Both radiofrequency (abbreviated RF) and microneedling have become two successful dermal anti-aging treatments for a good reason. When utilized together, they’re capable of addressing unsightly skin issues with the oversight of a Benson Dermatology board-certified dermatologist near Baton Rouge.
Scarlet SRF microneedling is just that: a combination of short-pulse radiofrequency delivered by tiny needles to increase skin density. With denser skin comes a more youthful appearance, thanks to the additional firmness. Firmness means less sagging, younger appearance, and overall improvement in dermal health.
Scarlet SRF can also be implemented as part of a comprehensive therapy system, including procedures such as Intense Pulse Light (IPL), Botox, and dermal fillers.
Dr. Jongju Na, who pioneered this modern procedure and coined the term “Na Effect,” found that the characteristic teardrop-like shape of radiofrequency delivered underneath the dermal layer helped to tighten the skin. This RF is delivered underneath the skin with the help of microscopic needles. Scarlet RF, a patented method of making skin look younger, works on patients with all skin tones.
Multiple miniature electrodes operate at various treatment depths and subsequently use different amounts of energy to penetrate through dermal layers. The complete process is monitored and adjusted as needed in real-time by our trained staff.
Most patients will not need to do anything special to prepare for treatment, though they should always follow any guidelines from their dermatologist or licensed esthetician. Physical discomfort after receiving treatment is minimal, and treatment time is about 30 minutes for the average patient. However, total treatment time will vary depending on the size of the treatment area, the patient’s individual needs, and if numbing cream is applied before the procedure.
