We are humbled and honored to have cared for so many patients.
We use your body’s own physiology to remodel your skin from the inside out. We believe that the most effective technique to offer you fabulous-looking skin on the outside is to use your own natural physiology to “regenerate” your skin so that it is young, healthy, and strong on the inside. It’s what sets our multi-modality procedures apart. And our patients are ecstatic about their beautiful, healthy new skin!
We are humbled and honored to have cared for so many patients.
Even after administering over 85,000 laser treatments over the last 25 years, we continue to be astounded at how varied each patient’s physiology is. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all or paint-by-numbers protocol for melasma treatment.
“Hi I’m Mina, I am a dentist. I had a hyperpigmentation problem of my face that hit me after menopause…
… Dr. Pien worked her magic laser melasma treatment on me to the point that I have no makeup on right now. Now I feel very confident, I can walk around without makeup on. I actually don’t wear foundation anymore The fact of the matter is, Dr. Pien will get down to the bottom of your hyperpigmentation problem and she will fix whatever you need to have fixed.”
Laser treatment for acne scars is a procedure that is intended to repair the scarring that is typically found in patients suffering from cystic acne, which can physically disfigure a person. Because acne scars can last a lifetime, scarring can have a profound psychological impact.
“I came to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare because I searched far and wide all over Orange County and Los Angeles for someone to help with my acne scars. I tried pretty much everything but nothing really seemed to help…
… I feel like the stem cells have helped a lot. I feel less self-conscious and actually feel like I can smile again and not feel embarrassed because of the scaring. It’s been a big thing for me.”
At AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare, our professional laser hair removal specialists employ cutting-edge laser technology to permanently remove unwanted hair from your skin!
“I came here because I had some ingrown hairs on my face. When you have curly hair and you cut it off really low, when they grow back they can cause these ingrown hairs, these razor bumps that are so painful…
… It was so good. I’m a changed man. What they have done here with their laser hair removal treatment, as you can see, is get me back to that baby smooth skin.”

… I feel like the stem cells have helped a lot. I feel less self-conscious and actually feel like I can smile again and not feel embarrassed because of the scaring. It’s been a big thing for me.”After seeing the many great reviews, I decided to do a consultation with AMA along with another place and AMA definitely stuck out right away. During the consultation, I was able to discuss my concerns in detail with Dr. Milgrom and get somewhat of a game plan going for my procedures. I was provided information on what to expect and how many sessions I may need and all my questions were addressed, without being rushed.
My first laser treatment was very painful for me and also left my skin very swollen and burnt for almost a week. When I mentioned this, AMA’s staff was very responsive and made sure to schedule longer numbing time for my next treatment and also provided pain medication prior to the session, rather than post laser. Lastly, they also had me spend an hour in the oxygen chamber and what a difference that made! The recovery from my second laser was much more bearable than my first.
In terms of my skin, my main concerns were my acne scars and hyper-pigmentation and both have lessened significantly after two laser treatments. I was realistic with my expectations and knew it would require more treatments to be completely smooth, but, I am able to see that the process is working. I was advised that I would likely need 3-5 treatments for the acne scars to be mostly gone. It seems as though we are on pace for that. I have been raving about AMA to my friends, one of whom has also made a consultation appointment after hearing about my experience with them. Overall, I don’t have any complaints from this place and am very thankful to Dr. Pien and the entire staff at AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for their expertise and great customer service.
This place is heaven!!
The whole staff Trisha, Laila, Dr. Pien and Dr. Milgrom are absolutely AMAZING! Not only are they all professional and helpful they always make you feel so welcomed. They all truly care about your skin and want to help!!
Ama truly saved my skin and I have tried everything in the past and nothing worked for my acne and scars! I have had two laser sessions done and my skin has gotten tremendously better! They are worth every penny!!!
THANK YOU AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare!!!!! Thank you!
I have cystic acne scars on my cheeks and sun spots from not wearing sun screen for over 5-10 years. I am a very natural person but always had to wear cover up/makeup on my face to hide my skin. It would get everywhere and was very embarrassing.
I finally decided when I turned 30 that i did not want to wear makeup and more and should do something about it. I had no idea what was out there really until I started researching. I called so many places but did not find them helpful or able to get me in within two weeks. I talked to Trisha at AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare and she listened to me and answered my questions for at least 30min. I felt so much better after speaking with her and getting in right away.When I went into the office, which is immaculate, I felt immediately like this is the right place. Asher and I spoke at my free consultation and got a wonderful price for the procedure. He explained everything to me in detail and i started to think of the possibilities of perfect skin finally.
At my first appointment i was taken care of from head to toe. I felt no pain and it was about a 3 hour process. The nurse and Dr Pien were very comforting and made all the procedures quick and painless. When I left I was slightly red and swollen but it was more like a sunburn. The lotion and face wash AMA provided was great and the next day I was about the same sun burnt look.
After a few days of staying out of the sun and following the after care instructions my skin started to peel and the dark spots and scars started to “fall” off my face. After a week or so I could already tell that my skin was about 40% better. I started to get compliments for the first time. I have been staying out of the sun and following proper care with sunscreen and my skin is already on the road to perfection!
I still have 2 more laser treatments to go but I can already see a major change. I go in today for the my first collagen induction therapy session. I would recommend AMA to anyone who cares about improving their skin and keeping it healthy. The best staff and DR. in town. You will feel very comfortable and taken care of. I hope this write up helps inform your choice! AMA is truly top notch.I cannot share enough praise about AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. I wish I could give them 6 Stars!
I was referred to AMA by a friend who has flawless skin. I unfortunately do not and never have. I suffer from adult acne and acne scarring. I’ve tried everything, and I mean everything! I finally decided I needed some laser acne treatments. I shopped around at several laser skincare places until my friend finally recommended AMA.
I sat down with Dr. Milgrom at my consultation and he really made me feel comfortable, got to know me, and told me about himself and his journey – personal and professional. He then spent time really educating me on what causes acne and acne scaring and skin and why some have bad skin and where scars come from and everything. Then he explained thoroughly the process of the laser treatments, how my skin will react, what each procedure will do to me, how they will feel and how it will get rid of acne. This is the first place that told me I could treat my scars AND my acne simultaneously! It’s like a DREAM come true for me. He even suggested some home remedies for acne that I could do myself.
I walked out of the consultation fully trusting Dr. Milgrom and his wonderfully kind staff.
I’ve had 1 of 3 laser treatments done so far and I definitely definitely see and feel the difference. Dr. Pien is an ANGEL! She talked me through each laser and was so kind and gentle with me. (I have a ZERO tolerance threshold for pain) The nurses and assistants in the office are genuinely some of the NICEST people I have ever met! The office sends you daily emails about what to expect so you’re never worried about your healing process. They even call just to check in and see how you’re feeling.
I’ve also tried several other treatments like the Ozone Therapy and the CIA treatment. Both amazing as well!
I always look forward to my appointments!! Thank you AMA for saving my face!
p.s. 2 of my girlfriends are currently going to AMA in Beverly Hills for treatments and they can also vouch for all of the above!

Thank you so much AMA for your help! Everyone working in AMA is excellent.Service is professional and well tailored to meet individuals needs. I must specify…. i have ethnic skin.I have severe acne and scars than got worse due to stress and use of some over the counter cosmetic products. I got a free 1 hour consultation with Dr Pien and co.
They were honest to let me know that i will have a systematic approach to my treatment. They didn’t want to jump to laser first and so i was prescribed topical creams and oral meds to treat active acne lesions first. After which other treatment modalities will follow They were so kind to call the pharmacy to give me a discount on the meds since my insurance didn’t cover one….. Who on earth does that!! you can not beat this team of care givers they are absolutely amazing. My consultation experience was very reassuring as i had other little things i needed treatment for …like some scars on my right deltoid area and a mole around my elbow area.
I had a test laser done on me same day ….to see if i will develop hypertrophy. She got the mole taken care of and i was flattened instantly. So far test patch is doing great no hypertrophy. My active acne lesions are drying up each day and i am very compliant with the meds as prescribed. I go for my next appointment in 2 weeks and i am very excited to experience the next step in my treatment. I will highly recommend AMA skin care to any one looking for help with their skin!

After going to many different skincare centers for help with my acne scars and skin discoloration (I have fair pale skin) I have never had great success until finding AMA!
I cannot speak highly enough about the Dr.s and the staff! I love Laila (pronounced Lie-la). She is always upbeat and helpful! The Drs. (Milgrom and Pien) are simply the best! They thoroughly listen to my concerns and go out of their to solve what I want to handle. Right now I am going in for cellulite and fat reduction treatment and I got to say I think it’s working!by luli4peenut at
Thanks to American Medical Aesthetics my skin has never looked better. I have struggled with acne and old acne scars for years. They completely got rid of both! I can’t believe that I dont have to wear make-up anymore!

I have been living with severe cystic acne scarring for about 20 years. I had tried so many treatments and very little results. I gave up and resigned myself that I just had to get used to having a scarred face. Then to make things worse, suddenly at 35 years old, my cystic acne came back worse than ever! It was horrible, a real nightmare. This time however, I was lucky, because a colleague at work told me about the amazing results he had with his acne scars at AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. Here is my summary:
The staff are friendly and very caring, and the two doctors who own the clinic are world class experts. Also, Dr. Alice Pien has the most gentle hands and a healing touch.
Bottom line: Not only did they make my active cystic acne disappear, my old horrible scars are 90% gone! for the first time in 20 years, I actually like looking at my face in the mirror, and I love the way my new healthy skin feels.

I’ve had terrible acne and scarring for 25 years. I’ve tried just about everything to get rid of it. Nothing worked and I hated my terrible skin. AMA’s amazing Photo Dynamic Therapy, with ALA and combined with 3 lasers has cleared up my face and healed my acne scarring. While not baby smooth yet, its the best I have looked in decades. I feel great and I am very greatful.

A good friend of mine referred me to this medical practice. I had been considering doing something to improve my skin. I’m in my late 20s and starting to see some of the effects of all those years in the sun (sun spots, pigmentation, discoloration). In addition, I have suffered for years with cystic acne and as a result had some pitted scarring. I finally decided to bite the bullet and make an appt. The space was beautiful, everyone was so friendly, and the consultation was very thorough and informative (and free!). I subsequently had several laser treatments and have had fantastic results. I’ve never had skin that I felt confident going out without makeup on, and now I do. I had very enlarged pores which made me self-conscious. My skin is smoother, my scarring has greatly reduced, and my overall tone and color of my skin is much improved and more youthful. I am so happy I took her advice and came here for treatment. They are wonderful!

