We arrived before our appointment time and filled out their forms. We each had our own room/skin care specialist. The comfortable spa table is prepped with a little steamer to get your face ready for treatment. The HydraFacial machine was explained to me. She also stated that if the process felt uncomfortable, I could alert her to adjust the pressure. The procedure helped to clean, exfoliate, and remove impurities from my skin. She then applied a serum of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The final application was sunscreen. While the untrained eye, probably couldn't SEE a difference after the HydraFacial, I could certainly FEEL the difference. Clean, fresh, and super rejuvenated! As a follow up, I came in for the Scultural Face Lift with Buccal Massage. This included lymphatic drainage (behind your ears) and microcirculation of my shoulders, neck, and jaw area. If you've never had a massage inside your mouth, try it! This helps to relax jaw muscles and many TMJ patients use this. Honey, you are worth it! Whether a special occasion or just because. They have many options in their menu of services. They also sell products to compliment all your skin care needs. God blessed you with the skin you're in, this is a great way to maintain it :)

Janika is nothing short of a goddess with lasers! Her precision and attention to detail are unmatched. She takes the time to personalize each session, ensuring that the treatment is tailored perfectly to my skin and needs.

She's the reason I come to HONOLULU med spa for my laser treatments, one of the things I value most is that she would never recommend Something for you - - even if you think you need it - - if it's not right for your skin. She's a consummate professional, who truly cares about what's best for you. I also have to share Leilani, she's an ARNP who handles injectables. She is the absolute best of the best - -.. Not only is she the sweetest human being, but she also steps into your skin and focuses on achieving beautiful, natural results with as little product as possible. I never feel like she's selling me something, and I never have to worry that I won't look like myself. Leilani is an integral part of HONOLULU MedSpa, and she's been a huge part of allowing me to age gracefully. We all work hard and spend our hard earned money to take care of our skin, and it's definitely money well spent here. If you go to HONOLULU MedSpa, be sure to let them know Deb referred you!

I've been a patient of Dr. Yew's for many years, with only a brief break when I moved away. During…read morethat time, I tried several other aesthetic providers, and it only reinforced what I already knew: Dr. Yew is truly in a league of his own. He is professional, knowledgeable, caring, approachable, and has a great sense of humor that immediately puts you at ease. He takes the time to answer every question honestly and always recommends what is in your best interest rather than what will generate the biggest bill. There are never long waiting times, and his team consistently goes above and beyond to provide outstanding service and the best value possible. One thing I've learned from visiting other clinics is that attractive promotions don't always translate into quality care. Many places will impress you during your first visit, only for the experience to decline afterward--long waits, inconsistent pricing, questionable treatment amounts, and results that simply don't deliver. I've seen it all. What sets Dr. Yew apart is that he combines medical expertise with artistic talent. Having a degree doesn't automatically make someone exceptional at what they do. In aesthetics, technical knowledge is only half the equation--the other half is artistry. Dr. Yew has both. He understands balance, proportion, and natural-looking results better than anyone I've encountered. Every time I leave his office, I look refreshed, never overdone. About a week later, I catch my reflection and wonder how I managed to look five years younger. After experiencing many providers over the years, I can confidently say this: if your face matters to you, don't shop for the cheapest deal--shop for the best hands. For me, that's Dr. Yew. I'm so glad to be back. Thank you, Dr. Yew!

Dr. Yew is both a doctor and an artist--he explains every step in detail, makes you feel completely comfortable, and ensures results that look natural, healthy, and absolutely beautiful.

So I was sure to clarify 20 additional units at $5 a unit. Total around $100(yes I did clarify $100). To which the injector said yes. When I walked to the front to pay I was told 3x that price, over $300. Obviously I was shocked and objected, but I was met with a condescending tone. I was told that there must have been a misunderstanding on my part and that I was told Botox units. Even though I was Sure I clarified the dose and pricing prior to injection. The women continued to repeat herself over and over in a rude manner stating there was nothing she could do and that technically I was given $5 a unit but for 60 units not 20. So beware they dose in Botox units no matter which product they provide to you and even if you clarify the price and dosing they will change it on you before you check out. This is deception marketing. This strategy is to confuse you and require you to do the math at bedside to figure out your actual cost. Huge disappointment. Extremely embarrassing situation that they exploited. This is suppose to be a treat.

