Gold needle radiofrequency is an advanced minimally invasive aesthetic treatment used for skin rejuvenation, tightening, and addressing various skin concerns. Associate Professor Tuğba Falay Gür provides a comprehensive explanation of the procedure, its benefits, and the treatment process, helping patients achieve healthier and more youthful-looking skin.
What is Gold Needle Radiofrequency?
Gold needle radiofrequency therapy is based on applying radiofrequency energy through fine, gold-plated needles placed in the deeper layers of the skin. This treatment is designed to enhance skin elasticity, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, prevent sagging, and improve overall skin texture. The gold needles efficiently deliver RF energy, promoting skin renewal and collagen production.
Objectives and Goals
The primary aim of gold needle radiofrequency therapy is to reverse signs of aging and achieve healthier, younger-looking skin. The main goals include:
- Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles through RF energy applied via micro-needles.
- Skin Tightening: Boosting collagen and elastin production for firmer and more elastic skin.
- Minimizing Pores: Reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and smoothing the skin texture.
- Improving Skin Tone and Texture: Correcting pigmentation irregularities and evening out skin tone.
- Preventing Sagging: Lifting sagging areas on the face and body for a more youthful appearance.
- Overall Skin Rejuvenation: Enhancing the skin’s general appearance for a healthier and more vibrant look.
How Gold Needle Radiofrequency Works
The therapy involves the placement of fine, gold-plated micro-needles into targeted skin areas, delivering RF energy to the deeper layers. This energy generates heat, promoting the restructuring of collagen fibers. The gold needles ensure deeper and more effective energy delivery, increasing the efficacy of the treatment. During the process, controlled micro-injuries are created, triggering the skin’s natural healing response and accelerating regeneration.
Treatment Process
Gold needle radiofrequency therapy typically includes the following steps:
- Assessment: A specialist evaluates skin type, aging signs, and treatment needs.
- Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and local anesthesia is applied if needed.
- Needle Insertion: Fine gold-plated needles are carefully placed in the targeted areas of the skin.
- RF Application: The RF device delivers energy through the needles. A mild warming or tingling sensation may be felt during this phase.
- Cooling and Comfort: Cooling systems are used during and after the procedure to protect the skin.
- Post-Treatment Care: Specific aftercare recommendations, including moisturizers and sun protection, are provided to support skin healing.
