SkinPen & Secret RF Microneedling

FDA-cleared SkinPen microneedling and Secret RF radiofrequency-assisted microneedling are available at this Phoenix dermatology clinic for skin texture improvement, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and uneven tone. Suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types. A series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is standard. Treatments are performed by board-certified dermatologists and trained aestheticians.

Microneedling at this Phoenix dermatology clinic is delivered through two proven platforms: SkinPen, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, and Secret RF, a radiofrequency-assisted system that adds thermal energy to reach deeper dermal layers. SkinPen works by creating thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin surface, triggering the body's natural collagen and elastin production cascade without removing the outer layer. This makes it suitable year-round and across all Fitzpatrick skin types — an important consideration for Phoenix patients dealing with significant cumulative sun exposure. Secret RF elevates the treatment by pairing microneedle penetration with bipolar radiofrequency energy delivered directly into the dermis. The combined thermal and mechanical stimulus produces greater remodeling of collagen fibers, making it particularly effective for deeper acne scars, lax skin, enlarged pores, and fine lines. Treatment sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes, and most patients experience mild redness for 24 to 48 hours afterward. A full course of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance sessions twice yearly to sustain results. The clinic's board-certified dermatologists and trained aestheticians personalize the needle depth and RF energy settings to each patient's skin condition and goals. Phoenix's dry desert climate can accelerate post-treatment healing while also making consistent broad-spectrum sun protection essential. Patients are advised to use SPF 30 or higher daily throughout their treatment course.
