RF microneedling, short for radiofrequency microneedling, is a cosmetic procedure where ultra-fine needles with radiofrequency energy are used. It creates tiny, controlled injuries in the skin while delivering heat into the deeper layers.
Radiofrequency microneedling is used to help your skin renew itself and is commonly performed on the face, but it can also help treat other areas like the neck, abdomen, or thighs depending on the device and individual goals.
First, the skin is cleansed and a numbing cream is applied to make it more comfortable. Then, a specialized device uses ultra-fine needles to make micro-injuries. At the same time, radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the tissue through the needles.
This stimulates your body’s natural healing process while heating the lower layers of skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. After the procedure, your provider will give you aftercare instructions to help your skin recover properly and get the best results.
Microneedling with radiofrequency is a great option for adults in good overall health who want to treat early signs of aging, acne scarring, or loose skin. It’s especially helpful for those noticing skin laxity after weight loss or changes in body shape. Because the treatment supports collagen production and improves skin firmness, it's a good option for people looking for visible improvements without invasive procedures.
But it may not be the right choice for everyone. Individuals who are pregnant, nursing, prone to cold sores, or have certain skin conditions or healing issues should talk with a qualified provider first.
At our med spa Scarlet RF Microneedling is a fast, in-office procedure. It starts with a detailed consultation, where we assess your skin and customize a treatment plan. On the day of your session, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied to make the procedure more comfortable.
Once the skin is prepped, the Scarlet RF device is used to deliver tiny microneedles into the skin, alongside radiofrequency energy. This combination creates controlled micro-injuries while also heating the deeper layers of skin, which helps trigger collagen and elastin production. Most sessions take around 30 minutes, though it may vary.
Recovery after Scarlet RF microneedling is typically quick. It may cause small redness, warmth, or light swelling in the treated area for a day or two, like a minor sunburn. These side effects typically fade on their own without additional treatments.
Aftercare is simple but crucial for achieving the best results. You'll be asked to keep your skin clean and avoid direct sun exposure for a few days. Your provider may recommend using a gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum, and a soothing ointment to support healing. You should skip makeup and strong skincare products until your skin fully calms down.
