2 stars - Disappointing and concerning experience…read more I really wanted to like this place. I try to support local businesses, and I hadn't heard of this one before, yet it popped up in a search and looked promising at a time when I thought I would try somewhere new, given the staff turnover at Laser Center of Marin. When I arrived, I was surprised to be the only client there. The owner mentioned she was a registered nurse, but there was no doctor on site, and she had to get approval via a video conference before proceeding. That already felt a bit unorthodox and uncomfortable. The actual procedure was, unfortunately, where things really went sideways. I'm someone who's been getting Botox or Dysport regularly for about 30 years--usually 1-3 times a year. In all that time, I've had one tiny bruise, at most the size smaller than a thumbtack, on my forehead after a treatment. After this treatment, I left with two noticeable bruises on my forehead--one of which ballooned into something nearly 20x larger than anything I'd ever experienced and was about half to one inch long. I contacted the clinic as soon as I got home. They recommended taking ingestible arnica, which I did diligently, several times a day, along with icing the area. The next morning, the bruising and swelling was worse. I've also asked twice for copies of the digital documents I signed as a new client, and despite giving them alternate email addresses, I've yet to receive anything. That lack of follow-through, combined with the strange approval process and unexpected physical trauma, left me deeply uncomfortable and has me concerned the person who administered the treatment was not certified or qualified to do so. I truly wish this had been a better experience. But based on what I encountered, I wouldn't return, and I can't in good faith recommend this business. I also believe regulatory oversight may be warranted--something about this setup didn't feel right, and I should never have ended up with this kind of damage to my face with an experienced practitioner.

She has been treating me with fillers and Botox for about 5 years and I could not be happier with the work she does on my face. My experiences and results have always been positive -- she even mitigated a scar on my face that no-one in 25 years ever even attempted. I saw her last week. She asked it she could try something on it, used some Botox, and I can't believe how minimalized it is today! She's a rock star in my book.

I should've called Cheryl Huang in the first place. I knew it as I was parking the car. I'd…read moreheard tell of her excellence. But - in I went anyway for a Botox treatment at a local day spa. It was a spur of the moment, instant gratification kind of decision...and a few days later, yikes. I was looked strangely surprised and droopy in the eyes, at the same time. Frozen middle forehead, but lots of movement on the sides,. Not to mention I still had the very lines between my eyebrows I had been trying to alleviate in the first place. All in all, not a good look. Turns out that artistry and precision are, in fact, critical to the kind of results you want in a Botox treatment. I know, not surprising...and yet, alas, I had to learn the hard way that a couple bucks off per unit is not worth the gamble on talent. As a girl who cares about this stuff, I can't believe I went out on such a limb in the first place. After waiting the customary two weeks for the stuff to settle, it was clear that I had a problem. Immediate call to Marin Aesthetica. Dr. Huang is smart, sophisticated, and skilled with the Botox needle. She saw me, said she could fix my unfortunate forehead situation...and lo and behold, that is exactly what she did. With a few perfectly placed injections, I was rescued. I am so pleased with the results - and now I won't be seeing anyone else in the future. I've had Botox from two physicians - and she is, by far, the BEST. I actually can't believe the difference. Dr. Huang has spot-on aesthetic sensibilities combined with a conservative, not-pushy approach to skin care and skin treatments. Plus, her personality is warm and truly delightful. Don't waste your time with amateurs, unknowns, and Botox "specials.". Go see Cheryl. She's a true professional, a scholar, and - when it comes to faces - an artist. I am looking forward to seeing her again. She will be a resource for me going forward in these late 30s and beyond. If you happen to read this - thank you Cheryl! Your work is beautiful.

My lips were overinflated…read moreand my filler had migrated beneath my lips-- another practitioner in Arizona finally convinced me to take all of the filler out beneath my lips. I did, it's what I needed to do, but after 15 years of filler my deflated skin now looked like an accordion. Nicole used a combination of threads and my own blood to bring my skin back to life. More recently- she added the tiniest bit of filler in my fine lines around my mouth. I look soooooo much better. Also... at the time, I was considering getting a lower bleph (eye bag removal). Nicole realized that the bags weren't actually bags-- but rather old filler. She removed the filler and my under eye area is now flat-- I look 5-10 years younger and it cost me a couple hundred dollars as compared to $6000 or more and I didn't have to undergo a surgery. If you are looking for a skilled practitioner, who will help you to look your best using the most modern techniques than call Nicole. She is the best of the best!!!!!
