Achieving youthful skin can be challenging – especially if you don’t know where to start.
While there are many skincare products and aesthetic treatments out there, finding the right one may take some time.
Thus, it’s always a good idea to consult with experienced aesthetic providers such as Sedalia Aesthetics, which offers skin rejuvenation treatments like Scarlet Microneedling.
Read on to know more.
What Is Skin Tightening (Scarlet Microneedling)?
Scarlet microneedling is a skin-tightening procedure that combines two proven skin rejuvenation technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency (RF).
In essence, microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure wherein a device with tiny needles creates controlled injuries or microscopic punctures in the skin — this stimulates the body’s natural healing response, thus resulting in collagen production.
RF energy, on the other hand, heats the skin to further stimulate collagen production, resulting in dermal remodeling.
With the combined power of microneedling and radiofrequency, Scarlet can treat the following concerns:
Forehead wrinkles
Eyebrow drooping
Crow’s feet
Sagging around the mouth
Smile lines
Acne scarring
Pore size
Sun damage
Jowling in the lower face
How Does Scarlet Microneedling Work?
Scarlet combines microneedling and radiofrequency, featuring a built-in bipolar radio frequency to deliver energy and heat precisely to target depth under the skin.
This treatment works by creating controlled wounds to trick the body into repairing the treated area. Then, it delivers precise bipolar RF energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and build elastin fibers.
This combined treatment tightens the skin, making it firmer and tighter.
Benefits of Scarlet Microneedling
Skin Tightening (Scarlet Microneedling) benefits patients in Sedalia, Marshall, and Jefferson City, by:
Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles;
Improving skin texture;
Tightening loose skin;
Reducing pore size;
Lessening the appearance of acne scars;

Moreover, Scarlet is a comfortable treatment that is safe and effective for all skin types. Best of all, it’s created for both correction and prevention, making it the ideal skin rejuvenation treatment for improving skin quality.
Who Is An Ideal Candidate for Scarlet Microneedling?
Scarlet microneedling is ideal for patients looking to improve their skin tone, texture, and overall appearance without going under the knife.
It’s also recommended for individuals who want to prevent signs of aging, especially lines and wrinkles appearing on the face, neck, and body.
However, patients with active acne, skin infections, and open wounds are not advised to get the Scarlet microneedling treatment just yet. The same goes for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
In these instances, it’s best to consult your physician or dermatologist to see if Scarlet Microneedling is right for you.
What To Expect During Treatment Proper
Here’s what you can expect when you visit Sedalia Aesthetics’ clinic for a Scarlet Microneedling treatment:
The treatment area will be cleansed. A topical numbing cream will also be applied to help mitigate any pain.
The micro-needle work head will then be placed on the skin, and the tiny needles will penetrate the treatment area.
Subsequently, the RF energy will be directly applied, wherein the collagen and elastin regeneration process begins.
