What is Aquagold microneedling?
Aquagold Fine Touch is not a traditional microneedling device but an innovative microinfusion system that stimulates new collagen production and delivers various skin treatments, including Botox and other neuromodulators, dermal fillers, and more. Aquagold is a customizable facial treatment, and Dr. Green will expertly select the microinfusions for your procedure depending on your unique skin concerns and personal aesthetic goals. Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) and microinfusion are combined in an Aquagold Fine Touch treatment. The Aquagold Fine Touch microneedling device contains 24-karat gold-plated micro-needles uniquely designed to treat the face, neck, hands, and décolletage in only 15 minutes, leaving your skin glowing and with a natural-looking, long-lasting, more youthful appearance. Aquagold can penetrate deeper within the dermis layers than traditional microneedling devices, reaching 500 or 600 microns deep. Additionally, Aquagold Fine Touch is safe to use on delicate areas of skin and can deliver 1,200 to 2,000 microinjections of revitalizing serums and formulations per minute. Through Aquagold’s unique microinfusion delivery system, these “thinner than a strand of human hair” micro-needles allow combinations of ingredients to be directly delivered into the dermis in a way that was never possible. The direct microinfusions in the skin’s dermal layers provide instant hydration and a smoother, firmer skin texture. Aquagold is an excellent facial treatment option for addressing skin concerns such as fine lines, large pores, and uneven skin texture, and it can provide general skin rejuvenation that lasts up to six months.

What is Traditional Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling is a popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to stimulate new collagen production in the treatment area with a microneedling device. There are different microneedling devices, but each is equipped with sterile microneedles and applied directly to the skin’s surface by the provider to create controlled micro-injuries, inducing the skin’s natural wound-healing process. Through this method, the tiny pinpricks to the skin kick-start collagen and elastin production and disrupt the skin’s “memory” of irregular pigmentation and acne scarring. Traditional microneedling can improve skin texture and tone, including pore size, fine lines, wrinkles, and melasma. Traditional microneedling can be enhanced by topically applying a specialized serum to the treatment area, such as depigmentation serum or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), directly after the microneedling device is used.
PRP is an autologous serum derived from a sample of the patient’s blood, spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells. Once separated, the platelet-rich plasma is drawn into sterile syringes for application. Platelet-rich plasma is packed with growth factors that aid in healing and enhance the benefits of microneedling. Patients enjoy the accessibility of microneedling; since there is minimal downtime, they can schedule their treatment sessions with ease and combine them with other non-surgical cosmetic procedures for pan-facial rejuvenation, such as Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing. Most patients need at least three microneedling treatments, each spaced approximately 4 weeks apart, to achieve the best results. Depending on the type and severity of the skin concerns being addressed, fewer or additional microneedling treatments may be needed to get the desired results.
While microneedling is a safe and effective cosmetic skin treatment for patients of all skin types and tones, it should always be performed by an experienced board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green to prevent any unwanted side effects and guarantee optimal results. When you consult Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she will work with you to determine which facial treatment best suits your rejuvenation goals and establish a timeline that meets your needs.
How does Aquagold differ from traditional microneedling?
Aquagold Fine Touch is a unique microinfusion delivery system that uses ultra-fine 24-karat gold-plated microneedles, thinner than a strand of human hair. These microneedles allow for microinjecting exciting peptides like Cytocare 516, vitamins like B12, cosmetic injectables like Botox, and dermal fillers. Aquagold allows board-certified dermatologists like Dr. Green to infuse novel neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane directly into the dermal layers of the skin. Direct microinfusions can instantly provide instant hydration and other benefits for skin health and appearance. Patients can leave an Aquagold treatment session with a smoother skin texture, improved elasticity, smaller pore size, and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. The stunning rejuvenation results can last up to six months, and zero downtime is involved, making it easy to schedule a touch-up treatment.
