I always look…read moreforward to my appointments with her because she is so knowledgeable, helpful, delightful, and incredibly easy to talk to. She takes the time to answer questions, explain treatments, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. I recently had a Hydrafacial with Natalie, and the results were fantastic. My skin felt incredibly clean, refreshed, and rejuvenated immediately afterward. I noticed a visible difference right away, and I even received compliments on how beautiful and radiant my skin looked. One of the best feelings was being able to go without makeup and still feel confident in my skin. If you're looking for someone who truly knows skincare and delivers amazing results, I highly recommend Natalie. She is simply the best!

Almost two months ago I got the BBL laser done here and was left with a very large blister. Now I…read moream using scar cream over that area and praying that the big red spot on my face is not a permanent scar. My eyes and hairline were also negatively affected by the process being improperly and unsafely done. A little more about my experience: When I arrived to the office I was asked to sign in on an iPad. The iPad was gross and smeared with fingerprints. I couldn't find any hand sanitizer. I was taken back to the room and numbing cream was applied. I was asked if I was ever able to get a tan and I told no, that I only burned. The person who would be lasering me was asking these questions to determine the suitability of my skin for this laser and how sensitive my skin would be, which should have helped guide her in choosing the correct settings on the laser. I signed the consent. It disclosed the risks, including blistering. I had read online that small blisters may occur but large blisters were rare, and would likely indicate significant skin damage and suggest the operator of the laser had chosen settings too strong for your skin type. The woman put the eye protection on, which had an elastic cord to go around the head. She did not use it, but laid the eye protection across my eyes. I could still see a ton of light and tried to adjust them. She said "Oh yeah these don't really fit everybody." Should have RUN out of this office at this point. Allowing eyes to be exposed to lasers can have devastating effects, including permanent visual alterations. Everytime I look in the mirror, I curse myself for staying that day. The woman completed the laser treatment and gave me her card (which I lost) to contact her if I had any concerns or questions over the weekend. When I got home, I was very red, which was to be expected. My eyes were tearing a lot, especially the right one. It was very odd - my right eyeball was sore (yes, the eyeball, itself). When I blinked I could feel the soreness. I was very concerned about this, so I investigated online and learned these were symptoms of eye damage from the laser. I told myself if it didn't I'd make an appointment to be seen by an optometrist and if it worsened at all, I'd go to the ER. As advised, I applied some hyaluronic acid based lotion. I carefully applied it in front of the mirror but some of the hair at my temple got into the lotion, so I pushed it out of the way, and the hair completely detached from my scalp. I then realized the laser had gone too close to my hairline. Now, almost two months later, I have a spot where my hair is growing back. By now it was 1.5 hours after the lasering and I noticed a large blister on my chin - about the size of a dime. I followed instructions and kept it protected so it wouldn't rupture. Unfortunately, the next day, I absentmindedly rubbed my chin and the blister ruptured. The top of the blister ripped off. It was excruciatingly painful and I was horrified when I saw how deeply my skin was damaged under that blister. I bought wound care supplies. I applied neosporin and used a hydrocolloid dressing to be sure the raw, burned, and weeping skin wouldn't become infected or be damaged by a dressing it could stick to. The next day was Labor Day. I went onto the proMD website for bel air and wrote them an email with the subject line "burn." The next day, no one contacted me. The day after that, no one contacted me. No one EVER contacted me. I knew I could call the office but at this point I realized I didn't even trust them to make appropriate recommendations for how to treat the wound. Instead, I relied on the advice of nurses with wound care experience who said to continue what I was already doing. After a week and a half, it was no longer weeping but it was still really red. And let me tell you, the initial two weeks were PAINFUL. Every time I moved my mouth to speak, chew, yawn, etc., that area was SO painful. I began applying a silicone based scar gel, which I continue to do, hoping that the red mark fully heals at some point. I did seek advice from a Hopkins trained NP working in aesthetics (and with IPL lasers) and was told I did everything right. She said the laser had been on settings that were far too high for my skin type, and that based on my skin tone and telling them I burn easily in the sun, they should have known better. Honestly, I consider myself lucky because my eyes did recover several days after the laser treatment and I was not left with permanent vision loss. Hair loss and a large (potentially permanent) scar seem insignificant when I consider that I could have lost my sight. Before coming here for laser treatment, carefully consider how many risks you're truly willing to take. The dangers are real, including permanent scarring and vision loss, and based on my experience, I'm convinced your risks are significantly higher here than almost anywhere else.

