What is Gold Needle?

The gold needle procedure, also known as fractional radio frequency, is one of the skin rejuvenation and beautification applications. This procedure helps reduce the appearance of skin deformities, wrinkles, and blemishes caused by aging or environmental factors, making the skin look younger and more radiant. The gold needle procedure can be applied not only to the face but also to other parts of the body in sessions.

The number of sessions is planned according to the deformation in the treated area. As the gold needle procedure is a non-surgical intervention, problems like scarring or swelling do not occur, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities shortly after the application. The device used in the gold needle application does not affect the upper layer of the skin, but the lower layers are affected by the high frequency used. This frequency creates controlled damage to the lower layers of the skin, stimulating natural collagen production. The collagen produced by the skin helps to eliminate wrinkles and blemishes while making the skin look healthier and more radiant. The use of needles in the procedure prevents energy loss by protecting the skin surface from damage.

How is Gold Needle Applied?

The gold needle procedure is a less painful and easier process compared to many other skin rejuvenation methods. Additionally, it does not require long hours of application, and individuals can resume their daily activities after the procedure, making it a frequently preferred method in recent years. The duration of the gold needle procedure varies between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The number and frequency of sessions depend on the condition of the treated area.

The procedure begins with cleaning the area to be treated and applying an anesthetic cream to prevent any pain or discomfort. After applying the cream, a waiting period is necessary for it to take effect. Special needle tips are used for each patient. During the procedure, patients may feel a tingling or slight discomfort. If severe pain is felt during the procedure, the doctor should be informed. Redness in the treated area is expected within the first 24 hours after the application. If the treatment is applied aggressively, redness and peeling of the skin may continue for up to 5 days.

Post Gold Needle Procedure Care

Paying attention to certain points after the gold needle procedure is extremely important for accelerating the healing process and preventing potential complications. However, the points to be considered may vary depending on the general health condition and the specific recommendations of the professional performing the application. In general, the points to be considered after the procedure include:

Face Cleaning

If the gold needle treatment is applied to the face, it should not be washed on the day of the application. In the following days, it is important to keep the treated area clean, but without overdoing it. During the cleaning process, gently massage the skin and avoid harsh scrubbing motions.

Makeup

Makeup should not be applied after the procedure. Additionally, makeup should not be applied without the approval of a specialist, as the skin needs to rest during the healing process.

Sun Protection

The skin may be more sensitive after the session. Therefore, it is important to protect it from harmful sun rays. Avoiding sun exposure on the day of the application is particularly important.

Use of Skin Care Products

Swelling, dryness, redness, and tightness of the skin are expected after the procedure. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly apply moisturizing creams for 3 days after the procedure. The products used should be alcohol-free and avoid harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin.

Hot and Cold Applications

As the skin is very sensitive after the gold needle procedure, hot and cold applications should be avoided. Avoid taking hot baths for a few days after the procedure.

Exercise

Avoid excessive exercise after the procedure. It is also very important to refrain from heavy exercises for the period recommended by the specialist.

Monitoring the Healing Process

If any unexpected effects are observed after the procedure, it is extremely important to contact the specialist. The healing process varies depending on the skin.
