    Before (on a good day)
    Natalia P.

    This place gave me my face back, not to mention all the time and money used to cover up and battle my acne! I couldn't be more grateful. I'd always had great skin until 2 years ago when I tried a new cleanser and broke out like crazy. I went to dermatologists, aestheticians, and laser clinics - thousands of dollars down the drain and my skin got worse and worse. The dermatologist prescribed stuff that clogged my skin up and dried it out, and then finally said my only path forward is Accutane. With my health, I knew that wasn't for me. Thank god my aesthetician referred me to HAS. They explained how acne worked, so I laid off inflammatory foods - dairy and sugar. Over many weeks we rebuilt my skin barrier, cleared up the acne and dark spots, and now my skin is more radiant than ever. The staff is knowledgeable, flexible and caring. The facilities are clean and inviting. The confidence I now feel is worth all the time and money to me, and I'm so glad I invested into something that actually truly works!

    After starting the program my skin was anger. Way worse than my initial visit.

    Unfortunately, the texture of my skin improved but my acne increased. I never suffered from cystic acne until I overloaded my skin with products. I was told my skin was purging but this was 6 weeks into treatment. I stopped using some products and my skin cleared. Not all products were terrible but it was too much for my skin. Good luck!

    Failed extractions.

    Faithful client of Cheryl's for nearly 5 years. Now under new ownership. Yesterday was my second visit under the new owner and I spent the very last dollar they will ever get from me. I didn't get the private room nor esthetician I requested 4 weeks ago. That was my first red flag. To top it off, I have 4 brand new scars from failed extractions 3 days before Christmas. I should have followed my gut and left. Unfortunately, not everyone is trained to work on people of color. Cheryl ran a tight ship but she took care of me. I am sad she is no longer in the skincare business. Enter at your own risk.

    Before and After.  Yes it's real and yes it's me!

    Cheryl changed my life! I have had acne since I was like in the 6th grade. You name it, I've tried it. Proactive. Antibiotics. Aloe Vera. You tube techniques. All sorts of products, pills - and nothing worked! Not only did I suffer from acne, but from hyper pigmentation. (Ugly scars). Cheryl did a lengthy consultation and analysis of my skin and told me what I needed to do to fix it. She is caring, but she is strict. You must follow her rules to the letter and not make up your own routines. Simply put, do what she says and your acne will be gone. She knows what the heck she is talking about! Now my skin is clear and I am proud (and thankful) that I can leave the house without make up caked on top of my scars - cause I don't have any!!! The pic i have posted is REAL. It is my face before Cheryl (owner) and after Cheryl. And my acne is gone! Thank you Cheryl. I love you!

    The best life advice I could give anyone is that dermatologists don't really care about acne patients. They prescribe you some doxycycline and/or spironolactone, blame it on your hormones and send you on your way. If it does help the acne it is only temporarily, and next time it comes back it will come back even worse. Skip the bull$h!t and go to Cheryl. This woman has a true passion for helping people with acne. She and her team will bend over backwards, work late hours/weekends, and do anything they can to speed up your results. The truth though is that acne takes time to heal, and once you tell your mind to be patient you will feel a lot better. Easier said than done, but Cheryl is there not only as your specialist but also as your mental support...reassuring you to stick with it every step of the way. Yes, the skincare regime is strict and isn't cheap. But it is a good value for what you get; the knowledge and tools to keep your face clear. No more prescription drugs that don't work.

