Gold Botox, also known as Aquagold, is a facial treatment that uses a patented fine-touch microinjector device to deliver a customized blend of skincare ingredients to the skin. The device has twenty 24K pure gold-plated surgical grade stainless steel microchannels, each thinner than a human hair, which are linked to a vial containing the ingredients. The gold plating is used because gold does not react with any substances that are naturally found in the human body, so the risk of irritation or allergic reaction is slim. The ingredients delivered via the fine needles can range from vitamins to enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts. Some of the ingredients commonly used in Aquagold treatments include:
-
Botox: A neurotoxin that can reduce the size of pores and smooth out wrinkles.
-
Hyaluronic acid: A primary ingredient in most facial fillers and medical-grade skincare products that gives the skin a hydrated, plumped, and healthy glow.
-
Tranexamic acid: A safe ingredient that calms the skin, restores the skin barrier, and decreases sensitivity to harmful UV.
-
Growth factors: Proteins that stimulate cell growth and division, which can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Enzymes: Proteins that can help break down dead skin cells and improve skin texture.
Aquagold treatments can help rejuvenate the skin, reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and reduce pore size. The treatment is generally safe and suitable for people with metal allergies or fair or sensitive skin. However, it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before undergoing any cosmetic treatment.
