Does a 24K gold facial actually do anything, or is it just luxury?

Both, honestly. The gold itself is inert and biocompatible with genuine anti-inflammatory properties, and it helps the serums beneath it absorb. The visible result — hydrated, calm, luminous skin — is real and immediate. What it will not do is build collagen or correct scarring. It is an excellent hydrating and soothing facial, not a substitute for a resurfacing or collagen treatment.

How long does the glow last?

Typically one to two weeks, depending on your skin and your home routine. It is not a permanent change — this is a treatment you repeat, and many patients book monthly or before specific occasions.

Is there any downtime?

None. That is one of the main reasons people choose it. You can apply makeup immediately and return to work straight afterward, though skin usually looks best bare for the rest of the day.

Is a gold facial safe for sensitive skin?

It is one of the better options for reactive skin. Gold is chemically inert and very rarely provokes a reaction, and the treatment is soothing rather than stimulating. It is often what we recommend for patients whose skin has been irritated by strong actives or over-exfoliation. True gold allergy exists but is uncommon — tell us if you react to gold jewelry.

Can I have a gold facial while pregnant?

It is generally among the safer facial options during pregnancy, since it involves no retinoids, strong acids, or energy devices. We still ask you to confirm with your obstetrician first and to tell us you are pregnant so we can adjust the products used.

How often should I have one?

Monthly maintenance suits most patients, or simply before events where you want your skin at its best. There is no cumulative course required — each treatment stands on its own.

Should I book this before my wedding?

Yes, and it is one of the few treatments genuinely safe to have close to the date. Two to three days before is ideal. Avoid booking any needling, laser, or injectable treatment that close to an event — those need two weeks or more.

How much does a 24K gold facial cost in Beverly Hills?

It is priced as a single treatment rather than a course. Current pricing and any package offers are listed on our promotions page, or call (213) 895-4730 and we will walk you through options.

What a Gold Facial Is — and Is Not

Let us be honest about this treatment, because the marketing around gold skincare tends toward the mystical.

A 24K gold facial is a luxury hydrating and soothing treatment. Colloidal gold is chemically inert and biocompatible, which makes it exceptionally unlikely to irritate even reactive skin. It has recognized anti-inflammatory properties — gold compounds have a long history in medicine for inflammatory conditions — and gold leaf conducts heat gently, which helps the accompanying serums absorb.

What it delivers is real: calmer, deeply hydrated, luminous skin, immediately, with zero downtime. What it does not do is remodel collagen, correct scarring, or reverse structural aging. Anyone claiming a facial can do those things is selling you something.

Think of it as the best possible version of a facial — not as an alternative to RF microneedling or injectables.

Who it suits

Anyone with an event in the next few days
Dry or dehydrated skin that looks dull and tight
Sensitive or reactive skin that cannot tolerate acids or aggressive treatments
Skin irritated by over-exfoliation or strong actives
Patients who want no downtime whatsoever
Pregnant patients for whom most active treatments are off the table — confirm with your obstetrician

What Happens During the Treatment

Cleanse and analysis

Double cleansing to remove makeup and buildup, followed by an assessment of your skin's hydration and sensitivity that day.

Gentle exfoliation

A mild enzyme exfoliation lifts dead surface cells so everything applied afterward penetrates properly. Strength is adjusted for sensitive skin.

Serum and massage

Hydrating and antioxidant serums are applied with a facial massage that supports lymphatic drainage — this is where much of the de-puffing happens.

24K gold leaf mask

Sheets of pure gold leaf are laid over the skin and gently pressed in. They warm to your skin temperature and help drive the underlying serums deeper.

Finish and protection

Moisturizer, eye treatment, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. You leave looking noticeably brighter, with nothing to hide.

Why Patients Choose Modern Aesthetica

Dr. Moghadam injects — personally

Device settings, depth, and how aggressively to treat are medical decisions, not spa settings. At Modern Aesthetica the founder and medical director, Dr. Daniel Moghadam, oversees and performs these treatments personally rather than delegating them to a technician working from a preset.

Facial assessment before product selection

We start with your skin — its thickness, laxity, pigment behavior, scarring, and how it has historically healed. The treatment follows from that assessment. Sometimes the honest answer is a different treatment entirely, and we will say so.

Conservative dosing, reviewed

Energy-based treatments reward patience. We build results across a planned series rather than pushing a single aggressive session that risks prolonged redness or, in deeper skin tones, pigment change.

Transparent pricing

You will know how many sessions are planned and what the full course costs before you begin. Current offers are on our promotions page.
