As we age, collagen tissue in the skin gradually decreases. As a result, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging—inevitable signs of aging—appear in the face and neck area. Scarlet S, also known as gold needle or gold needle radiofrequency, is effectively used to treat these concerns. Scarlet S aesthetic technology is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure. With this treatment, many skin problems can be resolved without the need for surgery. It is especially preferred because it is more affordable than surgical procedures, has a short recovery time, and is painless. Scarlet S is one of the devices with the highest potential for positive results, as it allows full transmission of radiofrequency energy to the target tissue.
Although aging is one of the main causes of skin deformities, it is not the only factor. Fatigue, lack of sleep, overwork, stress, unhealthy diet, alcohol and smoking, harmful sun exposure, and genetic factors also negatively affect the skin. As a result, various problems arise, ranging from wrinkles to loss of elasticity and moisture. Avoiding these factors is a major step toward healthier and more youthful skin. Proper skincare and a balanced diet can also help delay the effects of aging. FDA-approved Scarlet S gold needle radiofrequency therapy is considered one of the most effective non-surgical facial rejuvenation methods available today.
Radiofrequency technology has been used for many years in ENT surgeries to reduce and tighten nasal concha tissue. After observing that controlled radiofrequency energy causes tissue tightening, the method was also adopted in medical aesthetic treatments. The Scarlet S gold needle device generates electromagnetic radiofrequency waves with a duration of 100–800 ms and a power of 2 MHz. The device head contains 25 gold-plated microneedles that can penetrate the skin at depths ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 mm. This allows radiofrequency energy to be delivered from the skin surface to deeper layers.
Since Scarlet S treatment is performed using local anesthetic creams, pain is minimized. The procedure is suitable for both men and women of all age groups. Another advantage is the short recovery time. No side effects are observed after treatment. Thanks to the shock-free microneedle technology, complications such as redness, swelling, bruising, bleeding, or scarring do not occur.
