AquaGold is a microchanneling device that uses a series of ultra-fine, gold-plated needles to deliver customized solutions into the skin at a consistent depth. These microinjections are placed superficially, targeting the dermal-epidermal junction where many aspects of skin quality are influenced.

Unlike traditional microneedling, AquaGold allows for the simultaneous delivery of carefully selected ingredients, which may include:

• Diluted neurotoxin
• Hyaluronic acid
• Vitamins and antioxidants
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), in select cases

Because the treatment is superficial and evenly distributed, it improves skin quality without affecting deeper muscle movement or facial volume.

AquaGold for Pore Refinement

Enlarged pores can contribute to an uneven or textured appearance of the skin. AquaGold can help reduce the appearance of pores by delivering small amounts of neurotoxin into the superficial skin layers, decreasing oil production and smoothing the skin’s surface.
Patients often notice a more refined, polished look after treatment.

AquaGold for Skin Texture and Smoothness

AquaGold improves overall skin texture by stimulating mild collagen production and enhancing hydration within the skin.

It can help with:

• Mild textural irregularities
• Rough or uneven skin surface
• Fine superficial lines

The result is smoother, softer skin with a more even feel and appearance.

AquaGold for Skin Hydration and Glow

By delivering hyaluronic acid and other hydrating ingredients directly into the skin, AquaGold enhances moisture levels and improves overall radiance.

Patients frequently describe their skin as:

• More hydrated
• Brighter and more luminous
• Smoother and more refreshed

AquaGold for Redness and Rosacea

AquaGold improves redness with the use of superficial neurotoxin to contract the superficial blood vessels on the surface of the skin.

It can help with:

• redness
• flushing
• broken capillaries
• rosacea

The result is clearer, evenly toned skin with a radiant glow.

These effects make AquaGold a popular choice before events or as part of a regular skin maintenance routine.

AquaGold is most commonly used to treat:

• Face
• Neck
• Décolletage

Because of its superficial delivery, it is particularly well suited for areas where subtle refinement is desired without altering underlying structure.

Patients often ask how AquaGold compares to other skin rejuvenation treatments.

AquaGold differs from traditional microneedling in that it not only creates microchannels but also delivers customized ingredients directly into the skin. Whereas microneedling goes deeper in the skin to help with deeper textural irregularities such as acne scars, Aquagold is delivered more superficially to help with an immediate “glow.”

Compared to laser treatments such as Clear + Brilliant or Fraxel, AquaGold is less focused on resurfacing or collagen remodeling and more focused on enhancing skin quality, hydration, and radiance.

These treatments are often complementary and may be combined as part of a comprehensive plan.

AquaGold treatments are performed in the office and typically take 30 minutes.

A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to enhance comfort. The AquaGold device is then gently stamped across the skin, delivering the customized solution in a uniform pattern.

Patients generally find the treatment very tolerable. Because the needles are extremely fine and the depth is superficial, discomfort is minimal.

After treatment, the skin may appear slightly pink for several hours.

AquaGold involves minimal downtime, making it easy to incorporate into a busy schedule.

Patients can expect:

• Mild redness for several hours
• Occasional pinpoint marks that resolve quickly
• Little to no disruption of daily activities

Makeup can typically be applied the following day. As the skin settles, it appears smoother, more hydrated, and more radiant.

Many patients notice improvement in skin texture and glow within a few days of treatment, with continued enhancement over the following week.

Results are not permanent, and maintenance treatments are typically recommended every few months to preserve the effect.

Because AquaGold focuses on skin quality rather than structural change, it is often used as part of an ongoing maintenance regimen.

AquaGold is well suited for patients who:

• Want to improve skin texture and pore appearance
• Are looking for enhanced hydration and glow
• Prefer a subtle, low-downtime treatment
• Are interested in maintaining skin quality over time

It is appropriate for a wide range of skin types and can be customized based on individual needs.

AquaGold is frequently incorporated into a broader treatment plan that may include medical-grade skincare, neurotoxins, dermal fillers, or laser treatments.

This layered approach allows for comprehensive skin rejuvenation, addressing both structure and surface quality.
