Mesotherapy with Aquagold

AQUAGOLD Information

AQUAGOLD is a microinjection device used to deliver ingredients directly into the skin. We use a combination of Daxxify (a neuromodulator like Botox) and PRP (platelet-rich plasma). The small dose of Daxxify leaves skin looking more luminous, shrinks pores, smooths fine lines, improves pigmentation, and improves overall skin texture but does not address movement wrinkles. PRP improves the appearance and health of the skin by stimulating collagen production, promoting tissue regeneration, and enhancing skin texture.

How is PRP collected?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) involves the use of platelets taken from your own blood. It is obtained in the same way as a routine blood draw, then spun in a centrifuge to separate the blood components. Plasma, which contains the platelets, is separated, activated, and microinjected into the skin with the Aquagold device.

What does the treatment feel like?

Pain is minimal, however topical anesthesia will be used prior to treatment.

How long will the results last?

Results last 10-14 weeks, possibly longer. The treatment can be performed as often as 4 times a year.

What is the downtime?

Are there any risks or possible side effects?

The side effects may include but are not limited to erythema, swelling, and bleeding. These are usually minimal and resolve the day of treatment. Skin infection including bacterial, fungal, and viral infections are rare post treatment. Herpes simplex virus infection can occur following treatment around the mouth. Medications can be prescribed on the day of treatment to suppress an infection. Please call our office for a follow-up appointment if you are concerned about infection.
