Two highly-successful dermal anti-aging therapies are radiofrequency (abbreviated as RF) and microneedling. When combined together, they’re able to address a myriad of skin issues with the help of one of our board certified dermatologists at Benson Dermatology near Hammond.
Scarlet SRF utilizes short-pulse radiofrequency along with microneedling techniques to increase the density of the skin. By increasing skin density, the effects of skin aging is reduced. This is because denser skin has more firmness and less sagging. Overall dermal health is also improved.
Scarlet SRF can also be used as a part of a combination therapy along with other procedures such as Botox, dermal fillers, and Intense Pulse Light (IPL).
Discovered by Dr. Jongju Na, the teardrop-like shape the radiofrequency forms under the skin is what makes this treatment so effective. Known as the “Na Effect,” volumetric collagen and elastin are restored by connecting them back together with SRF energy.
Our QnA dermatologists near Hammond use Scarlet to reduce aging by restoring these important components of younger skin. This is accomplished by delivering radiofrequency underneath the superficial skin layer via microneedles. The technology is patented and works on all types of skin regardless of color.
Miniature electrodes will work at varying treatment depths, drawing different levels of power to radiate through your dermal layers. The entire procedure is monitored and modified in real-time by our trained practitioners.
There is no special preparation needed before treatment in addition to what your dermatologist or licensed esthetician may advise you. Physical discomfort is minimal, and the treatment typically takes about 30 minutes. The total treatment time will vary depending on the size of the area treated, the needs of the patient, and if numbing cream is used.
