How It Works

WHAT IS AQUAGOLD TREATMENT?

The treatment includes using 24K gold-plated micro-needles that are made of stainless steel. These microneedles open microchannels on the top layer of the skin and prepare the skin for the delivery of skin products. These skin products can be dermal fillers, Botox, Vitamins and others. This way aged and wrinkled skin becomes smooth and youthful-looking again. At the same time, the needles stimulate collagen production which eventually brings to facial rejuvenation. This microchannel technology effectively delivers essential ingredients directly into the skin and improves facial concerns.

The Aquagold treatment device has been approved and tested by dermatologists which makes it safe and effective. The 20 needles that are used in this treatment are not thicker than human hair and go into the surface layer of the skin without causing much discomfort. They are 0.6 micrometers long and 0.13 micrometers wide and cause minimal injuries. This way the risk of scarring or bleeding is greatly lowered. The needles are administered perpendicularly which also makes the treatment much more comfortable.

Aquagold works similar to standard micro-needling but it is more precise and delicate. Therefore it can also be used for sensitive areas like around the eyes or mouth. Also, it doesn’t cause as many side effects as traditional micro-needling.

WHAT CAN AQUAGOLD TREATMENT ADDRESS?

This treatment can be beneficial for almost everyone because it significantly reduces visible scars, improves fine lines and wrinkles and makes the skin more elastic. It achieves general improvement in the skin’s health and radiance.

Aquagold is such an effective treatment because it involves two therapies. The microneedles trigger the renewal of the skin cells and boost collagen production, while the serums that are administered into the dermis enhance the results even more.

Every patient can get a customized treatment plan that will address his/her specific skin concerns.

Aquagold treatment can treat wrinkled skin with Botox or Dermal fillers and achieve gentle and natural smoothness of the patient’s skin. Signs of aging can be significantly reduced with the use of dermal fillers. The treatment achieves a natural-looking increase in skin’s elasticity and radiance.

Aquagold treatment is normally done on the face and neck but it can also be effective in treating hands and décolletage. The serums that are delivered to the skin with Aquagold treatment precisely target the problematic areas and effectively treat them. One more benefit of Aquagold is that it makes topical skin products more absorbable by the skin.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

The treatment is safe for patients in their late 20s and for those over 50. So, it can be used as a preventive measure for patients who are just starting to notice the signs of aging and as a solution for patients who are bothered with wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation. It is suitable for both men and women who wish to rejuvenate their faces with minimal risk of allergic reaction and minimal to no downtime.

    Patients who have active acne breakouts should avoid this treatment until their skin has healed. Also, ladies who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid Aquagold.

  • WHAT DOES AQUAGOLD TREATMENT INVOLVE?

    When the patient arrives at Lucia Clinic, first he/she is consulted with a skin therapist, who assesses the patient’s skin and creates a custom-made treatment plan. The treatment plan specifically addresses the patient’s skin concerns. The patient informs the therapist about his/her goals and expectations from the treatment. The therapist determines which skin concerns need to be treated - wrinkles, loss of volume, dull-looking skin and others. Also, the therapist determines if the patient needs more than one treatment session.

    Then the therapist thoroughly cleans the patient’s face and applies a topical numbing cream. The therapist then uses the Aquagold device with the specific serum and passes it over the patient’s targeted areas. When the treatment is over, a soothing mask is applied to the patient's face to reduce any unwanted side effects.

    The treatment lasts for about 30 minutes and achieves an improved complexion and fresher and healthier-looking skin.

  • SMOOTHING THE SKIN WITH MESO-BOTOX

    One of the ingredients that can be delivered into the patient’s skin during Aquagold treatment is Botox. This powerful booster achieves dramatic facial rejuvenation. The Meso-Botox application doesn’t involve administering Botox into the patient’s facial muscles but rather into the dermis layer. This way larger areas of the dermis are covered in a gentler way.

    Meso-Botox treatment can effectively treat skin imperfections no matter the skin type. It can improve acne scars, reduce large pores and eliminate the signs of aging. Once fine lines and wrinkles are reduced the face gets a nice and plump look because the skin is smoother and tighter. The best part is that all the results are completely natural-looking. The patient’s skin radiates in a healthy and refreshed way.

    Other cosmetic injectables that can be administered during Aquagold treatment include Dermal fillers and Hyaluronic acid. They both have their benefits like moisturizing the patient’s skin and reducing superficial acne scars. All of them provide wonderful results.

  • AQUAGOLD TREATMENT DOWNTIME AND SIDE EFFECTS

    Since Aquagold is a minimally invasive treatment, the patient may return to his/her daily activities straight after. Microneedles cause only a little irritation and redness on the treated area. The patient may experience mild skin sensitivity for a couple of hours. The treatment is really fast and can be easily fitted into the busy schedule. To protect the skin, the patient should only use a high SPF. It is advisable not to have chemical peels and exfoliating products a few days before the treatment and to avoid sauna, steam rooms and swimming a couple of days after the treatment.

  • RESULTS OF AQUAGOLD TREATMENT

    Aquagold treatment offers a lot of benefits for the patients. It reduces the sizes of the pores, improves the appearance of scars and sun-damaged spots and makes the skin tone more even.

    The initial results are visible after the single treatment session - the skin is much smoother and more elastic. The results of Meso-Botox can be seen immediately - the skin seems tighter. The results gradually improve, as the new collagen starts to build up. It takes a little time for the skin to regenerate completely so some of the improvements can be seen 48 to 72 hours post-treatment.

  • HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS OF AQUAGOLD LAST?

    The duration of the effects depends on the serum that has been administered to the skin.

    The patient may decide to have follow-up treatment sessions which need to be 3 to 4 weeks spaced out.
