The custom 'glass skin' treatment with 24k gold needles.
Aquagold is a microchanneling device with 24k gold-plated needles that delivers a custom cocktail of ingredients — Botox, filler, hyaluronic acid, PRP, vitamins — directly into the skin. The result is the 'glass skin' effect: refined pores, smoother texture, dewy hydration, and the subtle muscle-relaxing benefits of micro-Botox without affecting expression. At DaVida Medical Aesthetics in San Antonio, this is our most-requested luxury treatment.
Why people reach for it
Refined pores, smoother texture, dewy hydration — the signature Aquagold finish that's nearly impossible to replicate with topical products alone.
Every Aquagold treatment is tailored to your skin: Botox for refined pores and smooth texture, filler or HA for hydration, PRP for healing, vitamins for brightening — all in one delivery.
Micro-doses of Botox delivered superficially relax overactive oil glands and smooth surface texture without affecting facial expression — meaning you keep all your natural movement.
Ideal for weddings, photo shoots, reunions, or any event where you want camera-ready skin in 7–14 days. Most clients see optimal results 1–2 weeks after treatment.
Who it's for
Aquagold is the right choice for:
Why it works
20 micro-needles that create thousands of tiny channels in the skin while delivering customized actives directly into the dermis where they work most effectively.
Your specific blend is selected during consultation — common combinations include micro-Botox + HA + vitamins, or filler + PRP + brightening agents. Every treatment is calibrated to your concerns.
Topical products absorb in tiny percentages. Aquagold delivers the active ingredients past the skin barrier directly into the dermis — meaning a meaningfully higher percentage of the active actually reaches the target tissue.
The 24k gold needles are extremely fine (the thinnest available in the U.S. market), causing minimal trauma. Most clients have only mild redness for hours, not days.

Common questions
How much does Aquagold cost in San Antonio?
At DaVida, Aquagold is $850 per treatment. The price reflects the customization (your specific cocktail of ingredients), the device technology, and the meaningful glow that lasts 4–6 weeks after a single session. Many clients consider it their go-to pre-event treatment.
When should I schedule Aquagold before a major event?
Schedule 1–2 weeks before — that's when results peak. Day-of-event Aquagold is too soon; you'll have mild post-treatment flush. Two weeks gives skin time to fully reveal the glass skin finish without any visible recovery signs.
What ingredients can be in the Aquagold cocktail?
The most popular combinations include micro-Botox (for pore refinement and texture), HA serum or filler (for hydration and plumping), PRP (for healing and brightening), and vitamins (B-complex, C, others). We discuss the right cocktail for your goals during consultation. Every treatment is unique.
How is Aquagold different from microneedling?
Standard microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, then often layers products topically on top. Aquagold delivers the products directly through the channels in real time — meaning meaningfully better absorption of the active ingredients. Aquagold also uses smaller, gold-plated needles that cause less trauma than traditional microneedling devices.
Will I look 'frozen' from the micro-Botox?
No — the Botox in Aquagold is delivered superficially in micro-doses, targeting the oil glands and surface texture rather than the deeper muscles that drive expression. You'll still smile, frown, raise your eyebrows, and express normally — your pores will just look smaller and your skin will feel smoother.
How often can I do Aquagold?
Aquagold can be done as often as every 4–6 weeks for compounded results, or as a one-off pre-event treatment. Many clients establish a quarterly cadence for ongoing maintenance, with extra treatments scheduled before major events.
"Aquagold is our most-requested luxury treatment for a reason — clients walk out 1–2 weeks later with skin that's noticeably different. Refined pores, glass-skin glow, and the kind of camera-ready finish that's nearly impossible to fake with home care. Worth the investment, especially before a major event."
