Been coming here for years, seeing Farzaneh. Heaven is being in Hawaii for two weeks and not having…read moreto shave at all! I will be honest with you, the facility isn't the most fancy schmancy, it's not a day spa, but don't be fooled by those places, cause they don't always work. That was what was told to me by a friend who tried somewhere else first, it didn't work, then came here. I have brown hair and fair skin. My understanding of laser hair removal is you need a tech who is experienced working with your skin color and hair type, it matters in hair removal. Mclean Laser Center was recommended to me by a friend with blond hair and fair skin, and a friend with dark skin and dark hair and it worked for both of them. Tips: Park in the lot across the street that doesn't appear to be connected to anything. Don't park by the building, there are so many restrictions, and don't park in a lot for another business on the same side of the road, you aren't allowed and i have had a note left on my car that the next time it will be a ticket. If you don't already have a package, you will be required to pay a deposit. They do match groupon prices. Make sure you aren't taking any antibiotics when you come, and certain medicines that affect the skin (like accutane or retinol (i think?) anything that makes you more sensitive to the sun) cause you can't get laser while on those medicines. Once you make the appointment you will need to confirm it a few days before. Be sure to tip! PS - YES IT DOES HURT!

ZERO. What a JOKE. After struggling to book an appointment…read morethrough their website and they never actually answer their phone. I drove from DC to VA for an appointment, prepared, had filled out all the necessary paperwork online, and was fifteen minutes early. More than happy to wait until my 1:30 appointment time. As I'm sitting in the waiting area, the "nurse" runs out screaming (like an idiot, completely unprofessional manner). "I'm accepted! I'm accepted" and flings herself onto the back of the receptionist. Not apologizing for her ridiculous outburst or bothering to acknowledge me, as I raised my hand and waved hello with a smile. So, I sat... and sat, until the reception comes to tell me, "yeah, it will be like another 30 minute wait, as we thought we'd have to numb you, and we don't have to numb you" --- I said OK,,, and waited. That was until I realized, I'm still the ONLY customer in the "spa" and the "nurse" and receptionist were chit-chatting and acting FOOLISH. I'm gonna wait 30 minutes, for what? You to catch-up on gossip? Nah. It's a pass. The place is lowbrow... cheap chairs and just not up to speed, makes me wonder if they bought their lasers, etc. second-hand. Don't waste your time, there are much better reputable, professional options. I would not trust these two with my skin. Stay away.

I appreciate the fact that I can make my appointments and talk to someone on the phone when doing so. Their system of appointment reminders beforehand is a nice touch.

The entire staff who work here enjoy what they do and that shines through in the way they treat their clients.

I am writing to update my previous review of Dr. Santiago of Glow Plastuc Surgery. When I had…read moresurgery in July of this year I was Extreme happy with my results because I could only see my front and my waistline. But that is no longer the case 5 months later. My previous review, that staff push you to write immediately post surgery with the promise of free lymphatic massage and/or free faja... so of course you write it. But what happens after the initial 3 days post op? A lot of debauchery. You don't hear about the stories of opening 3 times post op. And not receiving medical help while your surgeon goes out of the country. You don't hear about being open and having staff continue to wrap you in a soiled binder which is causing you to open further. You aren't made aware of being stitched repeatedly but not seeing any result. Or receiving conflicting medical care from the surgeon, his staff and then the lymphatic massage therapist that leaves you in a puddle of tears of confusion after paying $13,050 of your hard earned money. No you don't. So, I'm going to show you and tell you. I'm being harassed for an additional $600 from the surgery center stating Dr. Santiago went over during my surgery. I was sent a text message 2 days post op from the Anesthesiologist for an additional $200 for the same reason. My boyfriend was told he needed to pay $300 before I was even wheeled out of Recovery. Oh, and when he returned to retrieve me they told him to prop a side door open and go grab something to eat because they still weren't finished. And when he returned upstairs to the surgery floor he walked down the hall to find an open surgical door where I laid on the table being operated on. I had to seek outside care to have my wounds finally close costing me an additional $800. I've seen no positive change in my back from before the surgery until now, 5 months post op. And according to Dr. Santiago I look good in the front. And he never promised me a flat back. According to him, I have skin and not fat. So, unless he rwmoved skin, there's nothing he can do. But I know that during my consult with Teresa, his point of contact, simply having lipo wouldnt take care of my back. Lipo 360 with tummy tuck and abdominoplasty would. You take a look at the attached pics and tell me what you see? That's right. The same extra back i went in there with. And oh yeah.... i requested my complete medical record. And it looks doctored, is missing pages, and he didnt document all of my medical visita for my openings. Don't do it. RUN! Because it's not fair to lead people on. I went telling them that I wanted to have only 1 back. Meaning have my back rolls removed. And they are still there. I guess I'm just supposed to never wear a backless dress ever according to Santago. Because as he's stated... you look good from the front.​​​​

I'm posting this review for my mother's microblading, as Yelp hid it (make sure you go look at 30…read moreother hidden reviews at the bottom of page!). She also got a hydrafacial and her skin looked amazing after. I have also had BBL laser treatment here which helped reduce sun damage/dark spots! "My experience at Elite Med Spa was fantastic. My daughter surprised me with a session of micro blading to have my eyebrows done. My eyebrows were sparse due to hormone changes and I was very self conscious about them. Very hard to pencil in when you can't see without your glasses and just a pain to do even with a magnifying mirror. I was nervous about the procedure but Fatemeh assured me it would look natural and they do! I'm still getting used to having full beautiful eyebrows again. At first they were really dark but she said after they heal they would be perfect and she was right. She matched my hair color perfectly. I'm so happy with the results and they are so nice there I want to go back and get permanent eyeliner on my next visit!"

This place is legit!…read more I previously had my first treatment at a place in Annandale and did not know how a Laser paramedical spa should carry themselves. A year later, I came here and realized THIS is how things should be done. Front desk explained EVERY SINGLE STEP and provided a long description of what we should feel, expect, and precautions we should take to ensure our face healed properly. Any question we had, our technician answered professionally and also showed compassion in regards of the pain level and discomfort. This is why I waited so long to leave my other review at the other establishment because again, the service was NIGHT & DAY in comparison. Night and day meaning this place is a 5 star and the other is at most a 2 star. No, Yelp did not pay me to write this review haha it's outrageous someone would assume this or even try to message with a law suit. If reviews are written professionally without derogatory terms or insults then do not be scared to be honest!

Pros: - friendly staff. I felt welcomed and very comfortable. - clean office - QUICK! I was in and out in 15 minutes, if that! - great work! I love the results of the laser hair removal. - good price. I purchased a Groupon for 6 sessions, so I had a big discount. But even their regular prices on their website are decent. Cons: - a few times they forgot to laser an area that was included in what I had paid for. At first I did not say anything, but in subsequent sessions I called their attention to it and they lasered the area. Just speak up and they kindly listen and work with you. - a little painful, but it was so quick, plus the results were amazing, so the pain was bearable.

Sue is insanely better. After just one treatment I saw significant results! Also the cooling she has on the laser is top notch, I barely felt anything. Just because two places have the same laser doesn't anything. Provider expertise is what matters (and who has the better cooling attachment). Also, many other places don't properly service their machines, so the laser name alone doesn't mean much. You can ask Sue about all the service she gets routinely done on all her lasers. It's an art and a science, and a lot of the doctor places don't have the art. Sue's been doing it forever and knows what she's doing.
