Treatment Overview
Scarlet RF Microneedling Laser is a leading Korean dermatology treatment that improves skin elasticity, firmness, and overall youthfulness. It uses microneedling combined with fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate deep collagen and elastin production, repairing skin structure and restoring natural lift.
In Korea, the Scarlet Elasticity Laser program is often chosen by patients experiencing loss of elasticity, sagging around the jawline, or early aging. Unlike aggressive ablative lasers, Scarlet RF provides tightening and lifting with minimal downtime, making it safe for Asian skin types prone to pigmentation.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Elasticity / Wrinkles / Laxity family (Scarlet RF, Ultrapulse CO₂, Erbium:YAG, Genesis Laser, Pico Laser):
- Scarlet RF (Elasticity Laser): Best for lifting + tightening + pores.
- Ultrapulse CO₂ Laser: Best for deep wrinkles + scars + skin resurfacing.
- Erbium:YAG Laser: Best for gentle resurfacing + early elasticity loss.
- Genesis Laser: Best for fine lines + collagen stimulation + redness.
- Pico Laser: Best for pigment + mild scar improvement.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening: Firms sagging around the cheeks, jawline, and eyes.
- Collagen & Elastin Regeneration: Stimulates natural production for lasting lift.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths fine lines and early folds.
- Pore Refinement: Shrinks enlarged pores for smoother skin.
