Scarlet™ RF Microneedling
Educational Overview
The Scarlet is a state-of-the-art radiofrequency (RF) microneedling system that utilizes fractional thermolysis. It features 25 non-insulated, gold-plated microneedles that deliver bipolar RF energy throughout the entire depth of penetration. This creates the 'Na Effect'—a teardrop-shaped zone of coagulation that triggers a robust wound-healing cascade and synthesis of new Type I collagen and elastin fibers.
Who It May Be For
Scarlet is ideal for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI) seeking skin tightening (face, neck, body), textural refinement (pores, fine lines), vascular regulation (rosacea/flushing), and scar management.
Potential Benefits
- Significant improvement in skin firmness
- Reduction in the depth of fine lines
- Refined skin texture and pore size
- Cumulative lifting effect on jowls and neck
*Benefits are potential and not guaranteed; results may vary between individuals.
