SCARLET (RF)
RADIOFREQUENCY
Scarlet RF is an FDA-approved, safe, and effective system that combines radiofrequency (RF) with micro-needling. This treatment enhances collagen production, increases skin density, and addresses various skin concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, acne, and large pores.
WHAT DOES SCARLET RF TREAT?
​• Treats active acne and acne scars
• Rebuilds lost collagen
• Improves rosacea
• Lifts, firms, and tightens the skin
• Shrinks pores
• Reduces the appearance of spider veins
• Treats sun-damaged skin and scars
• Softens fine lines
• Unifies skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation
WHAT MAKES SCARLET RF DIFFERENT?
The Scarlet RF utilizes the patented “Na Effect” by Dr. Jongju Na, ensuring consistent results, faster treatment times, and increased client comfort. Unlike traditional RF Microneedling, Scarlet RF minimizes complications and speeds up healing through the proven science behind the “Na Effect.” This method focuses on independent tissue coagulation around each microneedle electrode, allowing for optimal utilization of RF energy. The specialized Scarlet RF handpiece, along with customizable treatment modes, makes it a cornerstone aesthetic device for the scalp, face, and body.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Pre-consultation required. 7 days pre-treatment: avoid blood thinners, invasive lasers, sunburn, and retinols. Plan filler treatments 4 weeks before or after. Consider Alastin's Procedure Enhancement System 14-30 days prior. 3-4 Scarlet RF treatments for optimal results. Each session involves cleansing, numbing, and stamping with the handheld device. Warm sensation, minimal pain. Post-treatment, a calming mask or balm may be applied. Immediate results; upkeep every 3-6 months. Possible redness for 1-24 hours. Sun avoidance for 24-48 hours. Gentle skincare recommended, avoiding makeup for 1-3 days. Full structural benefits appear in 2-4 months.

FAQs
HOW WILL MY FACE LOOK RIGHT AFTER TREATMENT?
After your Scarlet RF treatment, you will have minimal downtime. Your skin might be red and sensitive for 1 - 24 hours post-treatment.
​
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Depending on what your objectives are, 3 - 6 treatments should accomplish skin goals.
​
IF I'VE HAD FILLER, CAN I GET THE SCARLET RF?
Please wait 4 weeks prior to or post Scarlet RF treatment to plan filler (Juvederm, Restylane).
​
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.
