What is Gold Needle Radiofrequency?
Gold needle radiofrequency, commonly known as “gold needle” treatment among the public, is a fractional radiofrequency procedure. Gold needle is one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic methods used worldwide. The gold needle application is an energy-based system, meaning it is done with a device without injecting any substance. The best aspect of non-surgical aesthetics is that individuals can continue their daily lives. Especially in patients who prefer non-injection methods or surgery, rejuvenation achieved by triggering the production of their own collagen and elastin is particularly preferred.
Morpheus 8 is an FDA-approved fractional radiofrequency device widely used worldwide. In this procedure, controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered to the skin subcutaneously with micro-needles, heating the skin and stimulating collagen synthesis. The device has different applicators used for various reasons and anatomical regions. Each applicator contains micro-needles that can penetrate different depths. These needles deliver energy to the deeper layers of the skin, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin.
It is used for skin renewal, tightening, pore reduction, reduction of fine lines, reduction of blemishes, acne treatment, correction of acne scars, reduction of surgical scars, reduction of stretch marks (striae), body tightening, reduction of cellulite appearance, reduction of neck wrinkles, and under-eye bags.
