| - I've been wanting to do something about my freckles and skin discoloration (hyper-pigmentation) for quite some time, but was always befuddled by the variety of service providers in Las Vegas. Yesterday, I bit the bullet and called here. I was amazed! I got a same day appointment for a consultation (which I suspect was luck and a little bit of fate). It was a $25 consult fee which eventually went towards my treatment. Yup, I booked on the spot.
I was nervous and showed up almost a half an hour early. I got right in (which, again, I suspect was luck and a little bit of fate, but hey, I'll take it!!). I spoke with Dr. Fong who was knowledgeable, thoughtful and very informative. She was able to give me great insight on Asian skin and a fair assessment of what the success of the treatments would be for me. I decided on the the Lutronic Spectra treatments for melasma. They have a membership: $150 auto-billed or withdrawn monthly and I can book a treatment anytime there is an availability throughout the month. If I want an extra treatment during the month, it's another $150 charged per treatment. I don't have extensive pricing info for around town, but I plunged right in. Another amazing thing. I got my first treatment right then and there. There just happened to be an opening and they were great squeezing me in. Could they tell I would have probably changed my mind if I would have had to come back? (I am a commitment-phobe!)
It seems the stars lined up for me yesterday and I was lucky enough to get a same day appointment, a great consult, and same day treatment. I'm glad it worked out this way because if there had been any "waiting," I probably would have chickened out!
The treatment itself was startling. I didn't know what to expect and it was more uncomfortable than I anticipated, but I will tell you - It was NOT bad. I didn't expect any pain at all, so the little discomfort there was shocked me, but I quickly recovered and rallied. The technician told me to let her know if it was too much and the entire treatment took a half and hour. That was with the 10 minute wait after the carbon was applied. I was advised I probably wouldn't start to see dramatic results until about six treatments in and then it would require maintenance. I'll keep you guys posted on how it does.
Overall, I was very pleased with my experience here and will definitely be looking into other services there (they do eyelash extension!). After my negative experience at Cherry Lash Lounge, I will be trying lash extensions here next. Dr. Fong and the staff were down to earth, friendly and appeared very competent.
Three days after my first treatment. Is it just me or can I already tell a difference??? Amazing, after one treatment, my skin looks better. Can't wait for the next appointment!
The only suggestion to make this better is to introduce on line booking for regular clients.
