I had a very positive experience with Almi. I had three procedures at one time. The treatments included stem cells and PRP. As a 70 year old woman, I was not expecting my body to react so quickly. The first procedure was Almi fat transfer to my face. It was comfortable enough and I can not say I felt pain. I trusted Dr. Tess to do what she felt my face needed. By the time my 3 week appointment came around I did not really notice a big change, that is until I saw the before and after pictures. I not only looked younger but my skin appeared to have been resurfaced. The change was gradual and no one mentioned anything but the photos showed a definite improvement. I was then taken to another room for the V Time Machine and fat transfer to labia majora. There again the photos were amazing. The benefit from that is no longer dealing with incontinence and more intensity with orgasms. Final was the scalp injections for hair loss due to an autoimmune disorder. The average time for results was three months I was told, but mine was clearly visible new hair coming in at three weeks. I can say that the improvements to my appearance and self-esteem were well worth it. I would highly recommend Dr. Tess and Almi to anyone no matter your age.
My consultation with the Carroll Canyon office went great. They didn't try too hard to upsell me to get procedures I couldn't afford right now. But I was able to get several treatments done that same day and was very pleased. Dr Tess is warm and friendly and very skilled. As a matter of fact each and every team member in that office that I had contact with was very friendly, professional and helpful. Love this place!!
Always a great experience. Dr. Tess never rushes the examination and is very thorough. She explains options very well and her opinion or recommendation each time. The staff is also great and makes the visit a pleasure. Have been seeing Dr. Tess for many years now.
I was not seen by dr Tess during my last treatment but my last experience with her was amazing very professional abd extremely knowledgeable in the field of her expertise. I was seen by Rn Angela on my last treatment and of course always gets a VIP treatment that’s why I keep coming back . Thank s to the whole staff.
This was the first time I had ever had a facial in my life. I got the brightening hydrafacial treatment and loved it! My skin looked and felt amazing after. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. They answered any questions I had during the consultation and during the actual treatment. Would definitely recommend them to everyone.
I enjoyed meeting Dr. Tess for a consultation and Botox treatment. She is very sweet and personable! Her staff is also very nice! She knows what you need by looking at you and makes it really easy. I have already scheduled other treatments and will continue to return.
Love this place. So calming you feel like your one their family members. They offer so many services I want to do all of them. They are cutting edge and one of the most skilled doctors in dermotology. Call and see Veronica. She is so sweet and knowledgeable.
I was assisted by the beautiful and knowledgeable Veronica. Not only was she well educated in the procedure I was inquiring about but she made me feel at ease with her professionalism and patience’s. She answering all my questions without making me feel rushed. I would hightly recommend M Beauty due to their wide range of beauty procedures and Dr Tess. Not to be forgotten but their office lobby is beautiful and has the most amazing chandelier.
Priceless best experience I have ever had at a doctor's office. Would recommend her highly. Beautiful offices, great staff, and timing was perfect. Very professional and extremely friendly. Loved it!
I had a terrific experience here. This was my second laser treatment for Sun damage and pre cancer and everything was very well explained prior to the treatment. Everyone was very attentive and they made me feel very comfortable with this fairly long procedure.
HA fillers are generally very safe because they are naturally occurring in the body and can be reversed if needed. Other fillers that are non-HA are the long term fillers that take time to be noticed, wait for the body's own collagen response to whatever is in that filler and are generally not reversible. Ex. Sculptra Another safe but costly alternative is fat transfer
If maintenance of PRP for hair growth is not maintained, then hair growth and retention does slow and eventually return to that person's normal hair loss. Maintenance treatments are recommended once every 6-12 months depending on your own growth response to treatment.
Microneedling, if done properly, does not lead to more keloid scars. If one does have a history of keloid scars, precautions are taken to ensure the treatment is suitable for their skin type.
Generally, microneedling treatments, even at 2mm are very safe in the hands of an experienced practitioner. There are many factors that contribute to your risk of long-term scarring from an in-office, professional grade microneedling treatment. Risk factors include your skin color, your ethic background, the natural sensitivity of your skin, how many passes were performed in the treatment area, which part of your skin was treated (some areas are more delicate than others) and whether or not you incur any issues during the healing process. In our practice we discourage patients from doing microneedling treatments as a sole treatment for acne scarring. The treatment alone is usually not able to produce enough collage production to see a clinically significant improvement. For the best results, we recommend the microneedling treatment be performed with platelet rich plasma (PRP). We have personally not seen any cases of long-term scarring caused by a microneedling treatment but that does not mean it cannot happen. The best advice I can give you for any future treatment is to always choose a reputable practice that specializes in your skin type/issue and the treatment you’re interested in. Cosmetic treatments are extremely operator dependant and choosing a good practitioner is worth it.
