AquaGold

The device is made up of 24 karat gold needles, each smaller than a hair follicle. These nearly microscopic needles painlessly create very tiny open surfaces in the skin, delivering anti-aging and skin refining treatments deep into the dermis. Results are seen within 3-7 days after treatment and typically last approximately 3-4 months. Procedure can be done as often as every 1-3 months, doing several treatments throughout the year will continue to improve overall appearance of skin.

The purpose of this consent form is to provide written information regarding the risks, benefits and alternatives of treatment with the Aquagold Fine Touch system. This material serves as a supplement to the discussion you have with your Crawford Cosmetics provider. It’s important that you fully understand this material, so please read this information thoroughly. If you have any questions regarding the procedure, ask your Crawford Cosmetics provider prior to signing this consent form.

TREATMENT GOALS AND DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE The Aquagold Fine Touch system uses 24-karat gold microchannel technology to infuse microdoses of nourishing and anti-aging medications over the entire surface of the skin, helping to increase hydration and elasticity, and decrease pore size, fine lines, and acne scarring. Your Crawford Cosmetics provider will determine which formulation of medications is best for you. Your provider may use medications such as botulinum toxin (Botox/Dysport); hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm/ Restylane/Versa); Vit B, C and E; glutathione; niacinamide; taurine; tranexamic acid; or autologous blood products such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP). With the Aquagold system, these medications are delivered homogeneously to the upper layers of skin, (in contrast to focal injections with Botox and hyaluronic filler that are delivered deeper into the subcutaneous tissue and muscles under the skin). Common areas of treatment with the Aquagold device include the face, under eye, lips, neck, decollete and hands. Treatment is usually tolerated without difficulty, and usually no anaesthetic is needed.

TREATMENT RESULTS Most patients are pleased with the results of their Aquagold treatment. However, like any aesthetic procedure, there is no guarantee that you will be completely satisfied. There is no guarantee that the appearance and texture of your skin will improve, that wrinkles and folds will disappear completely, or that you will not require additional treatment to achieve the results you seek. The effects of botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid last temporarily, and additional treatments will be required periodically, generally within 1-3 months. The duration of treatment is dependent on many factors including but not limited to: age, sex, tissue conditions, your general health and lifestyle conditions, and sun exposure.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS Following your Aquagold procedure, we’ll provide you with verbal and/or written aftercare instructions. These include, but may not be limited to the following: 1) Wait at least 6 hours to cleanse your face; 2) You may return to usual physical activity immediately; 3) You may return to your usual skincare and makeup routine immediately; 4) Apply any recommended serums, peptides, growth factors, and antioxidants, as directed; 5) Avoid intentional sun exposure for 48 hours; 6) Avoid facial laser treatments, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or microneedling for 2 weeks; 7) If at any time you suspect you’re having an unexpected side effect, adverse reaction or complication, contact us immediately, and obtain help in an appropriate medical setting (i.e., Crawford Cosmetics, your primary care provider, specialist, urgent care, or acute care facility). I will adhere to the aftercare instructions supplied to me during my visit.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS Before undergoing this procedure, understanding the risks is essential. The following risks may occur, but there may be unforeseen risks and risks that are not included on this list. Some of these risks, if they occur, may necessitate further care.
