Cutera® Secret™️ Duo
Discover a younger-looking you. Wherever you need to build collagen, remodel tissue, enhance texture, or renew skin, Secret Duo is one of the best treatments available.
Secret Duo is a minimally invasive remodeling device that combines radiofrequency, microneedling, and laser resurfacing to tighten, improve texture, and promote new collagen and elastin.
How Secret Duo Works
Secret Duo is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production in the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues on the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more radiant youthful appearance.
Conditions Treated with Secret Duo
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The RF energy delivered by the Secret DUO penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Microneedling enhances this effect by creating micro-channels in the skin, which accelerates the body’s natural healing process. This dual approach tightens and smooths the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Skin Laxity
The combination of RF energy and microneedling works synergistically to tighten and firm the skin. RF energy heats the dermal layers, stimulating collagen remodeling, while microneedling creates a healing response. This results in firmer, more youthful skin and a reduction in mild sagging or loose skin.

Acne Scars
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which encourages the production of new, healthy skin cells. When combined with RF energy, this treatment can break down scar tissue and promote collagen remodeling in the deeper layers of the skin, leading to smoother skin with improved texture, tone, and a reduction in the appearance of acne scars.

Enlarged Pores
Microneedling with RF energy helps to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. This process can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by improving the overall texture and firmness of the skin, leading to smoother and more refined pores.

Stretch Marks
Stretch marks can be improved with Secret Duo. The microneedling stimulates the skin’s repair mechanisms, while the RF energy promotes collagen and elastin production. Together, these effects help to smooth and soften the appearance of stretch marks, making them less noticeable over time.

Uneven Skin Tone and Texture
The Secret Duo’s dual action encourages healthy skin regeneration by promoting collagen and elastin production. Microneedling creates micro-channels that stimulate the skin’s repair mechanisms, while RF energy works to even out tone and texture by targeting underlying skin issues. This makes the skin look smoother, more radiant, and even in tone.

Hyperpigmentation
The RF energy helps to break down pigment clusters in the skin, while microneedling promotes even skin turnover. This dual treatment improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and melasma by encouraging the skin to produce fresh, even-toned cells. Secret Duo is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones.

Secret Duo Procedure
Secret Duo is a versatile and effective option for those looking to improve multiple aspects of their skin’s appearance. By combining two powerful technologies, it offers long-lasting results that restore confidence and reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.
This advanced treatment is customizable for various skin types and concerns, making it ideal for areas like the face, neck, and décolletage. Whether reducing fine lines, minimizing scars, or evening out skin tone, Secret Duo achieves impressive results with minimal downtime, allowing patients to quickly return to their routines.
Secret Duo combines the power of fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling with non-ablative fractional laser technology to deliver comprehensive skin rejuvenation. RF microneedling works by stimulating collagen and elastin production deep within the skin, improving firmness, texture, and elasticity while addressing wrinkles and scars. Meanwhile, the non-ablative laser targets pigmentation and redness, enhancing skin clarity and tone without harming the outer layer.