Whereas Aquagold is a microinfusion treatment, traditional microneedling facial treatments primarily encourage new collagen production through controlled epidermal trauma. However, traditional microneedling treatments can be enhanced by applying topical serums to the skin’s surface after creating microchannels. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and depigmentation serum are two of the most popular serums used with traditional microneedling. PRP is a serum derived from a sample of the patient’s blood, spun in a special centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. PRP contains an abundance of growth factors that promote even more regeneration at the cellular level to optimize rejuvenation.
Patients interested in treating hyperpigmentation and correcting an uneven skin tone can benefit from pairing their traditional microneedling treatment with a topical depigmenting serum. Whether melasma, sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or another form of discoloration, a microneedling treatment with depigmenting serum is a safe and effective option for achieving a more even-toned complexion. The depigmenting serum used in Dr. Green’s private dermatology office is a unique blend of powerful yet gentle skin-brightening agents that work against melanocyte activity in the skin. The result is an even-toned complexion with an observable reduction in hyperpigmentation.
Internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green offers Aquagold, radiofrequency microneedling, and variations of traditional microneedling treatments for skin rejuvenation at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood. When you consult Dr. Green, she will work with you to determine which facial treatment best suits your skin type, tone, aesthetic goals, and concerns.
Does Aquagold Really Work?
Yes! Aquagold Fine Touch treatment, particularly when combined with exciting microinfusions like Botox and dermal fillers, is highly effective in boosting collagen levels within the skin and reducing the appearance of skin concerns such as acne scars, skin texture issues, fine lines, and large pore size. The Aquagold “super facial” has become popular for those seeking optimal rejuvenation without downtime, multiple treatment sessions, or intensive follow-up care. Aquagold is a popular complement to other non-invasive cosmetic procedures, such as Clear and Brilliant laser treatment and Botox or dermal filler injections. The Aquagold applicator’s versatility allows the treatment to be carefully tailored to each individual’s skin needs, and Dr. Green is an expert in curating microinfusion for glowing, youthful skin. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green at her private office in NYC’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she will collect a thorough medical and family history, physically assess your skin condition, and review any previous cosmetic procedures you may have had to ensure that the treatment options selected for your rejuvenation protocol work for your needs and goals.
Is Aquagold FDA-Approved?
Aquagold Fine Touch is an FDA-approved microinfusion delivery system for professional use only. Only a licensed medical professional, such as board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green, can provide Aquagold treatment. Due to the controlled epidermal trauma that it causes, Aquagold is considered a medical cosmetic procedure. Additionally, curating Aquagold microinfusion treatments often requires vast medical knowledge to ensure that each patient’s serums are safe and effective for their skin type. Dr. Green is consistently recognized as one of the best dermatologists in New York by Castle Connolly, New York Magazine, the New York Times, and Super Doctors for her dedication to her patients and expertise. She has over 25 years of experience providing the men and women of NYC with the best non-surgical skin treatments available, including Aquagold Fine Touch.
How long does Aquagold microneedling take?
Aquagold is a straightforward skin treatment procedure that an expert like Dr. Green can complete in as little as 15 minutes. Patients love that there is no downtime with Aquagold treatment, meaning that most normal daily activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure. Dr. Green does, however, advise that patients refrain from strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for 24 hours to prevent swelling or irritation in the treatment area. Patients with sensitive skin may wish to use a numbing cream to make the procedure more comfortable. If numbing cream is to be used, it should be applied to the entire treatment area one hour before the scheduled appointment time. Once you arrive at Dr. Green’s private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood, the numbing cream will be removed and the skin sterilized before the Aquagold treatment.
What is the downtime for Aquagold Facial?
One of the biggest benefits of Aquagold treatment is that there is zero downtime. Following the procedure, patients can resume most of their normal daily activities. Dr. Green recommends maintaining a “fresh face” (no makeup or sunscreen) for 24 hours after your Aquagold treatment session to allow the microinfusions to absorb fully and prevent skin irritation while the microchannels on the skin’s surface remain open. After your Aquagold treatment, Dr. Green may suggest a curated skincare regimen to further maximize your results with her custom-designed MGSKINLAB line of products. When you have Aquagold Fine Touch Microneedling treatment with Dr. Green, she will provide you with all the pertinent aftercare information required to achieve and maintain ideal cosmetic results.
