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 Chinese Machine 

What Secret is supposed to look like:

 product-Secret-RF

 

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 device?

I think I'm going to raise this with him but not sure what his response will be. Anybody got any ideas how to tackle this? Should I ask for a refund?

Honestly, you should, but chances are that you won't receive your money back. Tough luck, seriously, some people are just completely oblivious to the harm they do to others.

145 with PRP and nothing negative thankfully. He's treated others with the same machine and they haven't had negative effects so I'm hopeful my case will be the same.

The annoying thing is that the machine probably doesn't do much but my only concern now is that it hasn't done any damage.

Well this is def. some cheap machine. Cost for Genius Lutronic full face is about 1000 Euro.

I wonder if it makes much diff. what type of machine they use, its still needles and some energy delivered, if it has insulated needles , it should be ok

I only had a small area on my forehead treated. Yeah it's still needles and RF energy. I'm sure the technology is probably much the same but obviously not happy he lied about the brand, claiming it was a leading one in Secret that has verified results.

145 with prp? I spent over 2kfor 3 genius rf session. I know I was at the high end but $200 seems crazy low

Never mind, didnt read the whole thread. Only a small area treated.

ive met anil but decided against treatment, i got a strange vibe

Your picture doesnt look anything like the Secret RF I checked out during my consultation for it in December. Where it says Micro Needle RF should lead you to believe the machine is a knock off. Id ask for my $$ back if you were told it was Secret or any other brand name.

Are you saying you went to Dr Anil and saw the secret rf machine when you had a consultation with him?

Yeah, I didn't notice this until after the procedure when I looked back at the photo. I've healed now which was my main concern. I will email him tomorrow and ask for an explanation and refund.

@jwebs91hi, I think Anil is a lier. I want to go to him for acne scar treatments but the reason I didnt go is that I think hes a lier. He has posted many pictures of other patientson his Instagram page and acted as if its his own patients/treatments .. So now I see he lies about his devices too.. strange doctor

What I know about Anil...when I was mistreated by Chu, it happened at the 2d office, itturned to be that Chu and Anil worked together at this office,heard them talking, they know each other well. Now Chu is retired so Anil is at this office. So he lies about the patients and machines.. well good to know and Not to go to him..

True.But if dr anil presents it as a secret rf treatment then there is something about his credibility and integrity that is under question.

Following this veryclosely. I had my first session last year of prp/tca/subcisionand 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 hes using? Im dreading going back for more...It was a very traumatic experience.

Did you see any improvement after your first treatment?

Did the doc put numbing cream on and leave it for 30-60 min before wiping off and proceeding? If this machine is that painful the numbing cream plus an opioid is the way to go. I don't think RF needling is worth doing if your pain level is a 10 tbh.
