Secret RF - is device head replaced (or cleaned) after each procedure?

August 8, 2016
Asked By:daicheto in Amsterdam, MO

I am soon to do my second Secret RF procedure but I'm scared of a possible infection. After my first session, the doctor re-packaged the needles head and saved it. She said that it's individual and to be used only on me next time. I don't know whether the head was cleaned afterwards. Is it right to reuse it? Should the doctor sterilize the needles head BEFORE the SECOND procedure? I am worried that there might also be traces of blood or skin on those needles. Thank you.