How long do Aquagold results last?
Aquagold treatment can provide excellent skin rejuvenation results in as little as one treatment session, lasting up to six months. However, additional treatment sessions may be recommended for patients with more severe skin concerns to attain optimal results. If additional treatment sessions are advised, they must be at least four weeks apart. Patients appreciate that Aquagold can deliver natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation with zero downtime, meaning they can easily schedule their treatment whenever a touch-up is needed. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she will create a customized rejuvenation treatment plan and establish a timeline for your treatments that best suit your skin concerns and aesthetic goals.
How often should I do Aquagold?
Aquagold can provide exceptional skin rejuvenation results in as little as one treatment session. However, patients may wish to partake in additional treatment sessions if they are trying to address more severe skin concerns or are interested in regular maintenance with Aquagold. Each Aquagold treatment should be spaced approximately several weeks apart to allow new collagen production between sessions. Depending on the specific skin concerns being targeted and their severity, patients may require fewer or additional Aquagold treatments to get their desired results. Many patients choose to have Aquagold two or three times a year. The benefit of consulting an expert like Dr. Green for your Aquagold treatments is that your treatment plan, including the number of treatment sessions needed, can be catered to your unique situation. When you consult Dr. Michele Green about skin rejuvenation at her boutique dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she will work with you to establish a timeline for your Aquagold treatments that best suit your particular needs and goals.
What are the side effects of Aquagold treatment?
One of the greatest benefits of Aquagold treatment as a minimally invasive microinfusion procedure is that there is zero downtime and few potential side effects. The most common side effects of Aquagold include a mild amount of redness and swelling in the treated area, which tend to resolve independently within several hours of the procedure. To reduce skin irritation and promote healing following the Aquagold treatment, Dr. Green recommends gentle, hydrating skincare products, such as Hyaluronic Acid serum. From her specialty line of skincare products, MGSKINLABs, Inc., the Hydra Repair serum is a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which works well to hydrate the skin after Aquagold. When you have your Aquagold treatment with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green, she will provide you with all the pertinent aftercare required for achieving and maintaining ideal cosmetic results.
What skincare should I use after Aquagold?
Dr. Green recommends sticking to a particular skincare routine for several days afterward to ensure optimal rejuvenation results and prevent irritation. Patients should not wash the treatment area for 8 hours after Aquagold to allow the microinfusions to absorb fully and protect the skin while the microchannels remain open. Makeup, especially oil-based face makeup, should also be avoided for 24 hours after Aquagold treatment. For at least 48 hours after Aquagold, patients should use gentle, non-irritating skincare products and refrain from using exfoliating ingredients, such as retinol, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). Using gentle, hydrating products after treatment reduces irritation while the skin heals. When you have Aquagold treatment with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in NYC, she will review your current skincare routine to ensure that it includes the active ingredients and products best suited to your skin type, concerns, and goals. If necessary, she will make recommendations for skincare products to use after your Aquagold treatment that will help improve your skin health and appearance in the long term.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is an Aquagold Facial?
An Aquagold Facial is a customizable skin treatment that uses a microinfusion system to rejuvenate skin texture, tone, hydration, and radiance. It delivers microinfusions of exciting peptides, growth factors, vitamins, antioxidants, neuromodulators, and dermal fillers to provide natural-looking, long-lasting, pan-facial rejuvenation. With the Aquagold “super facial,” patients can leave a treatment session with greater skin hydration, smoother skin texture, improved elasticity, smaller pore size, and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. These stunning rejuvenation results can last up to six months without downtime. An experienced board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green should always perform Aquagold Facial treatments to prevent unwanted side effects and guarantee optimal rejuvenation results. Dr. Green is an internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist with over 25 years of experience providing the men and women of NYC with the best non-surgical skin treatments, including the Aquagold facial treatment.
