Scarlet RF Microneedling
tighten, lift, and firm.
Scarlet RF combines the collagen-inducing power of microneedling with targeted radiofrequency energy to deliver a level of skin tightening, lifting, and textural rejuvenation that traditional microneedling alone cannot achieve — with minimal downtime.

The treatment
What is Scarlet RF Microneedling?
The Scarlet is a state-of-the-art radiofrequency (RF) microneedling system utilizing fractional thermolysis. It features 25 non-insulated gold-plated microneedles that deliver bipolar RF energy throughout the entire depth of penetration, creating the Na Effect — a teardrop-shaped zone of coagulation that triggers a robust wound-healing cascade and the synthesis of new Type I collagen and elastin fibers.
Why patients choose it
The benefits
- 01Skin Tightening & Lifting. RF energy produces significant dermal contraction and remodeling for a visible lift
- 02Wrinkle Reduction. Fine lines and moderate wrinkles smoothed through structural collagen rebuilding
- 03Pore Refinement. Thermal coagulation shrinks pore size and improves texture
- 04Rosacea & Vascular Control. Regulates abnormal redness and vascular flushing
- 05Minimal Downtime. Mild redness for 24-48 hours — far less recovery than ablative alternatives
Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed.
Where we treat
Areas & concerns
Face & Neck Tightening
Addresses skin laxity along the jawline, jowls, and neck — a non-surgical alternative to conventional lifting procedures.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
RF thermal energy restructures collagen to smooth surface lines with cumulative, progressive improvement.
Pore Size & Texture
Thermal coagulation of enlarged pore walls reduces their visible appearance and refines overall skin texture.
Rosacea & Facial Flushing
Scarlet's vascular regulation capability treats chronic redness and flushing caused by dilated capillaries.
Scar Improvement
Effective on atrophic acne scars and mild textural scarring through deep collagen remodeling.
Your visit
What to expect
Consultation
We evaluate your skin concerns, degree of laxity, skin type, and suitability for RF treatment. We discuss protocol, expectations, and any contraindications (pacemakers, active infections, pregnancy).
Treatment
Topical anesthetic is applied for 45 minutes. The Scarlet RF device is systematically passed over the treatment area for 30-60 minutes. You will feel a warm prickling sensation as the RF energy is delivered.
Aftercare
Mild redness for 24-48 hours is expected. No special downtime is required. Results build progressively over 3 months as collagen remodels. A series of 3 sessions is recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Questions
Frequently asked
How is Scarlet RF different from regular microneedling?
Standard microneedling uses only mechanical needle channels. Scarlet RF adds targeted radiofrequency energy delivery throughout the entire needle depth, producing thermal coagulation zones that trigger a far more robust collagen remodeling response — resulting in greater skin tightening and lifting.
Is Scarlet RF safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Scarlet's non-ablative RF delivery does not target melanin, making it safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI) with proper settings and technique.
How many sessions do I need?
A series of 3 sessions is typically recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Many clients notice visible improvement after the first session; maximum results are seen at 3 months after completing the series.
Can I do Scarlet RF if I have a pacemaker?
No. RF devices are contraindicated in patients with implanted electronic devices. Please disclose all implants during your consultation.
