Skin Renewal with Scarlet S Gold Needle RF in Denizli

Gold needle treatment brings two separate methods together in one procedure. The microneedles open tiny channels in the skin and start the repair process, while radiofrequency energy heats the tissue at the tips of these channels and tightens the collagen. This heating effect is what sets it apart from Dermapen microneedling, which uses needles alone.

How Does Scarlet S Renew the Skin?

When the gold microneedles in the device's handpiece, opened specifically for each patient, are applied to the target area, they create micro-injuries in the lower layers of the skin. Radiofrequency waves sent through the channels opened by the needles heat the tissue and trigger the body's production of collagen and elastin. These two proteins are the main building blocks that keep the skin firm, supple and smooth.

We set the needle depth, the treatment speed and the radiofrequency energy level according to the type of problem and the area of skin being treated. This creates a separate protocol for each patient; even on the same face, different settings may be used on the forehead, the cheeks and the jawline.

Which Problems Is Gold Needle RF Used For?

• Tightening: loss of elasticity, defining the face and jawline, firming the neck, sagging on the body and arms
• Skin quality: fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, excess sebum
• Scars: acne scars, other scars and stretch marks (striae)
• Other: inflamed acne, fine facial vessels (telangiectasia), pigment spots and excessive sweating

If your concern is pigmentation or sweating, gold needle treatment is only one of the options for these problems. For pigmentation, the pigmentation treatment methods are weighed up together, and for sweating, all the options for excessive sweating treatment.

How Does Gold Needle RF Work on Acne Scars?

Severe acne that was not adequately treated in the teenage years can leave pitted scars on the face. Beneath these scars the collagen is irregular and damaged. Microneedling and radiofrequency given in a course of sessions start a rebuilding process in this collagen layer, and the pitted look lessens over time.

For deep scars we can combine gold needle treatment with injectable methods. Compared with some methods that peel the surface, the recovery time is short; days of crusting and heavy peeling are not expected.

What Is the Ballerina Lifting Protocol?

Ballerina Lifting is a non-surgical facial lifting protocol developed for the Scarlet S device. The scalp is added to the treatment of the face, neck and body. The scalp is an area that surrounds the face and is a continuation of the same skin; studies by the team that developed the device report that treating this area increases the tightening effect on the brows, forehead, neck and jawline.

Does Scarlet S Treatment Hurt?

We apply a local anaesthetic cream to the area 30 minutes before treatment, which keeps any discomfort during the procedure to a minimum. The device works with shock-free gold needle technology. After treatment, pinpoint redness is seen; on thin-skinned areas a small bruise can rarely form and fades within a few days.

How Many Gold Needle Sessions Are Needed, and How Far Apart?

Sessions are 1 month apart. We decide the number of sessions at the examination according to the problem and the structure of your skin. The rejuvenation protocol consists of 3 to 4 sessions, while acne scar and stretch mark treatment may need more.

Positive effects begin to show after the first session and increase with each one. We can combine the treatment with mesotherapy or PRP to give extra support to skin quality.

How Should I Look After My Skin After Scarlet S?

After treatment there is mild redness, which settles within 1 to 2 hours. You can go straight back to your social life. During healing we recommend keeping your skin well moisturised and using sunscreen regularly. On the first day, staying away from saunas, intense exercise and acid-based products that may irritate the skin helps healing.

Who Should Not Have Gold Needle Treatment?

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• A pacemaker or another electronic implant in the body
• Active cold sores, infection or an open wound in the treatment area
• Keloids, that is, a tendency to form excessive, raised scars
• Allergy to gold or other metals

If you have recently taken isotretinoin or you take a blood-thinning medicine, be sure to mention this at the examination; the timing of treatment may change as a result.