Can dermal fillers be used with Aquagold?
Yes! Dermal fillers are a popular microinfusion option via Aquagold treatment. The beauty of Aquagold treatment is that it is completely customizable, meaning that dermal fillers like Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane can be delivered via Aquagold’s microinfusion system to improve the appearance of fine lines, large pore size, and wrinkles, among other skin concerns. Dermal filler injections may provide more dramatic volume replenishment and wrinkle reduction than Aquagold because of the depth at which injections are placed. Still, the Aquagold microinfusion of dermal fillers allows for subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation of the entire treatment area. Aquagold treatment and dermal filler injections use the same amazing FDA-approved formulations to fulfill different cosmetic needs. If you’re seeking to correct more substantial volume loss or deeper fine lines and wrinkles, direct dermal filler injections can also be combined with your Aquagold treatment plan. Since Aquagold and dermal fillers involve little to no downtime, many of Dr. Green’s patients incorporate these cosmetic procedures into their facial treatment plans for rejuvenation. Dr. Green will work with you to select the appropriate dermal filler types for your facial anatomy and personal aesthetic goals.
How much does Aquagold microneedling cost?
The cost of Aquagold treatment can vary widely depending on the type and amount of microinfusion selected, the size of the treatment area, and the number of treatment sessions required to achieve the final desired results. Pricing can also be influenced by your provider’s experience level and geographic location. The rejuvenation results from a single Aquagold treatment are long-lasting, and most patients leave their session with a visible improvement to their skin that feels well worth the cost. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green at her private office in NYC’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she will work with you to establish an Aquagold treatment plan that caters best to your particular skin concerns and aesthetic goals. At that time, the total cost of your Aquagold treatment will be determined.
Where can I get Aquagold fine touch?
Aquagold Fine Touch treatment is provided exclusively by doctors and professional healthcare practitioners. It is recommended that patients work with an experienced board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Michele Green to prevent unwanted side effects and guarantee the best rejuvenation results. Dr. Green is an internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist with over two and a half decades of experience providing some of the world’s most discerning individuals with the best non-invasive facial treatments, including Aquagold Fine Touch. Dr. Green’s vast knowledge and experience allow her to tailor Aquagold treatments that rejuvenate your skin, and the safety and satisfaction of her patients are her top priority. Dr. Green’s dermatology office is in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, New York.
Can Aestheticians use Aquagold Treatment?
Aquagold treatment is considered a medical cosmetic procedure due to the skin punctures created by the microneedle and, therefore, can not be performed by aestheticians. Aestheticians generally are not allowed to provide medical cosmetic treatments that involve puncturing the skin’s surface, including Aquagold and other microneedling treatments. Only certified medical professionals, such as board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green, are licensed to provide such medical cosmetic treatments. Additionally, the curation of microinfusions often hinges upon vast medical knowledge to ensure that each patient’s serums are safe and effective. Dr. Green is consistently recognized as one of the best dermatologists in New York by Castle Connolly, New York Magazine, the New York Times, and Super Doctors for her dedication to her patients and expertise. She has over 25 years of experience providing the men and women of NYC with the best non-surgical skin treatments available, including Aquagold Fine Touch.
Is Aquagold treatment painful?
No, Aquagold is not a painful skin treatment. Aquagold uses tiny, gold-plated micro-needles to deliver microinfusions and stimulate new collagen production. The micro-needles are incredibly fine and short, making the process relatively painless for the patient. Many patients forgo using numbing cream for Aquagold treatment because of the comfort and ease of the procedure. Some patients with sensitive skin may use a numbing cream to prevent discomfort further. If a topical anesthetic is used, it should be applied to the entire treatment area thirty minutes to one hour before the scheduled Aquagold treatment so there is ample time for it to take effect. Dr. Green conveniently prescribes the numbing cream to your selected pharmacy so that preparation for the treatment is seamless. Once you arrive at Dr. Green’s boutique NYC dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the numbing cream will be removed and the skin sterilized for the procedure. Additionally, there is zero downtime involved with Aquagold, meaning most normal daily activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure.
