Gold-X is a medical-grade radiofrequency (RF) microneedling system that combines both pulsed wave and continuous wave energy to target deeper layers of the skin. With specially designed 300-micron needles and a precision control system, Gold-X offers a powerful yet controlled approach to skin rejuvenation. It is suitable for a wide range of skin types and addresses multiple concerns. This procedure is non-surgical and minimally invasive.
Gold-X treatment rejuvenates the skin by delivering controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy into the deeper dermal layers. This energy stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to restore firmness, elasticity and an even skin tone over time.
The system operates at 2 MHz, transmitting energy through 300-micron, bi-polar non-insulated micro-needles that penetrate the skin at a precise depth of 0.3 mm to 4 mm. This targeted approach allows for accurate heating of the treatment area while protecting the surrounding tissue from unnecessary thermal damage.
The combination of Pulse Wave (PW) technology and the Needle Ablation (NA) effect enables selective coagulation of damaged skin structures — such as irregular blood vessels and pigmented cells — while maintaining overall skin health.
By repairing micro-damage and remodelling collagen, the treatment gradually improves skin texture and tone across a series of sessions, leaving the skin smoother and more refined in appearance.
Some of the key elements of the mechanism include:
| STEPS | DESCRIPTIONS |
|---|---|
| Preparation of the treatment area | The skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort. Protective measures are taken to ensure patient safety. |
| Needle delivery and RF energy | The Gold‑X handpiece is guided over the treatment area. Ultra-fine needles deliver RF energy at controlled depths to stimulate collagen and target pigment or vascular irregularities. |
| Thermal stimulation | The RF energy generates heat in the dermis, promoting tissue repair, collagen remodelling and skin tightening. Abnormal vessels or pigments are selectively targeted for improved skin clarity. |
| Comfort management | Topical anaesthetic and precise energy settings ensure minimal discomfort throughout the procedure. |
| Skin recovery | Treated skin undergoes natural regeneration over the following weeks, improving firmness, texture, tone and overall radiance. |
There are several benefits that the treatment offers, such as:
Gold-X is ideal for addressing a wide variety of aesthetic concerns. This includes, but is not limited to:
| STEPS | DESCRIPTIONS |
|---|---|
| Consultation and assessment | Our doctor evaluates your skin condition, discusses your goals and designs a personalised treatment plan, selecting the appropriate depth and pulse mode for optimal results. |
| Preparation | The skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is applied thereafter. This allows for a pain-free experience while the microneedles deliver RF energy efficiently. |
| Test patch (if needed) | For first-time treatments or sensitive areas, a small test patch may be performed to ensure your skin responds well to the energy settings. |
| Gold-X energy delivery | The handpiece is moved over the treatment area in controlled passes. You may feel mild warmth, tingling or gentle pressure as the RF energy stimulates collagen and targets pigmentation or vessels. |
| Soothing and calming | After treatment, a cooling and calming product is applied to reduce redness or sensitivity. Our doctors will provide post-treatment instructions to optimise healing. |
| Follow-up scheduling | Your treatment course is customised according to your skin concerns. Follow-up sessions ensure progressive improvements and long-lasting results. |
The improvements from Gold-X develop gradually as your skin’s natural repair processes are activated. Each session builds upon the last, producing subtle but visible rejuvenation over time. Typically, the results unfold as follows:
To maximise the results of your Gold-X treatment and support optimal healing, follow these post-care recommendations:
The Gold-X treatment combines radiofrequency and microneedling technology to stimulate collagen renewal and improve overall skin quality. By delivering precise energy to the deeper layers of the skin, it supports smoother texture, firmer tone and improved clarity with minimal downtime. When performed by trained practitioners, this treatment offers a balanced approach to skin rejuvenation that targets specific concerns while maintaining healthy, resilient skin.

Yes. Gold-X can complement other non-invasive treatments such as lasers or skin boosters for enhanced results. Our doctor will advise on the most ideal combination for your individual needs.
Initial improvements in skin texture and radiance can appear within a few days to a week. Collagen and tissue remodelling continue for over 1 to 3 months, with progressive tightening, smoothing and tone improvement after each session.
Gold-X provides noticeable improvement, but the results are not permanent. This is because your skin will continue to age naturally, and factors such as sun exposure, lifestyle, and ongoing inflammation can affect how long results last.
Visible changes effected by Gold-X typically develop gradually and it requires a course of regular sessions for more long-lasting results. This is because the device works by strengthening the skin’s deeper layers, promoting collagen, and reducing vascular or pigment-related issues over time.
After completing a course, most patients maintain their results best with periodic maintenance sessions every 6–12 months.
The number of sessions varies depending on your individual skin condition and treatment goals. Most people notice visible improvement after the first few sessions, but a typical treatment plan usually involves 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Your doctor will assess factors such as your skin type, level of laxity, pigmentation or vascular concerns, and how your skin responds to energy-based treatments. Those with more advanced skin concerns may require additional sessions for optimal results, while others may benefit from periodic maintenance treatments to sustain collagen renewal and skin firmness over time.
