Fractional radiofrequency microneedling by Cutera® — for smoother texture, softer-looking acne scars and firmer-looking skin, with little downtime. Face + neck $600 in North Bergen, NJ.
Secret™ RF combines two proven approaches in one treatment. Ultra-fine needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin, and at the same time deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the surface. The heat from that energy triggers your skin’s natural healing response, which builds new collagen and elastin over the following weeks.
Because the energy goes below the surface instead of through it, Secret RF can treat deeper concerns like acne scarring and texture while keeping recovery short. Your provider sets the needle depth anywhere from 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm and chooses between two tip sizes, so the treatment is matched to each area of your face, neck or body.
Treatments are performed by our nurse practitioner Jihane, DNP, NP, under the supervision of our medical director, Dr. Chambless Johnston, MD.

We review your skin, goals and medical history, confirm Secret RF is the right fit, and plan your depth settings and number of sessions.
Topical numbing cream is applied for about 30–45 minutes so you stay comfortable.
Your provider works area by area, adjusting depth for each zone. Most clients feel pressure and warmth. Optional PRP or VAMP is applied into the fresh micro-channels.
Redness and mild swelling usually settle within a few days. Results build over 4–12 weeks as collagen forms, and many clients plan a series for deeper concerns.
Secret™ RF is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling system made by Cutera. Very fine needles create tiny channels in the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy at a precise depth, from 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm, to stimulate your skin’s own collagen production.