Ok, so I usually don’t take the time to write reviews, but I must do so this time. I’ve had acne scarring for over a decade now. I have gone to the best plastic surgeons and dermatologists in LA and San Diego. None of them made me feel comfortable the way Asher and Dr. Pien did at AMA. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease. Asher explained everything to me in detail and he was patient with me. I did not feel like I was being rushed into anything. I truly felt educated about the procedure and I had no reservations. I am an actress so my face is of the utmost importance to me. I knew he was sincere. Plus, I was paying a fraction of the cost other doctors had quoted me for the same procedure. I knew he believed in his product.
Now, to the day of the procedure. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel like a queen. Like there was no one else in the world that was as important as me! Tracy, who is the medical assistant, offered me medicine for my anxiety and the pain. I only took tylenol and also a valium for my nerves. I listened to music in a room with a water fall and I laid on a massage bed until the numbing cream kicked in. Once they were ready, Dr. Pien explained what she was going to do every step of the way. Who does that these days? All doctors are out to make money. Not her. I felt that she cared about me the way my mother would. She engaged me in conversation throughout the treatment and told me what to expect every second. I have never, ever in my entire life came across a doctor like her (and my brother is a doctor!). Never. I have a deeply seated respect for her not just as a doctor, but as a human being who genuinely wants to help others. Her knowledge and expertise in unmatched.
Once the treatment was over, I was sent to the oxygen chamber (i think that’s what it’s called) and I fell asleep! Tracy was constantly checking on me though. They were so nice and friendly. It was like have two of my girlfriends there for support. I will say the treatment was a bit uncomfortable, however, I asked her to be more aggressive in certain areas so I expected that.
All in all, I whole heartedly recommend AMA to anyone who wants first class service. I really felt like a queen walking out of there and I certainly could not have asked for a better medical staff to take care of me. I will definitely be going back for all my procedures from now on.
In terms of results, I am not sure as I just had it done on Thursday and I’m still recovering. I am confident that Dr. Pien has worked her magic though. I will keep everyone posted!
Acne has been around since the days of the Egyptians. Literally, there are all sorts of archeological findings that indicate that cystic acne was an issue all the way back then.
Even so, over the last 4,000 years, we haven’t figured out what the real systemic causes of cystic acne are.The doctors took their time to discuss the best plan for me and really showed that they cared. The staff was so nice and cheerful and I could tell that they really care about the patients that come in.
I’ve had amazing results for treating my acne here and I couldn’t be more happy with my skin. I’ve been to many different places and gotten many laser treatments but this place is the one that cleared my skin!
I would highly recommend coming here for any skin treatment.
AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare has been a blessing to my life. Dr. Pien and Dr. Milgrom have been so supportive in helping me cure my acne.
As a student it’s difficult affording treatments but they have worked with me so much. I had horrible cystic acne before I started going to AMA. They recommend a holistic and natural approach and can guarantee results. Give them a chance they are experts!
I have been to countless dermatologists but no place compares to AMA they really do love their patients.
Dr. Pien is amazing and after only 2 laser treatments for acne my skin is already looking so much better.
In over 15 years I have never had clear skin and I am finally comfortable going outside with NO makeup on.
Highly recommend!
5 stars! Dr. Pien and their staff at AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare have been extremely helpful with every step of my procedure.
Right when I walked inside the office for the first time I was greeted nicely and treated with respect. I had a laser procedure which worked to rid my face of acne. I was confident the procedure would be a success because of how reassuring everyone was answering every questions I had.
Very happy with the results; I would definitely recommend this location. Thank you for changing my LIFE!

I went to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for my acne and red marks (hyperpigmentation). My face was super red and out of control. After the first treatment I saw some really good results. My face looks really good now and the acne has stopped growing! I rarely even wear makeup anymore or need to really cover much. The staff is really nice and welcoming. They educate the patients for a free 30 min to an hour consultation about the science and to understand what is wrong with your skin and exactly how they will treat each thing. Overall this is an excellent value and great results!

I want to start by saying AMA saved my confidence, it’s like they’re miracle workers. I’m African American and just started having skin problems in my early 20’s. I tried every product known to man to help clear up my acne breakouts but nothing worked so I took the next step to receive laser treatment.
Although skeptical initially I did my research and found that if done correctly, it can really make a difference in your skin, AMA was one of the first that popped up when I googled medical facilities that do laser treatment procedures, I read their reviews and was excited to see how many ppl were pleased with them. Long story short I received my first laser acne treatment and within days after the damaged skin peeled off my skin looked so much better, better than it has in years.
Darker skin usually doesn’t respond well to lasers so other doctors are hesitant to treat African Americans/ ethnicities with darker skin but the Doctors at AMA know exactly what they’re doing and the right lasers to use to effectively treat darker skin without further damage.
I recommend AMA to anyone who struggled with skin problems and has tried everything and has ran out of options I PROMISE YOU it’s worth it.

As a professional athlete I’ve constantly battled keeping my hormones and skin in a balanced healthy state. Ive tried everything under the sun from antibiotics to birth control to – some temporarily helped but most wrecked havoc on my internal health and performance. I was in the process of looking for yet another Dermatologist and had high hopes they would have some other idea besides more drugs and creams. That’s when I found AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare online and was instantly intrigued by their holistic progressive approach.
I’ve been a couple times for treatments and no miracles yet but I have realistic expectations that if my skin has been bad for this long it’s going to take some work to get it back to normal. It definitely helps that everyone on staff, especially Dr Pien and Milgrom, are extremely knowledgable, caring and passionate individuals that really care about helping you find the answer. So I’m excited to give this a good go and will update with the results!

AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare has helped me feel good about my skin again. I had become so used to breaking out in cystic acne every month and had tried everything out there. I finally got to the point where I felt like I had exhausted all my options until I decided to give lasers a try. From my initial complimentary consultation with Dr. Milgrom, to my time being prepped for laser treatments, to my time being treated with Dr. Pien..the whole staff is just so personable and makes you feel at home and puts you at ease. The Dr’s took their time to really answer all my questions and concerns and pretty much held my hand through the whole process. I love that this place also really focuses on a holistic healing approach and the doctors and staff also helped me understand how changing my diet and lifestyle would help heal my body overall. A focus on wellness is so rejuvenating and a change from other traditional doctors.
They even have massage chairs while you are waiting!!! So far I have received 3 laser acne treatments that didn’t break the bank and were more cost effective in the long run as I was spending too much money on cortisone shots and ;( Now I don’t get the huge cystic zits I used to and when I do break out, its far less severe. The laser treatments also helped lessen hyperpigmentation I had from sun damage and helped even out my skin tone. So thankful that I decided to try this place out!!!!!

Laser hair removal can remove hair on virtually all areas of the body, including the face, legs, underarms, bikini line, arms, back, chest, etc.
Some areas where hair is to be removed are hard to reach with a razor, or they may be too delicate or sensitive of an area, and thus may benefit more from laser treatments. This is what our patients have to say, in their laser hair removal reviews.“I came here because I had some ingrown hairs on my face. When you have curly hair and you cut it off really low, when they grow back they can cause these ingrown hairs, these razor bumps that are so painful…
… It was so good. I’m a changed man. What they have done here with their ingrown hair treatment, as you can see, is get me back to that baby smooth skin.”I started going to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for laser hair removal after reading rave reviews on Citysearch. I’m happy I did. Laser hair removal is not cheap – at all – but I am seeing great results, especially when I compare them to a friend who got much cheaper treatments. I’m no expert, but I kinda think you get what you pay for in this case.
The space is quite nice, quiet and private, and there is no hard sell. The nurse who does my laser treatments is great: extremely professional and friendly. I’m happy I did it, and plan to go back for other laser treatments.This is just my favorite place, period. The experience from the moment you walk in and walk out is tranquil. They are so professional, and attentive to your needs. I first came here for laser hair removal over a year ago, and I’m back, because there just simply isn’t anyone else better for my needs in my opinion.
I am african american and they take such good care of my skin using the Yag laser. Its also important to me to be heard about my concerns for myself, and here you can ask as many questions as you like, I can tell its important to them that you feel comfortable and confident about your experience. “To good to be true” ? …well ..they’re Damn good, and its True. Don’t pass this place up.
The only services I’ve received here were the laser hair removal treatments for my pits and my ‘stache. I was pretty nervous and probably had too many annoying questions but the staff was genuinely helpful, making sure I felt comfortable. I like that the price sheet was clear and they offer discounts if you pay in advance. After the 5th treatment (for the superthickhairones) the price is discounted 50%.
I eased up after my second appointment and really looked forward to coming back. The laser hair removal treatment itself were not painful at all and I was easily in there for only 5 minutes. It just feels like a really quick wet carpet shock. The last hair removal appointment hurt a little bit, but only because she purposely increased the strength of the laser so I wouldn’t have to come back. It kind of smells like burnt popcorn.
The only complaint is that they don’t validate parking (at their LA location) and I learned after an appointment that I had pushed to a Saturday, that there’s free parking on weekends!I came in for a laser hair removal session and a erbium laser facial. I was skeptical because it was SO expensive, but it was 100% worth it. So worth it. I now feel much more comfortable walking outside without makeup. The hair is 90% gone, when one does grow in it’s FINER to the point I don’t even realize its growing. My chin mind you was something I HID from plain sight for years, I wouldn’t even let men kiss my neck for fear they knew about the stubble! I now have ZERO hair and the infected skin of the hair growing and being removed in a vicious cycle has made my chin go BACK to normal. No discoloration, no dark spots, no enlarged pores, no hair. It’s like the chin I was born with! I cry to even think about how long I held myself back to find a place to help me with this major insecurity!
I’m coming in this week because I’ve been lazy on my maintenance and though the laser is a pain in the ass for recovery (you basically have to stay inside) Im excited for my session because I always feel like even if its been a while this is a place to reset. As an African-American woman – we just have unique skincare needs. I am happy to FINALLY find a place in LA that treats my skin type within my price range. I needed premium esthetic services and derma care, I found it here. I’ll be a customer for as long as they’re in business. If you’re a person of color, I recommend no other facility than AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare.
Dr. Pien is really cool and knowledgeable. Super helpful and considerate. Carrie at the front desk is great! Really nice and on top of it. Good people.I cannot say enough positive things about AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. Dr. Pien is amazing and the staff is phenomenal. My experience at the office includes a series of laser hair removal on my bikini and face areas, and facials – with facials comes all the bells and whistles of a true medi spa like photolight therapy and prescription strength creams. I know I know they would gasp! at such language as they do not like me to use such words as ‘medi spa,’ they’d prefer doctors office, but when you are being pampered and ‘beautified’ you can’t help but use the word. This is my review, so I will use my words, after all censorship is despicable.
First of all, I would like to point out that I have had laser hair removal in the past at several different locations before I found AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. The first time I had laser treatments was at a dermatologist’s office in Newport Beach. A dermatologist I never saw and never met. The PA did the laser treatment, and failed to give me prep or post op instructions which ended up with me shaving – yes shaving in their bathroom before the treatment, and skin scabbing after the procedure. It was awful and very painful. I endured the pain of the ‘gentlelase’ twice, not to mention the $300 ea treatment, before I came to my senses and looked elsewhere. The second place I found was within Irvine, but they could not maintain the cost of the rented machine and went out of business; I treated there for 2 years, and a nurse or LVN always performed the procedure. Suffice it to say, I have had lots of experience with various kinds of lasers and medical professionals when it comes to laser hair removal.
I decided to check out AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare because they are located in my business building; what could more convenient right? Then I met Dr Pien whom I expected to rush through everything and give me a price. Instead she took her time going over an extensive history of my prior treatments to determine which programs and treatments would benefit me best. She is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. She went through the different types of lasers and hair types and the effects each has on the other and told me what to expect. I was provided with all the prep paperwork and explained everything in great detail. Best thing ever – They NUMB YOU!! before the treatment.
The most impressive thing of all is that Dr. Pien does all the treatments herself. An actual doctor! That is not common in laser hair removal. Dr. Pien is exceptional and thorough. She works meticulously to reach every spot. The results are fabulous. I have seen a dramatic difference in the laser hair removal treatments I have received at AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare compared to the other places I have been. In less than two treatments almost all the targeted hair is gone. The value can’t be beat.
I highly recommend AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for laser hair removal. I even got my sister hooked on this place, along with a few close friends. If you are looking for laser hair removal or a great facial I highly suggest you give them a try.by Amy A. at
If you need any type of skin care or hair removal service, this is definitely the go-to. She knew way more about my skin than any dermatologist or laser hair removal specialist I have ever seen before in the past. Just by looking at me, she knew the right course of action to take.
What I really appreciate about her the most is the individualized attention I receive at every single appointment. It’s VIP treatment all the way. She really cares about addressing all my concerns while exceeding my expectations. What more can a patient ask for?
I have seen so much improvement since I first began my sessions. My overall results have been absolutely amazing and there isn’t enough times in the world I can say “Thank you” to show my gratitude. I definitely recommend AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare to anyone who is thinking about coming here. 😉by Julie P. at
After receiving laser hair removal treatments from a dermatologist’s office that I was less than thrilled with, I decided to go for a free consultation with AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. I had seen an ad in a local magazine for their facility and did the usual Google stalking before paying them a visit.
The woman that gave me my free consultation was nice and the facility was welcoming. I was inquiring about more than one service because, hey, who doesn’t have a list of issues? She gave me pricing for the different laser treatments and directed me as to what to focus on first. I was a little concerned when she never even mentioned the doctor or her name, but I just had a good feeling about the place.
Needless to say, I am on my second area of laser hair removal and Dr. Pien has been amazing! She truly wants you to see results as quickly as possible while also managing expectations.
They offer numbing cream prior to the laser treatment where they have you sit in a room with the most awesome massage chairs. Their pricing is totally reasonable as well. I purchased a package of laser hair removal sessions and any additional session after that was half price. I have on occasion had to wait a little longer than I would like for my session to begin, but I understand they are very busy.
Thank you so much to Dr. Pien for being such a rock star.

