Scarlet SRF is a short-pulse radiofrequency microneedling system that treats the full face or body with less downtime than many comparable devices. It’s effective for skin tightening, pore refinement, acne scars and overall skin quality. The short-pulse technology targets the dermis without overheating the surrounding tissue.
Standard microneedling stimulates collagen through controlled injury to the skin surface. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles into the dermis, which stimulates deeper collagen remodeling and produces more significant skin tightening. RF microneedling is generally recommended for patients with more notable laxity or acne scarring.
Most patients see meaningful improvement after two to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Acne scarring may require three to six sessions for best results. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year help preserve collagen gains over time.
SkinPen typically causes one to two days of redness similar to a mild sunburn. Agnes RF and Scarlet SRF may result in two to four days of redness and mild swelling depending on the intensity of treatment. Patients can usually return to most activities within 24 to 48 hours.
Yes. Applying platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during a microneedling session is a common combination that enhances healing and collagen production. The team will discuss this option if it’s appropriate for your skin goals.
