Skin can look tired even when you’re doing everything right. AQUAGOLD gives it a quick lift with a custom micro-infusion facial at Tseng Plastic Surgery in Bellevue and Kirkland. Dr. Mark Tseng, a board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeon, tailors each treatment to your skin’s needs for a smoother surface, refined pores, and a fresh, balanced glow.
AQUAGOLD is a micro-infusion treatment that uses a stamp-like device with a grid of tiny, hollow, 24K gold microchannels. With gentle presses over the skin, it deposits a custom cocktail just below the surface. That blend can include thin hyaluronic acid for hydration, micro-dosed neuromodulator for pore and oil control, and targeted actives for tone and texture. The approach treats the full face evenly with minimal marks and quick bounce-back.
Both target fine lines, texture, and tone, but the method and feel differ. Traditional microneedling creates controlled micro-injury to trigger remodeling over time; it focuses on collagen induction and may need more downtime. AQUAGOLD focuses on precise delivery of actives at a very superficial depth, across a wide area, with a smooth, even pass. Many patients choose AQUAGOLD when they want a refined look fast and prefer minimal redness. For deeper remodeling or acne-scar work, Dr. Tseng may suggest options like Infini RF or Profound RF; for pigment or sun damage, he may pair with LaseMD or LED.
Glow often shows within 24–72 hours. Pore and shine control builds over the first week as the micro-dose of neuromodulator settles. Hydration from hyaluronic acid shows earlier. Redness usually fades the day of treatment; small pinpoints can appear and clear quickly. Skip makeup for the first day. Avoid hot yoga, saunas, steam, and intense workouts for 24 hours. Hold retinoids and exfoliants for 3 to 5 days. Use a gentle cleanser, bland moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF. Results last several weeks; many patients schedule AQUAGOLD every 8 to 12 weeks or pair it with LED or HydraFacial to extend the effect.
You’ll meet with our team to review goals, ingredients, and any sensitivities. Bring a list of skincare products and recent treatments. Plan to pause retinoids and strong acids before your appointment. Arrive with clean skin. If you have a tendency for cold sores, tell us so we can plan preventive steps. Photos help track change visit to visit.
After a gentle cleanse, a light topical numbing cream may be applied based on preference. Dr. Tseng prepares a custom vial for your skin, then uses the AQUAGOLD device to stamp the blend across the treatment zones in even passes. Most full-face sessions take about 20–30 minutes. The sensation is mild. Expect a faint grid or pink hue that tends to settle the same day.
Good candidates want a clearer surface, smaller-looking pores, and a more even tone without downtime. Common concerns include fine lines along the cheeks, makeup settling around pores, shine through the T-zone, and a flat, dull look before events. AQUAGOLD is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Active rashes, infections, or open lesions need clearance first. Patients with a history of cold sores may need antiviral prophylaxis. Allergies to any planned ingredients must be discussed in advance. During consultation, Dr. Tseng reviews skin history, previous treatments, and goals to build a safe, effective plan.
Pricing varies with treatment area, the specific cocktail, and any add-ons. Your quote includes consultation, sterile single-use device, professional-grade products used in the vial, and aftercare guidance. Rates can differ by location and provider experience. You’ll receive an exact figure before treatment, so planning is clear.
Technique matters with micro-infusion. Dr. Tseng brings more than two decades of experience in aesthetic practice and advanced training from NYU, Mount Sinai, and Temple University. He calibrates each AQUAGOLD session to skin thickness, oil patterns, and event timelines, aiming for natural-looking refinement rather than a one-note “over-treated” look. Care here is unhurried, private, and grounded in results patients can see in real life, not only in photos.

No. Because the cocktail can include neuromodulators or other actives, we defer during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Brief redness, tiny pinpoints, or mild swelling can occur. Bruising is uncommon. Allergic reactions are rare when the blend is customized responsibly.
AQUAGOLD suits many skin tones and types. We adjust ingredients for dryness, oil, redness, or sensitivity.
Most notice a glow for four to eight weeks. Pore and oil control tends to hold six to ten weeks, depending on the blend and skin habits.
Skin looks fresher in one to three days. Pores and shine improve across the first week as the microdose takes effect.
