Upgrade Your Facial Experience at AMA

Posted on March 22, 2023April 5, 2023 by Mcfarland-ClientWP

Introducing our new facial machine, Diamond Glow!

What is Diamond Glow?

The Diamond Glow facial machine is an amazing skincare treatment that uses a diamond tip wand to exfoliate and extract impurities from the skin, while simultaneously infusing it with nourishing serums. It is a non-invasive, customizable treatment that can address a variety of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne and hyperpigmentation.

How it works

During a Diamond Glow facial, our aesthetician will use a specialized wand that has a diamond tip and suction power to gently exfoliate the top layer of the skin. This process removes dead skin cells and debris from the pores, allowing for a deep cleanse of the skin. At the same time, the wand delivers customized serums into the skin, allowing for deep penetration of the active ingredients. The suction also promotes lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and inflammation in the skin.

Benefits of Diamond Glow

One of the main benefits of Diamond Glow facial machine is its ability to address a wide range of skin concerns. The treatment can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, and uneven skin texture. It can also improve skin hydration and firmness, leaving the skin looking and feeling smoother and more youthful.

Another benefit of Diamond Glow facial is that it is a non-invasive treatment with no downtime. Unlike some other facial treatments, there is no need for recovery time after the treatment, allowing patients to return to their daily routine immediately with glowing, beautiful skin.

Who is a candidate for Diamond Glow?

Diamond Glow facial machine is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. We will always let you know if you are not a good candidate prior to the treatment.

Are there side effects?

Introducing Our New Service: IV Therapy Treatment

Posted on January 24, 2023February 9, 2023 by Mcfarland-ClientWP

We thought we’d make it easy for you to get the nutrients and vitamins that your body needs – quickly and effectively. We now introduce to you our new service, IV Therapy!

What does it do?

Every day, your body requires a certain intake of vitamins and nutrients to maintain a normal function. While the exact levels vary from person to person, the demands of daily life can make it difficult to ingest adequate amounts of these essential vitamins. Even when using multivitamins, your body does not absorb all of the nutrients due to the metabolic process. That’s where IV Therapy Treatment comes in.

How does it work?

IV Therapy delivers what you need directly to your body because it bypasses the digestive systems. We give you an IV which goes directly into your bloodstream, making nutrients available for immediate use.

The best part of getting and IV, is that vitamins are delivered directly to the cells that need them. Easy for us, and even easier for you!

What are the benefits?

IV Therapy at Ashley McFarland Aesthetics improves overall wellness by providing vitamins and nutrients that your body needs to:

Improve immune health
Boost energy levels
Improve mental clarity and cognitive function
Reduce symptoms of illness
Improve hair, skin and nails
Combat fatigue
… and so much more

IV Therapy is a convenient, efficient way to give your body the support it needs to keep you feeling your best year-round.

What types of IV Therapy do you offer?

Ask AMA: What is Microneedling & PRP

Posted on January 20, 2023June 20, 2023 by Mcfarland-ClientWP

Looking to easily fix your dull skin?

If you want to start a new chapter in your skin health journey, this is the perfect place to start. Here is what you need to know about this procedure.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device with tiny, shallow needles that create hundreds of invisible and controlled puncture wounds on the top layer of the skin. If it sounds painful and aggressive – it is not because you will be numbed before the procedure starts!

These micro-wounds trigger the body to produce new collagen, elastin, and capillaries, plumping the skin and breaking up scar tissue. Which will then target fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, sagging skin and scarring.

The more procedures you get done, the more improvement you’ll see in your skin texture, firmness, and the level of hydration in your skin.

What can I expect during treatment?

If you give us an hour of your time, we can make magic happen with this Microneedling tool.

Step 1: One of our skin providers will prep your skin by cleansing and numbing your face.
Step 2: They will then apply a serum to make sure the skin is hydrated and protected.
Step 3: Then the microneedling will begin!
Step 4: The provider will protect your skin with post-procedure cream and an SPF.

How does it feel?

The best part about this procedure, is that you are completely numb from Step 1. This makes it easier for our providers to go deeper into the skin without you feeling the needles that are working their magic.

Your skin will turn red and may even bleed a bit, which is completely normal. You’ve got to remember that this procedure is creating those controlled puncture wounds on the top layer of the skin. Without it doing that, then your skin wouldn’t be able to produce bring up all that new and fresh collagen.

What will my recovery be like?

