Answered a model call via. Instagram for Nurse Trinh Dang. Initially wanted just chin filler but…read moreafter detailed consultation we decided to do both chin and cheek filler. We spread out 3 different appointments. My first appointment was with Dr. Singh where we did 1ml of Juvederm volume XC in chin. Photos below show results of the first appointment 2 weeks after injection. My second and third appointment were done with Trinh. Second appointment we focused on adding projection to chin and smoothing out chin shadow using 1ml of Juvederm XC. I loved my experience with both service providers. However, I will be a lifelong client of Trinh's due to her honest, professional approach. You can tell she puts a lot of time and education into her practice and the results speak for themselves. The after photos (right) are after 1ml of Restalyn in the cheeks. I told her how I felt the right side of my face was much heavier than my left, and corrected by adding more volume which immediately gave me more facial symmetry, which is exactly what I was looking for. Trinh is also extremely communicative on social media and is easily reachable. She assured me that she is available whenever I had concerns about aftercare such as bruising or pain (which I had neither) This was my first time getting facial filler and was initially nervous about looking "too done", but by spacing out the appointments we were able to get the results we wanted without dramatic differences. Trinh did not push any treatments or additional filler on me, since I told her I wanted to preserve my natural features. I highly recommend the services here at Excel and will be coming back whenever I feel the need to get more work done!

Everyone else has claimed to know how to give me what I want, however have proven to not have the…read moretechnique needed for my face/desired look. I naturally have tiny (super thin, long, and almost curled in lips), my desired look has never been a huge voluminous pout. I have always strived for a natural look to fit my face, alongside that natural outward lip curl-if you have small lips or have an interest in lip injections then I'm sure you know what I'm referring to. Before I found Carrie, I had come out of a couple places with little sausage porn star looking lips, haha it was bad. But ever since I met Carrie I haven't stepped foot near anyone else. She will forever be my go to. Her work is amazing and I trust her professional opinion. Not to mention how nice and understanding she is. The receptionist is also hands down extremely nice and it's always a pleasure to get a chance to chat with her. On a final note, I have never felt pressured into any services I wasn't interested in or as if they secretly wanted to sell me on something. If you are interested in anything, especially if you are a first timer, I highly recommend this salon, and Carrie.

Hi please! To every women who is searching to get fillers please make it right. This is not the…read moreplace let me start by they charge a fee of $75 to save the appointment and when you get there they want to do the treatment when you're going to get a consultation from my experience. I have nothing to say about receptionist great customer service she does explain step by step and that the $75 fee goes towards your treatment if you decide to get treatment. Also Carrie let me say about Carrie at first everything was going well I explained what I was looking for in my filler and that I did some research and I live close by and price seemed fine with me. After reading some reviews I decided to give it a chance but now I realized that there's no recent reviews of 2021 only 2020 and that is my fault. Anyway so I was at the consultation and Carrie wanted to do filler that same day I said I wasn't ready I didn't planned to get it that day so she said okay well the $75 fee is going to be lost because we have said is towards treatment I'm like well when I called the receptionist mentioned is to save appointment and get consultation to see if I'm a candidate for filler so she asked receptionist and she said yes that's right I did say it goes toward treatment the $75 are not lost. So I booked my appointment for the following week and I arrive to my appointment and carrie had just seen me a week ago and I understand many customers but she didn't remember a thing about previous appointment and she gave me paper work all over again to fill out I mentioned to her I had already filled all this paperwork and she seemed completely lost. This is where I should of stepped back and not go forward because she couldn't even find my file when I had just gone a week ago. She finally found it and said yes now I see we had consultation and we said what you're looking for in results of your filler. I said I decided to go with a full syringe of filler and she said okay that's great I recommend juviderm and I agreed. So we went ahead and she did the filler process was easy and great I never imagined that it was going to be so smooth but now this is the results where I'm not happy it was a waste of $699 I'm going to make it clear for all this women trying to pay a good penny for beauty make your research wise and look for recent reviews and always try to go somewhere where you know someone has gone and gotten results. So I payed my price for the filler and no results at all I have to remind you I got a full syringe of juviderm. I had to get results no matter how small my lips were. And it's so disappointing because I emailed carrie and it's been over a week and no response yet I explained to her about the results and I send her a picture of the before and after and they never responded it's okay I wasted the $699 for a full syringe of juviderm but please women make a good choice of where you're getting your treatment please. I will post the picture of the before and after horrible results and I have a small bump due to the filler never went away and its been over a month now. DON'T WASTE $699 OF YOUR MONEY. PLEASE DON'T. MAKE YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE GOING TO A PLACE LIKE THIS ONE.

