How the Secret Duo works
The secret of the Secret Duo lies in the intelligent combination of two active principles that reinforce each other. The first part of the treatment uses radio frequency microneedling. Here, ultra-fine gold-plated needles penetrate the dermis in a controlled manner and emit a precise radio frequency pulse at their tips. This thermal energy leads to immediate tightening of the collagen fibres and initiates a long-term regeneration process. As the heat is released directly at depth, the skin surface remains largely intact, making the treatment particularly safe.
This process is complemented by the fractional 1540 nm erbium glass laser. Unlike ablative lasers, this system is non-ablative. This means that the laser projects micro-heat columns into the skin without damaging the protective barrier of the epidermis. This light energy stimulates cell renewal and helps to reduce pigmentation irregularities and refine the pore structure. At The Eram Clinic, we use the Secret Duo to achieve multidimensional skin rejuvenation. The synergy of mechanical stimulation, radio frequency and laser light ensures that the skin not only appears smoother on the surface, but is also stabilised and firmed throughout its entire structure.
From facelifts to scar revision
Due to its dual nature, the Secret Duo is an extremely flexible all-rounder that is used in our Zurich clinic for a wide range of aesthetic issues. One focus is on what is known as ‘face remodelling’. Here, we treat sagging skin on the cheeks, smooth out wrinkles around the mouth and tighten the sensitive skin on the neck. The treatment is ideal for patients who want a significant lifting result but want to avoid the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
Another area of application in which the Secret Duo sets new standards is the treatment of scars and stretch marks. The combination of thermal energy and fractional laser light breaks down irregular scar tissue and replaces it with fresh, healthy collagen. We also achieve impressive results with large-pored skin or an uneven complexion. As we can individually adjust the intensity of both technologies, the treatment can be tailored precisely to your skin type and personal pain tolerance. At The Eram Clinic, we combine technical expertise with a keen sense of aesthetics to give you a complexion that radiates calm and vitality.
Why the Secret Duo is the excellent choice for your skin renewal
Choosing the Secret Duo is choosing efficiency. As two treatments take place in one session, you save valuable time and benefit from a deeper effect than individual therapies could offer.
The procedure is suitable for almost all skin types and is characterised by a very short regeneration phase. While conventional lasers often cause redness for many days, the skin is usually only reddened for a short time after a Secret Duo session and is socially presentable again after a short time. It is the ideal solution for people with a demanding lifestyle who do not want to compromise on the quality of their skin care.

Holistic approach: synergies for perfect results
At The Eram Clinic, we view every device-based treatment as part of a larger whole. To optimally support the regeneration processes initiated by the Secret Duo, we often combine the procedure with the administration of exosomes or polynucleotides. These active ingredients can penetrate particularly deeply through the microchannels created by the needling and massively accelerate healing and collagen production. Accompanying dental hygiene also ensures that your smile is as radiant as your newly rejuvenated skin.
Aftercare following a Secret Duo treatment is straightforward. We recommend gently cleansing the skin for the first 24 hours and caring for it with the regenerative serums we recommend. Intensive exercise, saunas and direct sunlight should be avoided for about a week so as not to irritate the skin unnecessarily. As the formation of the new collagen structure is a biological process, the final result develops over a period of several weeks and months. Our specialists will guide you through this rejuvenation process and create an individual treatment plan to ensure the long-term vitality of your skin.

Frequently asked questions about Secret Duo
Classic microneedling works purely mechanically. The Secret Duo adds two further levels to this process: radio frequency delivers heat directly into the deeper layers for greater tightening, while the erbium laser simultaneously refines the skin's surface. This results in a much more intensive and comprehensive effect.
A slight tightening effect due to the contraction of collagen fibres is often noticeable shortly after treatment. The structural result – refinement of the pores and firming of the tissue – becomes progressively apparent over a period of 4 to 12 weeks as the body builds up new collagen.
As we apply a strong local anaesthetic cream before treatment, the procedure is very well tolerated by most patients. You will only feel slight pressure and a brief sensation of warmth.
The Secret Duo is a very safe system. As the laser is non-ablative, the skin barrier remains intact, which minimises the risk of infection. Nevertheless, consistent sun protection after treatment is mandatory to prevent pigmentation changes.
Yes, the system is excellent for tightening sagging skin on the upper arms or for treating stretch marks on the abdomen. The parameters are adjusted according to the tissue density.
