Aquagold microneedling is an innovative, non-invasive facial treatment option for rejuvenation that effectively addresses fine lines, acne scars, large pore sizes, and more. Aquagold involves using 24-karat gold micro-needles to activate the body’s natural healing process, resulting in new collagen production. Collagen is a skin protein that contributes to structural support, a smooth skin texture, and a youthful appearance. It is no wonder that Aquagold is one of the most popular non-invasive facial treatments offered at Dr. Michele Green’s private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood.

The Aquagold Fine Touch treatment uses incredibly fine needles that are thinner than a strand of human hair in order to bypass the epidermal layer, directly delivering revitalizing, custom-made microinfusion treatments to the layers of the dermis. Aquagold allows for the powerful delivery of retinol, Vitamin C, anti-aging serums, growth factors, antioxidants, Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane directly into the skin with no downtime or discomfort. If you’re seeking a way to revitalize the skin easily in as little as one session, Aquagold microneedling treatment may be right for you. In her New York office, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green has been customizing Aquagold microneedling treatments with amazing results. Aquagold is entirely painless, has no recovery time, and will produce skin tightening and rejuvenation in just one single treatment. Dr. Green is a world-renowned dermatologist who has been perfecting cosmetic treatments in NYC for over 25 years. An expert in Botox, Juvederm, Sculptra, Thermage, microneedling, and cosmetic laser treatments, Dr. Green will give you the best cosmetic results.

Dr. Michele Green is an internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist with over two and a half decades of experience providing some of the world’s most discerning individuals with the best non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including Aquagold microneedling treatment. Regarding facial rejuvenation, Dr. Green takes a holistic approach and embraces a less-is-more philosophy, customizing each patient’s treatment plan according to their specific concerns, skin type, and aesthetic goals. For her dedication to her patients and expertise, she is consistently identified as one of NYC’s best dermatologists by Castle Connolly, New York Magazine, and Super Doctors.

What is Aquagold microneedling?

Aquagold Fine Touch ® is a revolutionary in-office microneedling device. Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) and microinfusion are combined in an Aquagold Fine Touch treatment. The Aquagold Fine Touch microneedling device contains 24-karat gold needles that are uniquely designed to treat the face, neck, hands, and décolletage in only 15 minutes and leave your skin glowing and more youthful. It’s able to penetrate deeper within the layers of the dermis than many other microneedling devices, reaching 600 microns deep. Additionally, Aquagold Fine Touch is safe to use on delicate areas of skin and can deliver 1,200 to 2,000 microinjections of revitalizing serums and formulations per minute. Through Aquagold’s unique microinfusion delivery system, these “thinner than a strand of human hair” micro-needles allow combinations of ingredients to be directly delivered into the dermis in a way that was never before possible. Aquagold is an excellent facial treatment option for addressing skin concerns such as fine lines, large pores, and uneven skin texture, and it can provide general skin rejuvenation that lasts up to six months.

What is Microneedling Treatment?

Microneedling treatment is a popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure that entails applying a microneedling device equipped with tiny needles to the skin’s surface to create controlled micro-injuries, activating the natural wound healing process of the body. Through this method, the tiny pinpricks to the skin kick-start collagen and elastin production and disrupt the skin’s “memory” of discoloration, age spots, and injury or acne scarring. Microneedling can also improve pore size and skin texture, as well as minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling treatment is a simple process that revitalizes the skin with little to no downtime required, making it easy for patients to access long-lasting skin rejuvenation benefits. Depending on the aesthetic goals of the patient and the severity of the skin concerns being treated, multiple microneedling treatment sessions may be required to achieve the final desired results. When you consult with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she will work with you to determine which facial treatment is best suited to your rejuvenation goals.

How does Aquagold differ from traditional microneedling?

Aquagold is a unique microinfusion system that relies on ultra-fine 24-karat gold needles. This allows for microinjections of exciting peptides like Cytocare 516, vitamins like B12, and injectable formulations. The aquagold method allows Dr. Green to infuse novel neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, as well as hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane. This microinfusion process allows patients to receive an enhanced microneedling procedure that further boosts the skin-rejuvenating properties of microneedling. In turn, patients can leave an Aquagold microneedling session with greater skin hydration, smoother skin texture, improved elasticity, smaller pore size, and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. These stunning results can last up to six months, with no downtime from the Aquagold procedure.

Whereas Aquagold is primarily a microinfusion treatment, traditional microneedling facial treatments are primarily for encouraging new collagen production. However, traditional microneedling treatments can be enhanced by applying topical serums to the skin’s surface after microchannels have been created. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and depigmentation serum are two of the most popular serums used with traditional microneedling. PRP is a serum derived from a sample of the patient’s blood, spun in a special centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. PRP contains an abundance of growth factors that promote even more regeneration at the cellular level to optimize rejuvenation.

