In the world of aesthetic rejuvenation, the SecretTM PRO by Cutera® (Brisbane, Calif.) is revolutionizing treatments for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. Combining the power of a CO2 laser with radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, this device stands alone as a premier technology that provides comprehensive skin resurfacing with deep dermal remodeling, all on one platform.
The customizable CO2 laser scanner of the Secret PRO delivers uniform energy to fractionally ablate the outmost layers of the epidermis, while the powerful RF energy reaches the deep dermal layers during microneedling, allowing physicians to treat all skin layers with customized solutions and depths. The results are improved collagen remodeling, increased hyaluronic acid production and flexible downtime for total skin rejuvenation.

Ashish C. Bhatia, MD, associate professor of Clinical Dermatology at Northwestern University and co-founder of Oak Dermatology in Chicago, Ill. reported, “The Secret PRO is unique, because it is a best- in-class RF microneedle device and fractional CO2 laser in one unit. It is one of the fastest and most powerful CO2’s on the market, but it is also one of the most customizable. And on the RF side, it is one of the smoothest.” The Secret PRO utilizes both non-insulated and semi-insulated needles that can deliver RF energy at depths from 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm for an optimal patient experience and individualized results.
Customizable treatments that provide exceptional outcomes are the standout feature of this innovative device. Michael Somenek, MD, facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and co-founder of Somenek + PittmanMD in Washington, D.C., explained that the Secret PRO improves patient satisfaction. “I think the best thing about this platform is that you can treat a wide variety of skin concerns ranging from minor texture changes, fine lines and wrinkles to severe sun damage, deep lines and wrinkles. I use the combination of RF and CO2 as one treatment and tend to use slightly higher settings, giving the patient great results.”
The fractional CO2 scanning handpiece covers a 20x20 mm area with six adjustable scan patterns and nine scan modes for versatility, while the RF microneedling handpiece offers 25-pin and 64-pin tips that deliver RF energy to precise depths. The combination allows physicians to choose from four customized treatments, Dr. Bhatia stated. “The first treatment is a fractional CO2 micro-peel, which stimulates collagen and treats photodamage and surface irregularities with minimal downtime. The second is a more aggressive fractional CO2 laser treatment, with up to seven days of downtime. The third utilizes a series of customized RF microneedling treatments that provide deep collagen renewal. Lastly, the fractional CO2 layered over RF provides maximal results in a single treatment, for more severe conditions such as scarring or severe photo-aging.”
Patients enjoy the intensity control of the treatment so even those who cannot afford much downtime can enjoy the benefits of the Secret PRO. Dr. Somenek sees his business enjoying benefits, as well. “Many devices cater to a specific type of person, but the Secret PRO treats a range of indications on many skin types and ages. It really is a truly customizable device and has one of the top ROIs because it caters to so many people,” he expressed.
With versatility that promotes patient throughout and optimal results, the Secret PRO is a device that can revitalize patients’ skin while revolutionizing aesthetic practices.
