We all want to look our best as we age, but going “under the knife” via traditional cosmetic surgery isn’t ideal for many people. Fortunately, plenty of non-surgical skincare treatments can boost collagen and elastin, which are responsible for keeping your skin tight and full as you age. Scarlet Microneedling is a great example. By using short pulse radiofrequency, Scarlet Microneedling takes traditional microneedling further, penetrating deeper layers of the skin to keep your face looking fresh, youthful, and radiant. Read on for everything to know about Scarlet Microneedling (AKA Scarlet Radiofrequency or Scarlet RF Microneedling) skin care treatments.
How Does Scarlet Microneedling Work?
Scarlet Microneedling combines the best of traditional microneedling and short-pulse radiofrequency to target the subdermal tissue. Both traditional and Scarlet RF Microneedling are types of collagen induction therapy.
Traditional microneedling is a treatment where tiny punctures are created in the skin resulting in micro-wounds. Scarlet Radiofrequency Microneedling takes traditional microneedling a step further. This device also makes tiny punctures in the skin, but each microneedle on the device also serves as an electrode, emitting pulses of radiofrequency energy to boost collagen and elastin production, targeting deeper layers of the skin. Results can be seen almost immediately, however, maximum results can be achieved after three Scarlet RF treatments.

Am I a Candidate for Scarlet Microneedling?
Scarlet Microneedling can be a very effective treatment for any skin type or tone. It’s a less invasive treatment than chemical peels, for example, which remove the outer layer of your skin. It’s also less intense than laser treatments, as it uses radio waves.
