Secret DUO in San Antonio, TX

Secret® DUO is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines radiofrequency microneedling with non ablative fractional laser technology. This dual approach stimulates collagen, tightens skin, improves tone, and smooths texture for comprehensive rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

What Is Secret DUO?

Secret® DUO is a next generation device created by Cutera®. It pairs the collagen stimulating power of Secret® RF microneedling with a 1540 nm fractional erbium glass laser. The combination allows your provider to target both the deep dermis and the skin surface in a single treatment, addressing multiple concerns at once.

How Secret DUO Works

  • RF Microneedling: Fine needles create micro-channels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy into the dermis. This remodels collagen and elastin, improving wrinkles, scars, and laxity.
  • 1540 nm Fractional Laser: Non ablative laser energy resurfaces the top layer of skin, reducing pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone.

Skin Concerns Secret DUO Can Help With

Secret DUO can also improve:

  • Large pores
  • Stretch marks
  • Overall skin quality and radiance
  • Pigment irregularities

Who Is a Good Candidate for Secret DUO?

Secret® DUO is ideal for men and women who want to improve both skin texture and surface concerns without significant downtime. It’s a great option if you are looking to reduce fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, or uneven tone, while also addressing overall skin laxity. Most healthy adults with mild to moderate skin concerns are good candidates, and treatments can be customized for a variety of skin types.

What to Expect During Treatment

A Secret® DUO treatment usually lasts 30 to 60 minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The microneedling component feels like a warm prickling, while the laser creates a gentle heating sensation. Skin may appear red or slightly swollen for a few days, but downtime is minimal compared to aggressive resurfacing lasers.

Benefits of Secret DUO

How Long Do Secret DUO Results Last?

Most clients notice initial improvements within a few weeks. Because collagen remodeling takes time, results continue to improve over several months. A series of 3 to 4 treatments provides optimal results, and maintenance sessions can prolong the benefits for 12 to 18 months or more.

What Makes Secret DUO Different From Secret RF?

While Secret® RF focuses on collagen stimulation through microneedling with radiofrequency energy, Secret DUO adds a fractional laser component to also address surface concerns such as pigmentation and uneven tone. This makes Secret® DUO a more comprehensive treatment for clients who want improvement in both deeper structure and skin clarity.