It was a little hard to find but her daughter guided me there on the phone while I was lost. Initially it was a little off putting as I thought they might not be as sanitary because the wax was dark colored. I later found out she doesn't use wax but sugar. This process reduces irritation to the skin & is less painful. In my 35 years of life, I have only been waxed once when I was 19 for a pool party. I vowed never to do it again because of all the pain & skin irritation I experienced afterwards. There was minimal pain & absolutely no skin issues after this procedures. I was in & out in less than 20mins. Highly recommend, especially for avid waxers. ENTER FREELY, they've been Approved:)

    Where do I start! I was struggling with a recent acne outbreak that was getting the best of me, I…read morehad tried all the products friends, family, and social media was suggesting. However, I was not getting any results, if anything the acne was getting worst by the day I felt. I was searching for clinics on Yelp and other sites, I actually had a consultation with a dermatologist out of Houston and they could not provide a clear plan of care. So I was discouraged, not to mention the cost impact during COVID was a lot to think about. Gladly I waited and continued my search, low and behold I came stumbled across Medispa Institute! From the first day of calling to set up an appointment they were very kind and understanding to my availability. Upon arriving on the day if my appointment I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the office. They had such a relaxed and welcoming vibe, welcoming with smiles! They assessed my acne and provided a clear plan of care that has produced absolutely amazing results! They are really a game changer, so much that I have never left a review for any business but I am now! Thanks so much to the Medispa Team!

    I can not express how happy I am that I came across a YouTube video for MediSpa Institute for laser…read moretattoo removal for eyeliner. I had semipermanent eyeliner done last year & it was horribly botched and the touch up for my eyebrows done the same day was botched as well. Unfortunately I couldn't see the results until it healed. I thought I was going to have to live with it forever. I was searching everywhere & couldn't find anyone in state that had the corneal shields to protect your eyes during the procedure for the eyeliner removal. Let me tell you, after seeing that video & seeing that it was from a place in Houston I was beyond excited. After finding out that the specialist there had over 15 years of experience I was very pleased. And when you call to book your appointment you will speak with Cindy, she is fantastic & even nicer in person. Back to having your eyelid tattoos lasered, sounds extremely scary?? I can't even begin to tell you how scared I was, literally over almost nothing. I've heard all of the stories of how it hurts worse than the tattoo. It was over in 5 minutes & honestly wasn't really painful. They numb you up before the procedure. I can't even put into words how happy I am with how much the tattoo had faded with only one treatment and it is only about 5 months old which makes it harder to remove than an older, faded tattoo. If you are considering laser tattoo removal I would highly recommend MediSpa Institute! Coming from someone who had such little faith with this eyeliner that says a lot!! They are AWESOME!!!! Next will be the eyebrows! In the pictures I posted, the eyes are flip-flipped from right to left. First picture is the left eye you see first & in the second picture it is the right eye you see first. Just an FYI so you can compare, that was the first day. I am 4 days out & it's gotten even lighter.

Light snacks, like cranberries and nuts are provided along with hot tea options, and citrus flavored water. The space is very nice. There are locker rooms with plush spa robes and complementary slippers. The locker room has two steam showers if you want to wash yourself after your massage. They also provide hair products to try as well as a Dyson hair dryer. I was definitely very impressed with the luxurious feel of the spa, however, was turned off by the receptionist who checked me in - her robotic, transactional nature was starkly juxtaposed against the warmth of the spa. I noticed she was the same with all customers so it wasn't personal but interaction with her was unsettling. I booked the 60min signature hydrafacial and the esthetician was welcoming and willingly customized my facial based on my requests. No major issues encountered but I noticed we started 10 minutes late and ended 10 minutes early so I thought marketing it as a 60min experience was a bit misleading. Also note the 60min Signature Hydrafacial does not include any hand/neck massages nor boosters nor light therapy so the $285 price was much more expensive than my usual spa. I will not return for another facial but may try massage in the future. We also booked pedicures and again the space is beautiful!! We were given a palette to select colors and the ladies were extremely friendly! My toes came out adorable! I found the seating to be very uncomfortable for a short person despite many pillows placed behind me for support so I honestly struggled to enjoy the experience but the space was very nicely decorated and clean looking. We were offered tea and snacks at the beginning as well. Overall, this was a very nice spa. I found it fairly expensive and overpriced, but I recognize beautiful spaces have a cost and that's what I should've expected in the River Oaks area. There is complementary validated parking!
