Treatment Overview
Scarlet RF Microneedling Laser is a Korean dermatology innovation that rejuvenates the skin by combining microneedling with bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy. The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps restore firmness, refine pores, smooth wrinkles, and improve texture without significant downtime.
In Korea, the Scarlet Rejuvenation program is widely used as a comprehensive skin renewal and anti-aging therapy. It is effective not only for visible aging signs like fine lines and sagging, but also for dullness, enlarged pores, acne scars, and loss of elasticity. By repairing the dermal structure, Scarlet RF helps patients achieve the “K-beauty glow” with a more youthful, refreshed look.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Rejuvenation / Wrinkles / Scars / Pores family (Scarlet RF, Pico Laser, CO₂ Laser, Erbium:YAG, Genesis Laser):
- Scarlet RF (Rejuvenation): Best for all-in-one collagen remodeling + tightening + pores.
- Pico Laser: Best for pigmentation + scars.
- CO₂ Fractional Laser: Best for deep wrinkles + scar resurfacing.
- Erbium:YAG: Best for resurfacing with shorter downtime.
- Genesis Laser: Best for redness + fine lines + subtle glow.
