AquaGold vs. Traditional Microneedling vs. MicroBotox: Which is Right for You?


1. Delivery Mechanism:

  • AquaGold: This advanced treatment uses a patented micro-channeling device with 24-Karat gold-plated needles, thinner than human hair, to deliver a customized blend of serums, including vitamins, hyaluronic acid, Botox, and dermal fillers, directly into the skin.
  • Traditional Microneedling: Fine needles create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. Serums are applied topically after the needling process.
  • MicroBotox: Uses a very fine needle to inject diluted Botox into the superficial layers of the skin, reducing pore size, oil production, and smoothing fine lines.

2. Customization:

  • AquaGold: Highly customizable, allowing for a personalized mix of ingredients to address your specific skin concerns.
  • Traditional Microneedling: Customization is limited to the topical serums applied after the needling process.
  • MicroBotox: Primarily focuses on using diluted Botox for reducing fine lines and controlling oil production.

3. Key Benefits:

  • AquaGold: Combines microneedling with the infusion of beneficial serums, enhancing hydration, texture, and overall tone while minimizing fine lines and pores.
  • Traditional Microneedling: Ideal for boosting collagen production, improving skin texture, and reducing scars or stretch marks.
  • MicroBotox: Targets superficial layers of the skin, refining skin texture, minimizing pores, and controlling oil production.

4. Downtime:

  • AquaGold: Minimal to no downtime. You may experience mild redness, which quickly subsides.
  • Traditional Microneedling: Redness and possible swelling can last for a few days as the skin recovers.
  • MicroBotox: Similar to AquaGold with minimal downtime, though it may vary depending on the treatment’s extent.

In Summary:

  • AquaGold is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with the direct infusion of active ingredients.
  • Traditional Microneedling is ideal for those focusing on collagen production and improving skin texture, particularly for issues like scars and stretch marks.
  • MicroBotox is best suited for clients looking to refine their pores and manage oil production while smoothing out fine lines.
