Microneedling

Microneedling is one of those treatments that patients are so happy with, that they return throughout the year to enjoy smooth, clear, and healthy skin all the time. Our team has researched so many microneedling options and are proud to choose Scarlet RF at Ramirez Dermatology. Here’s more about the Scarlet RF system.

Scarlet RF Microneedling

Scarlet RF sends short pulses of fractional RF energy through 25 non-insulated microneedles to your subdermal tissues. This tightens and contracts your skin at deeper levels, giving you smoother, firmer skin with a healthy, youthful glow. 

Scarlet RF can address many skin concerns on your face and body, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars and sun damage

• Enlarged pores

• Rosacea and small spider veins

• Mild-to-moderate facial laxity

• Loose skin on your neck or body

• Textural irregularities

It’s a dual treatment with tiny needles which create micro-injuries in the skin's surface, sending a repair response. Simultaneously, RF energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production.

One key advantage of Scarlet RF Microneedling is its versatility. The treatment can be customized to target specific areas of concern, making it suitable for various skin types and concerns. Whether addressing fine lines, enlarged pores, or scars, Scarlet RF Microneedling offers a tailored solution. Additionally, the controlled nature of the procedure minimizes the risk of damage to the surrounding skin, allowing for precise and targeted treatment. The downtime associated with Scarlet RF Microneedling is generally minimal, with patients experiencing mild redness and swelling that typically subsides within a few days.

Scarlet RF + Agnes RF: Get the Whole Package

Beyond refreshing the whole face, neck, or chest, we can also use our radiofrequency systems together to target specific areas. The results mimic surgery!

For patients who are good candidates, we will first use our AGNES RF system on targeted places such as the under eyes or jowls to remove the excess fat and puffiness. After the area has healed, we’ll go in with the Scarlet RF to tighten any skin that has become lax following Agnes RF fat reduction.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure where a licensed esthetician uses a handheld devise with tiny needles to stimulate collagen, elastin production, and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment is a form of controlled skin injury. The damage stimulates the growth of healthy new skin, which can benefit common skin issues like acne scars and wrinkles. A topical anesthetic is applied prior to the procedure with patients tolerating the procedure extremely well with minimal discomfort.

Microneedling can also be combined with plasma rich platelet injections (PRP) to help speed recovery and improve treatment outcomes. Patients report high satisfaction and schedule this service regularly!

Why choose RadioFrequency Microneedling?

The combination of microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) helps to amplify collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Added RF energy also enhances skin tightening resulting in a visible difference in your skin’s tone, and texture.
