Treatment Overview
Secret RF for Acne Scar & Skin Firming in Korea is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment designed to address acne scars while simultaneously tightening and rejuvenating the skin. Using Secret RF microneedling technology, fractional radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, remodel scar tissue, and enhance overall skin firmness.
Korean dermatologists often combine this treatment with Juvelook skin boosters for additional hydration, improved texture, and a more youthful, plump appearance. The procedure is highly customizable, adjusting needle depth, RF energy, and treatment vectors to target acne scars, sagging, and fine lines precisely.
