Reviews for Springfield, MO Registered Nurse Karlene Ruiz
"First-timer and I had such a great experience with Botox & fillers (lip). I appreciate the time spent on consultation and letting me know exactly what to expect. I will definitely be back!!"
"This place is top notch! Everyone is so professional and Karlene can do magic on facial procedures!"
"I had the edge laser treatment done today. Upon arrival I was taken back to the procedure room within a minute of sitting down. The staff was kind and accommodating. The young lady that performed my procedure, explained everything and offered to answer any questions that I had. The procedure took less than 12 minutes, but she was very empathetic and kind during the procedure. She accurately, as of right now (as of 2 hours after), explained the aftercare process. They explain there is different settings to the edge, laser treatment, which accommodate the number of days you have for recovery. I go back to work on Wednesday, 1/10. I will update on the healing and aftercare process next week."
"Sam did the absolute best job on my dermaplane and hydrafacial! She was super precise and thorough. I’ve had a hydrafacial before and I could really tell a difference when Sam did it!"
"Another wonderful experience with Karlene. She is hands down the best injector of facial fillers. She is very knowledgeable regarding facial structure and has perfected her technique!"
"First time doing fillers for my lips. It was an awesome experience and definitely will be back. Thank you ladies 🏼"
"I literally could not have wished for a better first time experience. Ashtyn was super knowledgeable and so welcoming. I was really nervous to go somewhere and talk about my insecurities and what I wanted "fixed" about my face. While I was talking about what I wanted corrected (lips and nose), she made sure to point out a thing or two about the same area that was already pretty perfect. I can't really express how much I appreciated hearing genuine compliments during the whole process. It definitely made a very positive experience. Thanks to Ashtyn, by the time I left, I no longer felt like I was "fixing" a part of my face but enhancing something that was already beautiful."
"This is my first time doing Botox and Ashtyn made it so easy! Very professional and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this business."
"Jasmine is amazing! I have never seen my face glow like this. I highly recommend the HydraFacial with her :)"
"Love this place! Erina is the best!!! Love her facials!!"
"I have gone to Karlene and her staff at AMS for many years and always have the best experiences. Whether it’s lasers, fillers, or botox I am always beyond happy with my results! Thank you!"
"Jasmine did a great job with my hydrofacial. The Botox was fast and painless."
"Erina is incredible. Best esthetician I have ever been to. Calming & able to read my skin care needs. I always leave feeling amazing"
"I got nose filler done and am already obsessed the results! I can’t wait to see it once everything’s all settled in. Thank you again, Ashtyn!!"
"Everyone at Aesthetic Med Studio is so kind & knowledgeable. They listen to your questions & let you know exactly what to expect. Karlene did my PDO threads (5 Stars there!) and Erina did my INTRAcel RF treatments which have given the intended results of reduced pores, skin tightening, and just overall skin improvement. Very impressed!!"
"This was such a wonderful experience! My first facial ever, and it just felt so good and left my face soft and glowing. Thank you, Jasmine, for a great job!!"
"My wedding is coming up in October and I wanted everything to be as perfect as possible. I started either mounjaro or ozempic (can’t remember which) a little less than a month ago and I have lost a total of 15 pounds. Aesthetic Med created an individualized plan for me to help set and meet my goals before the wedding. Now after completing my journey with weight loss, I am so excited to get in that wedding dress! Deeply grateful for the knowledgeable staff and professionals who helped me achieve my goals at Aesthetic Med Studio. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to feel better about themselves, physically and mentally!"
"I love the Botox treatments, lip injections and especially the Intracell I have received from Aesthetic Med Studio. I am told frequently that I do not look my age and I owe it all to these wonderful people."
"I wish there was a way to tell everyone to go to this place for all of the aesthetic needs!!! I got lips fillers for the first time ever yesterday and they took such good care of me. Walked me through what will happen. Reassured me. And educated me on the process. Then while getting my filler is was so easy and quick and it hasn’t even been 24 hours and I love them! Such an amazing place and an amazing staff. Would rate even higher than 5 stars if it were possible!"
"Botox and cheek filler. Amazing results. Highly recommend"
"Had the best experience getting lip filler here. The whole facility is absolutely beautiful, clean and comfortable. I got my lips done by Ashton, who was incredible. She made me feel so comfortable and gave me exactly what I was looking for!!"
