What is Scarlet RF?
Scarlet S is a radiofrequency microneedling system. Fine needles enter the skin to a physician-selected depth and deliver controlled thermal energy to the target tissue.
Adjustable needle depth and energy allow the treatment to be tailored to the area, concern and skin thickness.
How does Scarlet RF work?
Microneedling creates precise treatment points within the skin, while bipolar radiofrequency delivers controlled heat at the selected depth. This process initiates a repair response and supports collagen remodelling over time.
Scarlet RF may be considered within plans intended to:
- Improve the appearance of selected acne scars
- Improve the visible appearance of pores
- Improve uneven skin texture
- Support skin firmness
- Improve fine lines
- Support collagen renewal
Scarlet RF for acne scars
Acne scars vary in shape and depth and do not all respond in the same way. Some scars may benefit from Scarlet RF, while others may require scar release, Fractional CO2 or a combination plan.
The physician assesses the scar type and depth before selecting the technology and session plan.
Before and after treatment
Settings vary according to the area, skin tone and concern. Temporary redness, mild swelling or warmth may occur. The physician provides preparation and aftercare instructions for the selected treatment intensity.

Does Scarlet RF remove pores?

How is Scarlet RF different from Fractional CO2?
