Microneedle RF (often known as Gold Needle or devices like Scarlet, Morpheus, Vivace) is an advanced technology that delivers radiofrequency energy into the skin through specially designed gold-plated micro- needles.
The controlled thermal effect targets the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which contributes to firmer, brighter, smoother and more refined-looking skin.
Why Is Microneedle RF Used? Anti-Aging / Skin Rejuvenation
This treatment is commonly applied to the face, forehead, glabella, eye area, upper lip, neck and décolleté. It supports collagen and elastin synthesis, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and early signs of skin laxity.
Pore Refinement & Scar Improvement
Microneedle RF can support the improvement of:
- Acne and acne scars
- Surgical scars
- Injury-related scars
- Enlarged pores
After treatment, scars may appear shallower, pores may become tighter and the overall skin texture may look smoother.
Stretch Mark & Skin Tightening
Although stretch marks cannot be completely removed, this method can:
- Reduce their depth
- Decrease their width
- Improve their overall appearance
Since it also targets skin laxity, it may be included in non-surgical tightening protocols.
Post-Treatment Considerations
- Mild redness and swelling may occur for 3–5 hours
- These symptoms typically resolve the same day
- Patients usually return to daily activities immediately
- Suitable for all seasons
Who Should Not Receive Microneedle RF?
- Individuals with epilepsy
- Pregnant women
- Patients with pacemakers
- Individuals undergoing active cancer treatment (chemotherapy/radiotherapy)
- Those with open wounds or active skin diseases such as eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area
