What is Scarlet RF Microneedling?
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.

What to Expect
Your Scarlet RF session at MC Aesthetics starts with a personalized consultation to target your specific concerns. The treatment, lasting 30-60 minutes, involves applying a numbing cream for comfort, followed by the handheld device delivering microneedles and RF energy.
You might feel mild warmth or prickling, but it's generally well-tolerated. Post-treatment, expect slight redness or sensitivity for 1-2 days, similar to a mild sunburn. Most clients return to normal routines immediately.

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.