My daughter and I have been going to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare on and off for over 10 years for laser hair removal on many different areas of the face and body! The staff is very helpful in obtaining appointments and returning phone calls and you even get a reminder call the day before. I just love seeing Dr. Pien as she’s very knowledgeable and caring and offers advice on whole body health.
They also have some great face products for purchase (Epionce and Epicuren) that I’ve come to require for my daily facial care regime and the front office staff and technicians are super helpful. For all of the years and $$$ I’ve spent on waxing, the cost of the laser hair removal is affordable and the best thing is that it’s permanent. I have referred many friends to AMA and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Keep up the good work!As a make-up artist I am always on the lookout for new laser treatments and where to have them done. I was looking to get some broken capillaries lasered and found AMA via CitySearch. I made an appointment. Everyone was very friendly. They had me come in a touch early for the mandatory consult (free of charge) that at first I felt was annoying but it ended up being very smart. It was very clear what I wanted done and what they could do to help.
Dr. Pien was AMAZING! First of all, she looks great. Beautiful skin. That really makes me feel comfortable. She did an all over laser treatment for redness, capillaries and brown spots/sun damage. I liked that while she did the procedure she spoke the entire time, telling me what she was doing, every step. I asked questions and got insights into how and why the laser works.
I highly recommend AMA and Alice to my friends and clients. My skin looks great and I look forward to my ‘maintenance’ appointments. Brett Approved!
I have had a ton of laser hair removal done by different doctors in orange county. I was beyond frustrated after paying all this money to have these hair removal treatments done that are supposed to be permanent. I was referred to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare and can I tell you I am so pleased! The hair is almost completely gone!
I decided to try another treatment here and try to get rid of those pesky spider veins, Dr. Pien is amazing! It took only one laser treatment to make my legs back to normal, and I had some pretty deep spider veins. I will definitely be going back to finish off the laser hair removal and eventually add some new zones.
Totally recommend this place to anyone looking to have these procedures done. Ive even sent some family members here.
I cannot say enough good things about this facility and their staff.
I had some broken capillaries on my face that bothered me immensely. I had given up hope that I could ever get rid of them. One appointment later, the broken capillaries are completely gone.
I will always come to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for my skin care needs.
I’ve seen Dr. Pien for a couple of different treatments. The first was stretch mark reduction which I must say worked fabulously.
My most recent treatment was for redness on my face. I’m fair skinned and wasn’t sure if I was beginning to develop rosacea.
After my first treatment the results where amazing. I never realized just how red and splotchy my face actually was!
Not only have the results from my treatments been amazing, Dr. Pien is an amazing, caring doctor. The entire staff makes you feel comfortable and cared for. Great place!

I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have found Dr Pien and AMA!
I suffered from rosacea and bad broken capillaries on my face. I had a consultation and they recommended a plan of action. I have just completed my last round of laser treatment and my skin is improving more each and every day. For the first time in my life, I feel comfortable without makeup on.
Thank you AMA Skincare and Dr Pien!!
We use your body’s own physiology to remodel your skin from the inside out. We believe that the most effective technique to offer you fabulous-looking skin on the outside is to use your own natural physiology to “regenerate” your skin so that it is young, healthy, and strong on the inside. It’s what sets our multi-modality procedures apart. And our patients are ecstatic about their beautiful, healthy new skin!
We are humbled and honored to have cared for so many patients.“Hi I’m Mina, I am a dentist. I had a hyperpigmentation problem of my face that hit me after menopause…
… Dr. Pien worked her magic laser melasma treatment on me to the point that I have no makeup on right now. Now I feel very confident, I can walk around without makeup on. I actually don’t wear foundation anymore The fact of the matter is, Dr. Pien will get down to the bottom of your hyperpigmentation problem and she will fix whatever you need to have fixed.”
Laser treatment for acne scars is a procedure that is intended to repair the scarring that is typically found in patients suffering from cystic acne, which can physically disfigure a person. Because acne scars can last a lifetime, scarring can have a profound psychological impact.
“I came to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare because I searched far and wide all over Orange County and Los Angeles for someone to help with my acne scars. I tried pretty much everything but nothing really seemed to help…
… I feel like the stem cells have helped a lot. I feel less self-conscious and actually feel like I can smile again and not feel embarrassed because of the scaring. It’s been a big thing for me.”
At AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare, our professional laser hair removal specialists employ cutting-edge laser technology to permanently remove unwanted hair from your skin!
“I came here because I had some ingrown hairs on my face. When you have curly hair and you cut it off really low, when they grow back they can cause these ingrown hairs, these razor bumps that are so painful…
… It was so good. I’m a changed man. What they have done here with their laser hair removal treatment, as you can see, is get me back to that baby smooth skin.”
Thank Dr. Pien for taking care of my daughter, her tattoo removal look great!
She didn’t have any scar.
Thank for your compassion of your work .
Just finished a series of 9 zerona treatments and enjoyed the two weeks I chose to commit to commute to the Newport Beach area in search of a slimmer waistline. I am still dropping inches like I was told I would a week after the sessions have ended and all the while never experienced pain.
The staff members I interacted with were not only very knowledgeable, they were very personable and willing to share their knowledge about the treatments and equipment as well as being very responsive to my having to reschedule the appointments several times due to my work schedule constraints.
The vast array of lasers available in this office coupled with the holistic approach puts them on the cutting edge in treatments for surgery free solutions. While not inexpensive, the cost of the treatments are certainly a good value when considering the amount spent on Botox and fillers as quick fix temporary solutions with questionable outcomes or having to deal with even more expensive surgery alternatives.
Dr. Milgrom himself, took the time to educate us in the methods they have perfected using lasers to jumpstart the skin into doing the work itself rather than burning the layers of skin as so many of the treatments du jour manage to do. Being a believer in subtle refinement with a natural outcome– AMA has convinced me. And now that I’ve successfully completed the first set of treatments for fat reduction I’ll be bringing my friends and returning for treatments to heal my skin irregularities. The office is located so close to the Orange County Airport you could walk if needed and if you’re driving it’s a short distance just south of the 405 and they do validate parking.

This place is outstanding! I came here with horrible skin and they were able to cure it for me. Everyone here is so caring and they do everything with absolute care.
I would recommend this place for anyone with all skin types! Overall, my whole family loves this place and we’ve been going here for the past couple of years!by E C. at
Dr’s Milgrom and Pien are amazing! I am currently coming here for tattoo removal. I had a terrible experience with tattoo removal in the past (with a different dr’s office) that left me with permanent scars. I came here and sat with Dr. Milgrom to discuss removing another tattoo. I was really nervous but he patiently answered all of my questions and set me at ease.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Pien for the laser treatments. I actually look forward to my sessions just to chat with her…she is beyond sweet! From the moment you meet her you can tell she genuinely cares for her patients. I have only had 5 sessions and my tattoo has nearly diminished. I would absolutely recommend for tattoo removal. I will be back for sure for other skin care maintenance! Thank you Dr. Pien!!

Dr pien is arguably one of the best Medical doctors in southern California. I am a person of color and it is very difficult to find solutions to accommodate and improve darker skin. Every time i go for a follow up each month i get the peel which works wonders for my skin, giving it more clarity and smoothness and peeling off damaged old skin. She and also her staff are very professional and informative i honestly cant think of one negative thing to say about the practice. Writing this review was the least that i can do to show my appreciation for all that dr.pien and her staff has done.
If you’re seeking a highly experienced doctor you might as well start with the best. I would highly recommend her services to anyone with all skin types and problems.
by Lena S. at
Tricia, the receptionist, is so amazingly sweet. She is warm and welcoming–makes me feel comfortable coming here each and every time. Love love her!
Leila, the nurse,does my Microneedling Treatments and she is beyond awesome. I love the CIA treatment…And I love getting it done by her. She too, is so very warm and inviting. She makes me feel at ease, always making sure to check up on my comfortability or pain factor.
You may have to come for several sessions to see improvement with the CIA, but it is worth it. I think it may be even more beneficial rather than paying for costly laser treatments (if you have the patience) and if you have minor to moderate skin issues only.
The customer service here is excellent, thanks to those two amazing women! Thank you ladies!

I just experienced a $500 CO2 fractional laser special… In a word it was… Amazing!
The price… Other places that I called around to were all charging 2 to 3 times more for the same procedure. This made me a little skeptical at first but considering that I was referred by a friend this place it had to be reputable. So I scheduled a consultation and met with Dr. Milgrom.
The consultation… I walked in and was taken aback a bit at the beauty of their office. Feels more like an art gallery than a medical clinic. Later I was told that all of the art comes from patients of theirs. That’s pretty cool. Each person I met on their staff made me feel more and more like I was home while I waited for the doc. I didn’t have to wait for long before the doc came out, introduced himself as Asher, invited me into the consultation room and asked me “what would you like to learn about”. The best part of the consultation was that he listened to me. I never felt rushed or sold. He spent the time to answer all my questions and I came out of that consultation feeling like an expert in lasers and an expert in skin. I really liked that.
The treatment… I scheduled my treatment for a week later. I came an hour before my treatment to get numbed up. I met the medical director Dr. Pien who checked to see if I had any more questions. I did, and she answered them all. What a sweetheart. The staff brought me back to a room with giant massage chairs and a very peaceful ambiance. They applied numbing cream to my face which I was told would make it so I barely felt the laser treatment. Once the numbing cream was applied I sat back and marinated in the massage chair. Pure bliss. Once the numbing cream had taken effect I was taken back to the laser room. I laid back and let Dr. Pien work her magic. The treatment itself was nearly painless. 10 to 15 minutes later I was all done and ready to go.
The recovery… Was not bad at all. I pretty much looked like I had a sun burn which faded away within a few days. There was no pain. The only thing I could feel was the tightness. This I considered a good thing.
The results… I was pleasantly surprised. From what I know about lasers now it typically takes 2 to 3 treatments before you really start seeing results. So I was excited to see a difference after the first treatment. Can’t wait to have more. I saw a noticeable difference in the wrinkles around my mouth and eyes. Overall the texture of my skin is much better and my pores are smaller. I know it’s too early to be definitive but looking in the mirror I could swear that my skin in fuller and tighter.
The experience… Just fantastic. They really take care of you in every way. The entire staff is a joy to be around and you really feel like you get the individual attention you want and deserve.

