Who knew that right around the corner (basically!) from my house is a little gem tucked away upstairs in the building on the corner of Santa Monica and Fairfax! It’s called the Cosmetic Rejuvenation Medical Center and this is where the wonderful Doc Zara presides. This funky spot, in a place you would never expect, is doing some excellent custom treatments. I could not wait to meet this “in-the-know” injector and leading clinician and even bette – have her do one of her signature facial treatments on me. It is especially fun when I discover a med spa that I had no idea even existed, and one with major services of all kinds!
Doc Zara, lovely in every way imaginable, and I discussed what I could use to freshen up. I have previously visited this clinic to get Juvederm injectable filler put into my lips, just to give them a little plump. As I loved the treatment so much, I’ve come back to ask her to freshen up my skin next. As it is mid-summer, lasers for my skin type is not idea, so we discussed an awesome specialty that only Doc Zara does. She calls it the Custom Rejuvenation Complex Treatment .
What is it? She uses a specially formulated mix that consists of Botox,Hyaluronic acid, growth factors and vitamins. With the help of AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ microneedling device, the products delivers it right into the dermis.
The treatment felt amazing – was fast – and I walked out with radiant ( if a little red for the day ) skin. Next day I was luminous!! I loved this so much and plan to do it every few months. I was immediately excited and falling in love with it on the spot!
Here is some info on Aquagold device – I am all over this!!
AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ promotes cell stimulation and overall skin rejuvenation through a patented microneedling applicator that administers an individualized treatment solution into the skin. This quick and simple procedure stimulates collagen growth, improves the appearance of fine lines and increases skin moisture to the face, neck, chest and the back of hands.
The AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ treatment efficiently delivers the desired amount of solution , pain-free depth over a large surface area. The applicator, which is made up of 24-carat gold-plated stainless steel to prevent irritation and allergic reactions, transfers the treatment solution into the dermis through 20 microneedles that are thinner than human hair. Two things happen when the applicator penetrates the skin: 1. tiny pores are created from the microneedles and 2. a delivery trigger in the middle of the microneedle surface opens a valve allowing the treatment solution to flow through the sheaths on the microneedles into the tiny pores in the dermis.
Optimal results are achieved through a series of treatments determined during a physician consultation. Treatments are comfortable and only take between 15-30 minutes. Patients encouraged to avoid direct sun exposure for a few days, although all normal activities can be resumed upon leaving office.
