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.
