**BEWARE** A MUST READ-BAD BUSINESS**
I normally don't write reviews but the truth must be told, so no one else goes through this. Below are "facts" that transpired with this horrid experience:
-I had a consultation with Isabel in the beginning of the year, for Fibroblast, & expressed my concerns on what I wanted help with: bags/lines around the eyes, a hole on my cheek & dark spots. She promised that Fibroblast would get rid of it ALL & everything. Price:$1,200 for face/eyes & $700 for neck. This included a touch up. I decided to come here because of that & Isabel was a nurse. -1st treatment in April was at her house (did not see a difference) & was instructed that I needed to come back in a month to get Dermaplane, $175 to get all the dead skin off. I did.
-2nd touch up treatment was for 8-7-21 (in the shop) & on 10-4-21, informed Isabel that I just finished antibiotics . Asked her if it would be an issue & if I should still come. She stated: Yes! It should be OK!! Nothing to worry about! -It was horrible as it burned so badly (due to the antibiotics) that she could not finish, had to stop & had to reschedule. Came back on 9-3-21 to finish the touch up. Isabel then told me that they are no longer doing touch ups. I expressed my concerns on this being bad business as this was included in my price & was part of my decision to come here. Finally, she reluctantly did it. I was then instructed to come back in a couple of weeks for a HydraFacial w/dermaplaning for $250 to help with the dark patches & asked me if I wanted to leave a $50 deposit, to lock in the price! I have never had to put a down payment on a facial!
-10-16-21 had the HydraFacial w/dermaplaning $250 & was informed I needed to pay another $50 to speak to the nurse on the iPad. She was working on another client at the time, with the door open, while telling me this. They said I needed to come back every 1-2 weeks for this same facial to help with the dark spots! I also expressed my concerns at that time that my dark patches on my face are now worse & the lines & hole are still the same. I was told they were getting a new serum that would help & to give it more time. -Next day, texted Isabel, told her that the dark patches got worse after the facial. She had me send a pic. She told me that the serum used would help it.
-Waited 2 weeks, in that time, my dentist, a store, an esthetician & friends asked me what had happened to my cheeks, as my spots were darker! I was so upset, texted Isabel, told her what had happened & asked what she was going to do to fix this. After all I just spent $2,345.00 for my skin to look worse! Her response was we have no control on how melasma reacts. But in the beginning she assured me that Fibroblast gets rid of everything! She said to buy a brightening serum for $145 (more money!). I told her I would not pay another penny as she made my skin worse! She offered me some samples & asked what my dermatologist said! So now I am to spend more money on a serum & go to a dermatologist to fix what she made worse! This was the worst, most unprofessional customer service, as she did not even call me or have me come in to see what she could to rectify the issue. I called up 3 Med Spas, consulted with my professional estheticians and all have stated the following: 1. Any esthetician and/or nurse knows that you never do a procedure with heat if a client just had taken antibiotics. 2. An esthetician should never promise that a procedure will get rid of ALL of your issues. They should take their time and explain in detail all the possible outcomes. They should make a plan of what is going to be done. 3. If an esthetician makes your skin worse, they should have the professional courtesy to have the client come back in to see what they can do to rectify the issue. Not just pawn them off to a dermatologist and offer samples.4. A professional esthetician will not compare you to any other client as each client is different. They should focus on that client's issues and concerns. 5. All charges should be discussed in detail up front so the client knows how to plan and is not surprised when unknown charges are thrown at them.
-I went to 2 estheticians, different spas, who know my skin & both said: my dark patches on my cheeks were worse & now I have broken capillaries on my cheeks, which I never did before! Isabel would have seen this if she had the courtesy to have me come in & see the damage. But all she did was text & basically blew me off, as she already got her money. I paid a lot of money for my skin to be worse. I have learned to do more homework before doing a procedure. If you keep expressing how unhappy you are, they don't have you come in, blow you off, and if they keep throwing more charges at you, RUN! She ruined my skin & now I have to go somewhere else to pay more money to get it fixed. I hope they learned a lesson here, as I sure did and so have many other people, who asked what happened to my cheeks and where did I go! read more