Patients interested in treating hyperpigmentation and correcting an uneven skin tone can benefit from pairing their traditional microneedling treatment with a topical depigmenting serum. Whether melasma, sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or another form of discoloration, a microneedling treatment with depigmenting serum is a safe and effective option for achieving a more even-toned complexion. The depigmenting serum used in Dr. Green’s private dermatology office is a unique blend of powerful yet gentle skin-brightening agents that work against melanocyte activity in the skin. The result is an even-toned complexion with an observable reduction in hyperpigmentation.

Internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green offers Aquagold, radiofrequency, and variations of traditional microneedling treatments for skin rejuvenation at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood. When you consult with Dr. Green, she will work with you to determine which facial treatment is best suited to your specific concerns and goals.

Does Aquagold Really Work?

Yes! Aquagold Fine Touch microneedling treatment, particularly when combined with exciting microinfusion treatments, is highly effective in boosting collagen levels within the skin, as well as reducing the appearance of acne scars, issues of skin texture, fine lines, and large pores. The Aquagold “super facial” has become a popular option for those seeking optimal rejuvenation without downtime, multiple treatment sessions, or intensive follow-up care. Additionally, Aquagold microneedling is a popular complement to other non-invasive cosmetic procedures, such as Clear and Brilliant laser treatment and Botox or dermal filler injections. The versatility of the Aquagold applicator allows for the treatment to be carefully tailored to each individual’s skin needs, and Dr. Green is an expert when it comes to curating microinfusion for glowing, youthful skin.

Is Aquagold FDA-Approved?

Aquagold Fine Touch is an FDA-approved microneedling applicator for professional use only. When it comes to Aquagold microneedling, it’s important to work with a board-certified dermatologist, as Aquagold’s applicator is only provided to medical professionals, and safe application of restorative serums and formulations can only be made by an expert. Dr. Green is an internationally renowned specialist in anti-aging and cosmetic dermatology and can work with you to tailor the best Aquagold microneedling experience.

Is there any downtime associated with Aquagold?

As Aquagold is a non-invasive treatment, there is no downtime required for treatment. The procedure does require topical numbing cream for comfort, and patients can resume normal activity immediately after their treatment. Dr. Green does recommend that you maintain a “fresh face” (no makeup or sunscreen) for 24 hours after your Aquagold microneedling session. After your treatment, Dr. Green may suggest a curated skincare regimen to further maximize your results with her custom-designed MGSKINLAB line of products. When you have Aquagold Fine Touch Microneedling treatment with Dr. Green, she will provide you with all of the pertinent aftercare information required for achieving and maintaining ideal cosmetic results.

How long does Aquagold Last?

Aquagold microneedling treatment typically provides total facial rejuvenation in a single treatment session and produces cosmetic results that last up to six months. Disclaimer: for those who have more fine lines, wrinkles, or uneven skin texture, a second treatment session may be recommended. If a second treatment session is advised, it must be at least four weeks apart from the first session. When you consult with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she will work with you to create a customized rejuvenation treatment plan and timeline that best suits your skin concerns and aesthetic goals.

What is an Aquagold Facial?

An Aquagold Facial is a customizable Aquagold microneedling treatment that takes advantage of Aquagold Fine Touch’s unique microinfusion delivery system. The Aquagold Facial uses microinjections of exciting peptides, growth factors, vitamins, antioxidants, neuromodulators, and dermal fillers in order to provide natural-looking, long-lasting, pan-facial rejuvenation. With the Aquagold “super facial,” patients can leave an Aquagold microneedling session with greater skin hydration, smoother skin texture, improved elasticity, smaller pore size, and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. These stunning rejuvenation results can last up to six months, with essentially no downtime required.

Can dermal fillers be used with Aquagold?

Yes! Dermal fillers are a popular microinfusion option via Aquagold microneedling. Dermal fillers like Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane can be delivered via Aquagold to improve the appearance of fine lines, large pores, and wrinkles. Though the use of dermal fillers as a direct injectable will provide more dramatic volume correction and wrinkle reduction, using these dermal fillers in a microinfusion delivery system via micro-channels in the skin allows for subtle improvement and rejuvenation of the entire skin layer. Essentially, it’s using the same amazing formulation of these FDA-approved dermal fillers to fulfill a different need in the skin: improving skin laxity and creating a firmer, smoother skin texture. If you’re seeking to correct more substantial volume loss or deeper fine lines and wrinkles, direct dermal filler injections can also be combined with your Aquagold treatment plan. In fact, since both Aquagold and dermal fillers involve little to no downtime, many of Dr. Green’s patients incorporate both of these cosmetic procedures into their facial treatment plans for rejuvenation. Dr. Green will work with you to select the appropriate dermal filler types for your personal aesthetic goals.

How much does Aquagold cost?

The cost of Aquagold treatment varies widely depending on the skin’s initial condition, the serums and microinfusions chosen, and the individual aesthetic goals of each patient. However, in terms of how much Aquagold’s fine touch is, the cost of a single Aquagold session ranges depending on which neurotoxins and dermal fillers are chosen to microneedle into your skin for your facial treatment. The results from a single Aquagold treatment are extremely long-lasting, and the majority of patients leave their session with a visible improvement to their skin that feels well worth the cost.

