Discover RF Microneeding
Welcome to Artavi Med Spa, where we proudly offer Secret RF, an innovative microneedling treatment that enhances skin by reducing signs of aging, fine lines, wrinkles, and scars with minimal downtime. Secret RF delivers fractional Radio Frequency (RF) energy into various skin levels for optimal results across all skin types, providing a great alternative to a facelift.
We offer two levels of treatment: basic Secret RF for minimal downtime and comfort, and advanced Secret RF. The advanced treatment is more aggressive for more visible results and tightening. Most of the online photos seen have been treated using this advanced setting. There is a couple more days of downtime with this treatment but results are undeniable. This treatment includes prescription after care products for improved healing and recovery.
SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES

RADIO FREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING VS TRADITIONAL MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling Guide
Traditional Microneedling utilizes fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process and boosts collagen production. This treatment is highly effective for general skin rejuvenation, improving minor scarring, fine lines, and pigmentation issues, with minimal side effects and recovery time.
RF Microneedling combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy, making it particularly potent for individuals seeking more intense results. The added RF energy not only reaches deeper layers of the skin but also accelerates collagen and elastin production, leading to more noticeable improvements in skin firmness and reduction of deeper scars and wrinkles. While RF Microneedling might involve slightly more downtime, its outcomes are often more dramatic, making it a preferred choice for those wanting more visible rejuvenation.