I have been coming to Dr. Pien for about 3 years now on and off for skin care. She has a great staff. They are very attentive. She answers any questions about the laser procedures; which in turn educates her patients at the same time. Her expertise and the expertise of her staff is very reassuring that I came to the right place. Dr. Pien uses a holistic approach to lasers which gives amazing results. It is an excellent value for the superior service that you will receive.
by Vanessa S. at
I have been going to AMA Skincare for over 10 years now and I absolutely love them. The staff is great and with every procedure I have had amazing results. I also really like there holistic wellness approach.
Dr. Pien and her staff’s services are superior they are very knowledgeable and have great expertise. They also make sure the customer knows exactly why they need the laser procedure that they need and leave the patient very educated! Love them.

Look. I have been EVERYWHERE in this city… I’m a skin care junkie and will only go to the highest quality spas and/or anything to do with the face… it’s your face! It’s delicate and it should only be placed in the best hands. I was sooo impressed with American Medical Aesthetics… the staff is absolutely amazing and thorough and really care about helping you obtain the result you are searching for.
But beyond that, I had Collagen Induction Therapy(CIT) with them and the thoroughness and detail and attention I received while I was in the process of having this done to me was absolutely impeccable and the best treatment I’ve had in all the years I’ve gone to “four star spas and skin centers”. I’ve only had one micro needling treatment of the three I have purchased and can already see the improvement in my skin texture!! If you’re looking for results and amazing service, look no further than American Medical Aesthetics!!!
I can’t express enough how generous and kind Dr. Pien and her staff are. Everyone in the office are caring, respectful, professional and go above and beyond every time I go there. I been going for the past year and I will continue to go.
Every time I leave after my treatment I feel fabulous and excited to come back. Driving from Oceanside to this office is so worth the experience. Everyone is very friendly and have years of experience .
I trust and love AMA services and the positive outcome. Thank you for the wonderful service.I love AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare, the staff is so great ( Dr Milgrom, Pien, and of course the lovely manager Tricia who helped explain everything to me before arrival.)
They have cutting edge tech stuff with lasers and peels, and also they offer good traditional facials. Know their stuff to give good visible results. Can’t wait until I am in the area again for my next visit!
I absolutely loved my time there & I would love to continue to go as much as I can for laser treatments
(note to state ; I go when my skin is in need of help)
Everyone there are very sincere & caring & very helpful.
I was so happy to find AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare! They have given me the confidence I’ve wanted/needed for so long!
The deciding factor to chose AMA was the amazing patient education I received on my first (and every) appt, the expertise of the medical staff is very reassuring and they never leave me in the dark about what laser procedures they’re doing.
I really love the great staff! They are so calming when I’m a little nervous and really take their time with me and ask to make sure I’m ok. Lasers can be a little overwhelming so I’m so thankful to the calm, relaxing atmosphere.
I couldn’t be more thrilled with the amazing results! I really appreciate the holistic approach in a very zen office.
Thank you AMA! I will recommend everyone to you!!
Five star service and follow up support for laser treatments.
Always made to feel welcome and like I’m the most important client. Staff is warm, knowledgable and welcoming.
Love AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare!!I am so excited that I found a place that can help me look better, younger and I enjoy going to the office. It’s a relaxing environment while waiting to prepare for laser treatments.
Nurses, receptionists are so nice and helpful. Doctors are exceptional and best of all I see the results that I was hoping for with no pain.
For me I don’t care for needles and surgery and the results I got without downtime is totally amazing. So for me this was a big time find. Turning 53 doesn’t have to be so awful after all. Thank you AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare.I’m really happy with AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare!!! Was VERY impressed with their free consultation and a very relaxing, tranquil atmosphere. The consultation with Dr Milgrom was thorough and didn’t feel rushed at all.
Dr Pien was very kind and generous to also erase a mole (was gone immediately) despite that my laser treatment was for other things. I also REALLY appreciate their honesty as well as holistic approach to skin treatments!!!!!
5 STARS!!!!
Was pleasantly surprised to find such a great place in AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare after my friend referred me to an esthetician there (Michelle).
In addition to her masterful work, the staff is friendly, especially Tricia, and I feel like I’m always being treated like family there.
My skin is thankful for it!Best skin of my life. Thank you.
Staff is kind , friendly and always helpful.
I recommend to everyone I know. It’s quick and the best thing you can do for yourself. I saved for a while to get the services but so glad I did!Awesome service.
People there were very friendly and attentive.
Unfortunately they are not open late and not open weekends, so that’s the only downer for me 🙁 but other than that it was a great experience!I looove this place!!!! I’ve been getting my laser treatments here.
The staff is truly amazing and their quality of treatment is great. I live about an hour and half away but worth the drive.
Highly highly highly recommend this place. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I cannot say enough good things about AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare!
The staff is so friendly and the doctors treat you like family.
I have referred two friends and I look forward to my next appointment!by David C. at
Everything about this place is OUTSTANDING! From the Doctors to the staff to the environment… all FIVE STARS.
I read all of the other reviews… 99% of patients LOVE them as I do. And one bozo had a gripe that seems to be a personal vendetta. It takes all types I guess!
Anyway, AMA has been the best and most professional health provider I’ve ever experienced. And when Im there and see people flying in from around the world for their world class services- it’s no surprise. BTW, I too would fly far just to be treated there. Happily they are only 90 minutes away!by Sam C. at
So far, I’m very happy with their customer service.
Skin problems can be a traumatic thing- not just about looking beautiful. And not everyone has the luxury like Kim Kardashian to fix every flaw. That’s why it is so refreshing to come to this office. They are very attuned with their customers and really listen. They go out of their way to give you a thorough treatment.
I will update on results in the future.
Hands-down I’m in love with this place…
Thank you for the wonderful services you provide for people.
I know I will be using you for a long moment! Thank you so much again.by Darlene H. at

I went in for the free consultation. I called last Wednesday and they saw me the next day in the morning. Talk about QUICK! 🙂 I met with Dr. Milgrom who sat down with me for about 30 minutes to discuss my issues. He was very honest and made me feel more than comfortable and like he actually cared. He explained EVERYTHING in great detail with diagrams. I still cant get over the fact that it was free and I learned so much. He set me up with a plan and well see how it works 🙂 Very personable employees, lovely calming atmosphere, and definitely would recommend this place to friends! I will probably go back for any further problems or questions!

Laila is the best! She always goes above and beyond in her work. I have been going to AMA for YEARS and I can honestly say AMA truly has the best and latest technology! They have he best costumer service, they make you feel comfortable, always accommodating my last minute requests, and sincerely care about you and your concerns especially the Doctor and Laila! You guys are truly the best and I am so grateful for every laser treatment I get, I get results! Thank you AMA!
by Amy L. at
If every doctor and practice were as thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable as this place, what a world it would be! Start your search here and compare every other medical practice to these high standards. This place is what a medical practice should be!
They’ve renewed my faith that there are doctors out there interested in your health and not just your wallet. Their prices are reasonable and their service is truly beyond compare. You’ll be so happy you found them!
Anyone that gives this place a bad review is clearly someone who no one happy because this place will do everything in their power to improve your life!

My wife and I have been coming to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for a few years now and remain committed to the laser protocol that has been developed.
Dr Pien does amazing work!
by Michelle T. at
Not only is it obvious that everyone cares a great deal about the clients, it’s a joy with every visit. The front desk couldn’t be friendlier and the estheticians are unbelievably skilled at their craft.
Michelle in particular is absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to book my next appointment!

Dr. Milgrom and Dr. Pien are the absolute best!
I’ve been a patient of theirs for several years and can tell you that without a doubt, they’re worth all 5 stars. They use the most cutting edge technology, have the most accommodating support staff and their bedside manner is impeccable.
You will not be disappointed with your experience nor your results here!
“Hi I’m Mina, I am a dentist. I had a hyperpigmentation problem of my face that hit me after menopause…
… Dr. Pien worked with me to the point that I have no makeup on right now. Now I feel very confident, I can walk around without makeup on. I actually don’t wear foundation anymore The fact of the matter is, Dr. Pien will get down to the bottom of your hyperpigmentation problem and she will fix whatever you need to have fixed.”
I came for Melasma. I’m one of the patients for doctor Pien. She’s a very good person, responsible for me.
I’ve been done my treatment for 4 times( that’s a long time for me). But I really Appreciate that I choose them.
I still remember My last time I went to another Laser center, they messed up my skin ( by that moment I felt like I want to kill myself. I didn’t have any confidence to see any of my friends. Upset 24 hours a day, never wanted to see the Mirror). I thought I won’t be better anymore. But I still gave myself last chance to this doctor.To be honest, I’ve very Nervous at first time Doctor Pien was doing treatment for me ( because I didn’t know her, maybe she’s the same as the last doctor or just wanted get money from me or whatever). But I was wrong. During all this months. I can see her personality. I can trust her.
Today I was doing another treatment I saw she’s probably training new doctor. I heard what she taught her student that made me feel comfortable. A good doctor more than I know of course! I think she’s a good leader too. Because all of her employees/coworkers are very nicely and patiently. I’m a patient, I don’t know about others, but for I know, they’re doing very good job there!Hi I’m Mina, I am a dentist. I had a melasma problem of my face that hit me after menopause. I went to another dermatologist and she tried everything. We did many different melasma treatments. The brown spots on my face would lighten and within 3 days they would come back. After trying everything she had to throw at me I ended up with the same symptoms and then I basically gave up trying to find a cure.
One day I stumbled on to Dr. Pien’s website. Reading the reviews there were many other women that had the same pigmentation problems and they had gotten to the point where they did not have to wear makeup anymore. So I said, OK, for my birthday present I’m going to try this one more time. We did the treatment and I am a special case but the difference with Dr. Pien is that she has every different type of laser. It’s not like when you go to other dermatologists were they have one or two lasers and if you only have a hammer, everything is a nail. So they will try what they have. Dr. Pien has every possible laser that you can think of. She’s high tech and she is very capable but on top of that she is very caring. She cares about the results of her treatments. She cares about her patients.
I was about to give up and she told me “you know what, let me try”. We tried little things and I am hyper-sensitive. What would work on a normal person would actually make me hyper react and that could be a very common thing with asians.
Now I feel very confident, I can walk around without makeup on. I actually don’t wear foundation anymore I just put on sunblock.
I was referred to Dr. Pien and her team by a friend and could not be happier. I’ve received a number of services, including facials and lasers, and have seen amazing results with all my melasma treatments. The staff is unbelievably kind and accommodating.
The most recent treatment I’ve done was a laser treatment to reduce the size and pigment of many moles and freckles on my upper body due to sun damage. Laila helped with the initial process of numbing, and I got to relax in a massage chair before Dr. Pien came in and quickly zapped all the troubling spots.
I would recommend AMA to everyone. They’re amazing people and know exactly how to treat your skin.
by Wenny J. at
I just had the 3rd treatment of melasma with Dr. Pien at AMA. I am very happy with the results.
Dr. Pien is very knowledgeable, caring and patient. She uses a combination of different lasers to treat melasma, resulting in more effective and long lasting results. I think AMA’s unique procedure on treating melasma has set it apart from other medical spas.
Dr. Pien, Dr. milgrom and their staff are very friendly, and they make sure that the patients are feeling comfortable and cared for. I can’t speak highly enough for Dr. Pien and AMA team in Orange County.by Michael B. at
Dr. Pien and Staff at AMA are wonderful. The staff worked with me in coordinating an appointment time with my schedule and coming from out of state.
The day of my appointment nothing was going in my favor. My flight was delayed by hours because of bad weather, and there was no way I was going to make my appointment time. Between flights, I received notification that my credit card had been compromised with fraudulent charges and that my card was suspended. So I arrived in California missing my appointment, with no way to pay, and a flight back to Texas in just over an hour.
Thankfully Dr. Pien and staff still had me come in since I had traveled so far just to see them. They treated me like VIP; they had me in and out and back at the airport on time!!! I am so thankful to everyone who helped me in and out that day.
Just in case you are wondering, I opted for no pain-numbing for my treatment to save time and they don’t take PayPal so you will have to find a really good friend to bail you out, lol. I almost forgot! I went in for Melasma treatment, and after one treatment my pigmentation looks better than it has from 12 other treatments by other doctors.
Hopefully, with Dr. Pien’s experience I can finally be rid of my hyper-pigmentation.
by Khuong T. at
I been going here to get her face treated for imperfect skin tone.
Dr. Pien is very patient treating her and try different type of laser procedures. It has work very well. Of course, it takes a lot of time and patient to treat skin discoloring.
I highly recommend Dr. Pien. She is very knowledgeable in her profession.by Sherman_Rez L. at
This is an overdue feedback! I am truly grateful for finding AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. I developed Melasma about a couple years ago and this got exasperated when I went to a med spa for IPL treatments unfortunately. I did so much research which lead me to Dr. Milgrom and Dr. Pien and they are really the most informative doctors in the industry who have nailed down how to combine medical and holistic solutions for best skincare. Dr. Milgrom took the time to explain what melasma is and the melasma causes of my skin condition clearly by drawing everything on paper. I had been to many dermatologists and med spas to interview them and this was really the first place that resonated well, and for good reasons that is! I now know where and what layer of skin contains Melasma, where it comes from, how it gets triggered and how it can be tamed. My skin has improved already and I am continuing with AMA to get more treatments.
During my consultation Dr. Milgrom noticed I was fatigued and he told me that a vitamin B shot would help me. Next thing I knew he told his nurse to give it to me for free. I was astounded how kind and generous he was. And then during my past two treatments, Dr. Pien explained how she mixed the laser machines to make sure skin is renewed without being harmed, and also gave me some great tips on holistic measures which I can take.
AMA is honest, informative and they have latest and variety of equipment. Their nurses are also so warm and professional, both. I live in Sherman Oaks and it is quite a long drive for me, especially with my hectic work schedule, but I do it with no hesitation. I am personally delighted to have found my holy grail of skincare. Thank you, Dr. Pien, Dr. Milgrom and your awesome staff.

