BBL photo facial

+

BBL photo facial is a gentle light therapy that uses broad-spectrum light to target skin concerns like redness, sun spots, and uneven tone. It involves a technician applying a light flash to the skin to stimulate collagen and improve texture with minimal downtime.

BOTOX treatments

+

BOTOX treatments involve small injections that temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles. A clinician cleans the area, uses a tiny needle, and may apply numbness. Effects appear in days and typically last a few months.

Body contouring

+

Body contouring refers to cosmetic procedures that shape and sculpt the body by removing fat, tightening skin, or reshaping areas after weight loss or pregnancy, using treatments like liposuction, non-surgical skin tightening, or targeted fat reduction.

Cellulite reduction

+

Cellulite reduction is a treatment aimed at softening the dimpled look of cellulite on the skin. It involves methods like massage, laser or radiofrequency therapies, topical creams, and lifestyle tips to improve skin smoothness and reducebumps over time.

Chemical peels

+

Chemical peels use a special solution applied to the skin to exfoliate the top layers, helping improve texture, tone, and minor wrinkles. It involves cleansing, applying the solution, a brief tingling or warmth, and post-care for smoother skin.

CoolSculpting treatments

+

CoolSculpting treatments are a non-surgical procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze and reduce stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, hips, and thighs. It targets fat cells, with no incisions, downtime, or anesthesia, and results appear over weeks to months.

Dysport treatment

+

Dysport treatment uses tiny injections of a protein to relax facial muscles, reducing lines and wrinkles for a smoother look. The procedure is quick, usually done in under 30 minutes, with mild tenderness and minimal downtime.

IPL photo facial

+

IPL photo facial is a skin treatment that uses intense pulsed light to target pigment, redness, and fine lines. It typically involves cleaning the skin, wearing protective eye gear, and delivering light pulses to improve tone, texture, and clarity with minimal downtime.

JUVÉDERM treatments

+

JUVÉDERM treatments are injectable dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid to smooth wrinkles and add volume to the skin. They involve a clinician injecting gel under the skin to soften lines, enhance contours, and refresh facial appearance, with quick results and little downtime.

Laser hair removal

+

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic treatment that uses focused light to damage hair follicles, slowing or stopping growth. It typically involves a trained professional applying a laser to target areas like legs, underarms, or bikini line, with brief pulses and cooling for comfort.

Lip fillers

+

Lip fillers are cosmetic injections that add volume and shape to the lips using a soft gel-like substance, usually hyaluronic acid. The treatment boosts fullness, may improve contours, and typically involves a quick procedure with minor swelling and final results after settling.

Microneedling

+

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s healing and collagen production. A device with fine pins is rolled or stamped over the surface, often with a topical numbing cream, to smooth texture and improve tone.

PRP facial

+

PRP facial uses a patient’s own blood plasma rich in platelets, applied on the face to stimulate collagen and rejuvenate skin. Blood is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets, then injected or applied topically with micro-needling for improved texture and glow.

Spider vein treatments

+

Spider vein treatments are medical procedures that remove or close small, tangled veins just under the skin, usually with injections or laser therapy. Procedures are quick, usually outpatient, with mild discomfort and a short recovery.

Ultherapy

+

Ultherapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten skin on the face, neck, and décolletage. It stimulates collagen to gradually improve sagging, with sessions lasting about 60–90 minutes and possible mild side effects.

miradry

+

Miradry is a non-surgical procedure that uses laser-like energy to reduce underarm sweating by destroying sweat glands. It involves local anesthesia, several minutes of treatment, and results from reduced sweating for many people, with possible temporary side effects.

