Fractional Radiofrequency method, popularly known as the “golden needle”, is a non-surgical treatment method. It is used to solve many problems on the skin surface. The pits and pigmentations that occur after acne at a young age offer the opportunity to treat the spots. It is used in the treatment of wrinkles and loss of elasticity in the skin in middle and older ages. It is also possible to define the device, which is based on the synergy of multiple processes, as a non-surgical facelift and non-surgical scar treatment device.
How is the Golden Needle applied?
Gold needle is a method that is effective in reducing fine wrinkles on the skin, in the treatment of blemishes and acne, and in general rejuvenation of the skin. It provides tightening in the face and décolleté area. It is also applied on the body and hands.
The device works on the principle of micro-needling. There is a probe at the end of the device. If the procedure is to be performed on the face, a suitable probe is attached to the face, and if the procedure is to be performed on the body, the appropriate probe is attached to the body. A cap with 25 gold needles, which is newly opened for each patient and discarded after the procedure, is attached to the tip of the probe. These titles enter the skin up to the depths set on the screen. The deeper it is inserted, the more collagen is stimulated.
During the needling, radio frequency energy is also given. Devices produced before the golden needle gave radio frequency from the tip of the needle. The gold needle device delivers radio frequency along the entire shaft of the needle. Because it delivers around the entire body of the needle, it is possible to deliver radio frequency energy to both the epidermis, upper, subdermis and deeper dermal tissues as it enters the skin. Since it penetrates every layer, it makes a 3-4 dimensional renewal of the skin.
With this device, the production of hyaluronic acid and elastin, which are the most necessary for tightening the skin, is also triggered. In this way, a healthier, more vigorous and bright looking skin is achieved.
Does the procedure cause pain?
Since local anesthetic is applied before the procedure, there is no pain or redness on the skin. It can be easily applied to patients in a clinical setting without the need for an operating room environment. After the procedure, the patient returns to his daily life.
How long is the processing time?
The time varies according to the area to be treated. It takes an hour if only the face is worked on, an hour and a half if the face and neck are worked together, and 2 hours if the face, neck and mid-décolletage are worked on. In principle, it is not possible to work for more than 2 hours in a single session.
Which patient group can it be applied to?
It is a device with a wide scale that can be used both in young people, in middle ages and in older ages. It is mostly used in the treatment of acne scars and surgical scars in young patients. Scarlet is also used to tighten the skin after laser and liposuction treatments and after pregnancy. After the cellulite mesotherapy, a 3-4 session of gold needle application is applied, the cellulite area is completely cleaned and the skin is recovered.
How many sessions is the golden needle application done?
Although it varies from person to person, 3 sessions of application at one month intervals are usually sufficient. The application is made in every season, regardless of the difference between men and women. It is combined with mesotherapy in the treatment of wrinkles.
