Aterna wellness

Aterna Wellness operates in Fontana, California, under the clinical direction of Ahmad Ghandour, MSN, a Trauma ICU Clinician and Advanced Aesthetic Injector currently completing his DNP-FNP. The clinic integrates medical weight management, peptide therapy, hormone optimization, and aesthetic procedures within a single practice model.

Ghandour's critical care background informs the clinic's approach to patient assessment, contraindication screening, and protocol customization for both metabolic and cosmetic interventions. The clinic's peptide and metabolic programs center on Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss, combined with NAD+ infusions to support mitochondrial function and cellular repair during caloric restriction.

Patients receive individualized dosing protocols based on body composition analysis, metabolic panel results, and weight loss velocity. Aterna Wellness structures these programs with regular follow-up visits to adjust peptide dosages, monitor side effects, and integrate nutritional counseling.

Hormone optimization services address thyroid function, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone imbalances through lab-guided replacement protocols, often coordinated with peptide therapy to maximize fat loss and muscle preservation.

Ahmad Ghandour performs aesthetic injections including neuromodulators for dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers for volume restoration and lip augmentation, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments for facial rejuvenation and hair restoration.

The clinic offers microneedling with and without PRP, laser hair removal, and laser skin resurfacing. IV therapy protocols extend beyond NAD+ to include hydration blends, vitamin infusions, and immune support formulations.

Ghandour's injection technique reflects his anatomical training from critical care practice, with emphasis on vascular safety, product placement precision, and natural aesthetic outcomes. Patients at Aterna Wellness in Fontana typically begin with a consultation that includes medical history review, current medication assessment, and goal-setting for either metabolic, hormonal, or aesthetic concerns.

For peptide therapy candidates, baseline labs are ordered to evaluate kidney function, liver enzymes, thyroid status, and lipid panels before initiating GLP-1 agonists. Weight loss patients receive body composition measurements and are educated on expected timelines, dietary modifications, and potential side effects such as nausea or gastrointestinal changes.

Aesthetic patients undergo facial analysis with discussion of treatment sequencing, product selection, and maintenance schedules. The clinic schedules follow-up appointments at protocol-specific intervals to assess progress and modify treatment plans.

Aterna Wellness maintains a 5.0-star rating across 66 Google reviews, with patients frequently noting outcomes related to injectables, laser treatments, IV therapy experiences, and the clinical environment.

The Fontana location serves patients throughout the Inland Empire seeking medically supervised weight loss alternatives to bariatric surgery, hormone replacement for age-related decline, and aesthetic procedures performed by a provider with advanced clinical training.

The clinic's combination of critical care expertise and aesthetic specialization allows for safe treatment of patients with complex medical histories who may be excluded from spa-based aesthetic practices.
