After my dermatologist prescribed special D-light therapy for my eczema and related skin…read moreannoyances, I started looking for an alternative to their very expensive, clinic-provided, tanning booth sessions. Lo and behold, Bella Body and Sol, in the Fairhaven end of Bellingham Washington, has two of these same special tanning booths, which they promote as "D-Light Therapy" (as in "Vitamin D"). They also have very competitive (aka generous) pricing options for tanning sessions. I've been coming here for almost 2 years, and love the results! I feel wonderful, my skin feels and looks much better, and my dermatologist and primary doc tell me: "Whatever you're doing, keep it up - your skin is much healthier, and we see no melanoma issues". Living in the Pacific Northwest, I don't always get as much sunlight as I need or want. I used to look like I visited a "paling booth" until those special 2 weeks after July 5th, when the sun comes out (just kidding - it's at least 3 weeks). Bella's D-Light tanning booths not only help me feel good, but I end up with a great tan. The only side-effect from coming here is having to tell folks that, "No, I didn't just get back from Hawaii". Or else, making up a good travel-to-an-exotic-locale story... Heather Gauf, spa owner, intradermal cosmetic technician, and all around wonder-woman, describes her business perfectly: "Bella Body & Sol is a unique combination D-Light Therapy Tanning Salon & Organic Spa". She and her team of talented estheticians, massage therapists, and front desk staff do an amazing job of helping all of their clients feel welcomed, pampered, and well cared-for, in an inviting and relaxing environment. I strongly recommend Bella Body and Sol to anyone looking for ways to heal many of their dermal dilemmas. And you can also take advantage of their many other services to help you look and feel great!

Ok so the review I thought I was going to leave last night is different than what I'm leaving now!…read more Yesterday I got a spray tan. I'm naturally very fair and going on vacation. I've had good and bad spray tans before, never with d-light. I conveyed that I was concerned about turning orange. Heather was so delightful and comforting. I get my spray on. I look crazy. It's purplish gray. Heather said Trust the process. I drove home. I'm streaky, I'm sticky, I'm frustrated, I'm worried. 3 hours later I shower off and I have a very light greyish tan. I was initially a little disappointed it wasn't very warm. I thought "bummer this was not worth the money." I go to sleep on it, wake up....Bronze (for me) goddess!!!!! I don't know if it was the lights I was standing in the night before or if it continued to develop overnight. It's a warm tan but not crazy and not streaky at all. I love it! Trust the process! Thanks Heather!

Wow. Where to start about Sarah? I did not plan originally to have my makeup done professionally…read morefor my wedding until my hair stylist suggested it on my practice session. I was planning on doing myself. I don't wear a lot of makeup anyway, I can do it myself. Yadda yadda yadda. This is one of those decisions that in hindsight I would never question again. I wasn't really interested in futzing with fake eyelashes on my big day. We paid for a good photographer and even though I have good skin, every single imperfection and discoloration and anything will show up on the high quality photos and BOY AM I GLAD I sprung for getting my makeup done. I can tell as my photographer took pictures of me before and during my makeup application and I saw flaws and spots and pinkness in my skin (around my nose etc) that I never realized was there. All of that vanished under flawless makeup Sarah applied. Sarah took my suggestions for color and ran with them. She is meticulous and has the utmost attention to detail. She does not rush. She does not over do it. In the end my makeup was FLAWLESS and added beautiful shades of color to my face without looking like I was wearing too much. I have never felt so beautiful in my life. Her application of fake lashes will put any other makeup artist's to shame! I couldn't even tell where my lashes were and where the fake lashes were upon scrutinizing in the mirror up close. They would have stayed on for DAYS. So would the rest of the makeup. She uses MAC/high quality waterproof that will not come off in rain or with the inevitable tears, etc. On a side note, she is just the type of person you'll want on your big day. You really feel like she is focusing on every detail and she is not rushing or distracted. She really makes you feel like she is dedicated to doing her best work for you and 100% focused on you. She was early to our appointment. I could go on and on. Sarah has a working relationship with Honey Salon and can do makeup in their *beautiful* space. Very convenient as I did both my practice sessions and my big day hair and makeup in the same spot. She charges a fair price - you really get what you pay for with this one. Just hire her for your event. You will not regret it.

