XScar Treatment (Secret Duo)

If you want to get younger and better-looking skin, Shens Medical is here to help. We offer you an array of treatments that can give you healthy skin with better texture.

XScar Treatment (Secret Duo) is a combination of treatments that involves microneedle radiofrequency and fractional erbium glass laser. It’s a novel procedure that offers no downtime or disruption of daily activities. Skin rejuvenation and high satisfaction rates are guaranteed. You will notice a continuous improvement in your complexion for months after the procedure is over. And you can have repeat sessions to maintain beautiful results.

The micro-needling bipolar RF technology provides controlled RG energy to the skin, keeping the rest of the surface intact. You can adjust the desired depths on the device (0.5mm–3.5mm), which makes the procedure super customisable and personalised.

The 1540nm Erbium Glass fractional non-ablative laser delivers heat into the dermis and has no ablative effect on the top layer of the skin. Meaning, the epidermis is not damaged, which promotes faster healing times and reduces the possibility of side effects.

Treatment Process

Before the procedure begins, the doctor will take a look at your skin and review your medical history to determine if you are a candidate for XScar Treatment. Numbing cream will provide comfort during the procedure.
The treatment is done in two steps: during phase one the RF microneedling is used and that is followed up with an erbium glass laser. All this energy is delivered to the skin with a handheld device.
It takes a total of 60 minutes to carry out the treatment. Since the technology is milder on the skin, it takes 4-5 sessions for the results to build and they should be performed at intervals of 6-8 weeks.

What to Do Before the Treatment

Dr Shens will give you more details on that but, generally speaking, you should avoid prolonged sun exposure and pause the use of retinol creams 3-5 days prior to your appointment. If you have scheduled other skin resurfacing procedures, make sure to leave a one-month gap in between. Also, if you happen to develop a rash on the day before the treatment, please reschedule.

Recovery Period

There is virtually no downtime with this treatment, so you can safely continue with your activities and responsibilities. That being said, there are some post-treatment care tips to follow.
For example, you might find it necessary to apply cold compresses to your face to ease the discomfort. OTC medications might be offered by the doctor. Another thing to consider is that you should avoid wearing makeup two days after the procedure.
