Dr Nestor’s Clinic in Edinburgh is the ONLY Scottish stockist of Secret DUO. At our clinic we customise each patient’s treatment to their individual needs. In this blog, we’ll delve into the features, benefits, and applications of the state-of-the-art device which we’re loving at Dr Nestor’s Clinic…
What is the Secret Duo?
The Secret Duo is a versatile and multifunctional device designed to address a wide range of skin concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sagging skin and stretch marks. It combines three cutting-edge technologies: micro-needling, radio frequency (RF) and an erbium glass laser. This unique combination allows for a comprehensive and effective treatment experience at Dr Nestor’s Clinic, delivering remarkable results.
What do we mean by micro-needling?
Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using tiny needles. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, resulting in the production of collagen and elastin. This process helps to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimise scars, and enhance overall skin tone and elasticity. It’s the secret to skin rejuvenation.
How does radio frequency energise your skin?
Radio frequency technology utilises energy waves to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. This energy-based treatment is non-invasive and can effectively target areas that have lost firmness, such as the face, neck, and body. Radio frequency treatments help to improve skin laxity, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and enhance overall skin tone and texture.
What is an Erbium Glass Laser?
Lasers have been a game changer in the world of aesthetics and medical grade treatments. The Secret DUO erbium glass 1540 nm non-ablative fractional laser is a versatile and effective treatment for collagen stimulation in the skin and youthful glow. It is a treatment which will assist in the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars and uneven skin tone giving you healthier, smoother, and more youthful looking skin.
The combination of Micro-needling, Radio-frequency and Laser
By combining micro-needling with radio frequency energy, the Secret Duo offers a comprehensive treatment approach. The micro-needles create tiny channels in the skin, allowing the radio frequency energy to penetrate deeper and more effectively. This synergy promotes enhanced collagen production, resulting in superior skin rejuvenation and tightening, using the laser on top of the needling RF treatment gives the skin the ultimate glow.
