Rejuvenate Your Skin From Within
Gold needle therapy is a scientifically proven skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers fractional radiofrequency energy directly under the skin. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Demet Akpolat aims for the most effective results by personalizing the application depth and energy level according to each patient’s skin needs.
How does the Gold Needle work?
Fine, gold-coated micro-needles are inserted into the skin at a predetermined depth, delivering radiofrequency energy directly to the target tissue. This controlled heat effect stimulates collagen and elastin production, increases skin firmness, and triggers restructuring in the deeper layers without disrupting surface integrity.
Thanks to the gold plating, the needles provide maximum compatibility with the skin, minimizing discomfort during the procedure.