I have been seeing Dr. Pien and her team for over a year now. I came to AMA because I had melasma (clusters of dark pigment) on my face, as well as large pores, and acne scars. I was referred to Dr. Pien from my mom who had highly reviewed her for her laser treatments.
The first time I called, I was surprised by how quickly the receptionist answered the phone and by her friendly attitude. She addressed all of my questions and made me feel comfortable in moving forward with an appointment. After a consultation, I decided to have laser facial treatments done. I had 3 sessions over the course of 8 months or so.
The results were amazing. 90% of my dark spots have faded. No matter what topical products say that they will reduce the appearance of spots, really the only way to do it through laser. My skin glows now and has a really nice texture. The majority of my acne scars have decreased significantly. The best part about getting laser is that it is a holistic approach to skincare. From my consultation, I learned what melasma is, what causes melasma and that laser inflicts microscopic damage to the skin and your immune system works to repair it. Through the repair, your skin improves and it reverses aging. Of course they explain it better, but I liked knowing that the majority of the process was from my own body making the changes.
I see Dr. Pien for other services now and will continue to do so not just for the amazing results. She is the sweetest, most considerate doctor out there. She is always very warm and happy to help you. Dr. Pien and AMA work to help you achieve your goals. Their staff is knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. They are well versed in the science behind skincare and stay up to date on the latest procedures.
If you are looking to dramatically change your skin, go to AMA. Their professionality, quality of service, and excellent value will make you a return customer. I have told many friends about their services and will gladly recommend them to more.
Please note that all treatments are subjective to each patient’s health and his/her own healing process. In my case, I was shocked by how severe I looked after my first treatment. I basically looked like a lizard for 5 days (this is due to the laser peel–not co2 fractional or pigment laser which I have had separately), but the outcome was incredible. I have never seen my skin look so good. Just a warning that the healing process is the most challenging part. Expect to stay at home for a couple of days unless you are okay with going outside with dark, peeling patches. Another thing to note is that you must keep up with a healthy skincare regimen (sunscreen!!!) for lasting results.

This is my second review so this will be a very brief but genuine post. I have been receiving laser melasma treatments to help and even the pigmentation of my skin and some brown spots, and Dr. Pien sets the bar very high when it comes to her work. Im am amazed almost in disbelief of how my skin improved over time.
Although some procedures may take a little more time than others. AMA makes sure they get the job, unlike these greedy LA doctors who try to milk you for your last dime with sketchy results, Dr. Pien cares for me as if I’m a friend or family member showing compassion for my problem and delivering the solution.
Thank you guys even friends are starting to see the difference.

I could not be happier that I found AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. For the last three years I’ve had Melasma spots on my upper lip and cheekbones that were progressively getting worse. I tried many things to help reverse the dark spots on my skin but nothing was working. After coming across AMA on yelp, and researching their website, I decided to schedule a consultation.
During the consultation Dr. Milgram took the time to get to know me, and what my skin concerns were. He then explained what is melasma in depth, and discussed a tailored melasma treatment that would be best for me. I appreciate the time he took to answer all my questions, as I always have many questions. After an hour-long chat with him, I decided to go with a treatment that would address my Melasma and acne scars at the same time. I had received other consultations prior to this, but I felt most confident with AMA’s expertise and holistic approach.
I have since had two laser treatments and Collagen Induction Therapy in between. During each visit, the staff is amazing at helping you feel relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Pien walks you through each step describing the purpose of each laser she is using. I’ve been especially thankful for their follow up care. They send you home with written instructions, send daily email care instructions, and call to check up on you.
The results have been great so far. Even after my first laser treatment I noticed a huge improvement in my skin. My Melasma spots were lighter, my overall skin tone was more even, and I rarely break out now. For the first time in 10 years I feel comfortable leaving the house without makeup. In fact I hate wearing makeup now. I receive compliments on my skin from friends and family and not only does it look better, but more importantly I feel happier and more confidant. I look forward to my future appointments at AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare as I know I’ll continue to grow happier with each laser treatment.

I’ve struggled with Melasma spots on my nose, upper lip, and cheeks for close to four years. I’ve tried every possible cream, serum, wash; anything I could get my hands on to help lighten the embarrassingly dark spots on my skin. I asked my regular dermatologist about the possibility of laser treatment, but I was shut down immediately. “You’ll do more harm than good. Any good results you see will only be temporary,” he warned. Not only did he tell me I would have to live with my spots for the rest of my life, he also said they would most likely get worse over time. I left his office convinced I would never leave the house without makeup again.
As time went on, I realized my doctor was right about one thing. My spots did get worse. But I couldn’t believe that there was nothing I could do to help it. That’s when I found AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. I decided that a free consultation couldn’t hurt, so I made an appointment to meet with Rebecca, the Director of Operations. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she was during our meeting. She explained every part of AMA’s holistic approach to their treatments, how my immune system would react to the lasers treatment, and the effect it would have on the dark spots. She patiently answered every question I had, and I certainly had a lot. Dr. Milgrom joined us part way through the consultation and he was just as patient with me and my questions. Both Rebecca and Dr. Milgrom made me feel completely at ease and I confidently decided to schedule my first Melasma treatment.
I could not be happier that I made that decision. Dr. Pien explained every step of the melasma treatment and took great care to calm my nerves. I didn’t think it was possible to have more questions after my consultation, but I did and Dr. Pien answered them all. After just the first melasma treatment my skin looked amazing. The dark spots on my cheeks and nose were significantly lighter. they’re almost unnoticeable now. My lip has some way to go, but it’s definitely better than it’s been in years.
For the first time in almost four years, I feel confident enough to leave the house with no makeup. It actually brought a tear to my eye. I had no idea how negatively my dark spots affected my self-confidence and day to day life. I had my second laser melasma treatment today, and I can’t wait to see the results.
Thank you AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for your wonderful work.

I have nothing but outstanding comments for AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. They truly care for the patient and do what is best.
I have a melasma condition and this is by far the only place that has shown me some serious results. They also have a holistic approach to melasma treatment that it changed the way I see life and how I take care of myself.
Thank you to everyone at AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare.
I highly recommend AMA. Dr. Pien is informative, patient, and talented.
I’ve had amazing results in such a short amount of time!! They help with just about any concern (sun damage, skin tone/texture, melasma, an overall refresher).
I’m extremely happy I decided to go in for a consultation. This is my go to spot for skincare treatment.
Thank you Dr. Pien and team!I have been living with sun spots for about 15 years and they have only been getting worse. I’ve been investing in lots of over the counter dark spot removers and concealers for the past 5 years with no result. I have also gone to over skincare places inquiring on laser treatments, but was told sun spots could not be removed.
Finally after noticing new sun spots making an appearance on my face I decided to look into laser removal. Through my research I discovered AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. Their reviews are great so I took advantage of their FREE Consultation.
The place is great, relaxing, with friendly staff. What a relief to learn they can remove these ugly sun spots!!! I had my first treatment last week and already I see a noticeable improvement with my face! I love it! I have a second treatment in a few weeks scheduled, which might be the last one and I am looking forward to clear skin.
This place delivers!Impressed with my results. I saw this place online and figured why not go for a free consultation. I’ve had freckles and a sun spot since I can remembered and wanted to explore some options that were more aggressive than whitening serums. The place is located in a corporate type of plaza near John Wayne airport. However, when you walk into the suite it’s like a whole other world. The office is tastefully decorated like a spa. My consultation with Dr. Asher was easy breezy and he made me feel very comfortable with my laser procedure. He explained that Asian skin requires some knowledge of how to treat it.
The day of my procedure, they put me in a big massage chair with a cup of tea while the numbing cream did it’s magic. The laser procedure to remove the sun spots itself took maybe 15 mins. Pretty painless because after of the numbing cream, felt like tiny pin pricks.
After the laser procedure they prefaced that my freckles are going to be a lot darker than usual but should flake off after a few days. Admittedly, I had some doubt that this was going to be effective. However about 5 days the dark spots on my face really did flake off and my complexion has never been clearer. The procedure wasn’t cheap but definitely worth every cent.

