What makes AquaGold different from microneedling or Botox?

AquaGold uses techniques similar to microneedling to infuse active ingredients, including a small amount of Botox, into the skin’s superficial layer. Unlike microneedling, it does not create deeper micro-injuries or trigger long-term healing. And, unlike traditional Botox, AquaGold does not affect muscle movement. Instead, the Botox used in this treatment softens pores and reduces oil for smoother, more radiant skin. Patients often enjoy this gentle enhancement for events or maintenance. Our AquaGold facial in South Barrington is an elegant approach to hydration for patients who want a fresh glow without discomfort or disruption.

How do I know if AquaGold is right for me?

AquaGold is ideal for patients who want subtle, radiant skin without downtime or harsh resurfacing. If your skin feels dry, dull, or uneven—or if you notice fine lines or visible pores—you may be a candidate. AquaGold works beautifully across a variety of skin types and tones, and your consultation helps us determine the best approach. With our team, you always receive clear, personal recommendations that support your skin and your individual goals.

What can I expect during an AquaGold treatment?

Most patients find treatment very tolerable. The AquaGold device uses ultra-fine needles, thinner than a human hair. You may feel light tapping across your skin as we deposit the serum, but this sensation is mild and brief. Because the treatment depth is shallow, there is no need for numbing cream. Patients commonly describe the experience as gentle and even relaxing. Our AquaGold facial in South Barrington reflects our belief that beauty and comfort should always go hand in hand.

Can I wear makeup after an AquaGold facial?

To support your skin’s healing and promote smooth, clear results, we suggest waiting until the next day to apply makeup. After 24 hours, you may resume your normal beauty routine. Thanks to our AquaGold facial in South Barrington, most patients enjoy a healthy glow that reduces the need for full-coverage products. Our treatment creates a lit-from-within appearance that often makes foundation feel optional, even after a single session.

I have been seeing Tracy at Dr Renee Burke’s MedSpa for the past year and there is no one else I would rather trust with my skin/face! Tracy is so welcoming, making you feel comfortable and ease throughout the whole process. She listens and does not try and push products or services on you. I first saw Tracy for lip filler and botox. Tracy has fixed past work other MedSpas did and suggested new treatments that have since made me feel a lot more confident. Recently, Tracy suggest I try the Moxi Laser to help treat my sun damage. This was the best money I have ever spent & I can’t wait to come back and do it again! Whether you are looking for a good injector or esthetician for facials and lasers, Tracy is your girl!
