AQUAGOLD is a microchannel microinjector device that was designed to deliver customized skincare treatments directly into the skin. The treatment device contains 20 ultra-fine, gold-plated needles, each finer than a human hair, and creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries that stimulate natural healing and enhance the absorption of serum-based treatments. Penetrating the skin at a depth of 600 microns, the microchannels ensure precise delivery of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, growth factors, peptides, and neuromodulators.
This technology allows for an even distribution of ingredients, maximizing efficacy while minimizing discomfort and downtime. Optimal for use with various skin types and in a variety of areas, including the face, neck, décolleté, and hands, AQUAGOLD offers immediate improvements in skin texture and hydration, with long-term benefits like reduced fine lines and enhanced skin tone.
Unlike standard microneedling, which uses needles to create micro-injuries in order to stimulate collagen production, AQUAGOLD combines this approach with the ability to deliver customized serums directly into the skin. Each of the ultra-fine needles in the AQUAGOLD device is designed for precision, minimizing discomfort, and ensuring an even distribution of active ingredients. Traditional microneedling may require longer recovery and often necessitates additional topical treatments post-procedure to achieve similar benefits.
This treatment offers improved skin texture and tone, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a boost in overall confidence. When considering treatment with AQUAGOLD Los Angeles patients that come to us also see benefits that include:
At our practice in Los Angeles AQUAGOLD ideal candidates include those with concerns about fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, large pores, and dehydration. This treatment is effective for most skin types and tones, but those with severe skin infections, active acne, or rosacea may not be eligible. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing the treatment and are typically not good candidates.
Our skin specialists will determine if AQUAGOLD is the ideal treatment and review your medical history to identify any potential concerns. To prepare for the treatment, we typically advise patients to avoid sun exposure, exfoliating treatments, and certain skincare products, such as retinoids, for a few days prior to the procedure.
We will start by cleansing the skin to remove any impurities, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The customized serum is then loaded into the AQUAGOLD device, and the microchannel system is gently pressed into the skin, delivering the active ingredients directly into the dermis. The entire procedure typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Most patients notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and hydration following the AQUAGOLD treatment, with optimal results appearing within a week as collagen production increases and the skin absorbs the active ingredients.
Recovery is minimal, with little to no downtime required. Patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately but should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and makeup application for at least 24 hours post-treatment. To maintain results, patients should follow a good skincare routine, stay hydrated, and use sunscreen daily. Regular treatments every three to four months can help sustain the benefits.