I would recommend the AMA Regeneration Medicine and Skincare facility to anyone and everyone. I am currently being treated for age spots on my face. After several treatments, the spots have pretty much disappeared. I am ecstatic. It has changed my appearance and has made me more confident.
Everyone at AMA has been great. My initial consultation was with Dr. Asher Milgrom. He explained how the laser would clear my spots. He answered all my questions and made sure I was comfortable with the regimen.
Dr. Alice Pien conducted one of my sessions and she made sure that the treatment plan was conducive to my needs. They are very thorough at AMA.
Karen has completed many of my sessions. She is very knowledgeable and explains everything as she works. Karen is a very caring person. She treats me like a person and not like just another client.
Jennifer always greets me with a smile. Even when I arrived late to an appointment, she was very understanding. My experience at AMA has been great!

A great experience from beginning to end.
I had sun spot removal and did a laser skin resurfacing treatment. I spent too much time in the sun without sunscreen as a kid and it is definitely coming back to haunt me now.
After the laser treatment, my skin looked better than it has looked in years. I thought the sun damage was irreversible, but the texture of my skin is so much healthier looking and smoother. And the brown spots and broken capillaries around my nose – gone.
They were extremely professional and made me feel totally comfortable and confident with their care. I will definitely be back again for another laser treatment. In fact, I intend to be a life-long client!

This review is for the Irvine and LA office of AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare, as I have been to both of their locations 🙂 . I should have written this review a long time back.
I went to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare first in 2010. I met with Dr. Milgrom about my freckles laser treatment on my face. He took a time and explained me the reason behind getting freckles on face and body. This session was so informative.
Then I met Dr. Pien who did my first laser treatment, and Dr. Pien is amazing, when I met her I felt I am in a right hands, I was so impressed when Dr. Pien told me that she tell her patients that they don’t need to hold their self back from going outside in the sun like to beaches etc.. go outside and enjoy your life. Just come once a year to treat your self.
Their whole staff is amazing. Knowledgeable, they take time to listen to you. Overall I am so happy with my experience with AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. I recommend everyone to visit AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare if you are struggling with any skin problems. :):):):)

I am Asian and have age spots. Any Asian knows, we have stubborn skin and these spots are difficult to remove. I have been to several dermatologists all to no avail. I was referred to AMA by a friend and was skeptical, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to check it out. I was sold within minutes.
I had my first laser treatment a couple of days later. Everyone (including the receptionist) is so knowledgeable and friendly. They made sure I knew what to expect and how to care for my skin. A week later, I could see the dark spots were fading and I only had one treatment! It is worth every penny I spent and then some and I normally can’t afford luxuries such as this, but they are quite reasonable and have low interest payment plans.
I checked a few places before deciding on AMA Skincare. Initially I thought they would be more expensive but I went with them anyway because they seemed the most knowledgeable. I think it ended up being cheaper than other places though because they don’t nickel and dime you. Even though I was there for like 2-3hrs (consultation, waiting for anesthetic to kick in, hyperbaric chamber after, etc), I only had to pay for the 15min laser treatment.
Also, I thought they might not have done enough on my second laser treatment so they had me come back a couple days later and gave me a touch up for free. The facility is great and since they remodeled it’s even better. The place is like a spa. They even have massage chairs while you wait. Their staff is really nice and professional and the doctors are top notch. If there is a laser treatment they can’t do themselves they know where to refer you.
And in case you’re wondering does it work? YES. I noticed amazing results after 1 treatment. This is the best place to go for any kind of laser treatment!by Susannah B. at
I am absolutely amazed by the incredible results I’ve had at AMA Skincare. I will definitely continue a regimen of laser treatments for many years to come! Sun spots, age spots and red capillaries have disappeared, pores are smaller, and my skin is smooth, radiant and more “spongy” and youthful-feeling than ever before. I’ve had treatments on my hands too and the results were superb.
Previously, I had a few foto-facials and laser treatments at a well-known West Hollywood skin salon as well as at my dermatologist’s office. NONE OF THEM COMPARE TO THE TREATMENTS AT AMA, where the laser does so many different things — much more than at any other place I tried.
Everyone who works here is attentive, caring, knowledgeable and sweet. They prep you with numbing cream and make you extremely comfortable in the amazing massage chairs before each treatment. Dr. Pien is sensitive and careful, telling you everything she’s doing so there are no surprises. And recovery in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber is an extra you will find NOWHERE else. Yet another example of what AMA Skincare offers — 5-star luxury treatment combined with the highest quality medical care you can find.
Currently, I am having treatments to “color-blend” an ugly scar that resulted from surgery. After just one session, the redness was reduced and the scar appeared smoother and less noticeable. Next week I’ll go back for another treatment. Once again, AMA is making me feel better about myself and how I look…and offering hope. AMA is an amazing place — highly recommended!

The laser facial treatments absolutely exceeded my expectations. I had NO idea that my sun damaged skin could ever look that good again. I get comments almost daily about how great my skin looks.
The procedure, the follow up, and the results were all first rate.
I wouldn’t hesitate recommending American Medical Aesthetics to anyone.
A birthmark is a blemish on the skin visible at birth, or a very short while after birth. Birthmarks can be classified in many ways, according to their appearance.
The two main types of birthmarks are… 1. Vascular, they’re red, purple, or pink, and they’re caused by an anomalous bunching up of blood vessels underneath the skin. Many experts believe that they’re not genetically inherited. 2. Pigmented, these birthmarks are colored brown and their emergence is caused by a bunching up of skin pigmentation cells.I absolutely adore Dr. Pien and her team of caring, compassionate, loving, kind, gentle nurses and staff. This is a very professional, honest, legitimate skincare practice and it is so obvious that it is passion driven.
If you are serious about your skincare and want to go to an honest place, come here.
I have been treating a cafe au lait birthmark, I have been treating hyperpigmentation, as well as laser hair removal on various areas. I am olive complected and have African descent and we all know how complex it can be to treat that skin type. This place has the expertise, knowledge, and equipment to treat them all.
I always leave here feeling relieved and happy. I have been a patient for over a year and a half, I transferred from the LA location to Irvine location and my service has not changed.
As with any medical procedure, do your research, but coming from a gal who is no stranger to med spas, I encourage to stay away from places that pop up out of no where, change ownership/names often, have no doctor on hand, does webcam diagnosing, high nurse turnover rate, always a new nurse, etc. those places are purely profit driven, they lack passion, and it shows in the treatment you receive and the staff you deal with as I have been burnt by inexperienced technicians in those kinds of places.
Save yourself the time and money of having to erase mistakes from those kinds of places and just come here.
AMA has been around, under the same name, and you always deal with the same staff, so that in itself speaks volumes. I trust and love AMA skincare and I am positive that I will be a patient for life.Best dermatologist I have ever been to! I have a birth mark on my face and I been to a dozen of dermatologist and most told me it was impossible to remove it or have tried a laser treatment and nothing happened, until I found Ama skincare first of they gave me a free consultation and a free test spot, this is the first time I have ever seen results! I’m probably in my 4th laser treatment now and it’s almost gone, Dr.Alice Pien has been extremely patient with me and explains everything on what to expect and every little detail about a birthmark, you can definitely tell they are all educated and certified to be a dermatologist.
Oh and the best part is it’s not too pricey it’s very affordable and it’s a good price for what you’re asking for she also removed a small mole for free just out of her character! I seriously don’t know why I didn’t come here in the first place instead of throwing away so much money on other dermatologist, also they have a very cool relaxing waiting room with massage chairs and their staff is amazing! Honestly love them for what they have done for me (:
UPDATE 6/28
Let me just start off by saying I was born with a dark brown birth mark on my face, it was a size of a quarter, and I was bullied growing up because of it. I would always wear make up to try covering it up, even going to the beach I would wear a full face of make up and I would not even go in the water. I decided I wanted to get it removed. I went to 6 different Dermatologists in Beverly Hills, I spent so much money on consultations and different laser test spots on my birth mark. Some of the Doctors even advised me that laser wont work and the only way is to cease it out and I would be left with a big scar. I would leave crying knowing nothing will ever remove it. I came to AMA…and first test spot was such a success I noticed it made my birth mark a lot lighter. Point is, I finally finished my last session and its completely gone!! You guys don’t know how life changing it was for me! I am so thankful and blessed to have met Dr. Pien. I haven’t worn foundation since then!
In March, my lip lines had gotten out of control. When I looked in the mirror that’s all I saw, deep vertical lines between my upper lip and nose. The lines were deepest on my left side because that’s the side I sleep on the most.
After Dr. Pien did the treatment I was amazed at the instant results! Took a picture right after the treatment because the difference it made was incredible.
I’m way overdue for another visit. My acne is out of control, sun spots, wrinkles and oh yes, the dreaded lip lines are back. I’ll be scheduling another appointment soon.
I really like Dr. Pien and her staff. They are always very nice to me. Every time I’ve been there it’s been a great experience. I highly recommend AMA.This is the place to go if your looking for true skincare artistry, the Doctors are masterful and the nurse is awesome, the whole staff is top notch!
You will not regret you treatment and outcome!
I am so happy to have found this magical place!I had the SpectraLift and I’m so happy with the results so far. I HAD (past tense) loads of sun damage from years of running marathons with no sunscreen (woops) and my self esteem was taking a hit.
I researched lasers and treatments for 2 years before choosing AMA and am kind of an expert now. I chose them because they have every type of laser and could tailor my treatment for my skin and skin issues without being restricted to only one or two types of lasers. Plus Dr. Pien has so much experience I felt comfortable trusting her with my skin.
My whole experience was great. Dr Pien has a lovely bedside manner and she zapped the sun spots right off my face and chest. Looking forward to seeing my wrinkles fade as my new collagen builds (I’m only three weeks out today).
I will definitely be going back for another SpectraLift and would very highly recommend AMA for anyone with skin issues.
Thank you so so much AMA!!
I decided to purchase a series of SpectraLift Non Surgical Face Lifts and the morning of the first laser treatment I was terrified. I came very close to canceling the appointment. I asked to see Dr Pien before the procedure while I was waiting for the numbing cream to take effect. To my surprise she came right in and put me completely at ease. Never in my life had I met such a warm, caring doctor. She put me at ease immediately and talked me throughout the entire laser procedure while she was lasering my face.
It hurt way less than I thought and was very tolerable. My face was swollen and I looked horrible, but went everyday to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber in their office. Everyone was so nice, I felt like they were my family and I wished I could just move into their office. My face healed up and looked much better in a week and now I’m anxious to have the last two treatments. Do yourself a favor and have a free consultation with AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare in Irvine because it’s a waste of time to go anywhere else. The doctors and the staff here are the best. I will be a client for life.
This is the second review I have ever written and the reason why I felt the need to let people know that AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare is best in not only skin care but overall well being. You put your trust in someone to help or fix whatever skin problems you may have or just want to keep your skin radiant and young looking, and that is almost impossible to find these days.
I have been ripped off and lied to from other places time after time. If you want honest, knowledgable, caring, affordable, I could go on and on! I promise you, AMA is the only place I will ever go for my skin care and overall wellness. The BEST out there! They do more than just skin care!
Thanks for reading! You won’t be disappointed!I’ve been getting laser treatment from AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for a few years now, and I am an African American woman with a darker skin tone. It’s been a process for me but a very pleasant process.
I love Dr. Pien and the personalized service she gives me each time I’m at her office. The staff is amazing and it’s a wonderful atmosphere to receive treatment. If you have a dark skin tone no matter your ethnicity you don’t have to be afraid of laser treatments. Over the years the laser treatments I’ve received from AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare have not harmed my skin at all they have helped with correcting discoloration.
I definitely recommend AMA Skin Care to anyone looking to start the journey to greater confidence and healthier skin.
After a few visits at AMA Regenerative Medicine and Skincare, my skin is super radiant, smooth & soft. I’ve had two laser treatments on my face here… let me just say that yeah, they hurt a little… but no pain, no gain.
I’m in my early 40s now and I would be bold enough to say that I have 20 year old skin. Be prepared to peel up to five days after the procedure. And then make sure to protect that supple face from the sun.
My husband says my skin is so soft to the touch. My friends think my skin looks amazing. People who don’t know I’ve had laser just compliment that my skin looks so healthy. So, yes! I’m a believer in AMA and all its abilities. I’m confident I will be a lifelong client, as well. Thank you to the staff. They are not only competent, but very sweet & friendly. I almost feel like family when I come in for a visit.
I met with Dr. Asher before my wedding for a free consultation. I am always cautious about my skin because many physicians don’t understand the complexities of multiracial skin or hair. Not only did Dr. Asher take the time to explain the preferred laser treatments for me, he was able to decipher my ethnicity and allay my fears about the outcome.
I opted to wait until after the wedding to have the Spectralift Non Surgical Face Lift treatments because of the potential sun damage on our honeymoon. I have every confidence that I will look younger, more vibrant and have smooth, flawless skin! I can’t wait!
I went to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for a free consultation after seeing my friend’s results after only a few treatments and after reading all the reviews on Yelp. I am so happy that I did it was worth my drive from San Diego. I meet with Dr. Milgrom for about an hour where he educated me on the Spectralift Non Surgical Facelift. I was shocked that the doctor took the time to educate me (as opposed to his nurse) and didn’t charge me anything!
He answered all my million questions, introduced me to the latest and many laser technologies they have to offer combining medical and holistic wellness approach. I have had a few laser treatments so far and my skin is looking fantastic thank you to Dr. Pien. She is so nice and really takes her time and let me know what each laser is doing and what to expect to feel from each one. I am a control freak so I like to know what is going on! She has such a healing energy and gentle hands – pure magic.
I just finished receiving laser treatments here. I did the SpectraLift Non-Surgical Facelift and got a package with other services. The staff was fabulous. Well versed in the services they provide and caring about being sure all my questions were answered.
The results are outstanding. I had red in my skin that if I didn’t wear make-up people thought I was sunburned! Not anymore. I’m makeup free (accept for eye makeup ;-).
The price was very reasonable for the services performed and this is what they do. Laser. Lots of different laser. If you are considering any kind of laser treatment, why not check out a place that specializes in laser!!

