Aquagold
Why Aquagold?
Aquagold is a microneedling treatment that uses tiny 24 karat gold needles to apply Botox, filler, and hyaluronic acid just below the skin’s surface for long lasting results.
The Aquagold facial device will target fine lines and wrinkles, smooths crow’s feet, refines pores, target pigmentation, acne scarring, dryness, tone, and texture. It also boosts hydration and luminosity for a glow that lasts up to 2-3 months. The treatment works on the full face, neck, around the eyes, eyelids, and up to the lash line, on and around the lips, back of hands and décolleté.
Aquagold treatments can be part of your monthly skin care routine or as a pre- event skin prep. The micro-infusion treatment could be carried out 1 week to a couple of days before the event
