A web search of the word, “mjolnir” provides a disturbingly long and detailed explanation of a very powerful weapon belonging to a superhero from a comic book. It’s Thor’s hammer. Even if you didn’t grow up in a superhero obsessed household, you probably know Thor’s hammer is kind of a big deal. It’s described as “emitting mystical blasts of energy; controlling electromagnetism and molecular manipulation….” among many (many, yawn, many) powerful capabilities. 

Good gosh what is our point? Well, it’s an apt name for a new plasma fibroblasting device that is now in use at Amanda Rose Esthetics! A multi-purpose, fantastically powerful weapon that can tackle our most distressing skin problems, possibly even obliterating them? Now we’re talking.  Much like the already popular Plasma Pen, Mjolnir’s super abilities can improve the following:

Scars: acne scars, surgical scars, burn scars, trauma scars.
Wrinkles: crow’s feet, smile lines, forehead creases, drooping, sagging, low elasticity.
Texture: rough skin, large pores, greasy skin, acne, sallow skin, uneven pigment and tone. 

How is it different from the Plasma Pen? Mjolnir’s hand piece is a larger surface, with multiple dots, allowing for larger treatment area, more consistency and greater accuracy, all with less trauma to the skin. 

So if Norse mythology depicts Mjolnir (Thor’s hammer) as one of the most fearsome and powerful weapons in existence, then Amanda Rose Esthetics is armed and ready to bring that kind of power to the fight against aging skin. 

Call Amanda Rose Esthetics and get blasted!​​

 

Still searching for the perfect holiday gift?  Amanda Rose Esthetics has just the thing. Whether you’re looking for a gift certificate for treatments, or high quality, fresh out of the laboratory skincare products, a visit to Amanda Rose Esthetics will have you checking the box by every name on your list. This seems like the perfect time for a product spotlight….

Amanda Rose Esthetics introduces two promising new skincare lines. The first to arrive, SoME™ by Aesthetics Biomedical.

Aesthetics Biomedical Inc. has launched a personalized topical product line for take-home use. SoME™ is a skin rejuvenating product that uses a proprietary blend of ingredients combined with your own Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), by Amanda, to give you a truly personalized cosmetic experience. SoME™ is great for all skin types and doesn’t contain any of the harsh and unnatural alcohols that typical skin care products use that are known to dehydrate and dry out the skin. SoME™ uses a botanical preservative package, two honeysuckle variants (Lonicera Japonica, Lonicera Caprifolium), to keep SoME™ from degrading and keep it fresh for your everyday use.

SoME™ is a revolutionary topical skincare product that:

• reduces puffiness and darkness around the eyes.
• enhances skin tone and texture.
• mitigates sun damage, and restores collagen and elastin.

SoME™ by Aesthetics Biomedical is an all-natural serum that combines proprietary skincare ingredients with your own PRP (platelet-rich plasma). Embrace your glowing skin with SoME™.

Next, let’s talk NEOCUTIS!

Over 15 years ago, NEOCUTIS was founded on the basis of extensive wound healing research performed in Lausanne, Switzerland. When their first wound healing technology was found to scarlessly heal burned skin, while making it appear healthier and more youthful, NEOCUTIS scientists began to explore how to apply the same principles to improve the appearance of aging skin. Unlike young skin, which heals quickly and easily, older skin acts more like wounded skin.

NEOCUTIS began developing products that support natural healing by stimulating the processes that regenerate and restore the key building blocks of skin structure—namely, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

NEOCUTIS products can address a long list of skincare concerns (dryness, uneven texture, sagging, dark spots, just to name a few), enhancing the results of professional treatments, and maintaining optimal skin health. 

So there you go! Stuff their stocking or YOURS with a little assistance from Amanda Rose Esthetics! 

 

 

This should be at the top of your holiday wish list. Forget slippers and jewelry. TempSure® Firm will warm you up and make you feel dazzling! 

What is TempSure® Firm? Cynosure’s latest cellulite treatment technology uses a combination of radiofrequency heat along with a specialized massage head to:

• reduce the appearance of cellulite.
• smooth and tighten skin.
• reduce crepiness.
• improve scarring and stretch marks.

Common treatment areas include abdomen, buttocks and thighs.

How does it work? The combination of radiofrequency heating and a specialized massage head work together, temporarily reducing the appearance of cellulite and improve texture of the skin. 

How many treatments are needed? This varies per individual and treatment area. Generally, results can be achieved in 5 – 8 sessions.

How long does one treatment take? Treatments are quick and can take as little as five minutes for a full abdomen and ten minutes for both thighs.

Does it hurt? Patients experience a pleasant warming and gentle massaging sensation. You’ll wish it were much longer than 10 minutes!

Downtime? You may return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. No downtime. Maybe just plan for a little nap in the car before you leave the parking lot because you’ll be soooo relaaaaxed.

When can results be seen? Improvements may be visible a few weeks to a month after your last treatment. Skin will appear smoother and more youthful and evenly textured.

The images below show impressive results, after only a few treatments.

A few posts ago we discussed the multiple benefits of skinade, an anti-aging collagen drink aimed to increase the body’s natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Skinade users have reported significant, tangible results after less than 30 days of use. The skinade team of scientists and medical professionals has since developed skinade Targeted Solutions®, a professional grade range of products designed to provide targeted solutions to specific concerns.

The skinade Targeted Solutions® currently available are:

• Cellulite
• Clear
• Derma Defense A&D

Let’s start with cellulite (sigh). Some people have it, some people don’t.  The reason seems a mystery. Other than the blanket “good genes”, you’ve probably never heard a reasonable explanation for it. Yet, it’s kept bazillions of people from swimsuit shopping or daring to look at their behind on the way in or out of the shower. 