So so so happy I went to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for my first ever laser treatment. Being my first time I was very nervous but the staff and Dr. Pien made me feel much more comfortable after talking me through the process and reassuring me during the treatment. After just one treatment I already see such a huge improvement in my skin. I will definitely be back. Yes it’s a bit of a drive from San Diego but it’s worth it!

I am delighted at the results of the 2 QDI treatments. This was a birthday gift to myself. Over the years I have had success there with botox and filler but I wanted really wanted was to look more rested, skin tighter and have a more even tone on my face. The idea of trying to add health from the inside out was very appealing. Dr. Pien is an amazingly talented person. Asher Milgrom was great in guiding and educating me while making my decision. I can not say enough about the entire staff. The care is wonderful and they make sure you are happy and comfortable. I have had two facials in the last few months by Michelle and she is just terrific and takes the time to help me figure the best skincare/regime for me. I am not one to spend on these types of treatments but find everything I have done there has been well worth the expenditure and reasonable when compared to all the other places and things I have tried in the past.
Thank you, AMA one and all!
Felt it was time to update my review and tell everyone, it IS as wonderful as ever. Dr. Pien, Tracy and all the staff are down to earth and as caring as ever. No matter what the treatment is Big or Small my experience is alway EXCELLENT!

I am 45 years old and after having grown up in Southern CA have been increasingly seeing the effects of sun damage and general skin aging (sun spots, thinning skin, loss of volume). I was referred to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare through a dear friend who had done a series of the SpectraLift Non-Surgical Facelift treatments with Dr. Pien. Her skin tone and texture were beautiful and she said it had not so been a few years back and that it was directly because of the laser treatments she had done with Dr. Pien.
My friend is very careful and thorough in researching doctors, procedures, etc. and invited me to join her on an appointment for her first ever facial filler. The office was inviting and spa-like, and the staff very professional. I loved Dr. Pien from the moment I met her, she took time to carefully answer all questions and explain everything in detail as she went along. Equally important to both my friend and I was that any procedure we do (laser or filler) is that the results look natural and don’t draw attention that something particular was “done” — simply that we look rested and fresh.
I have now been a patient of Dr. Pien’s for 3 years and absolutely LOVE her, her staff and Dr. Asher. I trust them and have done both the laser series and facial filler. The results are natural and my skin looks fresh and vibrant! I was in to see her just last week and 2 days later was complimented while in line at a restaurant by a twenty-something gal who told me (without my having any make-up on) what great skin I have!
I have even brought my teenage son in for acne treatments, as I trust them with his care. His skin has markedly improved. I really cannot say enough about AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare and the wonderful care they provide.
I am thrilled to have found Dr. Pien and I highly recommend!

AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare is the best laser results I have ever experienced.
I had very sun damaged skin. Blotchy, broken capillaries. I have tried photo-facials, IPL, Genesis and micro-dermabrasion and only the SpectraLift Non-Surgical Facelift evened out my skin tone, reduced my pore size, removed all the broken capillaries, sun spots and over-all improved my skin greatly.
I am 52 years old and look much younger due to Dr. Pien @ AMA. All the staff are exceptional, caring, informative and the facials are also the best I have ever had.
I have sent my friends there and they are equally pleased. I cannot recommend AMA enough. It is the best my skin has looked in many years.

I have known these highly professional and classy practitioners since 2006. They are the real deal with laser in terms of finally getting rid of sun spots, uneven skin tone and overall care of your skin. They have the CP8 (SpectraLift Non-Surgical Facelift ) laser which is rare for any dermatologist to have. After having spent literally thousands elsewhere, the only place to go is AMA.
The staff is fantastic – Tricia, Tracie, Michelle, Dr. Pien and Dr. Milgrom. I always feel like I accomplished something really big as people notice my skin and I have actually been stopped on the street as well as in line in markets to ask why my skin looks so great…..and I am 50 so that feels fantastico!
Look no further…these people are the total real deal …they also have hyperbaric oxygen, botox, juvederm and all the other goodies if you just want to go that route. Conveniently located and down to earth…you will love Dr. Alice Pien when you meet her….she is just so special as a person and a doc.
Thanks and I am so glad you guys are in my life!

If I could point to one single thing that has helped my appearance, made me feel confident about my skin, and generated the kind of results and compliments that you normally only see on commercials, in magazines or in the really, really hopeful part of the back of your mind, it’s the laser treatments I’ve received at American Medical Aesthetics.
The staff is so well-trained and are such experts, that you feel comfortable putting yourself in their hands immediately; they take the “scary” out of lasers because they explain everything in such great detail that you feel you could almost do the treatment on yourself. The value of the services FAR exceeds the cost. And the results? They’re truly astounding. I know that it sounds ridiculous to say that getting a treatment for my skin was a life-changing thing, but that’s what it was. I look in the mirror and don’t see any of the things that once were an issue.
I’ve had a series of their SpectraLift Non-Surgical Facelift treatments, and now I hardly have to wear makeup, look ten years younger, and get carded when I walk into bars.
I can’t say enough good things about them. Please go!

I used to have discolored skin on my face with some areas lighter than others. I always covered it up with makeup but because of constant use of makeup, my skin started to age early. Bumps, large pores, fine lines, and a rougher surface..to name a few.
Going in to receive a laser treatment on my face was a tough decision to make.
1. I have never had one before;
2. You have no idea what to expect, and
3: You never know who you will have the privilege of having your skin treated by… but I figured: I either sit and watch my skin get old, or I take all my chances and go in, hoping for the best.
Well, it’s been about a year since then, and my skin looks phenomenal!!! I couldn’t believe my own eyes after the laser, and I kid you not – you literally DO NOT have to wear makeup whatsoever after these SpectraLift Non-Surgical Facelift treatments. My skin looks porcelain clear and extremely soft, and has absolutely no blemishes…I no longer wear makeup, and in modern world men happen to admire that about women…
I can’t stop bragging about how fantastic Dr. Pien is and can’t thank her and the entire staff enough for changing my life!!!
Our multiple-modality approach is what makes us capable of delivering the results our patients are seeking. It’s all about our delicate, gradual and above all artful remodeling of the stretch mark to blend with the rest of the skin that makes us stand out among stretch mark removal clinics.
Stretch marks are all very different and complicated to treat. That’s why we customize each individual laser stretch mark removal treatment to each patient’s specific needs.This place is amazing and a one in a million find. When I first walked through the door I was taken aback by the beauty of their office. So much so that I had to take photos to share.
I first came in about 6 months ago to have a consultation for stretch marks that have been bothering for a few years now. The consultation with Dr. Milgrom was extremely informative. He was able to tell me exactly how to get rid of stretch marks. He spent an hour with me answering the many questions I had and explaining how the lasers interact with my skin. I felt very comfortable with everything and booked my first stretch mark removal treatment that day. What I really liked is that they charge per treatment. That way I can spread the cost out over time and only pay for what my body needs.
Prior to the stretch mark removal treatments they apply numbing cream and have you relax in a room they call the sanctuary. The atmosphere and massage chairs are amazing and really helped to rid me of any anxiety I had being this was my first experience with lasers.
The stretch mark removal treatment was way more comfortable than what I was expecting. The numbing cream works like a charm! Dr Pien performed the procedure. She makes you feel so comfortable and talks you through everything that is happening.
So far I’ve had 4 stretch mark removal treatments and I am extremely happy with the results. My stretch marks are barely visible. What amazed me the most was how smooth my skin feels now. Im considering having another treatment to further the healing of my stretch marks but at this point I think I’ll wait and see how the healing progresses over the next few months. The doctors explained to me that my skin will continue to remodel and heal itself for months after the treatment.
The only thing that concerned me at first is that my stretch marks got darker after the first couple of treatments. The doctors explained to me that this is normal as my body is is directing all its resources to the area in order to heal it. They weren’t kidding. I stuck with it and am so happy that I did! Dr Pien worked her magic and my stretch marks are practically gone!After years of searching reviews on stretch mark removal, watching different videos of procedures, and contemplating if it was a procedure I was willing to undergo, I FINALLY found the PERFECT place.
When I made my first call to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare, I spoke with one of the lovely receptionists who was very informative and understanding of my condition. She scheduled my initial appointment with DR. Milgrom ASAP and I was seen 2 weeks later. Upon arriving at the office in Santa Monica, I was welcomed into a serene and tranquil setting with a friendly and inviting office staff who were truly caring and professional. I relaxed in an amazing massage chair and was offered a refreshment until Dr. Milgrom came in to speak with me about the stretch mark removal procedure.
When the Dr. came in, he was very personable; took the time to draw me a diagram of how stretch mark removal typically works and the type of lasers AMA had available. After I spoke with Dr. Milgrom, I met with Dr. Pien. The entire staff is incredibly sweet and Its the first time I can say I actually LOVE making a trip to the Dr’s office. I’ve only been to two laser treatments and one Collagen Induction Therapy, and have already noticed results! My stretch marks are incredibly lighter, and a lot less noticeable. Before when I would look in the mirror, my eyes would focus straight to my thighs, sides, and chest where I am receiving laser treatments. Now when I look in the mirror, I can barely see them. I can still notice them when I look straight at my skin, but am still expecting three more stretch mark removal treatments, although I don’t know I will need all five ;).
I agree with Lynette’s reviews regarding the caring staff and rewarding experience of AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. The only inconvenience I have is that I live in Bakersfield, and the trip takes 2 to 3 hours depending on traffic. BUT TOTALLY WORTH THE DRIVE. The prices are comparative considering other offices that charge by the laser and not by the time. DR. Pien has a steady and experienced hand, and I appreciate all of the Staff’s help in wanting to truly make me feel beautiful and more confident, inside and out.
THANK YOU EVERYONE AT AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare!
First of all just want to say that Dr. Pien is amazing! I have been a patient at AMA for a little over 2 years and have gotten amazing results. I live in AZ. and fly out to CA. because I’ve tried many different places in AZ. and have not had any success.
I’ve been getting treatments on my face for dark spots and melasma, and also for stretch marks on my stomach and lower back. I’m disappointed that I waited so long to get the stretch mark treatment done because I hated the way they looked and just assumed I would have to live with them.
The end results are better than I’d hoped for, my skin is clear and my stretch marks are virtually invisible, I would highly recommend this place! The results speak for themselves. Thanks AMA for your superior service!!
I have been battling with stretch marks for almost 6 years. My stretch marks are located on the back of my calves. I have been using the palmers cocoa butter and some other products. I have visited Epione 6 times. I have paid 1,400.00 for each stretch mark removal treatment. You do the math. I honestly said, ” I’m just going to fall in love with my stretch marks” I am never going to see another doctor.
I’ll never forget this day, I was on my computer and came across AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. I started to read about Dr. Pien and her theory of treating the stretch marks. She sounded like she knew what she was talking about. I wanted to meet her and tell her my experience. I wanted to ask her if she could give me hope or should I just fall in love with my stretch marks. Dr. Pien without any hesitation said, “she could help me” but, I had to follow her stretch mark treatment guidelines before and after treatment. I was so excited to hear that and at the same time I said, but, “I heard this line before”. Guess what !! I trusted her word went in twice to her Beverly Hills location.
I see major dramatic changes into the size of the stretch marks and the appearance of the stretch marks. AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare IS THE TRUTH. I highly recommend this place. AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare continues to be at the top of the list of best skin care offices in the state of California at least in my opinion.
P.S. The staff is so nice and caring. Thank you Dr. PIEN, Lanna and Kerri. Also AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare’s prices are very reasonable.

