The trend toward less invasive, more comfortable, and more effective treatments in medical aesthetics continues to gain momentum year after year. Aquagold Fine Touch micro-injection system remains one of the most successful examples of this trend, continuing to grow in popularity in 2026.
What Is Aquagold?
Aquagold Fine Touch is a patented micro-injection device containing 20 gold-plated micro-needles — each thinner than a human hair (0.6 mm in length). A customised serum cocktail loaded into the device's reservoir is delivered homogeneously into the superficial layer of the skin through these micro-needles.
Gold-plated needles are preferred because gold possesses biocompatible and antimicrobial properties, which minimises the risk of skin irritation.
What Is Included in an Aquagold Treatment?
One of Aquagold's greatest advantages is that its contents can be fully customised to the patient's individual needs. Commonly used components include:
- Hyaluronic acid (diluted): Provides natural volume and increased hydration within the skin
- Botulinum toxin (micro-dose): Minimises pores, controls sebum production, and imparts a smoother appearance
- PRP or PRF: Delivers growth factors that support skin renewal
- Vitamins and antioxidants: Enhances skin radiance with compounds such as vitamin C and glutathione
- Peptides and growth factors: Stimulates collagen production
The physician evaluates the patient's skin type and concerns to formulate the most appropriate cocktail. This personalised approach is one of the key features that distinguishes Aquagold from standard mesotherapy methods.
How Is the Treatment Performed?
- Consultation: Skin analysis is conducted and treatment goals are established
- Skin cleansing: The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed
- Topical anaesthesia (optional): Because the needles are extremely fine, most patients tolerate the procedure without anaesthesia
- Serum preparation: The personalised cocktail is loaded into the Aquagold device
- Application: The device is gently pressed against the facial area, and the micro-needles deliver the serum into the skin
- Completion: The procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes
Advantages of Aquagold
- Near-painless application: The micro-needles are so fine that the procedure is virtually pain-free
- Zero downtime: Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment
- Homogeneous distribution: The simultaneous action of 20 needles ensures even delivery of the serum across the skin
- Customisable formulation: Bespoke formulas tailored to each patient
- Natural appearance: Delivers a natural glow and freshness rather than an exaggerated result
- Suitable for all skin types: Can be safely applied to all skin types, including darker complexions
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Aquagold treatment is ideal for patients presenting with the following concerns:
- Dull skin and loss of hydration
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Post-acne skin irregularities
- Pre-event skin brightening
Treatment Frequency and Results
Initial results are generally noticeable within a few days, with a visible improvement in radiance, plumpness, and smoothness. For optimal results, 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart are recommended. Maintenance sessions can be repeated 2–3 times per year.
The duration of results varies according to the components used, but effects are generally sustained for 1–3 months.
