Following this very closely. I had my first session last year of prp/tca/subcision and RF- although not all on the same day. The pain for the RF was horrific...I cried my eyes out. Could this be because of the machine he™s using? I™m dreading going back for more...It was a very traumatic experience.

Had RF needling with Dr Anil today in London.

At my consultation he told me the machine is Secret RF but, this does not look like Secret.

I'm concerned that he's for some reason lied about the brand of machine he used on me?

I've found the same machine online and it looks like a random brand China:

 

What Secret is supposed to look like:

 

 

I'm concerned that he's using a cheap imported RF machine and telling people it's an FDA approved device.

Can anyone confirm that this definitely isn't an old/different model Secret RF

I've had really bad experience with this doctor!!!

Sorry, I don't mean to bash doctors here, I'm just being honest and trying to prevent others from choosing the wrong specialist.

Did you get a refund or at least some explanation when you emailed him?

What happened and who are you seeing now?

@hsd870 results. More scars.

Right now I'm saving up money to see Dr Henningsen in acouple of months and maybe have Genius RF, subcision and Sculptra.

Sorry to hear that. Seems like most people from the uk are going to this guy! Hope it goes well

I hope so too. There are so many good reviews on Dr. Emil. Really looking forward to seeing a good doctor for a change. I've had my fair share of fraud dermatologists!

hi,can you be more specific how you ended up with more scars? its good for us all to know. Thank you for the warning. Dr Henningsen is really good, ive been to him twice after a very dodgy consultation with dr anil.

Hi. The usual. Two wider scars from TCA cross and new scars from the nokor entry points, that arestill there after months. I really hate bashing on doctors but sometimes I have to because I'm angry with the wasted time and money and hopes. Dr Anil was a mistake for me.

I'd like to add that you can tell Anil you don't want his combo treatment, which I think is too much all at once. I was adamant I just wanted cannula subcision and filler and so that's what he did.

Same thing happened to me, two scars wider from TCA, although I think scar widening can happen with any doctor to be honest. One has faded but the other is still there slightly. I also got an incision scar but it's also fading slowly.

Sorry to hear that.

I'm done with the UK based doctors. My advice would be to savd up money and travel to Dr Emil in Denmark if you can. At least there are many people on this forun who can attest he's a good dermatologist. Besides, he's the only one in Europe who offers Genius RF.

I have an appointment booked with Dr Anil today !!! He suggested me to do RF microneedling + PRP and TCA Cross to get rid of the scars and large pores... I am worried now after what I just read! I am so desperate I really had a good impression at our first appointment

Hi all

I remember this thread from a while ago. I also had treatment with this machine and although I didn't get any negative side effects I do remember it being quite painful.

To update you all, Dr Anil is now using Infini RF instead of this machine. I took a photo of it as proof to show you that this one isn't a fake device:

I've been waiting a long time to try infini for my acne scars but found it pretty much impossible to find a doctor in London who did it until now. Most doctors in London keep pushing people towards laser from my experience. They only care about your money it seems! Dr Anil however is probably the cheapest you'll find when it comes to prices. 

To the person in this thread who complained about being in pain, I've tried both machines now and infini is definitely less painful. I can tell that the motor is stronger on this device. It still hurts but for me it was like a 6/10 pain (others might still find it painful though).

Hopefully I get some improvements with this device since I keep hearing good things about it.

I've seen Dr Anil about 4 times now spaced out in a year or two and will continue to see him if I keep seeing improvements, especially now that he's got infini!

Did you get any improvement from the fake Secret machine?

Hard to tell to be honest since I've had subcision and tca too and I only tried that machineonce.

Maybe only slightly, nothing noticeable.

Is dr Anil good at tca cross?
