AquaGold Microchanneling Q & A

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

• Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

• Shrinkage of Large Pores

• Create a Softer, Smoother Skin Texture

• Reduction of Redness

• Plumping of thin skin – especially around the eyes.

• Improvement in the appearance of acne scars

HOW MUCH DO TREATMENTS COST?

AquaGold is cost-effective because it combines several different treatment modalities in one session. We currently charge $600 for each session of AquaGold, which includes the cost of the HA, Filler, Botox, and the AquaGold single-use device.

HOW MANY AQUAGOLD TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Most patients see great results from just 1 treatment, which will last up to 6 months. Occasionally, when skin is very dry and wrinkled, we will recommend 2 treatments.

HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER TYPES OF MICRONEEDLING AND MICROBOTOX?

AquaGold is different from traditional microneedling in that:

1. It not only improves the texture of the skin through the direct effect on the tiny needle punctures, but it also delivers specialized products through special channels in the tiny, hollowed-up microneedles directly into the skin. The additional effect of the dermal fillers and Botulinum toxins under the skin is what makes AquaGold unique and effective.
2. The device allows the products to be placed within the precise layers of the skin, where pores and fine lines are, for precise treatment.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN HAVING HYALURONIC ACID DERMAL FILLERS INJECTED IN MY FACE?

When dermal fillers are injected deeper into the tissues below the skin, they can restore volume. However, with AquaGold, we’re placing the hyaluronic acid in very small microdroplets throughout the skin of the entire face to smooth the actual skin layer. The filler is used as a collagen stimulator rather than a bulk filler. If you want to restore or add volume in your face in addition to improving skin quality, dermal filler injections can be performed at the same time as AquaGold.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM HAVING BOTOX/XEOMIN INJECTIONS?

With AquaGold, botulinum toxin is injected in very small quantities throughout the face to improve fine lines, contract pores, and decrease redness. It will not relax muscles to prevent wrinkles the way that Botox or Xeomin injected into the forehead and crow’s feet does. AquaGold is more of a rejuvenation technique than are traditional fillers or Botox. If you’re looking to relax wrinkles in addition to improving skin quality, Botox injections can be performed at the same time as AquaGold.

DOES AQUAGOLD HURT OR REQUIRE DOWNTIME?

AquaGold is a very comfortable procedure that is performed without the need for any type of anesthesia or numbing. We expect patients to be able to return to normal activities right after the treatment.

HOW MANY AQUAGOLD TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Most patients see great results from just 1 treatment, which will last up to 6 months. Occasionally, when skin is very dry and wrinkled, we will recommend 2 treatments.
