Treatment Overview
Scarlet RF Microneedling Laser is a highly advanced Korean dermatology treatment that combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy to achieve firming, lifting, and tightening of the skin. By delivering controlled RF energy through ultra-fine microneedles, Scarlet stimulates deep collagen and elastin regeneration, helping to reverse signs of aging and restore a naturally lifted appearance.
In Korea, the Scarlet Firming Lifting program is especially popular among patients seeking non-surgical face lifting, jawline contouring, and overall firmness without the downtime associated with invasive procedures. It’s frequently used as a preventive anti-aging solution for younger patients as well as a rejuvenation therapy for those experiencing skin sagging.
