Scarlet Pro® Radiofrequency Microneedling

What Is Scarlet Pro®?

Scarlet Pro® is a next-generation radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. Using ultra-fine microneedles, Scarlet Pro® delivers precisely controlled RF energy beneath the skin’s surface, promoting deep tissue remodeling while preserving the outer layer of the skin.

This innovative technology helps strengthen and rejuvenate the skin over time, resulting in smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin.

Conditions Treated With Scarlet Pro®

Scarlet Pro® is an advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin from within. By stimulating collagen remodeling in the deeper layers of the skin, it improves texture, tone, and firmness—without surgery or significant downtime. Scarlet Pro® effectively addresses a wide range of cosmetic skin concerns, including:

Acne Scarring: Scarlet Pro® targets acne scarring by combining controlled microneedle injury with radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered deep into the dermis to create microscopic zones of thermal stimulation known as radiofrequency thermal zones. This precise thermal and mechanical wounding triggers the body’s natural wound-healing cascade, activating fibroblasts and upregulating key cytokines and growth factors that remodel collagen and elastin fibers in the dermal matrix. Over a series of treatments, this leads to significant dermal remodeling that softens the appearance of atrophic acne scars and improves surface texture without extensive damage to the epidermis—a common issue with more aggressive resurfacing devices. The result is a smoother, more even skin surface and reduced scar depth with minimal downtime and lower risk of pigmentation changes compared to ablative procedures.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Fine lines and wrinkles form as a result of gradual loss and disorganization of collagen and elastin in the dermal layer. Scarlet Pro® stimulates neocollagenesis through a combination of microneedle-induced microinjury and RF-mediated thermal stimulation. This dual mechanism promotes fibroblast activation and the production of new extracellular matrix components, leading to thicker, more resilient dermal tissue. The heat generated by RF energy also causes immediate collagen contraction, which helps tighten and firm the skin. Over time, as new collagen continues to form and mature, fine lines become softened and skin elasticity improves, contributing to a more youthful facial contour and tone

Enlarged Pores: Scarlet Pro® enhances dermal strength by initiating controlled thermal injury and microinjuries that stimulate collagen and elastin formation. As the dermal matrix regenerates and strengthens, the support around pores becomes firmer, leading to a visible reduction in pore diameter and a more refined skin texture. This remodeling process also enhances the skin’s overall resilience and smoothness, contributing to a visibly clearer and more uniform complexion.

Uneven Skin Texture and Tone: Scarlet Pro® improves uneven texture and tone by activating the skin’s endogenous repair mechanisms. The microneedling component induces a controlled wound healing response, while the RF energy provides targeted dermal heating that enhances this response and extends it deeper into the skin. This process promotes uniform collagen remodeling, increased cellular turnover, and improved microvascular circulation, which together help fade irregular pigmentation, smooth out rough texture, and brighten dull skin. With consistent treatments, patients often experience a more radiant and balanced complexion as the structural integrity of the dermal layer improves.

Skin Laxity of the Face and Neck: Scarlet Pro® is particularly effective for mild to moderate skin laxity because the combination of microneedling and RF energy induces both immediate and long-term tissue tightening. RF energy heats the deeper dermal layers, leading to immediate collagen fiber contraction and activation of fibroblasts. This initiates the neocollagenesis process, resulting in thicker, firmer connective tissue over time. By enhancing collagen and elastin deposition in areas of lax skin, Scarlet Pro® helps restore structural support to sagging contours along the jawline, cheeks, and neck. The result is improved skin firmness and a lifted, more youthful appearance without surgical intervention

Hair Loss / Hair Growth: Scarlet Pro® stimulates hair growth through a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy. The microneedles create tiny, controlled wounds in the scalp, while radiofrequency generates heat in precise zones, activating the natural repair process. This dual stimulation triggers key molecular pathways, including Wnt/β-catenin, which guide hair follicle differentiation and regeneration. Cytokines like interleukins and tumor necrosis factor-α, along with immune cells such as macrophages, help coordinate this healing response. The treatment also upregulates hair growth–related genes and induces mild, temporary inflammation, which encourages follicles to enter the anagen (growth) phase. Increased blood flow and improved follicle vascularization create a healthier scalp environment, supporting stronger, thicker, and more resilient hair over time.

What Makes Scarlet Pro® Different

Unlike traditional microneedling, Scarlet Pro® combines microneedles with precision-controlled radiofrequency energy, allowing treatment of deeper skin layers while minimizing surface damage.

Key benefits include:

Minimal downtime
Safe for all skin types
Gradual, natural-looking results
Long-lasting collagen stimulation

Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days following treatment.

What to Expect During Treatment

A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to maximize comfort. The procedure typically lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity immediately afterward, which usually resolves within a few days.

Results and Treatment Plan

Some patients notice early improvements in skin texture within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over 3–6 months as collagen production increases. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended based on individual skin concerns and goals.

Enhancing Scarlet Pro® Results With Exosomes and PRF

For patients seeking enhanced skin rejuvenation results, Scarlet Pro® treatments may be combined with supplemental therapies such as Exosomes or Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF). These additions can further support the skin’s natural healing and regenerative processes when used in conjunction with radiofrequency microneedling.

Scarlet Pro® With Exosomes

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles derived from stem cells that contain growth factors, peptides, and signaling molecules involved in skin repair and regeneration. When applied following Scarlet Pro® treatment, exosomes may help:

Support cellular communication and tissue repair
Enhance collagen and elastin stimulation
Improve skin texture, tone, and radiance
Reduce visible signs of aging and sun damage

The microchannels created during Scarlet Pro® treatment allow for improved absorption of exosomes, optimizing their potential benefits.

Scarlet Pro® With Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a natural concentrate derived from the patient’s own blood and is rich in platelets, fibrin, and growth factors. When used alongside Scarlet Pro®, PRF may:

Accelerate the skin’s healing response
Enhance collagen production
Improve overall skin quality and elasticity
Support gradual, natural rejuvenation

Because PRF is autologous, it is a biocompatible option for patients seeking a natural regenerative approach.

Personalized Treatment Planning

The use of exosomes or PRF with Scarlet Pro® is optional and customized based on individual skin concerns, goals, and medical history. During your consultation, our providers will discuss whether these regenerative add-ons are appropriate for you and help design a treatment plan to maximize your results safely and effectively.

Is Scarlet Pro® Right for You?

Scarlet Pro® may be an excellent option if you are concerned about acne scarring, early signs of aging, skin laxity, or overall skin texture. A personalized consultation with our experienced team will help determine whether Scarlet Pro® aligns with your skin goals.
