Quick Q&A

What is Scarlet X gold microneedle RF and how does it work?

Scarlet X uses 25 gold-plated microneedles to deliver bipolar RF at depths from 0.3 to 4.0 mm. A teardrop-shaped heat zone forms around each needle (the Na Effect), aiming to stimulate collagen while reducing bleeding and crusting.

Who is Scarlet X suitable for, and is it used for acne scars and enlarged pores?

It may suit people with enlarged pores, acne scars or skin laxity, and those who want tightening of the neck, the area under the chin or the scalp. Suitability is decided after a physician examination.

How many Scarlet X sessions do I need in Nişantaşı and how long is each session?

Usually 3 sessions are planned, one per month, each lasting about 30–40 minutes. The aim is for results to last 12–18 months on average, although this varies from person to person.

What is the downtime after Scarlet X microneedling, and how does it feel?

Mild redness may last 2–4 hours after the session. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to support comfort during the treatment.
