So today has been my 2nd experience at Secrets (Restylane lip fillers) and I have been so very impressed with Dianne and her amazing Team each time!! I found the location through Groupon and my first appt with them was in Novemer 2025 (I booked the same service as today) and I was impressed with how nicely I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I had been to one other location (not affiliated with Secrets) and I received a very luke warm acknowledgement when I walked in, so being greeted so kindly by the staff at Secrets immediately put me at ease.
Then I met with Dianne - she has been so awesome and knowledgeable. She really took her time to do a legit consultation and patiently answered my millions of questions. She really made the experience seem like I was just hanging out with my best friend, who just so happened to also be injecting my lip filler (lol). Anyway, Dianne is also great with advising her clients to schedule post-procedure follow up appts (about two wks out) to see how the filler has settled, answer any questions and do a final massage and assessment to make sure the filler is nicely balanced and settled into the proper places. The very first place I had gone to in May 2025 did not offer these visits (at least not in my experience) and so needless to say I was put further at ease in her care and expertise in this thoughtful approach of checking back with her clients to make sure they're happy with their result. I experienced zero bruising or pain the following day after my injections and pretty much all of the swelling resolved within 2-3 days afterwards (just in time for the work week). My lips were everything I wanted out of the visit! Her injection technique is quite unlike what I had experienced at the other med spa I had gone to previously in May 2025. I received so many compliments from my girlfriends at work at how natural and flattering to my face it turned out (including my COO there, who also dabbles in filler and botox, complimented highly!).
So, I went for my 2nd visit today (6/20/26) for a little "top off" and was again so kindly greeted by her amazing Team as soon as I walked in the door. My visit with Dianne today exceeded my expectations just as it had the first time I was there! She actually remembered the little personal tid bits I told her about me in our first chat back in November and again I felt like I was just hanging with my bestie She took the time prior to my injections to discuss what I wanted to achieve and show her where I felt I needed a little extra enhancement. Again, her technique is amazing!! I dont know how she does it but I have zero pain or bruising, I do have minimal swelling, but that's just to be expected and it's actually pretty mild considering I just had it done. I even went out to a last minute lunch in Oak Brook with a cpl friends about an hour afterwards - I didn't even bat an eye, or feel self conscious, that I had just come from a procedure appt. I cant wait to see how it settles in and will try to remember to edit this post with before and after pics.
I'm pretty damn picky and critical when it comes to who I go to for any services I'm willing to put some bucks down for, but I will hands down keep going back to Secrets for any aesthetics related service as long as Dianne and her Team are there!