Katelyn is a queen!…read more The consult was very thorough. I have had Botox before, but this was a lot more meaningful. The needle was a lot smaller than I have had. She also spread out the units. I went back 2 weeks later and she analyzed the process. She noticed things I had not seen. I had one more unit. The lobby has the best snacks. They also offer you a coffee from Pour Decisions next door.

It's like you're sleeping on a cloud while getting a facial - just WOW!…read more If you're thinking about treating yourself, stop thinking and book the appointment--Pore Decisions Med Spa is hands down one of the best self-care experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. The space is tranquil, clean, and beautifully curated to instantly calm your mind and body. I came in for a HydraFacial with dermaplaning, red light therapy, and a soothing face mask, and let me just say: WOW. Every step of the treatment was done with such care and expertise. My skin was glowing by the end--but the experience was so much more than skin deep. Let's talk about that facial bed... it was honestly next level. So plush and comfortable, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. Not exaggerating--I totally fell asleep mid-treatment (and I never nap during facials!). The whole session felt like a peaceful escape from the outside world. What I love most is that Pore Decisions truly understands that self-care is essential--not a luxury--and they make you feel that from the second you walk in. No matter your age or stage of life, taking time to nurture your body and mind is one of the best investments you can make in yourself. After just one visit, I left feeling radiant, relaxed, and more connected to myself. I can't recommend Pore Decisions Medspa enough--this is your sign to slow down, take care of YOU, and book that facial. Trust me, you deserve it.

But navigating peri-menopause, heavy depression, and sudden weight loss all at once completely drained me. The weight loss made my face drop and lose so much volume, and I was feeling so old and ugly that I honestly regretted losing the weight in the first place. Louise has been an absolute angel through all of it. She actually listens, validates every single insecurity, and takes such incredible care of me. I've done 2 sessions of Sculptra and 2 sessions of fillers with maryam and jamieson. Sculptra is so gradual and looks completely natural. It's not about changing your face; it's just rebuilding what you lost. I know it's an investment, but it is so worth it. We waste so much money on daily coffee and little things without a second thought why not put that toward feeling good in our own skin. Even my husband was totally against me getting anything done at first because he was terrified I'd look fake. But seeing how natural, fresh, and glowing my skin turned out, he completely gets it now and is 100% on board with me keeping up with it. Seeing the results first hand totally changed my perspective, and I finally understand why people do this. Waking up and feeling like myself again has been life changing. If you're struggling and need someone who genuinely cares, go see Skin Refine you will be in the best hands. Not to mention staff and atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly. They make me feel welcomed and youthful lol.

I've always been hesitant to go to a medspa because of what I've read and heard about how pushy some businesses can be with new clients. I also felt intimidated that I would be talked down to because I have only researched treatments and have had no prior experience. I'm really thankful to say that my experience at Skin Refine Medspa has been extremely positive. I felt seen, heard and understood. Most of all I felt safe! I've been going to Skin Refine since January of last year and I absolutely loved my experience so much, I've been returning since and recommending them to my friends! In fact, I just went in today and felt confident to schedule a new treatment for myself. Thank you to the Skin Refine staff for making me feel safe and secure in my own skin. I am grateful for the ability to ask questions without committing to anything until I'm ready. I feel beautiful and so happy with my results!

She is so friendly and made everything feel comfortable right away. She lathered me up with lidocaine and really made sure I was prepped and comfortable before starting. You can tell she actually cares and is not just going through the motions. Dr. Natarajan who did the micro needling was amazing. She was very thorough, attentive, and took the time to explain everything without ever making me feel rushed. I am not great with pain and was honestly a little nervous, but she was so gentle and comforting the whole time. The pain was very minimal, which I really appreciated. Also worth noting they offer the PDNR treatment and it is 100 percent worth it. It really takes the results to another level. Overall just a really solid experience.

She is very thorough in her evaluations and reports.