Where can I get Aquagold fine touch?

Aquagold Fine Touch treatment is provided exclusively by doctors and professional healthcare practitioners. For the best rejuvenation results, you need to work with a board-certified dermatologist who can best meet your needs. Dr. Michele Green is an internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist with over two and a half decades of experience providing some of the world’s most discerning individuals with the best non-invasive facial treatments, including Aquagold Fine Touch. Dr. Green’s vast knowledge and experience allow her to tailor Aquagold treatments that rejuvenate your skin, and the safety and satisfaction of her patients are her top priority.

Can Aestheticians use Aquagold Treatment?

When it comes to microneedling treatments that penetrate deep within the dermis, only certified medical professionals are licensed to apply treatment safely. Additionally, the curation of microinfusions often hinges upon vast medical knowledge to ensure that the serums being applied are safe and effective for each patient. Therefore, Aquagold fine touch microneedling treatment should only be administered by a board-certified dermatologist, such as Dr. Michele Green in New York City.

What is Microchanneling?

Similar to microneedling, the ProCell Microchanneling procedure helps to generate collagen in the skin, too, but via a slightly different device. For example, the microneedling treatment uses a rolling device, and Aquagold options are based on puncture-based, fine needles. Microchanneling is more similar to Aquagold in how it is used and can be used on a patient every few weeks.

Does Aquagold replace Botox?

Aquagold is not a replacement or alternative for Botox but rather a complementary facial treatment to neuromodulator injections. Botox injections are the gold standard for treating and preventing dynamic fine lines, which form over time due to repeated facial expressions. The most common areas to be treated with Botox include the glabella, crow’s feet, and forehead. The injectable neuromodulator temporarily targets the facial muscles responsible for expression, resulting in a smoother skin texture. The rejuvenation results of Botox last up to four months, with most patients engaging in regular maintenance treatments to keep up the best effects.

Aquagold is a customizable microinfusion facial treatment that improves skin texture, hydration, and elasticity. Aquagold and Botox injections can both be incorporated into one’s cosmetic treatment plan to address different signs of aging and provide pan-facial rejuvenation. When you consult with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in New York City, she’ll determine which cosmetic procedures you are a good candidate for and how to incorporate them into your facial treatment plan.

Combining Aquagold Fine Touch Treatment with other non-invasive cosmetic procedures

Aquagold is a facial treatment for rejuvenation that requires zero downtime, making it easy to pair with complementary cosmetic procedures, such as resurfacing laser treatments and peels. Many patients combine their Aquagold treatments with cosmetic injectables, like dermal fillers and Botox. Dr. Green will customize your cosmetic treatment plan to meet your needs and goals. Dr. Green is an internationally renowned expert in cosmetic dermatology with over two and a half decades of experience providing some of the world’s most discerning individuals from around the globe with the best non-surgical treatment options available, including Aquagold.

What are the side effects of Aquagold treatment?

One of the greatest benefits of Aquagold is that there are few potential side effects of the non-invasive facial treatment. The most common side effects of Aquagold include a mild amount of redness and swelling in the treated area, which tend to resolve independently within several days of the procedure. To reduce skin irritation and promote healing following the Aquagold treatment, Dr. Green recommends using gentle, hydrating skincare products, such as Hyaluronic Acid serum. From her specialty line of skincare products, MGSKINLABs, Inc., the Hydra Repair serum is a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which works well to hydrate the skin after Aquagold. When you have your Aquagold treatment with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green, she will provide you with all of the pertinent aftercare required for achieving and maintaining ideal cosmetic results.

Is Aquagold worth it?

The benefits of aquagold include an improved skin texture, enhanced radiance, and a more even skin tone. Due to the ease of having the procedure, zero downtime, few potential side effects, and consistently stunning rejuvenation results, most patients agree that Aquagold is worth it! Dr. Green works with each patient to personalize their Aquagold treatment so that it works best for your skin, providing optimal rejuvenation results that are natural-looking and long-lasting.

How much Botox is in Aquagold?

The number of units of Botox in Aquagold may vary depending on the severity of the skin concerns being addressed and the patient’s skin type. When you have your initial consultation with Dr. Green at her private dermatology, she will physically assess your skin condition and discuss your aesthetic goals with you in order to determine how many units of Botox should be used for microinfusion during your Aquagold treatment. She will also help you establish a timeline for your treatment sessions since the rejuvenation results of Aquagold tend to last up to 6 months.

Is Aquagold better than microneedling?

Both traditional and Aquagold microneedling boast numerous benefits for skin health and appearance. The cosmetic procedure that’s best for you may depend on the specific concerns you would like to address, your skin type, and your aesthetic goals. Aquagold is an innovative microinfusion facial treatment that increases hydration, improves skin hydration and elasticity, and creates a smoother skin texture. Microneedling is a collagen-induction therapy that improves overall skin texture and tone. Most patients require several microneedling treatment sessions in order to achieve their final desired results. Dr. Green will physically assess your skin condition and work with you to develop a customized cosmetic treatment plan that incorporates the in-office procedures suited to your particular needs.
