Frequently Asked Questions About AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ in Los Angeles
What is AQUAGOLD fine touch?
AQUAGOLD fine touch is a microneedling treatment that uses 24-karat gold-plated stainless-steel needles to make tiny punctures in the skin. Microneedling is a minimally invasive technique, and the punctures trigger healing that stimulates collagen and elastin production. Dr. Kia Shakib offers this gold microneedling treatment in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and customizes it to your skin concerns.
How does AQUAGOLD microneedling work?
AQUAGOLD makes tiny punctures in the skin, and the body responds by healing the area, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. The needles are 600 µm long and 130 µm wide, and the device is designed to limit micro-tears and bleeding. Microneedling aims to support smoother, firmer, more toned skin as new collagen and tissue form.
What can be delivered to the skin with AQUAGOLD?
The AQUAGOLD device can deliver products such as retinol, muscle relaxants, dermal fillers, and antioxidants to the skin. Which product is used depends on your concerns and goals. Dr. Kia customizes the approach for each patient, so a treatment for texture and tone may differ from one for aging signs on the neck, hands, or décolletage.
What concerns can AQUAGOLD help with?
AQUAGOLD can help improve skin texture and tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Several device variations are used to treat acne scarring and age spots. It can also be paired with dermal filler for signs of aging on the neck, hands, décolletage, and forearms, and Dr. Kia recommends the approach that suits your skin.