The day of treatment: Once you are done with treatment, your skin will most likely be red for the remainder of the day. Anytime your skin is healing like this, you’ll want to avoid heat and sweat on your face. Meaning, no exercise, hot tubs, and saunas for 24 hours.

24 hours after treatment: Your skin may feel a little tight! However, the redness will have faded. One of the things you want to understand is that the mico-wounds heal very quickly. It’s like how a paper cut heals within a day or two. Feel free to apply makeup 24 hours after your treatment.

48 hours after treatment: You may experience dryness, scaling, redness and swelling 2 days after treatment, but that is completely normal and should go away within the next few days. If your skin is peeling, use a mild exfoliant to remove the dead skin from your face.

After every procedure, make sure to keep skin hydrated and to always wear SPF. Your skin is especially attracted to the sun after a procedure like this, so make sure to protect it! Also be sure to avoid retinols and brightening ingredients while your skin continues to heal.

When will I see the results?

Get ready to watch your skin turn from dull to glowing, from dull to smooth, and from dry to hydrating.

If your skin is especially stubborn, it may take multiple treatments to get your skin to where it needs to be – but that is something that one of our providers will plan with you.

What is PRP and how do people use this with Microneedling?

If you haven’t heard about PRP yet, then you are about to get really excited about what this “liquid gold” can do to your skin.

Platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP, is a great addition to microneedling treatments because it makes your skin transform in ways by the help of your own skin.

PRP is taken from your very own blood. People often think it’s red because it’s coming from your blood, but we separate the blood and the PRP comes to life as a golden color, which is why we call it “liquid gold”. We call it this because of its extraordinary rejuvenating properties in healing the skin faster and repairing it quicker.

How does PRP work?

Step 1: We draw your blood in the office and then separate it in a centrifuge. It takes a few minutes to get it completely separated.

Step 2: The PRP is then applied to your face after the numbing cream and can also be injected beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate new collagen production and to promote healing. If you have deeper lines and creases in your face, then this is the perfect combination for you.

All of our providers think this is a great procedure if you’re interested in starting your skin health journey. Give us a call today to get scheduled! 615-663-0072

What is Fraxel?

Posted on September 20, 2022February 28, 2023 by Mcfarland-ClientWP

It is that time of year we have all been waiting for! Cool weather, sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes and FRAXEL!

Fall and winter are the absolute best seasons to remove unwanted pigment and sun damage from our skin. If you have overindulged in the summer sun, fear not. We have your solution. Fraxel!

What is Fraxel? Fraxel is a brand of laser that delivers fractional skin resurfacing. Fraxel Dual in particular, features two wavelengths of 1927 and 1550 to treat sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles and acne scars. It can completely change the overall tone and texture of a person’s skin. Fraxel delivers tiny dots of laser, only treating a fraction of the skin, leaving healthy skin in between the treated areas, which speeds healing and minimizes downtime. It is the “Gold Standard” in laser skin resurfacing. Compared to other more invasive treatments, the downtime for Fraxel is way more desirable considering the dramatic results it can deliver. Patients receiving Fraxel are back to a normal routine within a week.

Things you should know before you schedule your Fraxel…

A consultation is always recommended before scheduling any laser treatment. Not everyone is a suitable candidate for laser treatments.
Avoid direct sun exposure for at least one month prior to (and after) your treatment
Let our office know if you are prone to getting cold sores. You will need to prep with a prescription of an antiviral to prevent an outbreak in the treated area.
You will need to discontinue use of all exfoliating products (retinols, glycolics, salicylic) 10 days prior to treatment.
Some patients prone to hyperpigmentation will need to prep with a product containing hydroquinone or another brightening agent to suppress their melanin (pigment) for a few weeks prior to treatment and post treatment.

What to expect the day of a Fraxel Treatment…

Your provider will cleanse your skin and take before pictures.
Numbing cream will be applied for approximately one hour prior to treatment
Our office offers the option to add nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to any Fraxel treatment for an additional charge. This is a favorite, especially for those who tend to get a little anxious with treatments! It gives a more carefree experience, and it wears off in minutes, making it completely safe to drive home afterwards. We recommend eating some food prior to nitrous use.
Fraxel in our office always includes PRP (platelet rich plasma). PRP is such a fantastic way to increase your results! In case you are new to PRP, it is simple. Your blood will be drawn during the numbing process and spun down to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. Plasma contains platelets which contain growth factors. These growth factors will help to stimulate your own collagen and help healthy cells reproduce. The result is thicker, more elastic skin! Applying PRP after Fraxel will help calm skin quicker and speed up the healing process. Basically, a no brainer! One of our experienced injectors can also inject the PRP underneath the skin. Injecting it under the eyes for example can improve crepiness and hollowness. It is also a wonderful way to improve “smoker lines” around the mouth.
A post care kit will be sent home after the first treatment and your provider will go over all post care with you.
Immediately after treatment, the skin will feel sunburned and will be intense for about 3 hours. After 3 hours, intensity subsides greatly and will be very tolerable.
Swelling is expected post Fraxel. In fact, the swelling is what creates the collagen we all want and need.

