In the ever-evolving realm of self-care and aesthetic treatments, medspas have become go-to destinations for those seeking non-invasive procedures and rejuvenating treatments. However, with so many to choose from in the greater Portland metropolitan area, finding the right medspa for your needs can be a daunting task. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate through the process and explain why Amélie is the perfect medspa for your wellness journey.
Understanding Your Needs
The first step in finding the right medspa for you is to identify your personal aesthetic goals and needs. Are you looking to start preventative anti-aging treatments such as Botox for the first time? Do you have volume loss in your face you are hoping to restore with dermal fillers? Do you struggle with hair loss or thinning? Do you suffer from a chronic skin condition such as psoriasis, eczema, or atopic dermatitis? Do you have dull and/or congested skin and are looking to start monthly facials? By identifying your specific skin concerns and desired outcomes, you will be able to evaluate the range of treatments offered by different medspas and select which aligns best with your goals.
Research, Research, Research:
With there being so many medspas to choose from in the greater Portland metro area, it is easy to price shop and try to pick based on ‘the best bang for your buck.’ However, make sure you are making your decision based on reputation, as well as credentials and licensing. Look for reviews, testimonials, and ratings from reliable sources. Specifically, pay attention to feedback regarding the treatments you are interested in. At Amélie Specialized Aesthetics, we have over 300 5-star Google reviews between our Tigard, OR and Vancouver, WA locations and are in the top 1% of Botox providers in the nation. Our staff is made up of qualified professionals including registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician associates, advanced aestheticians, as well as a board-certified physician as our medical director. All of our staff undergoes continuing education each year and frequently attend hands-on training as well as conferences.
Range of Services Offered
A reputable establishment should provide a variety of services, from skincare and facial treatments to body contouring and laser procedures. Here at Amélie Specialized Aesthetics, we offer a variety of injectable treatments (Botox, Dysport, SkinVive, Dermal Fillers, Sculptra, Kybella, PRF injections as well as PRF hair restoration), lasers (BBL and HALO), facial services, skincare, as well as CoolSculpting.
Consultation Process
A trustworthy medspa will offer thorough consultations before any treatment. During this process, professionals should assess your individual needs, medical history, and expectations. Here at Amélie, we offer complimentary consultations with a personalized approach to ensure that treatments are tailored to your unique wants and needs. In each consultation, our providers take plenty of time to chat with you about what you’re looking for, what your timeline may look like, and where you are on your aesthetic journey. Based on what you decide together, they create customized, long-term treatment plans to keep you looking and feeling flawless.It’s a holistic, personal approach to care that revolves around giving you the very best in every way. This is a free, no-obligation appointment but you can choose to do a same-day treatment if time allows. You will then be sent a personalized consultation form following your appointment which will include your recommended treatment plan with a price breakdown.
Technology and Equipment
A reputable medspa invests in state-of-the-art equipment and stays updated on industry trends, as cutting-edge technology often results in more effective and safer treatments. At Amélie, we use the newest technology with our lasers and aesthetic equipment. Our BBL/HALO laser is the best IPL (intense pulse light) treatment on the market and targets various issues with one treatment, and our CoolSculpting Elite is the newest CoolSculpting machine with larger and shallower applicators for best results; it gets cold enough to freeze 20-25% of fat cells in one treatment. Additionally, the Skin Pen that we use for microneedling is a top of the line device with adjustable depth to provide the best results.
Commitment to Customer Service
It is important to pay attention to the level of customer service provided by the medspa. A friendly and knowledgeable staff that is attentive to your needs contributes to an overall positive experience. One bonus about choosing our team at Amélie: you’ll never have unanswered questions. Every one of our team members lives and breathes cosmetic treatments. From the people performing your treatments to the friendly voices answering the phone, we love to talk about all things med spa and are happy to answer any questions you have. Beyond being aesthetics pros, our team members are downright lovely human beings who care deeply about going above and beyond.
By following these guidelines, you can navigate the diverse landscape of medspas and make an informed decision that aligns with your beauty and wellness goals. Remember, your well-being is paramount, so take the time to choose a medspa that prioritizes safety, professionalism, and client satisfaction.
