GOLD NEEDLE RF TREATMENT: PURPOSE, PROCEDURE, AND POST-CARE
The gold needle, also known as fractional radiofrequency (RF) treatment, is an FDA-approved procedure for skin rejuvenation and beautification. It is most effective for skin tightening, pore reduction, scar and acne scar treatment, stretch marks, and eliminating double chin. The most effective areas are the cheeks, jawline, chin, and neck areas. The procedure is performed once every 3-4 weeks, with a minimum of 3 sessions. Before the procedure, the skin is numbed with local anesthetic creams. The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes. Although redness may occur after the procedure, it typically subsides completely within 2 hours, allowing the individual to resume their social activities. It can be combined with other cosmetic procedures in the same session. The effect of the treatment is usually felt immediately after the procedure, but the most intense recovery effect is observed after the 3rd session, around 1 month later.
WHAT IS GOLD NEEDLE RF TREATMENT?
The gold needle, also known as fractional radiofrequency (RF) treatment, is a skin rejuvenation and beautification procedure. It helps reduce the appearance of deformations, spots, and wrinkles caused by aging and environmental factors, making the skin look more vibrant, radiant, and youthful. Gold needle treatment is performed in sessions, and the number of sessions is determined by the physician based on the condition of the skin and the area to be treated. The number of sessions required to achieve the targeted skin appearance depends on the amount and level of deformations on the skin. Gold needle treatment can be safely performed on both the face and different parts of the body. Since it is a non-surgical treatment option, patients can undergo this procedure by allocating a short amount of time. The treatment eliminates unwanted scars, swelling, and redness, and the device used for the procedure does not affect the surface of the skin but delivers high-frequency energy to the deeper layers. Controlled damage is caused to the deeper layers of the skin while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. This helps in healing scars, wrinkles, and skin imperfections, and supports skin renewal. Gold needle treatment can be combined with procedures such as youth vaccine, moisture vaccine, PRP, and mesotherapy.

HOW IS GOLD NEEDLE RF TREATMENT PERFORMED?
A custom-made headpiece containing 36 gold needles (pins) is used. This needle head applied to the skin allows reaching the desired depth (up to 6 millimeters) under the skin, stimulating collagen production with fractional radiofrequency energy that can be delivered in the desired amount and time. It is planned for at least 3 sessions once a month, and the number of sessions can be increased according to the needs of the skin. Before the procedure, the area to be treated is cleaned, and the skin is numbed with local anesthetic creams to minimize pain. After waiting for a short period for the cream to take effect, the procedure begins. Although the duration of a session varies depending on the area being treated, it generally falls within the range of 30-45 minutes. Although redness may occur after the procedure, it typically subsides completely within 1-2 hours. The patients can return to their daily life immediately after the application and can go to work the next day. After the application, the skin should be protected from sunlight, spotlights, and blue light. High-protection factor sunscreen creams are used for this purpose.