I’ve had stretch marks ever since puberty and they are really embarrassing specially because they’re on my arms and lower back. I couldn’t wear sleeve less tops or dress coz i have to hide them. I’ve wasted so much time and money on soo many different creams that even work at all. Its sad that i didn’t find this place right away. My treatment consisted of 3 laser and collagen induction therapy (CIT) in between and i have to say that after just the first laser and CIT microneedling treatment i already saw dramatic results!! My stretch marks faded so much that Dr Pien already had a hard time seeing them on my second stretch mark removal treatment!
The whole staff is very accommodating and very nice. They are all knowledgable in what they do. Dr Milgrom and Dr Pien really take time to explain the whole stretch mark procedure and answer any questions. They all really pamper u and will make u feel comfortable from the time u walk in.
Their services are very effective because they have a whole lot of different lasers (unlike other places, and yes ive done my research) because as Dr Milgrom explained, there are specific lasers that ur skin needs depending on its condition. They’re also the only place i found that combine Laser and Collagen Induction therapy. Their prices are very competitive and well worth it.
I am very happy i found this place and would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Dr. Milgrom and his staff are extremely knowledgeable about their procedures and are able to offer a variety of options to customize the experience.
After giving birth to my second child I had several stretch marks across my abdomen and sides. After the first laser stretch mark treatment I was able to see results. I have had a total of 3 treatments and my stretch marks are practically non-existent. My husband has to look extremely close to see anything. I would strongly recommend this laser treatment to any mother out there who desires to regain her pre-pregnant body.
I cannot recommend AMA highly enough. I was desperate to find a way to improve the appearance of my cosmetic surgery scar. I had been through surgery twice – the first plastic surgeon didn’t do a good job, the second was a gem. I have medium-dark skin, so while the scar itself is flat pigmentation around the incision made the scar look worse than it should.
I had tried everything, nothing worked. Until AMA. Drs Milgrom and Pien are truly experts! My scar improved dramatically after just one treatment. I was shocked. Especially since lasers can be trickier with darker skin.
The doctors are so good with their patients. They explained the treatment protocol, answered my questions, and made me feel comfortable throughout. They work with a wide variety of lasers so you’ll get a solution customized for you. Their staff is very kind and professional.
I happily fly in from the East Coast specifically to visit AMA. Just finished a treatment on my face and I know I will be back soon for something else!
Honestly my LIFE SAVERS!!! I first came to Dr. Pien with burns on my face from another “Dermatologist”. They had scared in the most horrific way ON MY FACE. I couldnt even hide them with professional make up.
I was devastated and desperate until my very first consultation. Not only were they empathetic and very welcoming but when I left I was very hopeful that I was in good hands.
It has been 1 yr of visits to AMA and in that yr I got engaged and Married this March. I felt confident taking wedding pictures and most of all walking down isle!! Thank you for helping me feel amazing inside and out again.
My review is for Dr. Pien at the LA office on San Vicente. I have now had my 2nd laser treatment for the removal of several scars on my face that have been there since I was a child. In addition to the scar removal, Dr. Pien also gave me a peel using the lasers.
First off, the customer service here is absolutely amazing!! All of the staff are so nice and informative and they always do a nice follow up call after the laser procedures. I have tried many other places and have done many peels, Vi Peel, and other laser treatments. Dr. Pien and her clinic is by far the best place I have been to for laser treatment, hands down. Her knowledge of lasers and holistic medicine is mind blowing and you can tell that she genuinely wants to help you and is not there just to sell you something or offer you a service that you don’t need.
I’ve been coming to AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare for many years now for various laser treatments and have been very happy. I initially came to AMA for a bad burn scar on my cheek. I had a severe chemical burn on my cheek that was on its way to forming a bad scar. I was desperately seeking for help and tried a dermatology office nearby in Newport Beach, but the Dr. was way too aggressive and made the burn worse. I became depress and thought I had to live with a big scar on my face forever, but after extensive research, I found AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare. I am forever so thankful to Dr. Pien for turning my skin back to normal!
AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare is an amazing place with cutting edge technology. They provide comprehensive integrative laser scar removal treatments that are personalized to each individual. Dr. Pien and Dr. Milgrom are both very knowledgable, personable, and genuinely caring. Their staff is professional and friendly. The facility is clean, artfully decorated in a tranquil setting.
I am so happy with AMA. I have referred many of my clients and friends, including my mother. I highly recommend AMA!
Let me start off by saying THANK YOU DR. ALICE PIEN!
I stopped into her office about 2 years ago with a huge scar left over on my abdomen from surgery. I was in tears and very uncomfortable in my skin. I was very self conscious and thought there was no way it would improve. My scar was very uneven in texture and hyper-pigmented.
I met with Dr. Pien, desperate for help. She explained to me her plan of action in both lightening the scar and smoothing out the texture. She explained each laser and what their function was; which really put my mind at ease. I trusted her 100% I am so appreciative that I have met such a compassionate doctor who is a master of her craft. She did not promise me the moon and the stars; she was honest about what I could expect and confident in her work. Trusting her was the best decision I could have made.
My scar is 100% flat and the color has improved tremendously. I’m now a patient of her’s years later and very thankful!!I have been a patient of AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare since 2013. I found AMA in desperation after undergoing a laser procedure from a dermatologist that went horribly wrong and left me scarred underneath both of my eyes. After my initial meeting with Dr. Milgrom I felt confident and relieved that they could help with my healing process. After several appointments with Dr. Pien I am happy to report that she was able to work her magic and my scars can hardly be seen.
Dr. Pien is so sweet and gentle and I will forever be grateful for all she did. I will only trust her with any type of laser procedure and I have even sent my mom to have laser work done. My mom’s skin looks amazing and she is complimented often on her glow! My mom and I will continue to place our trust in the hands of Dr. Milgrom, Dr. Pien and Laila at AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare!!
My experience at AMA has been amazing.
I have to clarify that I am speaking about laser scar removal treatment because this is tricky and requires multiple treatments.
We are used to 1 hour photo, 15 minute prescription service, and have lost sight of the need for patience. Our skin needs to heal at a certain pace.
This takes several treatments, no matter where you go, and anybody who tries to tell you sooner, just go get a free second or third consultation.
I am VERY picky. I rarely find that I am satisfied with a service.
I usually always have to go back and get it redone!
However, the team at AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare is professional and knowledgeable.
They have a philosophy that is unique.
They encourage the body/skin to regenerate with the assistance of lasers and other devices, rather than viewing the treatment itself as the defining factor.
Before choosing AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare, I had done a lot of research and received many price quotes from leading surgeons/dermatologists who seemed baffled at my scars and told me there wasn’t much that they could do for me.
I was so disappointed, and desperate to improve my scars, that even after years of multiple surgeons and dermatologists telling me that there was little to nothing that they could do for me, I kept researching and getting different opinions.
So when I had my first consultation with AMA Regenerative Medicine & Skincare and they said “oh, those scars are easy to treat”, I thought that they were just saying what I wanted to hear, but I was so desperate for improvement that I gave it a try. I guess I decided to try it because they came up with such a detailed plan that included so many different lasers and other devices that I was curious. All of the other places I have been to took one look at my scars and groaned when they saw them!
I had horrible lacerations/scars on my arms and they have improved and I’m only at the start of my laser scar removal regimen.
Their prices are good as compared to many other places.
They have many lasers and other devices at their arsenal, plus, the lasers that they do have are the latest generation, so you are getting the best treatment currently possible. You have to do your research because those machines are really expensive and a lot of doctors will buy a machine and just keep it, long after there are newer, better lasers on the market.
Dr. Milgrom prescribed 8-10 treatment sessions and I’m ok with that, because I’ve already seen the evidence of improvement.
Im getting closer and closer to feeling comfortable enough to wear summer clothing.
I haven’t worn short sleeves in 17 years.
Even in the middle of summer when it’s boiling hot, or if I’m at the beach I wear long sleeves and look like a total psycho and it’s so hot and uncomfortable.
I just want to be able to look and feel normal and comfortable without this problem always ruining it.
I feel really excited to see how much better the scars will get because they are going from really white and really jagged, to getting closer to my normal skin tone and texture.
I couldn’t do anything until now because the texture was so bad, makeup actually made it more obvious.
I tried applying some makeup on the scars the other night and it looked pretty good. Enough to go to dinner and wear something that I actually like. That is a milestone after having worn long sleeves for almost two decades.
AMA customizes everything to your individual skin type and condition. They continue to change and adapt the treatment to the way that your skin reacts and heals.
Other places just seem to have a cookie-cutter mentality and use the standard treatments for everyone and when those methods fail, you are told that’s the best that your ailment is going to get.
AMA takes accountability and will use different things to get results.
They really try and put in a lot of effort.
The staff are amazing and very professional. They bend over backwards to help you, and if they can not answer your question clearly, they will make a note and ask the doctor, and call you back with a clear answer.
The skin is a living organism, capable of regenerating/healing itself and AMA is the first facility to treat me as such.
You will be treated differently then anywhere else and get a customized plan that gets results.
