars have been harnessed for our new line of exosome products to promote a more radiant youthful appearance.