Honest Review of MDI Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics…read more I recently visited MDI Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics through a Groupon deal for a VI Peel advertised at $172. The office was clean, and I really appreciated the attention to hygiene. The receptionist stood out--she sanitized the entire reception area while wearing gloves and maintained a friendly, welcoming attitude. I would rate her a 10/10 for professionalism and customer service. Pricing Issues & Customer Experience Unfortunately, my experience with the owner was not as positive. When I arrived, she expressed frustration about the Groupon price, implying that I was taking advantage of her by using the advertised deal. She stated that the regular price for the service was $250 and attempted to charge me $225, despite my showing her the Groupon deal for $172. When I reminded her of the advertised price, she rudely dismissed it, saying it was "too low" and then demanded $175 instead. Although it was only a few dollars more, the principle matters. Maryland law states that merchants must honor their advertised pricing, and a customer shouldn't have to negotiate or feel pressured to pay more than what was listed. For this issue, I would rate the pricing transparency a 0/10--very dissatisfied. Customers should not have to pay extra to avoid a negative interaction, especially for a chemical service that involves their face and skin. The Impact on Customers A business should honor its advertised pricing without making customers feel uncomfortable. The owner openly refused to honor the Groupon price, attempted to charge more, and created an awkward situation over just a few dollars. This approach caused customers to walk out, meaning lost business and a negative experience for those who showed up expecting the listed price. If a business chooses to use Groupon to attract customers, they should not argue or negotiate over the price once people arrive. Instead, they should either honor the deal as advertised or clearly state any additional costs upfront. Pricing inconsistency and confrontation over small amounts create unnecessary frustration and drive away potential repeat customers. Similar Issue With Another Customer Shortly after my interaction, another customer had a similar issue with the provider regarding pricing. The owner did not seem to read the room well, as she continued the dispute in front of other customers. The young lady remained polite but ultimately said she would think about it and asked how to get a refund for the Groupon she had already purchased. This interaction made it clear that my experience wasn't an isolated incident. The owner admitted that she uses Groupon to bring people in but then disputes the price once they arrive. This approach is misleading and can put customers in an uncomfortable position. Additionally, because the reception area lacks privacy, these conversations play out in front of other clients, which isn't ideal. Service & Aftercare As for the service itself, the owner applied the VI Peel well, and I was satisfied with the treatment process. However, she could improve on providing clear, in-person aftercare instructions rather than directing customers to scan a QR code from her living room after the service. A more personal approach in explaining post-treatment care would make a big difference. Final Thoughts & Ratings Receptionist: 10/10 - Professional, friendly, and maintains a clean environment. Service Application: 7/10 - The peel was applied well, but aftercare instructions could be better. Owner's Customer Service: 7/10 - She is clearly intelligent and knowledgeable but needs to work on professionalism, pricing consistency, and customer interactions. Pricing Transparency: 0/10 - Extremely dissatisfied. Pricing inconsistency and confrontation with customers over the advertised price created uncomfortable situations, leading to lost business. Which translates to a two stars out of five stars for this platform

I can feel the results almost immediately and they seem to last for much longer. It has not been the case with all places I've tried. I regularly get the immunity drip and recently started NAD therapy. The clinic is very clean and comfortable. Thelma taps my typically difficult veins like a pro, usually on the first try. If your curious about IV therapy, this is a great place to experience it for the first time.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the outcome -- it met my expectations for a maintenance session. That said, there were a few areas for improvement. Scheduling was a bit challenging, and despite being the first appointment of the day, the doctor was late. During the treatment, the application felt a bit rushed, gel all over plus I wasn't confident that all intended areas -- specifically my nose -- were treated. My nose and forehead didn't react or flake like they typically do (whereas my cheeks that got much more thorough passes of the laser did). I wasn't given any prep or post-care instructions, though to be fair, I didn't specifically ask. When I inquired about pricing for recommended future treatments (chest and face), I wasn't able to get a clear answer -- the receptionist gave an estimate but emphasized it wasn't exact, "don't quote me on that" (... sorry but I'm asking for a quote...) Overall, while I'm pleased with the results, I might look elsewhere next time.

We kept expecting things to go wrong, but they didn't. Fast forward just over a year from when we started with Angie, and our happy, healthy baby was born. We are forever grateful. Beyond fertility treatments, I would trust Angie at her word; if she believes she can help you, she more than likely can. Throughout my visits, she helped with myriad other issues that popped up in the day-to-day. I continued my visits with her for support through the first trimester and started up again during the third trimester. Angie's a gifted healer and goes out of her way to help.
