The Golden Needle is actually a perfect combination of two powerful technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. This treatment, applied with high-end devices like Vivace in Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek’s modern clinic in Kartal, sends “healing” signals deep into the skin. As the gold-coated microneedles penetrate the skin, they simultaneously emit radiofrequency waves that heat the tissue from within. This thermal damage triggers the production of collagen and elastin, the main building blocks of the skin, allowing it to repair itself.
How is Golden Needle Applied and What Does It Target?
The treatment process begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin and the application of anesthetic creams. Dr. Erkek adjusts the needle depth at the micrometer level according to the patient’s concerns (such as acne scars, sagging, or enlarged pores). In a procedure lasting about 30-45 minutes, thousands of microchannels are created, and energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin. This method is unmatched in addressing concerns such as improving facial contours, tightening the loose skin on the neck and décolletage area, reducing enlarged pores, and especially eliminating stubborn acne scars.
Advantages of Golden Needle Treatment in 2026 Standards
Why has Golden Needle become one of today’s most popular skin treatments? Here are the reasons:
- Usable All Year Round: Unlike laser systems, the Golden Needle can be safely applied during sunny summer months. Since it doesn’t damage the top layer of the skin, the risk of pigmentation is minimal.
- Quick Recovery Process: The mild redness that occurs after the procedure usually disappears completely within 24-48 hours. Patients can return to their social lives the next day, even applying makeup.
- Long-lasting and Cumulative Results: Collagen synthesis is a time-consuming process. While the first effects appear after 1 month, the true improvement in skin quality peaks after the 3rd session and can last up to 18 months.
- Combination Power: Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek often combines the Golden Needle with PRP or Mesotherapy. The microchannels created allow these nourishing liquids to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin, doubling the effectiveness of the treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions: What You Need to Know About Golden Needle
Is Golden Needle a painful procedure? Thanks to the powerful anesthetic creams used before the procedure, the pain is minimal. Most patients describe the experience as a “slight vibration and warmth increase.”
How many sessions should I have? Depending on the skin type and the depth of the issue, a 3-4 session treatment plan spaced 4-6 weeks apart generally yields the best results. In cases of severe acne scars, the number of sessions can be increased.
What is the feature of gold-coated needles? Gold is the best conductor of energy and has the highest biocompatibility. Since gold needles focus the energy directly from the needle tip to the deeper layers of the skin, unnecessary burns and irritation on the skin surface are prevented.
Post-Treatment Care and Protection
After Golden Needle, your skin is in the “reconstruction” process. During this period, it’s crucial to protect your skin from intense sunlight and environments with excessive heat, such as saunas and steam rooms, for the first 48 hours. Regular use of soothing and moisturizing creams recommended by Dr. Erkek is essential, and you should not go outside without applying sunscreen. Remember, the microchannels opened by Golden Needle are like “healing doors” for the renewal of your skin.
In Conclusion Erasing the marks left by time on your skin and having a tight, pore-free face is no longer a dream. With Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek’s expertise and the Golden Needle technology, you can achieve the best version of your skin.
