Technology Detail

Skin Rejuvenation

Scarlet X Gold Needle

Scarlet X Gold Needle is an innovative skin rejuvenation technology that combines RF (Radiofrequency) energy with micro needles. It increases collagen production by reaching the deep layers of the skin with gold-coated micro needles. This technology provides skin tightening and rejuvenation with a minimal invasive approach.

Session Duration 30-60 minutes
Number of Sessions 3-6 sessions

Scarlet X Gold Needle

What is Scarlet X Gold Needle RF?

Scarlet X is a next-generation skin rejuvenation platform developed by VIOmed (South Korea), combining fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy with gold-coated microneedle technology. The device inserts 25 units of 24-karat gold-coated micro needles at adjustable depth (0.5-3.5mm) and delivers bipolar RF energy directly into the dermis layer.

The choice of gold coating is deliberate — gold is biocompatible with the lowest allergic reaction rate, safe even for sensitive skin. Gold also has among the highest electrical conductivity of any metal, ensuring lossless and homogeneous energy delivery to tissue.

Scarlet X delivers proven results in skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, pore minimization, acne scar treatment and overall skin quality improvement by strongly stimulating collagen and elastin production. Clinical studies show 25-30% collagen density increase even after a single session.
What is Scarlet X Gold Needle RF?

How Does It Work?

Scarlet X works through dual mechanisms: mechanical micro-injury and thermal RF energy. 25 gold-coated micro needles penetrate skin at controlled depth (0.5-3.5mm) and emit bipolar RF energy (2MHz) from each needle tip.

Mechanical effect: Micro needles create microscopic channels triggering the body's natural wound healing cascade — inflammation, proliferation and remodeling — ultimately initiating new collagen type I and III production.

Thermal RF effect: Bipolar RF energy from each needle tip heats surrounding tissue to 55-65°C, denaturing existing collagen fibers (immediate tightening) and triggering strong neocollagenesis via heat shock proteins (HSP).

This dual action provides 2-3x stronger collagen stimulation than microneedling or RF alone.
1

Skin Prep & Anesthesia

Face cleansed, topical anesthetic cream (4% lidocaine) applied, 30-minute wait for full numbness.

2

Depth & Energy Settings

Needle depth set per zone: cheeks/forehead 1.5-2.0mm, periorbital 0.5-1.0mm, neck 1.0-1.5mm, acne scars 2.0-3.5mm. RF energy personalized per skin thickness.

3

Scarlet X Application

Device head placed on treatment area, 25 gold needles simultaneously penetrate and deliver RF. Each stamp takes 0.1 seconds. Full face systematically scanned with 2-3 passes per area. Procedure takes 20-30 minutes.

4

Growth Factor Infusion

Micro channels remain open 30-60 minutes post-procedure. This window is used for hyaluronic acid, growth factor or PRP serum infusion — absorption is 300-400x greater than normal skin.

Treatable Conditions

Scarlet X has wide application in dermatological and aesthetic indications. The ability to treat multiple skin concerns in the same session is a major advantage.

Results
Session 1: skin radiant, pores tightened. Session 2: visible firming. Session 3: 60-70% improvement in wrinkles and scars. Full results 3 months after the final session.
Consultation
In-clinic or online

Who Is It Suitable For?

Scarlet X can be safely applied across a wide age range and skin types, for both preventive (25-35 early anti-aging) and therapeutic (35-65 wrinkles, sagging) purposes.

Suitable Candidates

  • Those seeking skin tightening and wrinkle treatment (ages 25-65)
  • Those with acne scars — atrophic, ice pick and boxcar type scars
  • Those with enlarged pore complaints
  • Early aging signs and preventive anti-aging seekers (25-35)
  • Those with neck and décolleté wrinkles
  • Those seeking hyperhidrosis treatment

Not Suitable For

  • Active acne (inflammatory, cystic) — acne treatment must be completed first
  • Areas with active herpes simplex or skin infection
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Pacemaker or metallic cardiac implant carriers
  • Isotretinoin users or those who discontinued in past 6 months
  • History of keloid scar formation

FAQ

Thanks to topical anesthetic cream applied 30 minutes before, most patients feel no pain. The sensation described is mild pressure and warmth. Brief stinging may be felt in thin-skinned areas like around the eyes but it is tolerable. Pain score is typically 2-3 out of 10.
Even after the first session, skin radiance, pore reduction and texture improvement are noticeable. Significant tightening appears from session 2. For acne scars and deep wrinkles, best results are seen after 3-4 sessions. Collagen production continues between sessions, each building cumulatively.
Recovery is very short. Post-procedure mild redness and minimal edema occur — resembling a sunburn appearance. Significantly reduced within 24 hours, almost completely gone by 48 hours. Can be covered with mineral makeup from day 2. Social life in 1-2 days, exercise in 3-5 days.
Not mandatory but strongly recommended. Micro channels increase absorption 300-400x. PRP growth factors reach deep layers enhancing collagen stimulation. Good results without PRP; 20-30% better results with PRP.
