AQUAGOLD

+ Who is it suitable for?

Aqua Gold is a minimally invasive treatment that is suitable for most patients and is ideal in preparation for your next special event. This treatment helps to improve the skin's texture and tone, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving overall hydration. Aqua gold infuses a custom cocktail of mesotherapy solutions, wrinkle relaxers and hyaluronic acid beauty boosters. Platelet Rich Plasma can also be infused into the skin using the Aquagold device to further enhance results.

+ Are the results immediate and how long do the results last?

Aquagold results can be seen from 7-14 days post treatment and results can last approximately 4-6 weeks. Only a small quantity of wrinkle relaxers and beauty booster are used in the Aquagold procedure, as this is an aesthetic treatment intended to enhance skin texture and brightness. This volume of wrinkle relaxers and beauty boosters will not treat muscle tension or add facial volume in the same way these products may traditionally be used.

+ What are the risks and side effects?

The Aquagold Fine Touch procedure is a low-risk treatment. Your skin may be slightly red for 24 hours and may also be more sensitive to the sun for a few days. Each treatment uses a sterile and single-use only device. The needles used only penetrate the skin to 0.5mm deep, which means this causes less injury to the skin than traditional skin needling. Therefore, less downtime is to be expected.

Any medical contraindications and rare side effects, which are mostly related to the products used in the treatment, will be discussed with you prior to treatment.
