Scarlet RF Microneedling is one of our most powerful skin-rejuvenating treatments—designed to firm, smooth, and restore your skin from the inside out. Safe for all skin types and effective year-round, Scarlet combines the proven science of radiofrequency (RF) with the precision of microneedling to deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Scarlet RF is an FDA-approved, cutting-edge treatment that uses short-pulse radiofrequency (SRF) energy delivered through a matrix of ultrafine microneedles. As the RF energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, it stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin—the essential proteins responsible for skin’s structure and elasticity.
This deep stimulation helps rebuild and tighten skin from within—leaving you with firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin, without the discomfort or downtime of more aggressive treatments.
Agnes RF Microneedling is a refined treatment that offers lasting results—but because it targets fat pads and deeper structures, it’s a little different from standard microneedling. Here’s what you can expect at every stage of the journey.
Before your Scarlet RF Microneedling session, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin and avoid self-tanner on the treatment area. In the days leading up to treatment, you may be asked to pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, and other irritating products, and to avoid recent waxing, peels, or strong resurfacing treatments on the face or neck.
Please let us know about any active breakouts, cold sores, infections, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or recent cosmetic procedures, as well as any history of poor wound healing or keloid scarring. Staying well-hydrated and eating a light meal beforehand can help you feel more comfortable during your visit. We’ll review your goals, take photos, and confirm your treatment plan before numbing.
Your Scarlet RF treatment begins with a topical numbing cream, typically left on for about 30–45 minutes to keep you comfortable. Once your skin is numb, the Scarlet device uses ultra-fine, gold-tipped microneedles to deliver precise bursts of radiofrequency (RF) energy into the deeper layers of the skin.
This controlled combination of microneedling + RF heat creates tiny micro-injuries and thermal stimulation that trigger collagen remodeling, tighten lax skin, and improve texture and tone. During the procedure, you may feel light pressure, warmth, or mild prickling, but most clients find it very tolerable. A typical session lasts about 45 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
After Scarlet RF, it’s normal to experience redness, warmth, and a feeling of tightness similar to a light sunburn. These effects usually improve within 24–48 hours, though mild dryness or flaking can occur as the skin renews. You’ll be given specific post-care instructions, which often include gentle cleanser, soothing moisturizer, and strict sun protection, while avoiding makeup for a short period if the skin is very reactive.
We typically ask you to avoid hot tubs, saunas, intense workouts, and harsh skincare (retinoids, strong acids, scrubs) for several days to protect the skin barrier. Improvement is gradual and cumulative—over the following weeks, your skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more lifted as new collagen forms. Many clients see best results with a series of treatments (usually one per decade of life,) so if you're in your 30s then 3, if you're in your 60s, 6!) followed by periodic maintenance based on their goals and skin condition.

Seeing is believing. These before-and-after photos show real people who’ve experienced the tightening, smoothing, and rejuvenating effects of Scarlet RF Microneedling. Each transformation is unique—but the boost in confidence is universal.
Most clients see noticeable results after just one treatment, but for optimal improvement, we typically recommend a series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months can help preserve your results over time.
Thanks to a powerful topical numbing cream applied before your session, discomfort is minimal. Most clients describe it as a warm, prickling sensation—completely tolerable. The jawline and forehead may feel slightly more sensitive.
Scarlet RF has minimal downtime compared to more aggressive treatments. You may experience redness, mild swelling, and a tight feeling for 1–3 days. Most people return to normal activities within 24–48 hours and can wear makeup after the first day.
Some clients notice tighter skin and smoother texture within a few days, but the most dramatic improvements develop over 4–6 weeks as your body builds new collagen. Results continue to improve for up to 3 months post-treatment.
While traditional microneedling creates micro-injuries to stimulate healing, Scarlet RF combines microneedles with radiofrequency energy to reach deeper skin layers. This enhances collagen production and delivers more dramatic tightening and lifting, especially for sagging or aging skin.
Yes! Scarlet RF is safe for all skin types and tones, including tanned and darker complexions. Unlike some lasers, the RF energy doesn’t target pigment, making it a great year-round treatment for everyone.
Scarlet RF is incredibly versatile. It’s commonly used on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, and even the scalp. It’s especially effective for jawline contouring, crow’s feet, and crepey skin.
