INJECTABLES


  • Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau.
  • These neurotoxins are injected into skin and muscles with a small needle.
  • Prevents, reduces, and treats facial wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Takes up to 1-2 weeks to take full effect.
  • Made of purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium.
  • Works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles, thereby preventing muscle contraction.
  • Number of injections depends on the treatment area and muscle strength.

IPL PHOTOFACIALS


  • Intense Pulsed Light, commonly known as IPL, delivers high intensity computer controlled pulses of light that penetrate the skin and heat the sub-surface layers. The heating action damages or destroys problem conditions like excess pigment and unwanted spider veins, while stimulating healthy, new collagen. A series of IPL photofacial treatments can offer the benefits of a medium depth laser resurfacing without any downtime.
  • Many clients describe the sensation to be like the snap of a rubber band on the skin. There are no discomfort after the treatment.
  • The depth and degree of heat is highly controlled, so very low risks are associated with this procedure and you can resume most normal activities immediately after an IPL photofacial treatment.

PRP TREATMENTS


What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)? 

PRP is a concentrated source of platelets, growth factors and cytokines produced naturally in your own body, and stimulates and controls healthy regenerative processes, including collagen and soft tissue remodeling, and thereby improves overall health and rejuvenation. 

PRP Rejuvenation combined with other technologies such as microneedling or using radiofrequency lasers such as Tempsure Envi can further enhance results.

What are the top benefits of PRP Therapy?

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Stimulation of cellular regeneration and growth of new tissue
  • Added volume
  • Reduction in visible scarring and stretch marks

MICRONEEDLING


  • Microneedling is a process that involves using needles to puncture hundreds of tiny holes in the skin. Our microneedling therapy causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of collagen and elastin.
  • Microneedling procedure can be helpful in treating various skin conditions such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dull skin, scars and stretch marks.

TEMPSURE® ENVI FACIAL SKIN TIGHTENING


Also known as the “Red Carpet Facial, TempSure® Envi is an FDA-approved skin tightening device created to address laxity in the face. It helps minimize facial fine lines and wrinkles and tightens skin. 

It works through the use of concentrated, high-frequency radio heating. The heat used by this exceptional skin tightening laser is made of radiofrequency or “RF” waves that stimulate the production of collagen beneath the surface of the skin. By encouraging the body to make more of this essential protein, the device not only tightens facial skin but also promises long-term skin rejuvenation.

SKIN LIGHTENING


  • Brighten and lighten your skin with weekly glutathione IV therapy.
  • Glutathione works to lighten the skin and reduce hyper pigmentation by inhibiting an enzyme called tyrosinase, which produces melanin, the dark pigment in the skin.
  • Glutathione therapy can gradually lighten your skin tone over time.

TEETH WHITENING


  • Transform Your Look with Professional Teeth Whitening- We offer teeth whitening treatments for discolored or stained teeth in as little as one hour.
  • Professional carbamide peroxide teeth whitening gel is used to open the pores of the teeth and lift stains. The peroxide activates when temperature increases, something that happens in a slow manner just from application in the mouth. Our teeth whitening machine accelerates the rate that the peroxide activates - some may see a shade increase of 4 - 8 shades in just one sitting!
  • After treatment, your teeth can be sensitive and be more susceptible to stains. Avoid exposure to any dark beverages, smoke, or food colorings.
  • How often can I have my teeth professionally whitened? To sustain a healthy, strong smile it is best to wait for at least 3 - 6 months between professional whitening treatments.

LATISSE


  • Latisse Eyelash Treatment is a cosmetic product designed to lengthen and thicken the body’s own lashes, in as little as one month. Latisse is the only FDA approved medication to treat Hypotrichosis, or inadequate growth of eyelashes. Latisse has been clinically proven to enhance the appearance of the upper lashes. Its active ingredient, bimatoprost, is responsible for extending the Anagen (active growth) phase of lashes.
  • Additionally, while individual hairs may be in any of the three growth phases at one time, bimatoprost increases the number of lashes in the active growth stage. As a result, Latisse allows lashes to lengthen naturally on their own.

What areas of the face can be treated with Botox or neurotoxin injections?

Common treatment areas are:

  • 11 lines or glabella
  • forehead lines 
  • “crow’s feet”(lines around the eyes)

However, neurotoxins are versatile drugs and can be used for:

  • Smoker’s lines
  • Jaw reduction – gives one a softer and more visually pleasing appearance
  • TMJ disorder (or Bruxism) – relaxes the jaw (masseter) muscles to reduce the effect of teeth grinding, irritation, and pain

What is an IPL treatment like and what results can I expect?


  • Generally, 3 to 6 treatments are recommended at 3-4 week intervals. Each full-face treatment takes about 30 minutes, other body areas may take a little longer.
  • The skin immediately after the treatment may appear a bit flushed, and fine capillaries may appear more visible. Brown spots will appear darker and one may experience some slight swelling, but all these changes fade within a few hours to a few days.
  • Beginning with your first treatment, the skin will have a more even tone, with a smoother as well as fresher look and feel. Sunspots should fade, pore size will shrink, and fine wrinkle lines are significantly reduced. Skin redness, flushing and dilated capillaries gradually will disappear. An IPL Photofacial treatment offers a very high level of patient satisfaction. Begin your treatments today and restore your natural beauty to your skin with no downtime.

PRP facial treatment is used to improve the appearance of:

  • Complexion
  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Brown discolorations

What areas can be treated with PRP treatment?


  • PRP Rejuvenation can be done on the face, neck, chest area, and hands. It is safe for all skin types and ages.

Two common PRP treatments: PRP facelift and PRP facial

  • PRP facelift is a procedure that begins with a simple blood draw from your arm. Your blood will then be processed by spinning it in a centrifuge. This separates the plasma and platelets from the red blood cells and takes about 15 minutes. Your PRP will then be injected into your face so that the body’s own healing process triggers the regrowth of new tissue and blood flow to recreate your younger self.
  • PRP facial is a procedure that combines PRP with microneedling. This method is known as “collagen induction therapy or vampire facial”. The small entries into the dermis cause the skin to respond with collagen which softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as superficial sun damage.

Visible improvement in the skin is seen with each treatment though the results are compounded and optimal when done in at least a series of 3 around one month apart. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to an hour depending on the area treated and number of injections.

There are 3 phases to wound repair process:


  • Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
  • Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is re-built with new granulation cells, as well as a temporary (type III) collagen and elastin, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
  • Phase III: Remodeling. The wound has been replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels. The type III collagen in the newly formed tissue is replaced with stronger type I collagen, which can contract to create a tightening or “shrink wrap” effect on the skin.

What results can I expect?


  • 3-5 sessions at four-week intervals are recommended to maximize the collagen rebuilding process necessary for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
  • After each session, you might experience some slight redness and irritation at the treatment site. This redness is caused by the skin’s elevated temperature during treatment and will quickly resolve within hours following the procedure.
  • Skin tightening results with TempSure® Envi will vary. However, most of our patients see optimal results in the weeks and months following their visit.

Latisse in the Comfort of Your Own Home


Latisse is available only by prescription through your medical provider. The serum is applied at home, once nightly, to the upper lashes. If you are a good candidate, our providers at AMS Pomona will give you a prescription for Latisse, which will then be filled at your local pharmacy. 

How long will the results from my Latisse treatment last?

  • Patients will begin to notice results from their Latisse treatment in as little as four weeks.*
  • However, the full benefits will take up to 16 weeks to appear. The results can be long-lasting, provided the Latisse treatment continues. Once Latisse has been stopped, the lashes will return to their normal state. 

*Individual results may vary.
