Can microneedling with Aquagold cause vascular obstruction?

Question

Aquagold, I think, inserts the products in the skin itself with the needles. Can this cause problems? Can it have volumizing results that resemble fillers?

Peter N. Butler, MD, FACS · Answer

The needle depth is approximately 1mm and is too shallow to cause occlusion. It is used for hydration, to improve texture, to brighten, and shrink pores.

John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

This device is very superficial and would not go deep enough to cause vascular occlusion.  This is an excellent delivery device for microbotox.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, you're not really at risk for vascular obstruction with microneedling. I do recommend adding prp for best results. Microneedling/prp is great for rebuilding collagen and improving skin quality, but won't have the same volumizing effects like a filler. I recommend seeing a cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
