What Is Gold Microneedling?

Gold microneedling (microneedle radiofrequency) is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment in which ultra-fine gold-coated needles penetrate the skin at specific depths and deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy to the targeted tissue, creating controlled thermal stimulation that significantly enhances collagen production. Dr. Nuriyya Guliyeva effectively uses this technology for the treatment of acne scars, skin laxity, and enlarged pores.

Difference Between Standard Radiofrequency and Gold Microneedling

While standard RF delivers energy through the surface of the skin, gold microneedling delivers RF energy directly into the targeted depth of the skin. This allows the surface layer to remain protected while creating a much stronger effect in the deeper layers. This advantage also minimizes the risks associated with laser treatments in darker skin tones.

Treatment Areas

  • Acne scars and superficial depressions
  • Skin sagging and laxity
  • Enlarged pores
  • Fine wrinkles
  • Striae (stretch mark) treatment
  • Excessive sweating treatment (hyperhidrosis)

Treatment Protocol

  • Application of topical anesthetic cream (30–45 minutes before the procedure)
  • Procedure duration: 45–60 minutes
  • 3–4 sessions performed at intervals of 4–6 weeks
  • Mild redness for 24–48 hours after the treatment is considered normal

Improvement in skin tightness and a reduction in the appearance of scars can be noticed after the second or third session. Full results typically develop within 3–6 months. Dr. Nuriyya Guliyeva often combines gold microneedling with PRP, exosome therapy, or mesotherapy to achieve a synergistic and more effective outcome.
