Scarlet SRF Microneedling

Scarlet will tighten the skin in the scalp, face, neck, and body. It can also lift the eyelids and improve skin texture, pores, photoaging, scars, acne, and stretch marks.

The cost varies by the area but can range from $2400 for three face treatments to $5000 for multiple large areas (like stretch marks). Most clients will need a series of three treatments performed about 6 weeks apart.

There are many types of RF microneedling devices on the market. These include the Scarlet, Morpheus, Vivace, Secret, and Infini. We believe the Scarlet is superior due to deeper energy penetration with minimal surface compromise. This results in better results with less downtime.

Visible tightening results come immediately and the results of dermal remodeling appear over time in the course of new collagen, elastin fiber regeneration, and vascular remodeling. For most clients, measurable results appear gradually in 2-3 months. The results can last 6 months to a year following a treatment series depending on your skin condition and the aging process.

You should not have this treatment performed if you have an implantable metal electrical device such as a pacemaker, cardioverter or defibrillator. You should also avoid this if pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have had keloid or delayed recovery, you are not a candidate. We also do not treat clients with a history of skin cancer in the areas to be treated.

We recommend avoiding blood thinners (NSAIDs) for one week. Avoid lasers, LED light treatments or chemical peels for 4 weeks before your treatment. Avoid all skincare products containing retinol for 4 weeks. Discontinue Accutane use 6 months prior to treatment. Drink a lot of water for 4 days before the treatment. Avoid sun tanning, sun exposure and spray-on tanning for 2 weeks before.

At Paulina’s we will recommend DP Dermaceuticals to prepare and post treat your skin. We will customise your skincare depending on your skin concerns and needs. We will recommend post-care for 48-72 hours and add growth factors and hyaluronic acid for quicker healing times. Avoid using any products containing retinol or acid cleansers for 2 weeks. Avoid the sun, sun tanning or spray tanning for 2 weeks after treatment. Always wear an SPF of 25 or greater.

Most clients report only slight discomfort or no pain at all. We can use a topical anesthetic for numbing at no extra cost, however this this to be organised in advanced as application needs to be at least 20 mins before your treatment. Please discuss this in your consultation.

Unlike laser treatments, Scarlet is safe on all skin types. Scarlet will provide total skin rejuvenation with minimal chance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

We recommend picking up the numbing cream ahead of time. This will save 30 minutes in the office. It takes about 20 minutes to treat the face and 10 minutes to add the neck or chest. Larger areas will vary based on size and may take 20-50 minutes on average.
