Secret PRO is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines two clinically proven technologies in one device: fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling.

By treating both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, Secret PRO improves texture, firmness and overall skin quality in a comprehensive way.

Secret PRO can be performed using CO₂ Fractional Ablation alone, radiofrequency microneedling alone, or a combination of both.

Most patients see noticeable improvements after a single treatment session. However, optimal results typically develop over 4-6 weeks as collagen remodeling continues. For more significant concerns, a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended by your dermatologist.

No. Secret PRO can be performed using CO₂ Fractional Ablation alone, radiofrequency microneedling alone, or a combination of both.

CO₂ Fractional Ablation utilises a high-powered fractional CO₂ laser to deliver stable energy in short pulses, creating an ablative thermal effect that precisely resurfaces the skin. By targeting the epidermis with precision and control, it removes aged and damaged skin and stimulates the body's natural healing process. The thermal effect also promotes collagen contraction and production.

Radiofrequency microneedling addresses the deeper layers of the skin. Multiple fine needles create microchannels while delivering radiofrequency energy, stimulating the production of capillaries, elastin and collagen. By reaching multiple depths within the skin, it promotes renewal and improves texture at a structural level.

When combined, these technologies work at both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. However, depending on your skin concerns, goals and recovery preference, either modality may be selected individually following consultation.

CO₂ Fractional Ablation is a high-powered fractional CO₂ laser treatment that precisely resurfaces the skin.

It delivers stable energy in short pulses, creating an ablative thermal effect that targets the epidermis with precision and control. This removes aged and damaged skin while stimulating the body's natural healing response.

As the skin renews, new, healthy cells replace the old ones. The thermal effect of the laser also promotes collagen contraction and production, contributing to firmer, more rejuvenated-looking skin.

Radiofrequency microneedling is a treatment that targets the deeper layers of the skin.

It uses multiple fine needles to create microchannels while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the production of capillaries, elastin and collagen.

By reaching multiple depths within the skin, radiofrequency microneedling promotes renewal and improves texture at a structural level, complementing surface-level resurfacing treatments.

Secret PRO is performed by the highly trained expert team in our Cosmetic Suite. An assessment of your skin is completed pre-treatment to determine the most appropriate plan for your individual skin concerns.

Secret PRO can improve:

• Fine lines and deeper wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven texture and tone
• Sun-damaged skin
• Crepey skin
• Stretch marks
• Surgical scars
• Acne scarring (once acne is fully inactive)
• Pigmentation

Secret PRO works in two complementary ways:

CO₂ Fractional Laser (Surface Renewal)
This resurfaces the outer layer of the skin by creating controlled micro-channels. It removes damaged skin cells and stimulates collagen production, improving texture and tone.

Radiofrequency Microneedling (Deep Remodelling)
Fine needles create tiny microchannels while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, strengthening and tightening the skin from within.

When combined, CO₂ refines the surface while RF rebuilds deeper structure. Results continue to improve over time as collagen remodels.

Secret PRO can be used on both the face and body. Common treatment areas include:

• Face
• Neck
• Décolletage
• Eye area (upper and lower eyelids)
• Areas with stretch marks or scarring

Your treatment plan will depend on your specific concerns.

Yes. Secret PRO is particularly beneficial for mature skin because it stimulates collagen and elastin production.

It can help improve:

• Etched lines
• Smoker's lines around the mouth
• Crepey texture
• Enlarged pores
• Skin laxity around the eyes

It may be considered as a non-surgical option for patients seeking improvement in skin firmness.

Yes, Secret PRO is highly effective for acne scarring. However, acne must be completely inactive before treating scars. If acne is still active, new scarring can continue to form.

Your skin will be assessed carefully before treatment is recommended.

It is recommended to wait six months after completing a course of isotretinoin (Roaccutane) before undergoing Secret PRO treatment. This allows the skin to fully recover and reduces the risk of complications.

Secret PRO can be delivered in different ways depending on your skin needs:

• RF Microneedling only
• Light CO₂ resurfacing
• Deeper CO₂ resurfacing
• Combination RF + CO₂ treatment

Your Cosmetic Suite practitioner will recommend the most appropriate option based on your skin condition, goals, and downtime preference.

A strong topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximise comfort, we also have an oral medication protocol for pain management, and also offer entonox nitrous oxide gas to make the procedure more comfortable. Your practitioner can discuss all options with you.

During the procedure, you will feel heat, pressure, or a prickling sensation. Most patients tolerate the treatment well.

Treatment time depends on the area being treated and the type of Secret PRO protocol used. Most sessions take approximately 30–60 minutes.

Downtime varies depending on the intensity of treatment.

RF Microneedling only:
Typically 2–3 days of redness and mild sensitivity.

CO₂ Resurfacing:
You may experience redness, swelling, and peeling. Recovery can range from 3–10 days depending on treatment depth.

Combination RF + CO₂:
Downtime may be 7 - 10 days depending on intensity.

Your practitioner will advise what to expect based on your personalised treatment plan.

Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear red and feel warm, similar to sunburn. Swelling may occur, particularly around the eyes.

If CO₂ resurfacing is used, small scabs or flaking may develop as the skin renews.

Dryness and tightness are common during the healing phase.

Some improvements are visible once initial healing is complete.

However, the most significant results develop gradually over 3–6 months as new collagen forms. Secret PRO is a treatment that continues to improve skin quality over time.

This depends on your skin concern and chosen treatment protocol.

RF microneedling is often performed as a course of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Deeper resurfacing treatments may show significant improvement after one session, though some patients benefit from additional treatments.

Typically 3 treatments are used for acne scarring.

Your practitioner will create a tailored plan for you.

Results are long-lasting, particularly when a full course is completed.

Maintenance treatments may be recommended every 12–18 months to maintain collagen stimulation and skin quality.

Yes. Secret PRO can treat both upper and lower eyelids to improve crepey skin, texture, and firmness.

Downtime for the eye area typically ranges from 3-7 days depending on intensity.

Yes. Secret PRO can be combined with additional therapies such as PRP or other regenerative treatments to support healing and enhance results.

Your practitioner will advise if combination treatment is appropriate for you.

Aftercare is essential to support healing and optimise results.

You will be advised to:

• Use gentle skincare only
• Avoid acids, retinoids, and active ingredients temporarily
• Avoid makeup initially
• Protect skin carefully from sun exposure
• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen once advised

You will receive detailed post-treatment instructions and a postcare pack of products to provide optimal healing and recovery during your healing phase.

Many patients choose cooler months when sun exposure is lower and downtime is easier to manage. However, treatment can be performed year-round with appropriate sun protection.

Suitability depends on your skin type, concern, medical history, and tolerance for downtime.

A consultation with the Cosmetic Suite team is required to determine whether Secret PRO is appropriate for your skin concerns and to design your personalised treatment plan.
