Scarlet® RF microneedling combines short-pulse radiofrequency energy with microneedling to help lift, tone, and tighten skin at the subdermal level. At Gig Harbor Aesthetics & Wellness, this FDA-cleared treatment is designed for patients seeking to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness with minimal downtime.
Sessions typically take 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the treatment area, and most patients return to their normal routine the same day. Our team will review your skin goals during a consultation to determine whether Scarlet® RF microneedling in Gig Harbor, WA, is the right fit for you.
Scarlet® RF microneedling is a fractional radiofrequency treatment delivered through fine microneedles that create tiny channels in the skin. As the needles reach the deeper skin layers, radiofrequency energy is delivered to boost collagen and elastin production, while the body’s natural wound-healing response begins. This dual action is designed to firm, tighten, and even out skin tone over time. The treatment is FDA-cleared and formulated for use across skin types and tones.
This treatment can also be paired with MOXI® or BBL HERO® for a more comprehensive approach to skin tone, texture, and tightening.
At a Glance: Duration: 20 to 40 minutes | Downtime: Minimal to none | Best For: Sagging skin, scarring, texture, and tone concerns
Scarlet® RF microneedling delivers short pulses of radiofrequency energy through tiny channels created by the microneedling process, triggering two responses in the skin simultaneously. The body’s natural wound-healing process begins to elevate collagen and elastin levels, while radiofrequency heat helps the subdermal tissue contract and tighten. Many patients notice a difference shortly after treatment, with continued progress as new collagen forms over the following weeks.
Fractional radiofrequency delivered via microneedling: FDA-cleared for use on all skin types.
Scarlet® RF microneedling can be used on the face, neck, body, and scalp, with straightforward candidacy and recovery.

Most treatments take 20 to 40 minutes. The exact time depends on the treatment area and includes time for topical numbing before the procedure begins.
Most patients feel only gentle discomfort during treatment. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the sensation is often described as a warm, light pressure.
There’s typically minimal to no downtime after this treatment. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, though mild redness or slight swelling may occur for a few hours.
Most patients benefit from a series of Scarlet® RF microneedling sessions spaced several weeks apart. The right number for you depends on your skin goals, which our team will review during your consultation.
This treatment is formulated to be safe for most skin types and tones. It may not be recommended for patients who are pregnant or nursing, using Accutane/Roaccutane, have a pacemaker or certain metal implants, or have specific autoimmune or skin conditions, so a consultation is the best next step.
