Lindsey took the time to listen to my concerns and educated me on the process, and when performing the procedure she had such a calm presence and demeanor and made for a more relaxing situation. Lindey helped with lip filler, cheek filler, and Botox. You could tell that patience and comfort are one of Lindsey's top priorities along with precision. I'm so happy my lips didn't bruise!

PLEASE READ…read more At this point it has been more than 2 years since I first met with staff at Zel Skin. It took me a long time to write this because my experience receiving treatments with them was very negative, and it has taken me a long time to recover, both physically and emotionally. For anyone considering treatments with Zel Skin, and in particular, Dr. Adam Schmitt, I would strongly advise you to seek alternate consultations and treatments. Below is the outline of my experience with them. It is difficult for me to write this, but it is important for me to share in case I can prevent this experience for anyone else. In 2020 I came to Zel Skin for tattoo removal. I had a tattoo on the inside of my left forearm, unfortunately my body had a bad reaction to the red ink in the tattoo, and it was a source of ongoing discomfort that I wanted to remove. The clinic told me that they couldn't proceed with conventional laser tattoo removal, because of the risks associated with the red ink being dissolved into my bloodstream, potentially causing a worse reaction. Instead, in consultation with Dr. Brian Zelickson, I was advised to have the tattoo removed surgically in a series of procedures. The plan was to slice out a strip of skin from the middle of the tattoo (which was about 3.5 inches at its longest and 2 inches at its widest), stitch the skin back together, let the wound fully heal, and then repeat that procedure twice more until there was no more tattoo remaining. The first one of these surgeries went smoothly, and the recovery from that initial procedure gave me confidence in the clinic and Dr. Adam Schmitt. Unfortunately, that confidence was misplaced. After the initial surgery, Dr. Adam Schmitt recommended that we proceed with only one additional surgery, rather than following the initial plan. He thought he could remove the rest of the skin with tattoo ink on it with only one more procedure. This was appealing to me because it meant less surgery and faster healing. Unfortunately, this was overly ambitious and even dangerous, and Dr. Adam Schmitt struggled to stitch the skin back together after the tattoo was removed. I was sent home with a large open wound, and inadequate self-care instructions. A nurse that I know in my personal life was appalled that I was sent home in that condition and recommended home visiting wound care. When I asked what was going wrong and why the surgery hadn't proceeded as expected, Dr. Adam Schmitt told me that forearm skin is not as stretchy as other parts of the body. This seems like a fact that he should have taken into account before recommending we proceed with a second surgery removing more skin than originally planned. A couple weeks later, on the recommended timeline, I returned to Zel Skin in order for them to try to fully close the surgical wound they had left me with in the prior visit. Dr. Adam Schmitt continued to struggle to close the gap, and even resorted to removing fatty tissue in order to get the skin to close. This has left my left forearm with a noticeably different shape and size than my right forearm. Although the stitches were able to connect after this follow-up procedure, the skin was so tightly stretched that it began to cut off circulation to my hand. This necessitated reopening the wound in the same visit and restitching. The procedure took over four hours. It was clear Dr. Adam Schmitt and the secretary at ZelSkin were clearing his schedule as the procedure went on and on. When I got home, the wound continued to burst through the stitches and wouldn't stay closed. Please see the attached picture of the final healing, it shows where the stitches continued to burst, tear, and where new scar tissue was formed. It was at this point that my confidence in Zel Skin and Dr. Adam Schmitt was fully exhausted and I began to consult with a different dermatologist and medical team to help me physically recover from this experience and try to get my forearm into a presentable state for my wedding scheduled later that year. The skin was traumatized and flaring up accordingly. This timeline would not have been a concern if not for the disastrous results from Dr. Adam Schmitt's irresponsible approach to my tattoo removal. Later, in reviewing my patient records, I noticed that Zel Skin never submitted costs of the second surgery to my insurance carrier. To me this indicates that they knew that they made a serious mistake in implementing these procedures (which they would not admit to me directly), and didn't want any details leaving their clinic. The records are vague all over actually. Going into this process, I was fully aware that there would be some level of scarring after the tattoo removal was completed. However, the botched surgery, poor judgment by Dr. Adam Schmitt, and Zel Skin's efforts to minimize my concerns led to multiple painful surgeries, unnecessary levels of trauma, and excessive scarring (including the changed shape of my forearm,

Conversation was zero. I got ready for the sugaring, she got started, and about halfway through I mentioned how this was the most painful sugaring experience I've ever had. It was painful because Jenn was using wax. She didn't bother to check on her appointments or confirm with me what I wanted. Maybe if she had put her phone down before we got started, I wouldn't have had such a horrendous experience. We finished out the waxing and just a few days later, I had hair because it all was broken off. I've never had my lashes tinted or lifted before this, but they are basically crimped upward, not curled. I have nothing to compare to, but I'm guessing she just did a poor job. She also remarked how "coarse" my lashes were, which was insulting. All around bad experience. I would not recommend her nor will I ever go back.

My research has piqued my interest to trying Rhonda Allison products for ethnic skin. But Megan has sold me on giving her a try for "results driven" facials. Megan impressed me initially by sharing her knowledge and reasoning behind the products used. She definitely embodies the definition of a customized facial based off whatever reason brought you in her studio mixed with the recommendations that she has from what she notices. I appreciate this honesty. I personally do not use 3x mirrors because I can't handle what I might see. So I expect my esthetician to manage the horror and make me have Gabrielle-Union-like skin without having to drink a gallon of water a day. Is this too unreasonable? Apparently not, because Megan has convinced me that she can deliver. For my custom facial she used a high frequency wand to zap my milia and other skin issues. It was such a warming feeling to find her using this machine because I JUST purchased one but was afraid to use it because I didn't want to shock myself or cause any skin damage. She eagerly showed me how to use the device and informed me that it was a recommendation she usually gave to her ethnic clients, as well. Score for Heather for being proactive! I knew all my Amazon impulse buys would come in handy one day. In addition to an amazing facial, she gives neck, shoulder, and FOOT massages. I have never had a foot massage as part of my facial so give me a second while I rejoice... (Hallelujah!!!) For logistics, Aesthetic Skin Salon is located inside Sola Salons (next to The Original Pancake House). GPS will probably send you to Target but it is located behind the Target shopping center.
