Building a Combined RF Microneedling Treatment Plan For Your Patients
Building a Combined RF Microneedling Treatment Plan For Your Patients
With so many new advancements in aesthetic medicine, combining RF microneedling with complementary therapies has become a trusted approach for comprehensive skin renewal due to its ability to support collagen stimulation and visible tissue improvements. Scarlet SRF, developed by Viol Co., Ltd. (Seongnam, South Korea) and distributed in the U.S. by Aesthetic Management Partners (AMP), is a leading RF microneedling treatment device renowned for its versatility and patient experience.
When combined thoughtfully, technologies like NOUVADerm™, Cellenis® Derma PRP, and EXO|E® Skin Revitalizing Complex can complement Scarlet SRF in creating a personalized, multi-step approach for aesthetic practices. These protocols offer treatment flexibility, minimize invasiveness, and support patient-focused strategies.
As Dr. Dan Margolin, MD, of Physician Aesthetic Specialists, shared in a recent interview with The Aesthetic Guide:
“We have had amazing results utilizing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in conjunction with Scarlet RF… We also supplement it with EXO|E™… Our favorite combination therapy is Scarlet RF to build collagen and elastin within the deeper layers of skin, followed by NOUVADerm, a 1927 nm thulium skin resurfacing laser… for a comprehensive and effective regenerative treatment.” —Dan Margolin, MD, Physician Aesthetic Specialists, Lenexa, KS Published in The Aesthetic Guide, January/February 2025
This perspective reflects how forward-thinking practitioners are combining advanced technologies to develop protocols that align with patient needs and evolving expectations.
What Sets Scarlet SRF Apart
Many medical practitioners use Scarlet SRF in protocols designed to improve the appearance of skin laxity and texture on the face and body—including commonly treated areas like the abdomen, face, neck, and knees. Providers often describe Scarlet SRF as one of the most comfortable RF microneedling devices they've worked with, citing its handpiece design and treatment efficiency as key advantages. They note that patient comfort often plays a critical role in protocol completion, helping to support satisfaction, retention, and overall practice performance.
Scarlet SRF is differentiated by its precision-engineered linear robotic motor, which allows for smooth, controlled needle motion and consistent energy delivery. This stands in contrast to snap-motor-based systems, which some practitioners say can feel more abrupt or uncomfortable during treatment. The non-insulated, gold-plated needle array supports even energy distribution across the treatment area.
At the heart of the system is the proprietary NA Effect, developed by Dr. Jongju Na, which delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy through microneedles to create focused, independent zones of tissue coagulation around each electrode.
Practitioners tell us that the combination of the linear motor and NA Effect allows them to treat multiple skin depths more efficiently—often requiring fewer passes. This contributes to what many describe as a more comfortable experience for their patients, while also helping reduce overall procedure time. For providers treating high volumes or where downtime is a concern, this efficient workflow is a valuable advantage.
Maximizing Results With RF Microneedling Combination Therapies
Today’s leading aesthetic providers are seeking flexible solutions that allow them to tailor treatments to a wide range of individual skin concerns. With technologies like Scarlet SRF and its compatible combination therapies, practitioners tell us they’re able to build treatment plans that address a variety of patient needs—whether related to skin tone, texture, or overall revitalization goals.
These devices are often selected for their customizable settings, year-round usability, and ability to treat different skin types with minimal downtime. Practitioners report that this versatility not only expands the range of patients they can treat, but also helps deliver a more personalized, comfortable experience—ultimately driving stronger loyalty and satisfaction over time.
That’s why many providers tell us they’ve chosen Scarlet SRF as their RF microneedling device of choice. After experiencing the treatment firsthand—either on themselves or through observing patient responses—they often realize just how essential it becomes to their practice.
Layering Scarlet SRF and NOUVADerm™ for Next-Level Skin Revitalization
According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Kristen Aguirre, MD, FAAD, combining Scarlet SRF radiofrequency microneedling with the NOUVADerm™ 1927nm Thulium fractional laser delivers powerful, visible results—especially for patients seeking improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall revitalization.
In a recent clinical example, Dr. Aguirre treated a patient in her 30s using Scarlet SRF, followed by a NOUVAGlo™ treatment and the EXO|E® Skin Revitalizing Complex. The patient saw noticeably firmer, smoother skin after just one session—particularly on the forehead—and immediately asked how often she could return.
In another case, Dr. Aguirre combined mid-cheek filler with Scarlet SRF, NOUVADerm™ Clear for pigmentation, and EXO|E® Skin Revitalizing Complex to support recovery. The result was a visibly brighter complexion, enhanced smoothness, and an overall more youthful appearance.
While individual outcomes may vary, Dr. Aguirre emphasizes that thoughtful layering of these technologies—what she considers an ideal RF microneedling combination—allows practitioners to target multiple concerns in a single visit. This creates more value for the patient and greater satisfaction without added downtime.
EXO|E® Skin Revitalizing Complex: Supporting Scarlet SRF Combination Treatments
Practitioners tell us that integrating EXO|E® Skin Revitalizing Complex into RF microneedling treatment plans with Scarlet SRF can enhance the patient experience and help support visibly reduced downtime. When paired with energy-based treatments like Scarlet SRF, this 100% plant-based system offers a powerful topical companion that aligns with both patient comfort and treatment goals.
Formulated with patented consortia factors (CFx-α1)—a proprietary blend of naturally derived nanoparticles including exosomes, liposomes, and proteins—EXO|E® is designed to support balanced skin function and visible revitalization. Providers often incorporate it into Scarlet SRF combination therapies to help optimize the look of skin texture, tone, and hydration following in-office procedures.
EXO|E® is also part of a complete three-step system that includes D|TOX (a pre-treatment primer) and RE|PAIR (a post-care serum), giving practitioners a full topical protocol that works in synergy with Scarlet SRF to support smoother, more vibrant-looking results over time.
The Gold Standard in RF Microneedling
Scarlet SRF is widely considered a gold standard in RF microneedling treatment, known among practitioners for its ease of use, patient comfort, and year-round versatility. With over 500,000 treatments performed globally, providers consistently share positive feedback about its performance across a broad range of skin types.
Many report that Scarlet SRF delivers consistent, visible improvements with minimal downtime—making it a reliable choice for busy practices looking to offer personalized care and scalable results.
