SCARLET (RF)
RADIOFREQUENCY
The FDA-approved, Scarlet RF is one of the safest systems in the field, combining radiofrequency (RF) with micro-needling to enhance collagen production, increase skin density, improve firmness, and decrease wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, acne, acne scarring, and large pores. Results are instant and continue to improve over 3 - 6 months. 3 - 5 treatments may be recommended for optimal results. Professional skincare tailored to your skin type needs will greatly improve outcomes.
With minimal downtime, the Scarlet targets virtually any skin issue.
Developed by the researcher behind the Na Effect, Scarlet RF is the first and original short pulse micro-needling RF treatment of it's kind.

THE "NA EFFECT"
Each pulse from Scarlet RF utilizes the patented “Na Effect", outlined by renowned doctor and scientist, Dr. Jongju Na. This allows for consistent results, faster treatment times, and more comfort for the client. With traditional RF Microneedling treatments, bleeding is more likely and healing can take weeks. Scarlet RF being a next-generation device has minimized traditional complications while increasing the speed and comfort of the treatment through the proven science behind the “Na Effect”.
What sets this method apart is the focused, independent tissue coagulation around each microneedle electrode. While other RF systems produce a widespread area of coagulation - leading to an ineffective treatment - the “Na Effect” allows for RF energy to be utilized to its full potential.
The combination of the “Na Effect”, the specialized Scarlet RF handpiece, and the customizable preset treatment modes for the scalp, face, and body, set it apart as a cornerstone aesthetic device.

THE BALLERINA LIFE
(AKA THE INSTANT FACELIFT)
We’re so excited to be the first clinic in the Austin area to offer you the newest nonsurgical, minimally invasive, zero-filler facelift…the BALLERINA LIFT! Get the look of wearing a tight ponytail without the headache.
The Scarlet RF BALLERINA LIFT technique involves total skin tightening and lifting of the hairline into the scalp, nape of the neck, and front of the neck to smooth, rejuvenate, and treat forehead wrinkles, eyebrow drooping, crow’s feet, cheekbone and mouth sagging, smile lines, jowls, and skin around the jaw – usually only treatable with a surgical facelift.
Results are instant, and continue to improve as you rebuild collagen and elastin over the 12 weeks following the treatment!
WHAT TO EXPECT
BEFORE TREATMENT
-
Free pre-consultation required as pre-treatment protocol varies depending on the client.
-
7 days prior to treatment: no blood thinners, no invasive lasers, no sunburn, and avoid retinols.
-
Plan fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) for 4 weeks prior or post-treatment.
-
Ask about starting Alastin Skincare’s Procedure Enhancement System 14-30 days before your treatment. Pre-treating will clear non-functioning collagen, impurities, and prep your skin for optimal results. Continuing after-treatment will minimize downtime and elevate results.
DURING TREATMENT
-
It typically takes 3-4 treatments to see optimal results:
-
At each treatment session, your skin will be cleansed and a numbing cream will be applied.
-
Next, pressing the handheld device into your skin, the Scarlet will be stamped across the entire face (or a specific targeted treatment area).
-
When the microneedles puncture your skin, they emit the RF energy as heat, delivering it directly into the dermis. You may feel a warm, prickling sensation, but the treatment shouldn’t be painful because your skin will be numb.
-
After the treatment is complete, you may recieve a calming mask or balm to your skin.
AFTER TREATMENT
-
Immediate results, but must upkeep treatments every 3-6 months and good skincare for max results.
-
Might be red for 1 - 24 hours post-treatment.
-
Stay out of the sun for 24 - 48 hours post-treatment.
-
Gentle skincare: mild cleansing, good moisturization, and a mineral-based sunblock, like Alastin.
-
Try to avoid makeup for 1 - 3 days post-treatment, as products will penetrate more deeply than usual.
-
Avoid all products with potent active ingredients (e.g., retinoids, vitamin C serums, exfoliating acids) for a few days.
-
While complexion might look brighter and smoother within 2 weeks, it’ll be 2 - 4 months before below-the-surface structural benefits (new collagen/elastin) take in full-effect.

WHO IS THE SCARLET RF GOOD FOR?
Practically anyone can benefit from this procedure. Scarlet RF works on all skin types as the patented technology is based on radio waves, which are not affected by skin color. Please contact us for a free consultation to find out what the Scarlet RF System can do for you. Scarlet should not be considered if you are pregnant or lactating, have a defibrillator, metal implants, pacemaker, auto-immune disease, cancer, or skin disease, or if you are an Accutaine user.
WHAT TREATMENTS WORK WELL FOR COMBO THERAPY?
RF micro-needling can be combined with other primarily superficial treatments, like JetPeel for even better results. Not only do you get some collagen remodeling in the dermis, but you make the surface look better—adding an immediate glow to your skin.
WHAT PRODUCTS PAIR WELL WITH SCARLET?
We will recommend products, best suited for your skin type and goals. Pre and immediate post-treatment, we recommend Nectar by Alastin Skincare.