"All I can say is WOW. So many positive things to say. Got dermal fillers done in my lips and I’m so excited to see the outcome. Such a welcoming staff and they are more concerned about results as opposed to money. Cannot recommend more."
"I’m usually not the person to leave a review but I have to share my experience. So I’ve been looking for a new place to get Botox in my jaws since the place I used to go to screwed up but refused to admit or even apologize to me. I’m glad I found this place because everyone is professional and were willing help me get the best result possible. I will def be returning!"
"I got Botox for the very first time a couple weeks ago and the staff was so friendly and informative. I felt like any question I had was answered so well and the injection didn’t hurt at all! I would definitely recommend them!"
"Now that I'm in my second year of exclusively trusting AMS with my skin, and convincing all of my friends/family to become life long customers, I can say with full confidence- they are one of the country's TOP TIER *if not THE best* medical spas. While their studio looks like an exclusive salon you would find in Calabasas or NYC, their prices are incredibly competitive. And for the quality of service, professionalism, and state of the art equipment and techniques- you're getting the absolute MOST for your money. On top of all of that their team has become family and I am stunned at the progress we've made with my skin. From various facials, treatments, and lasers with the addition of a custom skin care regimen I was able to look my absolute best during my reign as Miss Missouri USA and put my best face forward at Miss USA. We are SO lucky to have a medical spa of this quality available in Missouri. My only warning is to know that after your first visit you'll never go anywhere else!!"
"I just want to start off by saying how incredibly helpful the staff at Aesthetic Med Studio is. They’re not only very informative but they seem to truly want what is best for you. So many places would just take whatever money you throw at them and do whatever you ask for... not that they won’t do what you ask for, because they will... but they actually help you to decide what will work best for what you are trying to accomplish while keeping your budget in mind. Morgan spent days talking to me and Karlene was a pleasure to work with as well. I can’t wait to see my kybella results! Thank you AMS! I am looking forward to coming back and seeing you all again soon!"
"The best of the best. I love getting my facials here once a month and Carlene is the best injector I’ve ever used! I’ll never go anywhere else!"
"Aesthetic Med is one of the most beautiful med spas in the region! Not to mention the entire staff is so kind and accommodating the moment you walk through their doors. They make you feel at ease by answering all your questions before/during your appointment. Lucy also gives the most relaxing facials! If you haven’t been in to see them yet, get yourself an appointment! They have so much to offer."
"The most incredible med studio Springfield has to offer. Nowhere else competes. I get my month facials here and the girls are so amazing. I can’t reccomend this place enough!"
"I can’t brag enough about the staff here at Aesthetic Med Studio. Morgan is such a friendly face and a delight to talk to when you go in there. Erina did my laser hair removal and is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet! The facility is beautiful and spotless. I can’t stress this enough, GO TO Aesthetic Med Studio for all of your med spa needs because I guarantee you will not be disappointed!"
"Favorite facial I have ever gotten! I LOVE Erina and how she is so passionate about what she does. Highly recommend!"
"My filler nurse recommended this place as the best option for botox around my mouth. The facility was beautiful and clean and everyone was very friendly. My nurse listened to me exactly, was incredibly friendly, and had me in and out extremely quickly. I have recommended it and I really thought their prices were reasonable as well. Thank you for a great experience! I love my results"
"Best med spa in Springfield! All the staff is nice and helpful and karlene is the best at lip filler hands down!! The office is absolutely stunning and you’ll never leave disappointed."
"Everyone here is so friendly and Karlene is the best! I have gotten laser procedures and cosmetic injections here and have been extremely satisfied! Can't imagine going anywhere else!"
"After moving to Springfield at the beginning of summer I went to a med spa for Botox, I wasn’t thrilled with my experience so the next time I needed it I went here and it was a dream. This office is breathtaking, along with everyone who works here. Since then I’ve been back for other services. The experience and results from the services I’ve got have been top notch. So happy to have found my forever medical spa ❣️❣️❣️"
"An absolutely beautiful place! I had a wonderful experience with my Cool Sculpting and very excited about those results! My Botox and filler is great, fast and virtually painless! What a fabulous spa experience! You will love the incredible staff!!"
"The new office is beautiful! Loved the hydro facial, as always. My face is so smooth from with the added dermaplane. Thank you for brining my skin back to life!"
"I love going here!! I have received IPL and Botox from Karlene. She is so knowledgeable and kind! Atmosphere is so laid back, not stuffy like some medical offices can be."
