What is SecretDUO?
SecretDUO is the latest upgrade on the well known SecretRF treatment- combining two technologies- Radiofrequency Microneedling “RF Microneedling” with a 1540nm non ablative Erbium Glass laser. A treatment has two parts- RF microneedling is first performed to stimulate collagen production in the deeper skin layer, followed by laser skin tightening of the superficial skin. Together, the two treatments combine to provide an effective, no downtime treatment for a variety of skin concerns such as: acne scars, pores, loose skin, facial sagging, fine lines, eye bags, cellulite and stretch marks1,2.
How does SecretDUO work?
During the process of RF microneedling, fine gold tipped needles are passed through the skin and emit radiofrequency energy, which triggers a controlled wound healing process that stimulates collagen and elastin production in the deeper layer of the skin. Next, the 1540nm non ablative Erbium Glass laser generates columns of heat in the superficial layer of the skin- causing existing collagen to contract to give a skin tightening effect. Throughout the process, the surface layer of the skin known as the epithelium is spared, leading to a quicker recovery process and lower risk of complications.
By using specialized transducers, Ulthera can precisely direct ultrasound energy to specific depths beneath the skin—namely, 4.5mm, 3mm, and 1.5mm. Focusing energy into concentrated points within the thermal coagulation zones allows temperatures under the skin to surpass 60°C.
This elevated temperature initiates a process known as neo-collagenesis in the targeted area, stimulating the production of new collagen, and reduced skin laxity, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance.
At 1.5mm
The focus at 1.5mm targets the dermis, addressing more superficial layers and areas with thinner skin, such as the forehead and temples. This effectively addresses fine lines and tightens the skin on the dermis.
At 3.0mm
The focus at 3.0mm transducers address the deep layers of the dermis, targeting the skin structure to stimulate collagen growth. Additionally, at this depth, it also targets fat.
At 4.5mm
The magic of lifting takes place at a depth of 4.5mm. Using the 4.5mm transducer, the physician can precisely target and treat the Subcutaneous Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer. The SMAS is a crucial fibrous network comprising muscle, collagen, and elastic fibres—the very layer targeted by plastic surgeons during a surgical facelift.

Results were definitely very apparent and fast
Very good service from Dr Bernard! He sat me down for a long, thorough consultation and explanation of not just the service I was interested in, but of other similar treatments just so I could make a better comparison and final decision, with no pressure into deciding anything on the spot as well. Tried Ultherapy and Pico Sure Laser treatments on two different occasions, and each time I felt very well taken care of. I’m scared of pain, but the team and Dr Bernard always knew how to minimize any pain and ensure I always felt good with his steady hands. Results were definitely very apparent and fast. ...read more read less
