How the Secret appliance works
Fraxis (Secret) technology works using fine needles, usually 25 needles located in the handle of the device. These needles penetrate the outer layers of the skin down to the deep layers of the skin, where the fine needles reach different depths of the skin depending on the nature of the treatment, ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 mm. These needles facilitate the process of radio waves ( RF ) reaching the deep layers of the skin, as these waves raise temperatures, which stimulates the process of building collagen and elastin proteins in the skin and increases its elasticity.
The process of inserting micro-needles also contributes to the elimination of damaged and damaged skin cells and provides the opportunity to build new skin cells, in addition to the role of micro-needles in the process of improving blood circulation in the treated area and getting the skin better nourished than before.
This process reduces the size of the pores in the skin and gets rid of the signs of aging and aging and get tighter and younger skin, in addition to treating facial scars and getting rid of acne scars and small skin patches and get clearer and younger skin.
Micro-needles also target the spider veins in the skin with the aim of damaging and coagulating these veins. Over time, the body works to get rid of naturally damaged spider veins, and the patient gets a clear skin free of spider veins.

It then determines the appropriate length of the needles and the level of energy emitted from them, depending on the treated area and the results you wish to obtain. After that, the doctor places the handle of the Fraxis device on the skin on a regular basis, as it allows micro-needles to enter the skin in conjunction with the arrival of reciprocating energy waves inside the skin, and then repeats the process to cover the entire area under treatment. After the end of the treatment session, the doctor applies a moisturizing cream to the skin to keep it from drying out.