The procedure included an upper blepharoplasty, platysmaplasty of my neck, and SMAS facelift. In addition, I underwent an CO2 laser treatment. Prior to these procedures. I had a meeting with another plastic surgeon in Del mar, California. His estimate was startling and well beyond what I could afford. I then went to see Dr. Lichtenberger and he explained to me that I didn't need to undergo unnecessary procedures to get what I was looking for. Instead, he felt that I could attain a natural look and that's exactly what he did for me at a reasonable cost. The office staff at Life Aesthetic Center, including Erin, Debbie and Dana, made me feel so much at home and so comfortable while undergoing the initial consultation, the preoperative appointment and finally the procedure and follow-up appointments, putting me at ease with lots of great information. Dr. Lichtenberger is one of the most sincere, patient and truly caring people I have ever met. He is an outstanding listener, and I never felt like I was asking a stupid question. Despite my nervousness prior to the procedures, he said that was normal and on the day of my procedures, he put me at ease the entire time. His surgical staff was also top-notch and I am grateful to them as well. We here in Bellingham are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Lichtenberger in our community. I am so happy with my results as I heal more and more every day and can't wait to see my end results in the next few months!

The receptionist Brenda told me I would need three months of chiropractor service, which I did. After four months I called back and asked Brenda if I could get a consultation with one of the doctors, she then rudely while I was still speaking put me on hold. When she came back she said she didnt have a referral from a doctor. I then tried to explain that I had the Xrays and visits to the chiropractor, she then said I would also need 12 months of documentation from a doctor. I was shocked since I wasn't told that before. She said that it was required by my insurance. I immediately called my insurance where they told me it was not a requirement I even had the insurance rep call Brenda. When the insurance lady called me back she was stunned how Brenda was acting even though she explained to her that a year of documentation was not a requirement. I sincerely hope that the doctors know what a disservice this woman is doing for their business. I have read other reviews that are not good. I will not only not be going to this office but I will tell everyone I know what a bad experience I had.

I have never actually been here for an appointment. I called to set up a neurotoxin appointment but…read morethe person on the phone had absolutely no clue what neurotoxin was... and it just alarmed me that the staff is not educated in the most basic way for the most basic injectable knowledge.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after giving Frontier Dermatology multiple opportunities to…read moreaddress my concerns directly, I feel it's important to share my experience. Before scheduling a cyst removal procedure, I specifically asked whether it would be covered by my insurance. I was told the office would verify my benefits and let me know before scheduling if there were any issues. I later received a call stating that it was covered, so I moved forward with the procedure. Instead, I was surprised with an approximately $800 bill because the charges were applied to my deductible. At no point was I provided with an estimate of my financial responsibility or told that "covered by insurance" could still mean I would owe hundreds of dollars out of pocket. When I contacted both Frontier Dermatology and my insurance company, neither was able to resolve the issue, and my insurance representative even stated that the provider should have explained the deductible before the procedure. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of my experience. During my follow-up appointment to have the stitches removed, the provider commented several times that she was having difficulty removing them. Before leaving, I specifically asked whether everything had been removed, and I was told, "I'm pretty sure I got it all." One area never healed correctly. I returned to the office because I believed a stitch had been left behind. After examining the area, including having a physician take a look, I was told they couldn't find anything and that it might just be an irritated hair follicle. Several months later, the same piece of stich finally worked its way to the surface. I scheduled another appointment--this time at a sister location because my regular office couldn't get me in promptly. When I arrived, I learned my appointment had been changed from a nurse practitioner to a physician without notifying me beforehand, and I was required to pay a $60 copay. The physician immediately confirmed what I had suspected all along: a stitch had, in fact, been left behind from the original stitch removal and removed it during that visit which I was told I wouldn't be charged for, yet months later I'm paying for their mistake. I don't believe patients should be charged to correct a complication caused by incomplete follow-up care, especially after raising the concern months earlier. I filed a formal complaint with Frontier Dermatology requesting a review of the situation, a refund of the copay for the corrective visit, and assurance that I would not receive additional charges related to removing the retained stitch. Staff assured me someone would get back to me quickly. It has now been more than a week, and I have not received a phone call, an email, or any acknowledgment of my complaint. Mistakes can happen in any medical practice. What matters is how those mistakes are handled. My frustration comes not only from the billing issues and the retained stitch, but also from the lack of communication and accountability afterward. Make sure you have them sit down with you to review costs, insurance coverage before agreeing to any procedure or you'll be in for an unwelcome surprise!