After Fraxel….

Downtime with Fraxel varies from patient to patient, depending on treatment parameters and settings. The deeper the treatment, the more swelling expected. Usually by day 3, the skin will feel rough and have a sandpaper like texture. These are all microscopic scabs that will appear dark and eventually slough away, leaving fresh new skin. Gentle products only for the week following, and a good physical sunscreen are important. Avoid sweating for approximately 72 hours and make sure to wear a hat when outdoors. You are generating new baby skin and it is VERY susceptible to sun damage.

A series of 3 is always a good rule of thumb when planning Fraxel. Spacing the treatments 4 to 6 weeks apart will maximize outcome. Results will last longer with a proper at home regimen, including a retinol, sunscreen, and antioxidants. Your aesthetician will be happy to recommend some great products to get the most from your Fraxel.

ASK AMA: How does Coolsculpting work?

Posted on August 6, 2022March 14, 2023 by titan-am

Our provider, Kristi, in our Coolsculpting room.

What is Coolsculpting Elite?

Coolsculpting ELITE is the newest, most advanced noninvasive fat freezing treatment on the market.

Traditional Coolsculpting is noninvasive fat reduction treatment done via freezing. Many fat reduction procedures require lasers or surgery, which can damage the surrounding healthy tissue, causing deep bruising or bleeding. CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical technique that uses cold temperatures to freeze stubborn fat cells. This procedure was created to address certain areas of stubborn fat not responsive to diet and exercise.

Coolsculpting Elite vs. Traditional Coolsculpting

The Coolsculpting Elite is Allergan’s most advanced noninvasive fat reduction technology and the one and only treatment FDA-cleared to eliminate fat in 9 different areas of the body. The new system features reimagined applicators that are shaped to better fit your natural curves. It’s applicators have up to an 18% larger cooling area than the previous generation of applicators. And 2 applicators can be used at a time on your treatment area to freeze twice the fat – saving you time.

1. Coolsculpting Elite is the Most Advanced Non-Invasive Body Contouring Technology

New Coolsculpting Elite is the most advanced Coolscultping technology available yet to help you reduce stubborn fat and reach your body contouring goals.

2. Larger Dual Applicators

With the new Coolsculpting Elite we can use to applicators on your treatment area to freeze twice the amount of fat at the same time as compared to 1 applicator with traditional Coolsculpting. The new applicators also feature up to an 18% larger cooling area than the previous generation of Coolsculpting applicators. Coolsculpting Elite treats more stubborn fat in the same amount of time and it requires little to no downtime so you can get back to your busy day.

3. 9 Treatment Areas

Coolscultping Elite is the one and only treatment FDA-cleared to eliminate fat in 9 different areas of the body – more than any other nonsurgical fat reduction technology. The 9 approved treatment areas include: Under the chin, below the jawline, side (flank), abdomen, thigh, bra fat, upper arm, back fat, and underneath the buttocks (banana roll).

Want even more great info on our services and products (plus some funny videos?) Check us out on Instagram!

Is Coolscultping Elite Worth it?

The average cost of a Coolsculpting Elite treatment plan ranges from $3,000 to $4,000 but can vary widely depending on your individual needs. Every body type is unique and so is every budget and body contouring goal. This is why we create a personalized Treatment Plan just for you!

Considering that this is a permanent procedure and has zero downtime, we think the investment is more than worth it!

When is the best time to start CoolSculpting?

In the winter months is when it’s PRIME CoolSculpting season, because it takes some time to see results. 90 days after your 2nd treatment, you will see your full results. Almost everyone needs 2 treatments for optimal results. Even if it’s summer time, you’ll be able to say good-bye to the stubborn pockets of fat that you’ve been carrying around. Any time is a good time, but the sooner you get it done – the sooner you’ll see results!