"My brow artist just got her lips done here and I’m obsessed! She looked beautiful before, but holy smokes, she’s on fire now! Can’t wait to get into the office and get some services done of my own."
"Fell in love with Karlene!!! Love my new youthful lips !! Can’t wait to be able to do more to help my skin!!!"
"Fantastic place! I got a lip filler there and the whole staff was super friendly. Karlene did an amazing job, I was nervous and she made sure to make me laugh and calm me down. My lips turned out just like I wanted them, such a confidence boost!"
"Love this place. karlene always does a fabulous job on my lips and Botox."
"OMG! I cannot say enough about Karlene, she’s a miracle worker. I’ve been to several actual plastic surgeons for fillers who do not gift half the results as she does. She listens to exactly what you want and she delivers exactly what you’ve asked for. She explains the procedure and what results you will get before you make your final decision. Her spa offers many wonderful things like lashes, facials, lazar and threading. I recommend you look no further for an inviting, relaxing day. Just be ready to walk out feeling amazing! ❤️"
"Karlene is the absolute best! Love love love my Botox and lips every single time!"
"I am 53 years old and my skin is looking better than ever there facials are the best and every time I go in they make you feel so welcome like your a friend not a client. I have to give everyone there 5 stars and a thank you"
"Karla and staff are so knowledgeable and really make you feel at ease about everything! She does the most natural looking injectables I've ever seen!!! And after struggling a lot with acne and dark spots my skin has never looked better!"
"Karleen is amazing with lip filler. She takes the time to explain everything to you and makes sure that she is giving you the procedure that you truly want. She truly cares and is such a professional. I would not go anywhere else but to her."
"Dear Karlene & Staff The words Thank You just aren’t enough to show how much I appreciate you all...I have had such wonderful and fabulous results. Beauty is always an inside job that is ours alone to nurture and live into. External beauty is an added bonus and almost always reflects the inner beauty at the heart of each person. Karlene reflects that inner beauty to all who walk through there doors. I felt your warmth, concern, excitement and enthusiasm for all my procedures from Threading to Lip Fillers, to Laser treatments. I always felt heard, cared for and accepted. Thank you for making this adventure as easy as possible. Your the best!!!!"
"I had a great experience with my lip filler! It looks great and it’s subtle like I wanted. I highly recommend this place."
"I started with lashes and went for years and finally decided to try fillers and walked out with the most gorgeous mouth ever! I’ve literally recommended Karlene to every woman I know! She’s beautiful, magic, professional and a joy to work with! You’ll not be disappointed when you look and feel 10 years younger walking out of Ames Studio!"
"I love going here! I have received an IPL and Botox. Love the atmosphere!"
"Kybella!! Loved results. Genetic turkey neck, fat dissolved is permanent Love maintaining my Botox and filer, it the same feeling as a fresh hair or new set of nails. I love the non surgical approach to hit the pause button and maintain beautiful skin and the confidence it adds. Karlene is a gem!"
"Every procedure they done both lip filler and my Botox of been fabulous and completely pain-free and they work me in quickly for my Botox before my vacation I think they were hesitant because it takes a while to take effect but basically it looks like my vacation was even more restful! I am super happy"
"After having procedures elsewhere, my experience with Karleen is exceptional. She is truly an artist and spends time to study your face prior to any service. Because of her experience for many years she understands the facial structure and knows exactly what needs to be done. I am totally satisfied with everything she has done."
"I can't believe the changes in my face since I started having the profractional laser treatments. After only 3 treatments , the sun damaged freckled face is looking amazing. No more sun damage all freckles gone ! I am so happy , Even my regular dermatologist asked me what treatments I had been doing and was highly impressed with the results and now refers his patients to AMS. Karlene Ruiz and her staff are top notch. Amazing talented people who produce nothing less than perfection . Every time I go back I'm always more impressed than the last time."
"I'm so happy I found AMS! Thanks to Karlene, I have the best complexion ever. Love Profactional and BBL. They are helping me correct the bad skincare decisions (tanning) I made when I was younger. Looking forward to trying new treatments/procedures in the future."
"Every time that I visit AMS I leave feeling more knowledgeable and satisfied with all aspects of my skin care . Karlene is very kind and thorough with her treatments along with entire staff. I appreciate them very much and will continue to do business with them for many years to come. Thank you AMS."
"Karlene and Cindy are terrific! They are easy to work with and never sell you on something that you don't need or want! Love the hydrafacials!"
