In our time, people work more than usual, get more exhausted, are exposed to more stress and find less and less time for rest. Negative changes due to many causes such as exhaustion, lack of sleep, overtime work, stress, unhealthy diet, food consumption, hormone injection, alcohol, smoking, harmful effects of UV rays, air pollution and several genetic factors affect the structure of the skin, which is the protector of the human body and an important aesthetic element of it.
These changes can take many forms, ranging from wrinkles to loss of elasticity and hydration. Even if all skin-impacting factors are eliminated, it is impossible to prevent the corrosive effects of time. "Fractional radiofrequency", known as the "Golden Needle" or Scarlet S, is an effective method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation by tightening and treating both the skin and subcutaneous connective tissue. It is called the Golden Needle because the needles used for the procedure are coated with gold.
How does the Golden Needle (Scarlet S) procedure work?
Radiofrequency technology has long been used by plastic surgeons and otorhinolaryngologists. Today, radiofrequency technology is still used during nasal concha reduction surgeries. When radiofrequency energy is delivered to tissue in a controlled manner, the tissue response is mainly focusing and tightening. In the ScarLet S fractional golden needle radiofrequency technology, the device produces electromagnetic radiofrequency waves at a rate of 100 to 800 ms with a power of 2 Mhz. The tip of the device includes 25 gold needles that can operate at depths of 0.5 to 3.5 mm below the epidermis. This enables the transmission of energy from the skin surface to the lower layers. The radiofrequency energy given to the lower layers of the skin using the gold needles reaches the substrate of the skin without damaging the surface and induces the production of collagen and elastin. During application, the collagen fibres are stimulated by applying heat from the needles to the tissue. This ensures rapid skin repair and stimulates collagen production. This results in skin regeneration, repair of damaged tissues, glowing and firm skin.