Does Aquagold Fine Touch microneedling really make you look younger?
Yes! Aquagold is an innovative microinfusion skin treatment that provides various benefits for skin health and appearance. It is a great option for those interested in rejuvenating their complexion without downtime or an invasive procedure. The anti-aging and collagen-stimulating benefits of Aquagold are amplified when paired with microinfusions of dermal fillers and Botox or other neuromodulators. Since Aquagold treatment can be customized, patients can customize their procedure to suit their skin concerns and goals best. In addition to providing a natural-looking, more youthful appearance, Aquagold can be used on skin, improve hydration, and address fine lines, large pore sizes, and acne scars. If anti-aging is your ultimate goal, there may be other cosmetic procedures that would complement the benefits of Aquagold treatment that you also want to take advantage of. When you have your initial consultation with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green, you will have the opportunity to discuss your primary skin concerns and personal aesthetic goals. She will work with you to identify the combination of cosmetic procedures and skin care products best suited to getting your ideal results so that you look and feel like the best version of yourself.
What is Microchanneling?
Microchanneling is a cosmetic procedure that involves microneedling in that it helps generate collagen production in the skin, although it achieves this via a slightly different device. Microneedling devices have fine, sterile microneedles that puncture the skin’s surface layers to stimulate new collagen production. In contrast, microchanneling devices do not cause epidermal trauma to create microchannels. Microchanneling is also generally more superficial than microneedling, meaning there is little, if any, downtime. Microchanneling can help improve the appearance of large pore sizes or fine lines, while microneedling can address a wider range of skin texture and tone issues. Depending on state regulations, aestheticians may be able to perform microchanneling, while microneedling can only be performed by licensed medical professionals like board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green in NYC.
Does Aquagold replace Botox?
Aquagold is not a replacement or alternative for Botox but rather a complementary facial treatment to neuromodulator injections. Botox injections are the gold standard for treating and preventing dynamic fine lines, which form over time due to repeated facial expressions. The most common areas to be treated with Botox include the glabella (between the eyebrows), crow’s feet, and forehead. Botox and other neuromodulators like Xeomin and Dysport work by blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles responsible for expression, resulting in a smoother skin texture. The rejuvenation results of Botox last up to four months, with most patients engaging in regular maintenance treatments to keep up the best effects. Dr. Green is an Allergan Platinum injector of Botox and provides what have been described as the “best Botox injections in NYC.” She embraces a less-is-more philosophy regarding neuromodulator injections, providing her patients with a natural-looking, more youthful appearance that allows for dynamic expression and never looks “frozen.”
Aquagold is a customizable microinfusion facial treatment that improves skin texture, hydration, and elasticity. The microinfusions can include Botox or other neuromodulators, various dermal fillers, or skin treatments like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, depending on the needs and goals of a patient. Aquagold microinfusions are placed in the dermal layers of the skin, while Botox injections are placed intradermally or subcutaneously. Therefore, Aquagold and Botox injections can be incorporated into one’s cosmetic treatment plan to address different signs of aging and provide pan-facial rejuvenation. When you consult with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in New York City, she’ll determine which cosmetic procedures you are a good candidate for and how to incorporate them into your facial treatment plan.
Combining Aquagold Fine Touch Treatment with other non-invasive cosmetic procedures
Aquagold is a facial rejuvenation treatment that requires zero downtime, making it easy to pair with complementary cosmetic procedures, such as resurfacing laser treatments and peels. Many patients combine their Aquagold treatments with cosmetic injectables, like dermal fillers and Botox. Dr. Green will customize your cosmetic treatment plan to meet your needs and goals. Dr. Green is an internationally renowned expert in cosmetic dermatology with over two and a half decades of experience providing some of the world’s most discerning individuals around the globe with the best non-surgical treatment options available, including Aquagold, Thermage, skin resurfacing laser treatments, traditional microneedling, chemical peels, dermal fillers, and Botox injections, among others.