It seems like a bold claim, but skinade is offering a solution.

The claim: Targeted Solutions® Cellulite works from the inside to address; oxidative damage, hormonal changes, stress, water retention, poor detoxification and is designed to improve circulation, metabolism and skin elasticity, essential to reducing the appearance of cellulite. 

Ok but, does it really do that? Apparently, there’s a very good chance it does, based on the clinical research performed by the skinade team.

The benefits:

 Let’s face it though, if your goal is cellulite reduction, you stopped reading this science-y chart after, “significant result – 100% of women…”.

On to skinade Targeted Solutions® Clear, an internal skin care product that delivers its functional ingredients in two steps. A drinkable highly absorbable liquid sachet and slow delivery capsule. This two-step delivery mechanism ensures optimal efficacy. As the product works form the inside, it supports the skin over all acne prone areas (face, back, chest and neck).

The claim: skinade Targeted Solutions® Clear works from the inside out to regulate hormonal imbalances, reduce inflammation, regulate excess oil production, detoxify the dermal layers of the skin and boost the immune system. A poor immune system is a key issue in breakout prone skin. Increasing skin elasticity and hydration is also key to prevent dry and cracking skin (a key cause of the spread of bacteria). 

The benefits: After completing a course of skinade Targeted Solutions® Clear, consumers have reported the following results:

• Increased Skin Hydration
• Fewer Breakouts
• Clearer Looking Skin
• Reduction in Blemishes
• Reduced Inflammation
• More Balanced Oil Production
• Increased Skin Suppleness
• Healthier Looking Skin

In a fair and perfect world, the debut appearance of cellulite in adulthood would be the exit cue for the acne problems of our teen years. But whatever.  Let’s talk vitamins and anti-aging!

The final innovation from the Targeted Solution line is Derma Defense A&D Boost. It just might have actual super powers. Containing calcium, vitamin A and vitamin D, it’s a potent blend of all the most important essentials required to renew skin and prevent signs of aging. No layering of moisturizer on top of serum, after cleanser, and all before make-up. Hmm. It’s really no surprise are pores are suffocating…

The claim: Low levels of vitamin A and D negatively affect the appearance of the skin. Vitamin A, also known as Retinol, stimulates natural skin cell renewal, elasticity and hydration. Low levels of Vitamin A are typically characterized with very dry skin and a propensity to pigmentation. Vitamin A covers countless functions in our body: it strengthens and maintains the skin, hair and mucous membranes and stimulates normal skin cell renewal and elasticity.

Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin”, in combination with Vitamin A, shields, rejuvenates and repairs the skin. 

This liquid formulation promotes high absorption and bioavailability for optimal results.

The benefits:

After completing a course of skinade Targeted Solutions® Derma Defense, consumers have reported the following results:

• Increased Skin Hydration
• Increased Moisture Levels
• More Even Looking Skin
• Reduced Pigmentation
• Healthier Looking Skin

And with that, skinade has aimed science at our most common skincare concerns and delivered results we can’t wait to experience for ourselves. The most impressive aspect of skinade’s products is that the improvements we see on the outside are a direct result of improved internal health. We all know that although we spend a lot more time fretting about wrinkles and age spots, etc., it’s the wellness within that is far more crucial. 

Lucky for us, Amanda Rose Esthetics is committed to bringing us in touch with treatments and products of the highest in quality, performance and integrity and is a certified provider for skinade Targeted Solutions®. 

 

We’ve probably all been there. Standing in the health and wellness aisle at the pharmacy or grocery store, maybe even pacing up and down. Reading labels, consulting our phone for guidance from friends or the internet, trying to remember what vitamins the doctor rattled off at the last appointment. We conclude that in order to treat our; headache, cold, flu, fatigue, hangover, anxiety, insomnia, decreased athletic performance, post-operative healing, etc. we would need to get four more shopping carts after swinging by the bank for a small loan. Then we have to remember to actually take the supplements each day, and hope our digestive systems tolerate the assault. 

Unless….hold on. Is this for real? A single solution customized to tackle our unique and specific deficiencies, delivered straight to the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and improving our health before we even exit the building? 

WHY consider IV vitamin infusion therapy?  Intravenous drips are the fastest and most effective way to deliver vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants throughout the body. The quality and dosage of nutrients are higher, and the absorption is optimized. IV drips bypass the digestive system eliminating side effects such as nausea, and gastro-intestinal discomfort. IV therapy can treat:

• general fatigue
• hangovers
• athletic training and recovery
• flu/viral illness symptoms
• skin hydration and rejuvenation
• migraines
• nausea/vomiting
• headaches
• B12 deficiency 
• food poisoning
• insomnia
• pain/surgical recovery
• hydration, general or pre and post athletic event
• immune system support

Is anyone a candidate for IV infusion therapy? Nearly everyone can benefit from this treatment.  Treatment is administered by a critical care nurse only after assessing vital signs and a thorough interview process.

What is the length/frequency of treatment? Session time depends upon treatment received, and is usually between 30 – 60 minutes. The number of treatments also depends on each individual’s needs. In most cases, desired results can be achieved in a single session.

Have more questions? Amanda Rose Esthetics has incorporated IV infusion therapy to their wellness offerings and is now scheduling appointments. Contact Amanda Rose Esthetics and give yourself a nutrient infused BOOST, designed specifically for YOU!
