What is The Scarlet RF System?
It’s a non-surgical facelift!
Scarlet RF is a revolutionary short-pulse radiofrequency (RF) with microneedling skin treatment that increases the density of your skin to improve firmness, and decrease sagging and the appearance of aging. Restored essential components of younger skin are reconnected for optimized dermal health. There’s less downtime than with other treatments and they are less painful than with other devices.
Approved by the FDA as a safe and effective anti-aging therapy, Scarlet delivers RF energy beneath the superficial layer of skin through specialized microneedles. The body responds to this by stimulating the production of collagen — the skin’s main structural protein — to repair and tighten the skin.
A Scarlet scalp treatment tightens skin with the intent of treating forehead wrinkles, eyebrow drooping, crow’s feet, cheekbone and mouth sagging, smile lines, and skin around the jaw – usually only treatable with a surgical facelift.

How do I prepare for the treatment?
The Scarlet RF treatment doesn’t need any special preparation before your visit. However, this is a medical treatment, so a consultation with our medical team is required. If you are concerned about physical discomfort or anxiety with treatment, please ask about the PRO-NOX Nitrous Oxide System during your initial consultation.
Ask your practitioner about starting Alastin Skincare’s Procedure Enhancement System 14-30 days before your treatment. Pre-treating with this system will clear non-functioning collagen and impurities and prepare your skin for optimal results. And continuing after treatment will minimize downtime and elevate results. Directions for use.
How long does a treatment take?
Scarlet RF treatments takes about twenty minutes for the face and ten minutes for the neck. The time needed for a body treatment depends on the size and condition of the area to be treated. The Scarlet RF treatment is both time-efficient and revolutionarily effective. Please ask your practitioner if you are concerned about your comfort level.
Post-treatment or downtime?
Scarlet RF is the safest treatment in the field of RF systems, with little to no downtime and no side effects. For just a few hours after your treatment, redness and a little swelling can be expected, though both should only be mild. Your face might feel warm, like you’ve had a mild sunburn. Basic skin and hair care is all that’s needed in the days after the procedure. Most patients return to their regular activities immediately following treatment.
For those receiving a scalp treatment, you may feel a slight pulling or tugging sensation for a few days. As with all our medical treatments, a post-treatment care sheet will be provided, along with contact information.
How long until I see results?
Some visible tightening results come immediately, and the results of dermal remodeling appear over time as collagen and elastin fibers regenerate. For most patients, measurable results appear gradually in two to three months. A minimum of three sessions is recommended for optimal results. The results can last six months to a year, depending on your general skin condition, and touch-up procedures can help maintain your appearance over time.
What’s the science?
Scarlet RF uses minimally invasive microneedling electrode technology, which coagulates the dermis directly with precisely controlled RF energy at varying treatment depths. Treatment depth, power, and mode are monitored and modified during treatment by our skilled practitioners. Overall dermal health is improved by restoring and reconnecting the essential components of healthy, youthful skin—volumetric collagen and elastin.
The teardrop shape of energy below the skin is what makes this treatment so effective. Renowned doctor and scientist Jongju Na was able to find this key method for the safest and most effective RF treatment. He named this discovery the “Na effect”. The proven science behind the Na effect is what allows the Scarlet RF to deliver this unique treatment for rejuvenation of the skin and scalp.
Can this treatment be used as part of a combo therapy?
Yes, we often suggest combining complementary therapies such as Botox, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), and dermal fillers.

Scarlet RF System
The Scarlet RF System is a non-surgical facelift that combines radiofrequency (RF) and microneedling to target various skin issues and improve the overall appearance of the skin. This innovative treatment increases the density of the skin, improves firmness, reduces sagging, and diminishes the signs of aging [[1]].
The Scarlet RF treatment is approved by the FDA as a safe and effective anti-aging therapy. It works by delivering RF energy beneath the superficial layer of the skin through specialized microneedles. This stimulates the production of collagen, the main structural protein in the skin, leading to skin repair and tightening [[1]].
Benefits of Scarlet RF
The Scarlet RF System offers a wide range of benefits for the skin. Here are some of the key advantages:
- 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 [[1]].
Who Can Benefit from Scarlet RF?
Practically anyone can benefit from the Scarlet RF procedure. It is suitable for all skin types since the patented technology is based on radio waves, which are not affected by skin color. However, there are a few contraindications to consider. Scarlet RF should not be considered if you are pregnant or lactating, have a defibrillator, metal implants, pacemaker, auto-immune disease, cancer, skin disease, or if you are a Roaccutane user [[1]].
Treatment Areas and Duration
The Scarlet RF treatment can be performed on various areas of the body, including the scalp, face, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, inner thighs, knees, lips, and eye area. The duration of the treatment depends on the size and condition of the area being treated. For the face, it typically takes about twenty minutes, while the neck treatment takes around ten minutes [[1]].
Post-Treatment and Results
Scarlet RF is known for its safety and minimal downtime. After the treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling for a few hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Basic skin and hair care are all that's needed in the days following the procedure. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately after treatment [[1]].
Visible tightening results can be seen immediately, while the full results of dermal remodeling appear gradually over time as collagen and elastin fibers regenerate. Measurable results usually appear within two to three months, and a minimum of three sessions is recommended for optimal results. The duration of the results can vary from six months to a year, depending on the individual's skin condition. Touch-up procedures can help maintain the desired appearance over time [[1]].
The Science Behind Scarlet RF
Scarlet RF utilizes minimally invasive microneedling electrode technology combined with precisely controlled RF energy at varying treatment depths. This coagulates the dermis directly and improves overall dermal health by restoring and reconnecting the essential components of healthy, youthful skin, such as volumetric collagen and elastin. The unique teardrop shape of energy delivery below the skin contributes to the effectiveness of the treatment [[1]].
Combination Therapies
Scarlet RF can be used in combination with other complementary therapies such as Botox, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), and dermal fillers. These combinations can provide enhanced results and address multiple concerns simultaneously [[1]].
