Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a procedure where several sterile tiny needles penetrate the skin to create tiny "micro-injuries". This prompts your body’s natural healing powers, creating new collagen and generating other new skin tissue.
What is Microinfusion with AQUAGOLD?
Microinfusion is a more sophisticated drug delivery system. It uses hollow bore needles that are thinner than a human hair to target a specific layer of the skin, the dermis. Microinfusing drugs or vitamins can improve efficacy and decrease side effects. There is less downtime with micro infusion.
What can Microneedling/Microinfusion improve?
For micro infusion with Botox and hyaluronic acid filler we recommend 2-4 treatments a year..
What is the pre-procedure for Microneedling/AQUAGOLD?
Before the procedure we will make sure all makeup and moisturizer is removed from the area to be treated.
How long does the procedure last?

What is the post-procedure for Microneedling/AQUAGOLD?
After your treatment we will apply a calming serum to soothe your skin. There is no major downtime after Microneedling/AQUAGOLD.

Microneedling /AQUAGOLD creates so many channels into the deeper layers of your skin, adding therapies is a great opportunity to deliver therapeutic products to the treated area where they can do the most good. You can use Microneedling with:
- Platelet-rich Plasma: PRP is a solution made from your blood. We spin the blood in a centrifuge until a highly concentrated solution of plasma and platelets remain. PRP contains growth factors that promote blood clotting and proteins that promote cellular growth.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Your skin naturally contains hyaluronic acid, which works to make your skin plumper and more full. The levels as we age naturally decrease, so this a great way to restore a more youthful appearance. For Aquagold we can even add hyaluronic acid filler to the mixture for a longer lasting hydration
- Botox: We can add a micro dose of both to help decrease sebum production, pore size, and give your skin a glass like appearance.
- Vitamin Cocktail: B vitamins, vitamin c, Vitamin E, and ferric acid can all help improve skin texture, appearance, and pigmentation issues. Adding this to your treatment can help address issues like hyperpigmentation.
