About Us

In the world of aesthetic skincare, achieving a flawless, luminous complexion—often referred to as "glass skin"—is the ultimate goal. Smooth, poreless, and radiant, glass skin represents the pinnacle of skincare aspirations. While countless topical products and treatments claim to deliver this sought-after glow, one revolutionary procedure is transforming the way we approach pore refinement and skin rejuvenation: Aqua Gold.

JECT Medical Aesthetics is proud to offer Aqua Gold, an advanced microchanneling technology, that is redefining the skincare landscape, providing unparalleled pore reduction and skin hydration for a youthful, glass-like finish. Let's dive into how Aqua Gold can help you address the effects of our harsh Calgary winters and achieve the coveted glass skin effect.

What is Glass Skin?

Glass skin refers to a complexion that appears smooth, hydrated, and almost translucent in its radiance. This Korean beauty trend has gained global popularity, inspiring skincare lovers to seek treatments that promote even texture, deep hydration, and refined pores. While a meticulous multi-step skincare routine can help maintain a dewy glow, achieving true glass skin often requires more advanced dermatological interventions.

Glass Skin vs. Donut-Glazed Skin vs. Jello Skin

With so many skincare trends emerging, it's important to understand the differences between the most popular complexion goals:

• Glass Skin: Defined by its poreless, smooth, and ultra-hydrated appearance, giving the skin a nearly reflective quality. Make-up goes on more flawlessly with glass skin.
• Donut-Glazed Skin: Popularized by beauty experts, this trend emphasizes a glossy, slightly oily glow that mimics the appearance of a freshly glazed donut. It often involves heavy moisturizers and facial oils.
• Jello Skin: Focuses on bouncy, firm, and supple skin with a deep level of collagen and elasticity, resembling the consistency of jello when gently pressed.

While each of these trends aims for a radiant complexion, Aqua Gold is particularly effective in achieving glass skin due to its intense hydration, pore reduction, and collagen-stimulating properties.

Aqua Gold: The Ultimate Pore-Refining Treatment

Aqua Gold is a cutting-edge microchanneling treatment designed to deliver customized skin-rejuvenating ingredients, utilizing both Botox and fillers, directly into the skin. This revolutionary technique uses a specialized device with ultra-fine 24-karat gold needles—each thinner than a human hair—to painlessly infuse a potent blend of serums, vitamins, and neuromodulators deep into the dermis. Unlike traditional microneedling, which creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production, Aqua Gold combines precision delivery with minimal downtime, making it an ideal choice for those seeking radiant, refined skin.

‍

How Aqua Gold Works

Aqua Gold's technology is designed to maximize skin absorption while minimizing irritation. Here's how the process unfolds:

1. Preparation: Your skin is cleansed, and a customized serum blend is prepared based on your skin's specific needs. This could include hyaluronic acid for hydration, neuromodulators like Botox to shrink pores, and antioxidants to brighten the complexion.
2. Microchanneling Infusion: The Aqua Gold device is gently pressed onto the skin, delivering the serums through its tiny gold-plated needles. These microchannels allow active ingredients to penetrate deeper than topical applications, enhancing efficacy and results.
3. Immediate Glow: Unlike traditional microneedling, Aqua Gold does not cause significant redness or peeling. Instead, it leaves skin instantly plumped, hydrated, and smooth.
4. Long-Term Benefits: Over time, as collagen production is stimulated and pore size is reduced, the skin becomes visibly more refined, firm, and glass-like in its texture.

Aqua Gold vs. Traditional Microneedling: What's the Difference?

While both Aqua Gold and traditional microneedling offer skin rejuvenation benefits, they work in distinct ways:

• Aqua Gold: Utilizes ultra-fine gold needles to painlessly deliver active ingredients into the skin, focusing on hydration, pore refinement, and an instant glow.
• Traditional Microneedling: Creates micro-injuries to trigger collagen production, often leading to downtime due to redness and peeling.
• Key Advantage of Aqua Gold: Since Aqua Gold combines infusion and stimulation in a single step, it provides an immediate pore-tightening effect without the prolonged recovery time of standard microneedling.

The Science of Pore Reduction with Aqua Gold

One of the primary benefits of Aqua Gold is its ability to minimize pore size. Large pores can contribute to an uneven skin texture and make it challenging to achieve the smooth, flawless look associated with glass skin.

‍

How Does Aqua Gold Reduce Pores?

• Neuromodulators (Botox or Dysport): Aqua Gold allows microdoses of neuromodulators to be infused into the skin, helping to relax the tiny muscles surrounding pores, causing them to appear visibly smaller.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Deep hydration plumps the skin, making pores less noticeable and enhancing overall texture.
• Collagen Stimulation: The gentle microchanneling action encourages collagen production over time, leading to long-term pore refinement and skin tightening.

‍

Who is Aqua Gold Best For?

Aqua Gold is suitable for all skin types and is particularly beneficial for those who:

• Struggle with enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
• Seek deep hydration and an instantly radiant complexion
• Want to reduce fine lines and improve skin firmness
• Desire a minimally invasive procedure with no downtime
• Are preparing for a special event and want an immediate, glowing result

‍

What to Expect During and After an Aqua Gold Treatment

Aqua Gold is a quick and comfortable procedure, typically lasting around 30 minutes. The ultra-fine needles ensure minimal discomfort, and no numbing cream is required. After the treatment, you may experience a mild pink flush, which fades within a few hours.

‍

Post-Treatment Care:

• Avoid washing your face for at least six hours to allow the serums to penetrate fully.
• Refrain from using active skincare ingredients (such as retinol and exfoliants) for 24-48 hours.
• Hydrate and protect your skin with SPF to maintain results.

‍

The Confidence Boost of Glass Skin

Beyond the physical benefits, achieving glass skin with Aqua Gold can have a profound impact on self-confidence. Clear, radiant skin often translates to feeling more beautiful and empowered, whether going makeup-free or enhancing a natural glow with minimal products. By addressing concerns like enlarged pores, dehydration, and dullness, Aqua Gold helps individuals put their best face forward every day.
