Radiofrequency microneedling (RFMN) is a sought-after treatment for many aesthetic providers due to its ability to dramatically improve skin and reverse the signs of aging. 
Today, RFMN platforms have become standard in many cosmetic practices, with Scarlet® RF from Viol Co., Ltd. (South Korea), and distributed in the U.S. from Aesthetic Management Partners, delivering effective treatments with little downtime.
“Scarlet RF is unique from other devices,” reported Peter Helton, MD, owner of Helton Skin & Laser Institute (Newport Beach, Calif.). “The distinct wound geometry from bipolar RF provides independent tissue coagulation around each of its gold-plated, non-insulated microneedles. This allows Scarlet RF to consistently address the entire structure of the skin with a single pass.
“Compared to the typical solenoid motors used in other devices, Scarlet’s linear robotic motor produces a slow consistent penetration for calm and non-traumatic delivery of the microneedles, versus those that rapidly startle and snap into the skin, which can cause anticipatory discomfort and bleeding,” Dr. Helton continued.
Ozan Sozer, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon and owner of El Paso Cosmetic Surgery in El Paso, Texas, echoed the sentiment of Scarlet RF as a revolutionary treatment. “This system maximizes the use of RF energy while prioritizing patient comfort and satisfaction. This unique feature allows for a higher degree of customization tailored to individual patients, ensuring safety and efficacy across all skin types,” he reported.
Dr. Sozer often combines Scarlet RF with other treatments for a comprehensive approach, as he explained, “We incorporate Scarlet RF into our Erbium and CO2 treatment procedures to significantly enhance the efficacy and precision of targeted outcomes. Patient satisfaction has been extremely high with patients that purchase packages back-to-back. And, among all our device investments, Scarlet RF has had the best return on investment (ROI).”
Ellen Pino, owner of Avant Tous Beauty and Medical Spa in Baton Rouge, La., was also impressed with Scarlet RF. “We thought Scarlet RF was just another RFMN device,” she began. “Instead, we found the
intensity of energy emitted is much greater and we have seen faster and more dramatic results than from other devices, and the robotic motor makes a very smooth treatment.
“We use a combination therapy with AGNES® RF (Agnes Medical) to remove fatty tissue, followed by Scarlet RF for lifting and tightening immediately after,” Ms. Pino continued. “This combination has shown signifi cant and faster results with less edema and bruising, which means less downtime.”
According to Dr. Helton, training for Scarlet RF is provided by Aesthetic Management Partners and includes the initial onboarding followed by a two-day advanced training course at ClearSkin Institute. “The advanced training is a masterclass and hands-on interactive demonstration of treatments for lifting, tightening and vectoring the skin of the face and body. And, it is included in the purchase price of your device,” he added.
Scarlet RF’s safety and versatility offers aesthetic practices a comprehensive treatment to expand their services and patient base. “Patients want faster results in fewer appointments, so adding Scarlet RF fi lled a hole we did not know we had. We now see more patients, achieve better results and experience improved speed of service,” Ms. Pino concluded.
