What is Aquagold Facial?
Aquagold plumps the skin, smooths wrinkles, shrinks pores and stimulates collagen for a flawless complexion.
How does Aquagold treatment work?
Fine hollow-tipped gold needles are used to puncture the skin and create micro-injuries to stimulate collagen growth through the skin’s natural healing process. Simultaneously, a cocktail of Botox, peptides, growth factors, and hyaluronic acid is injected superficially into the skin, each benefitting your complexion in it’s own unique way. Hyaluronic acid plumps the skin, and smooths out wrinkles, restoring suppleness instantaneously. Botox injected superficially into the skin constricts the pores, smoothing out the texture for near pore-less skin, while a vitamin complex, peptides and growth factors boost skin-cell turnover to further heal your skin. For those who are acne prone, salicylic acid is also added to the mix, a potent chemical exfoliant that is great for unclogging your pores from dead skin and oil!
This all-in-one approach is able to give amazing results with the convenience of one office visit!
Am I a good candidate?
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get that glow, the Aquagold facial is here to give you that and more! This treatment can be used on all skin types and skin tones.
When will I see results?
You will notice an immediate plumping to the skin, however maximum improvement can be seen in 3-7 days. Receiving multiple Aquagold treatments at Dr. Sharon Aesthetics in Houston, Texas, can give you continual improvement in the skin and can be done as often as every 1-3 months.
How long do results last?
You can typically expect results to last 3-4 months from the botox in the procedure, while the hyaluronic filler plumping effect can be seen for up to a year. The increased collagen production will continue to benefit your skin to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture as well.

Comparison: Aquagold Facial vs. Other Microneedling Approaches
Aquagold uses a device with tiny gold-plated needles to create microchannels into the skin's deeper layers while delivering a custom blend of nutrients and rejuvenating ingredients below the surface. This triggers your skin's natural healing response and boosts collagen for firmer, smoother skin over time. At the same time, the infused ingredients plump and nourish your skin, giving you an instant glow and lasting improvements.
Traditional microneedling simply creates channels into the skin to stimulate collagen growth. It doesn't include ingredients like serums, Botox, or fillers. However, sometimes serums are added after the initial microneedling step. Aquagold is a more comprehensive treatment.
How Aquagold Benefits Different Skin Types and Conditions
It's gentle and customizable for dry, oily, or sensitive skin. The micro-infusion adds moisture to dry skin and can reduce shine and pore size for oily skin. It also boosts collagen to smooth fine lines and uneven texture. Aquagold is ideal for aging skin because it helps plump, firm, tighten, and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
The Science Behind Gold-Tipped Microneedling in Aquagold Facial
Aquagold uses gold-tipped needles because gold is safe for the skin, even if you have sensitivities. It helps reduce irritation and lowers the risk of infection because it’s naturally antibacterial. The gold also lets the needles glide smoothly, making the treatment more comfortable and gentle.

FAQs
What makes the Aquagold Facial different from traditional microneedling?
Aquagold uses gold microneedles to boost collagen and deliver nourishing serums simultaneously, while traditional microneedling only pokes the skin and adds serums afterward (if at all.) This one-step approach is gentler and has little to no downtime.
Can Aquagold Facial help with acne scars or uneven skin texture?
Yes, Aquagold can help improve mild acne scars and uneven skin texture. The tiny needles spur collagen to soften scars, and the infused ingredients plump and smooth the skin.
What precautions should I take before and after an Aquagold Facial treatment?
Before your Aquagold Facial, Dr. Sharon recommends that you avoid retinol creams, harsh scrubs, and intense sun for at least several days (we provide specifics ahead of your treatment.) Be sure to arrive with a clean face (no makeup or lotion.) After your treatment, avoid makeup for the rest of the day and prevent sweating or sun exposure for 24 hours.
