IF YOU HAVE HYPERPIGMENTATION AND BROWN SKIN, THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU…read more I'm a South Asian woman with Fitzpatrick IV skin -- medium-deep, melanin-rich. My skin condition was actually pretty good over all, except for a recent tan and hyperpigmentation. The staff member whom I consulted with recommended a series of Helix Cool Peel treatments, claiming "there is minimal downtime, just a little red for a day or two" and that 3 peels would "almost completely take care of all the problems." No legitimate skincare professional should make that promise to anyone, let alone to a patient with darker skin where chemical peels carry a documented, well-known risk of making pigmentation significantly worse. She then enticed me with a limited-time "special discount." Thinking I would miss it, I fell for the scheme and hastily accepted the deal. After the procedure came the aftercare instructions. There was no real mention of sunscreen, which is the single biggest omission, regardless of the client's skin color. They failed to mention that the controlled micro-damage to the skin barrier leaves it significantly more hypersensitive to the sun, requiring more protection than usual, not less. A competent, up-to-date with research professional treating darker skin types would have specified SPF 50+ tinted sunscreen with iron oxides. These are critical for protection against visible light, which disproportionately triggers pigmentation in darker skin types. Instead, they said to avoid the sun and left it at that. Being huge on sunscreen, I followed my usual routine plus wore a hat, mask, and sunglasses. I didn't know it, but these precautions were barely keeping the worst effects at bay during this period. On one sunny afternoon, a couple of weeks after my last peel, I removed my hat and mask for about half an hour during a special outing to take photos. I had applied EltaMD tinted sunscreen earlier anyway. Hours later, I caught my reflection. My medium brown skin had turned muddy brown -- visibly off, the way a person looks when they're pink all over from a bad sunburn. It was the exact outcome I had been most afraid of, and I didn't any active treatments to fall back on. I hoped it was temporary. It wasn't. My foundation shade no longer even matched. In retrospect, it makes sense. The staff appeared to have fairer complexion, which isn't disqualifying, but they likely didn't have personal experience with tanning quickly the way I do. They should have taken even more care to follow the latest research about dark skin. It took months to reverse the damage, but 1 year later, my skin looks normal again and the hyperpigmentation has even faded somewhat. It's all thanks to topicals like tretinoin, azelaic acid, and hydroquinone, which are the dermatological gold standard. They're slower, yes, but gentle, and they actively mitigate accidental sun damage by interrupting the pigmentation cascade. I'm also looking into trying RF microneedling, specifically Morpheus8, which is significantly safer for darker skin. They work alongside the topicals and can raise your improvement ceiling from 30-40% with topicals alone to 60-80% combined, without the dangerous post-procedure hypersensitivity window. To find these special deals, not scams, check Groupon. Before booking anywhere, research the risks for your specific skin tone, then call and ask the practice directly: What is your post-procedure sun protection protocol for Fitzpatrick IV skin? What is your plan if my skin darkens after treatment? Can I see before and after photos of clients with my skin tone? If they can't answer specifically, walk away.

Katherine walks in and NEVER introduces herself. I only knew who she was by her photo online. She didn't ask me any questions, just started injecting. She never told me the name of the product she was using. Never explained ANYTHING. She was cold and callous. I go home and first thing my husband asks is "did you go for your filler?" This just justified my horrible experience. I gave it two weeks and saw nothing but bruising everywhere and no plumpness whatsoever. I drive there to discuss my issue. She is in with a client but hears me talking to reception and calls the young lady in and then she comes back and tells me to make a new appointment for the other half of syringe. (Only reason she got called in was because her Katherine must of heard her say, "has this happened to you before?") Katherine finishes, comes out and looks right at me and doesn't even say hello. Doesn't even look at my face and the mess she made. Does not even make an attempt to rectify the issue. I call afterwards and demand a refund and guess what? I got it. No questions asked. I even asked for my tip back. Got that too. Then I get a phone call from her telling me to leave her alone. I didn't call her, she called ME. THEN I get a phone call from a client of hers who happens to be a friend of mine telling me all my business and asking me what happened and begged not to review. Ever hear of the HIPAA law? Disgusting. Shame on you.

