AQUAGOLD® fine touch™
AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ is a micro-channeling device that infuses a customized cocktail of biostimulating ingredients in the skin and allows benefits such as increased collagen, hydration, improving skin pigmentation and texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and reducing pore size. It has 20 microscopic 24K gold-plated stainless steel needles. Each needle is thinner than a piece of hair, causing minimal discomfort while allowing penetration of ingredients directly into the skin layer.
What are in these “cocktail” of ingredients? It is custom made for your specific needs, but generally a mix of Hyaluronic acid, Xeomin, Vitamin complexes, or NCTF 135HA. If you’re up for a blood draw, adding PRF (platelet rich fibrin) can be a great option as well.
FAQ
Why Xeomin (a neurotoxin) in the cocktail? Isn’t that for wrinkles?
When injected with AQUAGOLD® fine touch™, neurotoxins such as Xeomin are injected in very small “micro” amounts right below the skin surface. When these more dilute forms of neurotoxins are injected in small amounts (and on a superficial level), they work differently and on the pilosebacious units of the skin. This leads to reduce pore size and smoother skin. Your facial muscles would not be affected like a regular neuromodulator injection (no “frozen” face!).
How is this different from microneedling?
Microneedling stimulates the skin and increase collagen production. AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ also does stimulate the skin (although lesser degree than microneedling), but the distinct feature is that is it to microinject certain skin related ingredients for maximum benefit.
Where can it be used?
As AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ is designed to not create microtears or cause any significant bleeding, it can be used anywhere in the face (even in sensitive areas such as around the eyes or lips), neck, and even chest.
How Much does it cost?
Cost varies depending on the personalized “cocktail” but general cost is around…
$600 (with PRF and Xeomin leading to the most “glow”)
$500 (with Hyaluronic acid, Vitamins, and Xeomin)
$400 (with Hyaluronic acid and Vitamins; no Xeomin)
