10 Facts You Didn’t Know About Gold RF Microneedling

Introduction: 10 Facts You Didn’t Know About Gold RF Microneedling

So what is this new treatment that’s taking the facial market by storm? Gold RF Microneedling is a subset of Fractional Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling. Well, the secret is in the name: our Gold RF Microneedling has gold-plated microneedles. But how will the treatment improve your complexion? Here are 10 facts you didn’t know about Gold RF Microneedling, which is an advanced facial treatment being offered at all Wellaholic outlets in Singapore and the region.

“Gold RF Microneedling may be a relatively new procedure, but it already holds a world of potential to revolutionize skincare!”

Fact 1: Gold RF Microneedling is a Non-Surgical Treatment

Gold RF Microneedling is a revolutionary skin treatment that delivers dramatic anti-ageing results by combining fractional radiofrequency (RF) with microneedling. That stimulate tissue remodelling, thereby triggering the production of collagen. Then, by repairing, remodelling and resurfacing the skin at a cellular level, Gold RF Microneedling is able to improve a variety of skin conditions. That brings us to…

Fact 2: RF Microneedling Improves A Whole Bunch of Skin Woes

Acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks; you name it! Gold RF Microneedling can effectively treat a whole bunch of skin conditions. It can lift saggy skin and revitalise dull and uneven skin tone. It can even minimise the appearance of large pores too!

The radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. RF Microneedling is a safe and effective non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures such as facelifts and skin tightening surgeries. It can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and other areas of the body.

Fact 3: Yes, It’s Actually Gold

Gold RF Microneedling uses ultra-fine gold-plated microneedles which can penetrate the skin without any bruising and bleeding. As the needles penetrate the skin, RF energy is released to trigger collagen and elastin production.The conductivity of the gold-plated needles actually facilitates the transfer of the radiofrequency energy. As the gold-plated needles deliver RF energy to the skin, it creates new microchannels linking your skin’s layers.

Fact 4: Gold RF Microneedling is Backed by Research

We wouldn’t be providing this treatment if we knew it wasn’t effective. There are several research papers that prove the effectiveness of RF Microneedling. There are three studies that we look at for the effectiveness of Gold RF Microneedling.

• In one 2018 study (Source), the RF microneedle treatment offers a minimally invasive treatment option with little downtime for the treatment of acne scars, improvement in skin texture, and reduced size of skin pores. The results suggest this treatment offers high satisfaction in results among clinicians and patients.
• In a 2014 study (Source), it was concluded that RF Microneedling treatment can be considered as an effective modality of treatment for moderate to severe acne scars in patients with an added advantage of minimal downtime and effective improvement.

In a 2020 article (Source), Microneedling with radiofrequency is a great option for skin tightening and resurfacing to treat wrinkles, lip lines, acne scars, other depressed scars, and stretch marks, and it can be used regardless of skin phototype. RF microneedling is deemed safe to use in patients with darker skin types

Fact 4: Gold RF Microneedling is Backed by Research

Yes, Gold RF Microneedling is a scientifically-proven cosmetic treatment that has been backed by research. Several studies have been conducted to investigate the effectiveness and safety of this innovative procedure.

One study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology showed that Gold RF Microneedling significantly improved skin texture, wrinkles, and overall appearance in 100% of the study participants after just one treatment session. Another study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that Gold RF Microneedling was effective in reducing acne scars and improving skin texture with minimal side effects.

Gold RF Microneedling works by stimulating collagen and elastin production through the use of gold-plated microneedles and radiofrequency energy. The gold plating of the needles provides an additional benefit of reducing skin irritation and inflammation, making it a safer and more comfortable option for many patients.

Fact 5: Gold RF Microneedling Is Different From Lasers

Yes, Gold RF Microneedling is a different cosmetic treatment than lasers, although they both can address various skin concerns.

