PERSONALIZED SKIN CARE MADE SIMPLE AT AMBROSIA MEDSPANestled in Juanita Village in Kirkland you’ll find Ambrosia MedSpa a luxury medspa and proverbial “fountain of youth.” Ambrosia Medspa is named for the Greek mythical food and drink of the gods, their source of immortality and timeless beauty. Ambrosia’s approach to age man-agement is simple: personal, customized (not cookie cutter) skin care plans with a strong focus on results and patient care. “Women and men want to look their best for their age,” says Debra Tri ARNP, Medical Director at Ambrosia Medspa. “We focus on education so our results can be maintained long term.”Ambrosia’s staff utilizes state-of-the-art technology to treat the signs of premature aging on the face and body including a loss of elasticity, wrinkles, acne, redness and brown spots, spider veins, hair reduction, and fat removal. All of Ambrosia’s treatments and highly trained staff are focused on prevention, repair and correction of premature signs of aging, as well as, maintaining a healthy appearance.

PREVENTION
You can prevent many signs of aging like wrinkles and sun spots by starting a simple skin care regimen in your 20’s and 30’s. Tri recommends consistently cleansing, exfoliation and hydrating the skin with facials every 4-6 weeks. “Our clients experience great results with our DiamondTome™ microdermabrasion treatments. The Diamond Tome microderm is a gentle resurfacing treatment that reduces the appearance fine lines, acne scarring and other pigmentary problems. Ambrosia clients are also using BOTOX® as a preventative measure. By freezing the muscles that cause wrinkles, they are never allowed to form.

REPAIR
In our late 30’s and on into our 40’s, cell turnover begins to slow down. Collagen production also slows down leaving skin less resilient. Deeper lines, sagginess, more creases and dark circles become accentuated. Ambrosia attacks these changes with the triniti™ laser skin rejuvenation system. This FDA approved non-surgical treatment has three steps: FotoFacial RF® Color Correction improves spider veins, age spots, uneven skin tone and sun-damaged skin; ReFirme tightens sagging and wrinkled skin; Matrix IR Wrinkle Reduction heats the connective tissue which stimulates collagen production to firm and improve skin texture. The three treatments are performed sequentially during the same office visit. Visible results can be seen with the first treatment, however for best results three treatment sessions are recommended.The triniti™ treatment can be done on your lunch hour. Treatment time is 40-60 minutes and you can immediately return to your daily routine. Am-brosia MedSpa is one of the few spas on the Eastside offering the triniti™. In addition to laser skin rejuvenation, Ambrosia offers facial fillers such as Juvederm™ and Radiesse® that instantly softens the wrinkles around the sides of your nose and mouth. Juvederm™ is manufactured by Allergan, makers of Botox, and is approved by the FDA to last up to one year. Radiesse® gives instant lift and is another great filler for those deeper lines, also good for a year.

GET SUNWISE
Skin protection is not just face protection; it can save your life. Washington State has one of the highest incidence rates in the U.S. of melanoma, the most serious type ofskin cancer because it can be fatal. TRY: Colorescience - Sunforgettable Brush (SPF 30). Available at Ambrosia MedSpa.

CORRECTION
“Some women in their 50’s who haven’t had a pimple since their teen years find that suddenly their faces are full of them,” explains Tri. The Syneron elos laser technology penetrates the skin to precisely target and destroy active acne-causing bacteria. The elos™ Skin Rejuvenation Treatment treats the signs of aging and sun damage, rosacea and brown spots, also called sun spots. The treatment time is 30 minutes and over the course of 5 or 6 treatment sessions, most people see a gradual and continual improvement of their skin tone and appearance.

TAKE THE MEDSPA HOME
At Ambrosia education doesn’t stop at the door, they carry an array of medical grade skin care products including Obagi Medical, Eminence Organic, Clarisonic skin care systems, Colorescience mineral make up, Neocutis bio-restorative cosmeceuticals and RevitaLash. All are clinically proven to enhance and maintain treatment results. “It’s important at every age to wear sunscreen to prevent sun damage. Investing in a home skin care plan is the best way to enhance and maintain your spa treatments,” explains Bridget O’Brien, Ambrosia Spa Director. “Not having a home care plan is like going to the dentist for a cleaning, and then never brushing your teeth again.” Ambrosia MedSpa will help you define and achieve your beauty goals, so you can be beautiful at any age!