When I called to make…read moremy appointment for the first time the lady on the phone was so polite, which made me feel comfortable already because other places I've tried I didn't have that same experience. I came in on my 1st day to try LaserLipo which I purchased from Groupon which was a steal! The woman at the Spa at the front desk was friendly, warm and welcoming. I'm usually nervous and uncomfortable in situations where I have to show my stomach but she didn't make me feel that way so points to her! Each room is private so you are not in one big room with 10 other half naked girls which I love - the privacy and comfort. There's nice relaxing zen/massage music playing in the room and you have the option of lights on or lights off. Lights off is way more soothing while laying down!! I have a few more treatments left, and after this I plan to look into what other services they offer. Definitely check this place out!

I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact that this wellness center is on health journey…read more The team always accommodated me and made the long hour and a half drive worthwhile each time with their exceptional hospitality, private room set up, knowledge, and high quality products. While some may casually mention being willing to travel far for services, this center truly exceeded my expectations. Despite being over 60 miles from East Hampton, where I was vacationing for two months, I needed a colonic after finding them on Google. At the time, they were offering an incredible deal for a package of 3. I knew I had to purchase plus add an extra session to the initial package. I made it a priority to drive to them multiple times for 90 minute extended colonics. Despite initial nervousness about trying an open system without assistance from a Hydro therapist providing a body massage, I was surprised by the effectiveness of their machine and their "Detox Clay." I purchased a second package of 3, totaling 4 sessions and 3 bottles of the "detox clay" and a bottle of body oil on my last session. I will continue supporting this business. Thank you!

Vanessa is the owner and she is awesome as well as her staff. The Colenz - Highly recommended that you take the fiber, or even the clay they have for purchase it's make the process smooth and less cramping depending on much much build up you have in your colon. Also recommend doing a Juice fast before or after the cleanse which Vanessa sells as well. This is the best way to get a colonic I have done research and also had it done other ways and this is truly the safest and best way. And if you are into Hot Yoga. I recommend doing a class of hot yoga and getting cleansed after. You will feel amazing and a lot of toxins will go out. They have 2 other locations which are in Garden City, and now NJ. Not only do they offer the Colenz, but they have the Fitwrap- it makes you sweat and lose inches The Footbath- it lets you know what toxins are in your body The Suna, and also ear candling which was a very interesting experience and a few more services that I haven't tried yet. Customer service is always great at all locations and most importantly it CLEAN AND SMELLS amazing. I'm so comfortable here and I love how this location welcomes me with open arms.

I first went to her as I was taking Pilates classes across the hall, some of the ladies in the class said she was great and I should try a facial. So I did. The room is beautiful, clean, and tranquil and you are always greeted with a smile. It's a little oasis in the middle of Islip. Brabara was able to point out exactly what was going on with my skin and after one facial with a light therapy session I saw results straight away. I was hooked. She doesn't push products, but she will recommend some if you ask her, when she does LISTEN! She carries a variety of different brands, and is able to, off the top of her head tell you exactly what is in each product, what the ingredients do and why it will or won't work for you. I try to go every 6 weeks, if it's possible. I have cut down the amount of products I use on my skin, now I am only using what I get from her, (because I've realized she knows my skin much better than anyone at a beauty counter ever will) and my skin has never looked better. Oh and most definitely ask her about her hyaluronic serum. It's a serious game changer. I'm addicted! I use it as a moisturizer, it hydrates your skin, makes it glow, plumps it up, there's nothing it doesn't do. I can't say enough good things about it!! All I can say is Barabra is now the only person I trust with my face. Once you do to her for a facial you won't settle for one anywhere else!

Once she's given her analysis off we go! She explains everything she's using and what its purpose is. All in her soothing voice with relaxing music playing in the background while you're under your toasty blanket on her comfortable facial bed. I love how she teaches me how to continue taking care of my skin at home. She tells me what products to stay away from and makes other suggestions on what to try. She does offer some of her favorite products to buy but never pushes them on you. Soul Skin is located right on Main Street in Islip. It is so clean and warm feeling that I actually fall asleep in the bed. I am a pretty hyper person and sometimes have difficult relaxing but I'm always at ease when I'm here. I trust her and am 100% comfortable. Today I wished I didn't have to leave lol