Lasers use light energy to target specific skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines. The energy is absorbed by the skin’s pigment or water content, which generates heat and damages the targeted tissue. The body then naturally repairs the damaged tissue, resulting in a reduction of the targeted skin concerns.

Gold RF Microneedling, on the other hand, uses gold-plated microneedles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. Radiofrequency energy is then applied to the skin through the microneedles, which stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. The gold plating of the needles also provides an additional benefit of reducing skin irritation and inflammation, making it a safer and more comfortable option for many patients.

While both treatments can provide significant improvements in the appearance of the skin, they work differently and may be better suited for different skin types and concerns.

Fact 6: The RF Strength is Adjustable

The delivery of thermal energy deep into the skin is crucial to stimulating collagen production. The radiofrequency energy can be adjusted between 60w to 120w. The amount of power is based on the individual needs of the customer and different skin concerns such as acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation, saggy skin and more.

Fact 7: Needles are System Controlled

This sophisticated technology allows the needle penetration depth to be system controlled. That way, its application can be consistent across the different parts of your face. Different needle sizes are used on the different areas of your skin as well: 0.5 to 1.0mm for the forehead, 1.0 to 2.0mm for the face, and 1.0mm to 3.0mm for treating stretch marks.

The microneedles used in Gold RF Microneedling are ultra-fine too, which can be adjusted between 0.5mm to 3.0mm. Since the microneedles are so thin, they can actually penetrate the skin without causing any bruising and bleeding.

Fact 8: Gold RF Microneedling Has Shorter Downtimes

But you can enjoy a faster recovery time with Gold RF Microneedling. Most of the time, you only need around 5 days; you can even apply makeup 24 hours after your Gold RF Microneedling session. That’s unlike the conventional laser resurfacing treatments for acne scar removal, which usually needs a downtime of 7-14 days before all the skin redness, swelling and skin peeling subside. 

The recovery time is faster when compared to fractional lasers because the outer layer of the skin, the epidermal layer, is spared. With Gold RF Microneedling, precise energy is delivered directly into the dermal skin layer.

Fact 9: Gold RF Microneedling Works Better Than Microneedling

RF Microneedling and Microneedling are both effective cosmetic treatments that can improve the appearance of the skin. However, it’s important to note that RF Microneedling and Microneedling work differently and may be better suited for different skin concerns.

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This results in increased collagen and elastin production, which can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and diminish scars and stretch marks.

RF Microneedling, on the other hand, combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production even further, resulting in more significant improvements in skin firmness, texture, and overall appearance. RF Microneedling is particularly effective at treating more advanced signs of aging, such as deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, and acne scars.

While both treatments can provide significant improvements in the appearance of the skin, RF Microneedling may be more effective for certain concerns.

Here is a table that depicts the differences between RF microneedling and microneedling treatments:

Treatment	RF Microneedling	Microneedling
Treatment Type	Radiofrequency-based treatment	Non-radiofrequency-based treatment
Procedure Description	Uses a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin and applies radiofrequency energy	Uses a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin
Targeted Issues	Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, overall skin rejuvenation	Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, overall skin rejuvenation
Recovery Time	Minimal downtime, some redness and mild swelling	Minimal downtime, some redness and mild swelling
Pain/Discomfort	May cause mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment	May cause mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment
Effectiveness	Highly effective, noticeable results in a few weeks	Effective, but may require several treatments for best results
Cost	More expensive compared to traditional microneedling	Less expensive compared to RF microneedling

Please note that the effectiveness and cost of these treatments can vary depending on various factors such as the individual’s skin type, the specific issues being addressed, and the number of treatments received.

Fact 10: Gold RF Microneedling Can be Enhanced with Serums

Gold RF Microneedling can be combined with 3 possible serums (Hyaluronic Acid, Matrixyl, Resveratrol). The treatment actually allows the three different kinds of serum to penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin. So, expect your skin to be firmer, tighter and more rejuvenated skin after the treatment.
