Scarlet RF Microneedling
Overview
Scarlet RF Microneedling combines the proven benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver unparalleled skin rejuvenation. This advanced treatment uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, while RF energy heats deeper layers to tighten and firm. At MC Aesthetics in McMinnville, Scarlet RF is our go-to for clients wanting to address sagging skin, acne scars, or uneven texture without surgery or significant downtime. It’s a powerful, FDA-cleared solution that transforms skin from the inside out, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Scarlet RF Microneedling is suitable for most adults looking to improve skin firmness, texture, or scarring. It’s ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity or acne scars who prefer non-invasive options. We’ll assess your skin during a consultation at MC Aesthetics to ensure this treatment aligns with your needs.
Who is Not a Good Candidate
This treatment isn’t recommended for individuals with active skin infections, pacemakers, or certain medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes. Pregnant or breastfeeding clients should wait. We’ll review your health history to confirm eligibility.
Results Duration
Initial improvements in skin texture and glow are visible within a week, with optimal tightening and collagen benefits appearing over 2-3 months as your skin rebuilds. A series of 3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is typically recommended for best results. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can prolong the effects.

Post-Treatment Care

- Avoid direct sun and use SPF 30+ for at least 2 weeks.
