Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AquaGold facial?

AquaGold is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a micro-fine needling device to deliver a customized blend of ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants, directly into the skin. It’s designed to improve hydration, texture, and overall skin tone.

How does AquaGold differ from traditional microneedling?

AquaGold uses a cluster of very fine needles combined with a customized ingredient blend delivered during treatment, rather than relying solely on needling to stimulate the skin. The punctures are extremely small, which is part of why the procedure tends to involve minimal visible downtime.

Is an AquaGold facial painful, and is there downtime?

The tiny punctures created during treatment are generally well tolerated and described as minimally uncomfortable rather than painful. There’s typically no downtime, so clients can return to normal activities immediately afterward.

Can the ingredients be customized for my skin?

Yes, the blend used during your AquaGold facial can be adjusted based on your specific skin concerns, whether that’s dryness, oiliness, sensitivity, or acne scarring. Common ingredients include hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants.

How does AquaGold compare to a HydraFacial?

AquaGold uses a micro-needling device to infuse ingredients beneath the skin’s surface, while HydraFacial uses vortex suction technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin without needles. Both are non-invasive with little downtime, so the better fit depends on whether you prefer micro-infusion or a deep-cleansing approach.

Can AquaGold be combined with other facials?

Yes, many clients alternate AquaGold sessions with our medical facials to combine deep hydration with treatment of other specific concerns, like acne or hyperpigmentation. Your provider can help build a plan that layers these treatments over time.
