Microneedling is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment proven to address skin concerns like acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and more. But certain advances like Scarlet Radio Frequency Microneedling can provide additional benefits. Come along as we compare each method.
How Does Traditional Microneedling Work?
Traditional microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy or skin needling, uses fine needles in a pen device to create microscopic punctures in the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production to smooth and plump the skin, treating a variety of skin concerns.
It also helps improve transdermal absorption of serums applied afterward up to 100x more than untreated skin alone. Microneedling promotes collagen stimulation and helps to retexture the skin to rejuvenate the complexion.

Which is Best for You?
Our extensively trained skin care providers at Colair begin all consultations with a 4D Facial Imaging Scan to peer deep under the skin’s surface. We then make a recommendation using these scan results, science, and expert opinion and experience, to determine the best treatment plan for your individual concerns and desired results. The biggest difference between RF and traditional Microneedling is that RF Microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy even deeper into the skin to reach natural protein building blocks and stimulate collagen. Both treatments used at Colair Beauty Lounge and Med Spa are FDA-approved to be safe and effective.
If your goals are:
- Tightening skin: Scarlet RF is superior
- Smoothing fine lines: Comparable results
- Area on the Body: Scarlet RF can be used anywhere from scalp to toe!
- Cost concern: Microneedling more budget friendly
- Quicker results: Scarlet RF stimulates faster collagen
