Scarlet X (Gold Needle)

Scarlet X aims to improve skin tightening and elasticity. At her practice in Nişantaşı, Dr. Nur Bayraktar offers personalized treatment plans.

Controlled Stimulation Beneath the Skin, Tightening and Balance on the Surface

Over time, the skin can lose its elasticity, pores may enlarge and sagging or tone irregularities may appear in certain areas. All of these changes are not only related to aging, but also to sun exposure, stress, environmental factors and lifestyle habits.

At her practice in Nişantaşı, Dr. Nur Bayraktar uses Scarlet X (Gold Needle Technology) to stimulate both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, aiming for a tighter, more balanced and lifted appearance.

What Is Scarlet X and What Does It Do?

This treatment uses fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered through multiple microneedles to stimulate collagen production in the skin. The microneedles used during the procedure are gold-coated, which provides high biocompatibility with the skin.

The intended effects include:

Skin tightening and lifting
Reduction in the appearance of fine lines
Refining and tightening of pores
Support for areas such as the eye contour, cheeks, jawline and neck
More even, smoother skin texture
Softening of pigmentation irregularities (depending on individual assessment)

After the treatment, a natural feeling of firmness in the skin and visible renewal over the following weeks may be observed.
