AQUAGOLD® CLINICAL FACIAL
For bright, dewy, “awake” skin, an individualized AquaGold® facial is a great choice, utilizing natural, chemical-free ingredients to restore your natural glow and achieve beautiful skin. If you desire to treat fine lines and wrinkles, click here to learn more about the AquaGold® FineTouch™ neurotoxin and dermal filler treatments.
The facial version of the AquaGold® treatment process uses the proprietary FineTouch™ device that is also used for the delivery of neurotoxins and hyaluronic acid fillers provided by our CANS nurse injectors to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, along with adding volume to areas of the face.
For an AquaGold® facial, we prepare an individualized “cocktail” of ingredients to address your specific skincare concerns. Growth factors that stimulate the skin and help maintain collagen levels, pigment reducers prohibit melanin response, the purest hyaluronic acid that provides exceptional hydration, niacinamide (vitamin B) to brighten tone, tranexamic acid that reduces areas of pigmentation, glutathione that lightens skin tone, PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) that aids regeneration of skin and soft tissue are all options for your facial treatment.
PDGF+ may be added to your AquaGold facial to boost and target cell proliferation, promotes the formation in new and stronger blood vessels, wound healing and collagen production.
AquaGold® facials are effective for tightening, plumping, brightening, improving texture and tone, reducing areas of pigmentation or melasma, reducing inflammation and redness, and enhancing the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores. These benefits are achieved by the FineTouch™ delivery system using 20, 24 carat gold super fine needles that deliver the active ingredients into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin) penetrating the outer layer to ensure effective delivery. This results in improved quality and structure of the skin enhancing cell regeneration at a deeper level.
For brightened, dewy, “awake” skin an individualized AquaGold® facial is a great choice using natural chemical-free ingredients to bring back your natural glow and beautiful skin.
