5 Things You Should Know About Scarlet RF Microneedling

Are you unhappy with acne scars, wrinkles, and other skin concerns? Rejuvenate your skin appearance with Scarlet RF microneedling offered at Pua Manu Med Spa. This innovative beauty procedure combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to reduce acne scars and other skin imperfections. If Scarlet RF microneedling sounds like an aesthetic treatment you’d like, schedule an appointment with our Kapolei, Hawaii, office. Before then, here are five things you should know about this skin rejuvenation procedure. 

1. Scarlet RF Microneedling defined

While traditional micro-needling offers decent results, especially considering its affordability, it doesn’t match the effectiveness of treatments like laser resurfacing or chemical peels. But there’s good news! Enter Scarlet RF micro-needling—a significant upgrade from the standard version. It combines the trusted benefits of micro-needling with radiofrequency energy to deliver deeper and more precise results. 

With specialized microneedles, Scarlet delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy beneath the skin surface. The body responds to the Scarlet treatment by stimulating collagen formation, the skin’s main structural protein, which repairs and tightens the skin. 

2. It’s like traditional micro-needling but with RF energy

Scarlet RF treatment uses the same principle as conventional microneedling. The doctor will use multiple needles—usually 0.25mm in diameter and 1mm long— to pierce the skin. The needles create micro-injuries on the skin, stimulating your body’s healing mechanism. Simultaneously, the doctor uses a pen-like device to deliver radio waves as the needles pierce the skin. This creates more “damage” to the skin, unlike conventional microneedling. The more “micro-injuries” created, the more we trigger the body’s healing process to enhance your skin. 

3. Painless and quick treatment

The treatment typically lasts 10-20 minutes, depending on the treatment area and specific condition being addressed. Although micro-injuries are created in the skin to stimulate collagen production, the procedure is generally well-tolerated, with minimal pain or discomfort. You might notice some redness right after, but that’s about it.

Side effects are minimal, allowing most patients to return to their daily activities after treatment. You may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a slight sunburn. This temporary sensation should subside within a few hours to a day.

You may notice tighter, smoother skin soon after treatment, but the optimal results are visible within 3-6 months. With proper skin care, the outcomes last many years.

4. It’s versatile

Scarlet RF is not limited to facial treatments. The doctor can use it on various body parts, such as the neck, décolletage, and abdomen. Scarlet helps you achieve the following aesthetic improvements.

• Firmer and tighter skin
• Treats active acne and scarring
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduced hyperpigmentation
• Improved rosacea
• Shrink pores
• Reduced appearance of spider veins

It takes more than one session to achieve the desired results. Mild cases are treatable with 3-4 sessions, although severe cases need more than five treatments. The sessions will take 3-8 weeks or as your doctor advises. 

5. Suitable for all skin types

Unlike some laser treatments, Scarlet RF is safe for all skin types. The adjustable depth and intensity of the microneedles and RF energy allow for a customizable treatment plan tailored to your skin type and aesthetic concerns.
