The short version

Aquagold delivers a custom blend just under the surface of the skin through very fine gold-plated needles. No downtime.

What is AQUAGOLD Fine Touch?

AQUAGOLD Fine Touch is a patented micro-infusion device that redefines how active ingredients are delivered into the skin.

Unlike traditional microneedling, which focuses primarily on creating controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen, AQUAGOLD is designed to deposit a customized blend of ingredients at the precise depth where they can have the greatest impact, just below the skin’s surface in the superficial dermis.

The device features 20 needles, each thinner than a human hair and plated in 24-karat gold for biocompatibility. These micro-channels are so fine that they create virtually no trauma, meaning there is essentially no downtime, bruising, or visible redness. The gold-plated needles gently stamp the custom cocktail into the skin in a controlled, uniform pattern, ensuring even distribution of active ingredients across the entire treatment area.

This is the treatment that celebrities and discerning skin enthusiasts request before red carpet events, weddings, and special occasions, and, it is available with exclusive formulations planned around your skin’s specific needs.

Our signature AQUAGOLD formulations

Rx Max Glow: Our signature AQUAGOLD formulation is a carefully curated cocktail of medical-grade ingredients selected to deliver immediate luminosity and skin refinement.

This custom blend may include hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and plumping, skin-brightening compounds for an even, radiant tone, and additional active ingredients chosen based on your individual skin assessment. The Rx Max Glow is designed to give you that coveted glass-skin finish, dewy, smooth, poreless, and effortlessly radiant.

PRP Platinum: For patients seeking the most premium AQUAGOLD experience available in the Hudson Valley, our PRP Platinum formulation elevates the treatment by incorporating platelet-rich plasma harvested from your own blood. PRP is rich in concentrated growth factors that stimulate cellular renewal, enhance collagen production, and accelerate healing. When delivered through the AQUAGOLD device at superficial dermal depths, PRP provides a powerful regenerative boost that improves skin quality over time while delivering an immediate glow. The PRP Platinum option combines the instant gratification of the AQUAGOLD treatment with the long-term regenerative benefits of platelet-rich plasma therapy.

During your consultation, Marissa Martinez-Thiele will evaluate your skin and recommend the formulation that best aligns with your goals, whether you are preparing for a specific event or investing in ongoing skin quality improvement.

The AQUAGOLD experience and results

An AQUAGOLD treatment here is an uniquely pleasant experience.

The procedure takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes and requires no topical numbing, the needles are so fine that most patients describe the sensation as a light tapping or gentle pressing against the skin. There is no pain, no significant redness, and no peeling or flaking.

Immediately following treatment, the skin appears noticeably brighter, smoother, and more hydrated. Pores appear visibly refined, and the skin takes on a healthy, dewy luminosity that many patients describe as an instant glow-up. Because there is virtually no downtime, you can apply makeup and return to all normal activities immediately, making AQUAGOLD a good lunchtime treatment or pre-event skin preparation.

The full benefits of AQUAGOLD continue to develop over the following days as the infused ingredients integrate into the skin. Hydration levels increase, skin texture becomes more refined, and the overall complexion appears more even and polished. Results typically last three to four weeks from a single session. For sustained, cumulative improvement in skin quality, monthly treatments are recommended. Many of our patients at our Fishkill, NY location incorporate AQUAGOLD into their regular maintenance routine alongside other treatments for a consistently even complexion.

How is AQUAGOLD different from regular microneedling?

While both treatments use needles, they serve different purposes. Traditional microneedling uses deeper needle penetration to create controlled injury and stimulate significant collagen remodeling, ideal for scarring, wrinkles, and laxity. AQUAGOLD uses ultra-fine, shorter needles designed primarily to deliver active ingredients into the superficial dermis for an immediate improvement in glow, hydration, pore appearance, and skin quality. AQUAGOLD is a lighter treatment with no downtime, while traditional microneedling is more intensive with a recovery period.

What is in the AQUAGOLD cocktail?

Our Rx Max Glow formulation contains a blend of medical-grade hyaluronic acid, skin-brightening actives, and other targeted ingredients selected based on your skin assessment. Our PRP Platinum formulation adds your own platelet-rich plasma, concentrated from a small blood draw, which provides growth factors that enhance cellular renewal and collagen stimulation. The specific blend is customized for each patient during your appointment.

Does AQUAGOLD hurt?

AQUAGOLD is one of the most comfortable aesthetic treatments available. The 24-karat gold-plated needles are finer than a human hair, and no topical numbing is required. Most patients describe the sensation as a very light tapping or pressing, many find it relaxing. There is no pain during or after the treatment.

How often should I get AQUAGOLD treatments?

For ongoing skin quality maintenance, we recommend monthly AQUAGOLD sessions. Many patients schedule treatments every four to six weeks as part of their regular skincare regimen. AQUAGOLD is also popular as an one-time preparation before special events such as weddings, galas, reunions, or photoshoots, ideally scheduled three to five days before the event for peak glow.

Should I choose Rx Max Glow or PRP Platinum?

The Rx Max Glow is an excellent choice for anyone seeking an immediate glow, hydration boost, and pore refinement, a fit for event preparation or regular maintenance. PRP Platinum is the premium option for patients who want to add regenerative growth factors for enhanced long-term skin quality improvement, including increased collagen production and accelerated cellular renewal. During your consultation at our Fishkill, NY location, Marissa will help you determine which formulation best matches your goals.