I highly recommend you utilize the expertise that the ENTIRE staff provides.

SURGERY PATIENTS BEWARE…read more I deeply regret selecting Dr. Shim Ching. My experience with him and Asia Pacific was a nightmare, and a significant portion of my result is so unacceptable that I require a costly and risky revision surgery. I feel botched and mutilated. I avoid mirrors and public settings because of the effect this has on my appearance. I am deeply ashamed that I trusted this person and allowed them to do this to my body. On the day of surgery, the anesthesiologist was unaware of important medical history that I had provided to Dr. Ching's staff weeks earlier. Asia Pacific had expressly assured me that my medical history and concerns were being taken seriously. Yet, as I sat prepped and awaiting surgery, it became abundantly clear that this information had not been shared with the anesthesiologist. I then waited in the intake room for more than two hours while the anesthesiologist requested the information I had provided and reviewed it to assess surgical risk. Despite the practice's error, I had no financially viable option to cancel on the spot. Withdrawing that morning would have meant forfeiting over $40,000. I was therefore placed in the untenable position of either proceeding with surgery despite serious concerns about the handling of my medical records or losing the entire amount I had paid because of an error that was not mine. No respectable medical practice would place a patient in that position. This failure, compounded by serious deficiencies in postoperative care and communication, destroyed my trust in both Dr. Ching and his staff. Their conduct changed markedly after the practice collected my full surgical fees -- they repeatedly revealed serious deficiencies in professionalism, communication, and basic administrative competence. I recently requested a partial refund to help defray the cost of revision surgery with a different surgeon. Asia Pacific denied that request outright, without dialogue with me or any form of good-faith effort to address why I don't feel safe with Dr. Ching. Offering to revise his own work is not a reasonable solution when repeated lapses in professionalism, communication, and patient care have left me with no confidence in his judgment or ability. I strongly urge prospective patients to conduct thorough due diligence before entrusting Dr. Ching with their body, safety, and money. Do not assume that "over a million followers" is actually real, or that an expensive office is evidence of surgical competence, patient safety, or accountability.

Within a short time of receiving botox, I noticed a significant reduction in my jaw pain and most importantly it made all my tension headaches go away. The light sensitivity and ringing in my ears also went away. As a busy working mom I was so thankful to have had so much relief and improvement in my quality of life.

It's exciting to see his dedication to innovation and how much he cares about helping women feel their best. Years later, I can still call on him for advise or with questions.

Sure, sometimes he comes across as a bit zingy, but its because he is excited to help people feel more confident in their own skin. Without going into too much detail regarding why I visited this office, I want to give a thorough review for those of you wondering if you should pull the trigger on getting a service done. First and foremost, his staff is amazing. They are friendly, knowledgeable and committed to giving you a pleasant experience. They are also easy to reach, are fast to respond, and always willing to help. Location cant be beaten. Located in Hale Pawaa, this office is on the 5th floor, in a corner unit. Easy to find and has great views. Parking is validated. Offering a wide array of services, PRP Hawaii and Dr. Schlesinger are committed to helping people reach their body goals. I can say from experience that I was always against modifying my body in any way to achieve a desirable appearance. However, after feeling less than confident about myself and getting older, I sought some advice - which turned into a referral - which turned into a service - which ultimately turned into me being a much happier person. Depending on your service and what is expected, results vary. Obviously. They are in the business of beautification - not magic. Do your research. Shop around. But I assure you, PRP Hawaii will offer high quality services for a competitive price. If you're wondering what to do, reach out. You may as well get a consult. Tell them that this review sent you - either way, they'll treat you like family.