Is Aquagold worth it?
Aquagold Fine Touch is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that enhances skin health and hydration and improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity without downtime. Due to the procedure’s accessibility and ease, lack of downtime, few potential side effects, customizability, and consistently stunning rejuvenation results, most patients agree that Aquagold with an expert like Dr. Green is worth it! Dr. Green works with each patient individually to personalize their Aquagold treatment to guarantee that it works for their skin, providing optimal natural and long-lasting rejuvenation results.

How much Botox is in Aquagold?
Patients often ask how much Botox is in Aquagold before treatment. The amount of Botox in Aquagold can vary depending on the size of the treatment area, the type and severity of the skin concerns being addressed, and patients’ preferences. Usually, however, Aquagold involves microinfusions of around 20 units of Botox. During your initial consultation with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green at her private NYC office, she will physically assess your skin condition and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine how many units of Botox should be used for microinfusion during your Aquagold treatment. She will also help you establish a timeline for your treatment sessions since Aquagold’s rejuvenation results tend to last up to 6 months. Dr. Green is consistently identified as one of NYC’s best dermatologists by Castle Connolly, New York Magazine, Super Doctors, and the New York Times for her dedication to her patients and expertise. She was among the first providers in NYC to offer cosmetic Botox injections, is an Allergan Platinum injector of Botox, and is known for what is described as the “best Botox in New York.” When you have Botox injections or Aquagold microinfusions with Dr. Green, you are guaranteed a natural-looking, more youthful appearance.
Is Aquagold better than microneedling?
Aquagold Fine Touch and traditional microneedling are two minimally invasive skin treatments that boast numerous benefits for skin health and appearance. Aquagold is an innovative microinfusion system that brightens skin, boosts hydration, and improves skin texture. Microneedling is a collagen-induction therapy that improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity. Neither cosmetic procedure is inherently “better” than the other. However, the best treatment option for a given patient should be determined by a professional evaluation of their skin type and condition, personal aesthetic goals, and primary skin concerns. Dr. Green is an internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist with over two and a half decades of experience providing some of the world’s most discerning individuals with the best non-surgical skin treatments, including Aquagold Fine Touch and traditional microneedling. During your initial consultation at her private dermatology office in NYC, Dr. Green will collect a thorough medical and family history, physically assess your skin, and review any previous cosmetic treatments you may have had. Then, you will work together to determine the unique combination of in-office treatments and specially formulated skincare products best suited to you and your needs.
What is the difference between Morpheus 8 and Aquagold?
Morpheus 8 is a skin treatment for rejuvenation that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to provide optimal skin rejuvenation. The microneedling aspect of the treatment stimulates collagen production in the epidermal layers, while radiofrequency energy delivers heat to the dermal layers to stimulate collagen production there. This combination approach maximizes new collagen production in multiple layers of skin, providing optimal rejuvenation without downtime. Radiofrequency microneedling treatments like Morpheus 8 and Vivace can improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity for a natural-looking, long-lasting, more youthful appearance. Radiofrequency Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment option for patients of all skin tones and skin types, including individuals with sensitive skin types and darker skin tones who are more susceptible to developing side effects of skin irritation and hyperpigmentation. An initial series of three radiofrequency microneedling treatments, each spaced about 4 weeks apart, is generally recommended to get the best results.
Dr. Green offers the Vivace RF microneedling treatment in her boutique dermatology office in NYC’s Upper East Side neighborhood. Vivace RF Microneedling is an FDA-approved RF microneedling device by Aesthetics Biomedical. Vivace utilizes the most advanced technology to deliver optimal results and a comfortable experience for the patient. Its adjustable needles can be changed in increments of 0.1 millimeters, allowing Dr. Green to deliver incredibly precise, controlled treatment. When you consult with Dr. Green, she will work with you to create a customized treatment plan for rejuvenation that best addresses your concerns and achieves your aesthetic goals, whether Aquagold Fine Touch or Vivace microneedling.
