In Self.com Magazine’s February 2008 issue (featuring Eva Longoria Parker on the cover), a writer chronicles her experience with the guided, professional cosmetic medicine wherein she was in fact steered away from procedures that would be ‘too much’.  While some forms of plastic surgery and other invasive procedures have seen an increase in popularity over the last few years, what’s even more exciting is the leaps and bounds that cosmetic medicine has made in technologies that are non-invasive, providing means of improving your health and appearance that are faster, safer, and easier.  But sometimes, even these gentler procedures can be too much, undermining their own effectiveness or making a condition worse than it was to begin with! What AMA has to say: It’s true that more is not necessarily better.  Here at American Medical Aesthetics, we’re here to physiologically transform our patients’ skin, from the inside out!  We feel that it is our mission to keep our patients’ long-term goals and health as our primary focus, not a short term gain that might be damaging to their health.  From dermafillers like Radiesse™ and Restylane™, Botox™ injections, to the variety of skin conditions that can be treated with our exclusive SpectraLift ™ non-surgical facelift, AMA exists to create customized treatments for every patients skin.  In addition, AMA provides the best tools and treatments for maintenance and preventative care to maximize results and keep your skin looking dazzling with less poking, prodding, and pulling. At American Medical Aesthetics, you can be confident that you won’t need a second opinion.  

In the February 2008 issue of In Style Magazine (featuring Halle Barry on the front cover), the beauty section features an article about why aging skin behaves the way it does.  Hormone levels can begin to decline as early as your late thirties, slowing collagen production in the skin.  The glands that produce the natural oils that keep your skin healthy become less active.  Your cells renew themselves more slowly and less effectively. What AMA has to say: Aging causes inevitable changes in your body’s physiology, which in turn affect your skin.  By being educated about, and addressing, the internal causes of the exterior symptoms (wrinkles, spots and discoloration, dullness, and sagging), you can improve your health and preserve a youthful appearance. In our SpectraLift ™ non-surgical facelift, five to seven individual laser treatments are integrated synergistically that each target certain processes, and certain tissues, within your skin from deep in the dermis to the skin’s visible surface.  There are procedures to promote cell renewal, instead of just exfoliating the surface to remove dead cells.  Your skin will actually start to ‘think younger’ and behave as it naturally did earlier in its lifetime.  This produces a much quicker and more total cell renewal cycle, which is essential not only to full, supple skin but also for your health as your skin releases toxins built up in the body, and keeps out germs and pollutants.  With over twenty lasers, we have exactly the right energy device to target skin’s overall texture and coloration, correcting roughness and inconsistencies in pigmentation.  

In the January 2008 of Oprah Magazine, there is a brief and interesting discussion about one of the hottest trends in exercise – Yoga – but with a surprising new twist.  This is yoga you do with your face!  Along with breathing techniques to promote energy, these ‘poses’ are supposed to help tone up the facial muscles and reduce fine lines around the mouth, drooping eyelids, and generally lift features. What AMA has to say: If you would prefer to leave the face making for Halloween instead of adopting it as a year-round practice, American Medical Aesthetics offers a wide variety of state-of-the-art treatments that can address these, and other, common problems for aging skin.  Our SpectraLift™ non-surgical laser facelift provides skin with dramatic and beautifully natural looking improvements in tone, texture, and color while smoothing away unwanted lines around the lips or crinkly eyes. AMA’s unique blend of holistic medicine, clinical expertise, and the most advanced laser technology in the world allows us to offer true physiological transformation to our patients.  Your skin will become younger, stronger, and healthier on the inside, which will make it look years younger, healthier, and more beautiful on the outside.
