Liquid Gold Treatments make use of the regenerating power of plasma, which can be found in your own blood and is responsible for healing skin from injury. Platelet rich plasma when used for cosmetic rejuvenation, has an unmatched ability to transform the skin, leaving you with a brighter, youthful glowing complexion.

The efficacy of a liquid gold treatment is because of plasma, which is yellow. Plasma is protein-rich, and it carries nutrients, protein, and hormones to the rest of the body. Plasma also contains growth factors, which can increase cell turnover, collagen production, and elastin for firmer, younger-looking skin.

Liquid Gold treatments are used to treat the face as well as other areas of the body.

Esteem Clinic performs the following liquid gold treatments:

• Liquid Gold Facial (skin needling)
• Liquid Gold Full Face (injections)
• Targeted Liquid Gold Injections

Depending on the specific liquid gold treatment performed, the following will occur:

First, your dermal therapist will clean the treatment area. They will then apply a topical numbing cream. 

Next, they will draw a small amount of blood from your arm. Some therapists may choose to first inject the face with filler, targeting areas with deep creases or wrinkles (Note, this is an optional extra, to be quoted seperately. Your therapist will either recommend this or not).

The blood will go into a centrifuge. This separates the platelet rich plasma from the rest of the blood.

Using a small needle, the liquid gold will be injected into the area being treated.

Treatment sessions last between 45-60 minutes, depending on the specific treatment being perfomed.

After your liquid gold treatment, you may notice some redness in the treated area. The procedure itself is non-invasive, so should require minimum downtime.

Try to avoid touching your face in the hours after the procedure. 

You’ll see immediate plumping results from the filler, and the glow and evenness from the liquid gold will be visible after 2 to 3 weeks. Results will typically last for 1 year and sometimes as long as 18 months.

AFTER TREATMENT

– Skin will appear red, similar to a sunburn for 1-3 days.

– Swelling or bruising may occur. This varies from client to client.

– Ice packs may be applied as required.

– Avoid itching or scratching the skin.

– Avoid sun exposure or solarium use for 3 weeks as this will increase the chance of developing pigmentation and burning.

– Use prescribed cream to alleviate irritation.

– Apply SPF 30 or 50 sunscreen daily.

– Do not pick or exfoliate your skin for 3-5 days as this may introduce bacteria or cause hyperpigmentation.

– Avoid skincare products containing Glycolic or Salicylic acid.

AFTER TREATMENT

– You may return to normal activity immediately following your procedure with the exception of strenuous exercise.

– Most side effects from the treatment should not be cause for alarm. Symptoms are usually minor and should subside in time, as a normal part of the healing process. They may be alleviated with simple over-the-counter measures.

– Immediately following treatment, the treatment area may appear very red to flushed, which usually subsides within three days.

– Mild tingling, swelling, soreness, and tenderness may occur for up to three days.

– Bruising, particularly at injection sites, may last for several weeks.