I recently went to the Appearance Care Center for a Clear + Brilliant treatment and had such a great experience! Ali at the front desk was super sweet and got me checked in right away. My nurse, Jackie, was awesome! She explained everything very clearly and made me feel totally comfortable. She also went over all the aftercare instructions so I knew exactly how to care for my skin. Everything went smoothly and I felt really taken care of. Definitely recommend!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I’ve had really bad TMJ and jaw clenching to the point where my jaw hurt constantly and I couldn’t eat properly. I started seeing Danielle (every 4 months) about a year ago for masseter and jaw botox, and she’s honestly changed my face (and my life). My face used to have noticeable asymmetry from all the grinding, and now it’s completely even and snatched. Every appointment feels calm and personal, never rushed and scheduling has been super simple too! You’d probably find cheaper places if you look, but the results and care here are worth every penny. I’ve never had to go back for corrections or touch-ups. Danielle is literally an artist!

I came to the appearance care center for my first laser treatment, clear + brilliant. I was a little nervous about the pain level, I didn’t know what to expect. Alison, the receptionist was so welcoming and got me prepped for the treatment. She was so sweet and answered all my questions and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Courtney was my provider and also so sweet and professional. She talked me through everything she was going to do and was super informative about the treatment and also answered some questions that I had after. I was surprised there was almost no discomfort from the treatment and I got great results! Loved all the ladies here and absolutely recommend… 10/10 experience!

My 5 STAR review is well overdue as I have had several wonderful treatments with Nurse Danielle! It's always a pleasure to be greeted by the receptionist, Ali, who takes my before and after pics, gets me numb and comfortable and goes over my treatments plan. Danielle does it all! I have been smoothed, tightened and lifted by her experienced, professional and gentle hands. I would recommend anyone to visit for a consultation and treatment. They also offer very competitive package pricing.

Insane staff. Half way through a treatment, my injector Danielle shared she was attempting a new technique. I wasn’t asked if I wanted to be a guinea pig. The results looked worse than no treatment. (husband and I had good results before, so after a “please ask before attempting new techniques” we planned to return.) I also asked to see my session photos. The receptionist Ali said “sure” a few times until texting “this is my first priority, but it would take me an hour of uninterrupted work to do, and I’m busy.” At our next apt. I said those texts made me uncomfortable, and asked to use my phone for photos (or take one on the iPad and one on my phone) so I’d have a copy. The receptionist started crying and left the room to get managers. Plural. Her making me uncomfortable made her break down. Wow. The injector also looked like she’d been crying (bloodshot teary eyes and shaking hands) before we came in, so much so that my husband asked if she was okay. We left as the managers arrived because it was too intense and emotional and unprofessional to stay.

I have been driving from Granite Bay (3 hours) for 10 years to go to this center. Clear and Brilliant and all injectables. Dr. Maas just did my lips and they came out perfect (not overdone) I didn't have to hide for days, he has been doing my injectables for 10 years and always natural!! These pics are 2 days after! I am 63 years old so want to look natural not overdone!

I came to the Appearance Care Center for Botox, and I was nervous because it was my first time getting injectables. I talked with Danielle about my concerns and told her that I was hoping to soften my forehead wrinkles and "11" lines. She explained how Botox worked, walked me through the entire procedure, and made sure I was comfortable at every step. She offered to numb the area beforehand but I decided to go without, and the pain was surprisingly minimal! It just felt like a tiny pinch, and after a few seconds the pain was completely gone. The results appeared slowly over the next week and I am SO happy with the results! Everyone was so welcoming, patient, and friendly throughout my entire visit. I highly recommend ACC, and I will definitely be back!

Amazing experience! From the moment you walk into the door friendly stuff members welcome you into the clinic (hard to find these days). I was in for a IPL treatment on my face, Christina, the nurse who treated me that day, was amazing, she explained every step of the way and what i was to expect. Once she started the treatment she checked on me every second of the treatment to see if i was ok, she made me feel so comfortable the entire treatment.She was very very professional. i would recommend this center to everybody. thank you so much.

Excellent skin care team from the booking to the procedure. I have had both IPL and Clear & Brilliant done by these folks with excellent results. The office is very comfortable and they offer Saturday appointments which is awesome for those of us with crazy work-week schedules.. The practitioners explain each step of the process and are skilled and gentle. Highly recommended!!!
