| - My mother's friend, who's in her 60's now, had a facelift at Spamedica and has been going back to the clinic regularly for the past 5 years for botox, juvaderm and laser skin treatments. She loves her enhanced look so much that she brags about it EVERY time my parents and I get together with her and her family. Although annoying, her bragging worked, because she got my mom to do botox and fillers for her wrinkles, and my mother is impressed. She had never been exposed to plastic surgery, so she was incredibly worried about "mutating" her face (her words, not mine...), but decided to jump the gun because she was sick of investing so much into good skin care and not getting the results she wanted. She's gained so much more energy and confidence after the treatments, and it's so nice to see her full of life again.
Seeing that my mother had a great experience at Spamedica, I went in to check the place out myself. As it was my first time at a cosmetic clinic, I did not want to commit to any injections just yet, so I went to get a Silkpeel facial after a very stressful week at work. The ladies at the clinic were very friendly and accommodating. To be honest, the silkpeel made my face a bit red for the rest of the day, and I found it broke me out a little bit the next day, but after the second day, my skin was SO smooth and glowy! I was also given some Skinceuticals and Vivier sample skincare products after telling them what I was currently using (which I've invested in now and religiously use on the daily!!).
My second time was for botox for my jaw muscles, and fillers for my lips (yes, I caved in to the "Kylie Jenner lips" craze). I thought I went in with enough knowledge on the injections, but my goodness was I wrong. I learned SO much during my consultation and during the actual injections. The nurses/staffs were very friendly, yet very professional. They reassured me that I'm in good hands, and that they've gotten some work done by the doctor himself - and they looked flawless! The doctor was a little intimidating at first, especially since I was sweating pools thinking about worse case scenarios in my head. Dr.Mulholland answered all my questions and concerns, and he was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with me. He kept me fairly distracted by talking about his kids who are around my age, and told me how getting a tattoo would be worse than getting lip injections. My mom had said the man was intelligent and professional, but I didn't expect all of this!
To be honest, I was a little skeptical because the Yelp reviews are absolute crap regarding this clinic, but I found that most of the other clinics aren't too high up there in Yelp as well. Here's a tip: if you're going to invest in these kinds of treatments and procedures, I'd recommend checking out Real Self - a dedicated website for doctor ratings.
All in all, the changes were subtle but definitely enhanced. My lips were kind of scary the first two days, but either than that I had nothing gone wrong, and I am so so so happy with the results. The healing process was a piece of cake, but my jaw muscles are still slowly decreasing (it apparently takes about 3 months for it to really show effect).
I've convinced my boyfriend to get laser hair removal, and a few of my girlfriends are interested in fillers now too - so guess where they're all going??
