DON'T GO to D'vine Medical Spa
no matter how good the deal sounds!
I used a Groupon to get Dysport injections. The 1st spa I went to told me exactly how many Dysport shots I would need for the full effect I desired. They were really kind, and though not running a special at that time, told me about Groupon and that's how I ended up at Dvine. So I bought bigger package than suggested, really wanting good results. I'd saved up for this, and it was 2 hour drive. I noticed they were NOT very attentive or good at returning messages or being friendly-very standoffish.
The "doctor" didn't even introduce himself or ask my name. It was like he had another appointment and squeezed me in, which did not feel good. I am very confident and can speak upfront to anyone, but this was kind of a vulnerable situation, and this dr. was so off-putting, I struggled to share what I hoped for and explain how I'd bought extra . I also asked if my biggest vanity issue-the-deep lip lines and thin lips plus sunken under eyes could be treated. Before I even finished telling him -he cut me off, shaking his head in a disappointed fashion, stating that was NOT enough Dysport for results much less anything extra. He'd have to steal from Paul to pay Mary as it was. Where did I want to have less results???? I HATED HIM! He made me feel so stupid and unattractive and old. I was there to feel I was in good hands and would look gorgeous, but I was already let down, and knew it wouldn't be what I expected. Could not buy MORE shots-I bought the biggest package! About the lips and eyes---he said no to Dysport anyways, but he could FIX BOTH PROBLEMS WITH ONE VILE OF Rylene Silk! And lucky me, it was only $400. I will admit, though unprepared to buy another product/service, when he said it would take care of BOTH my actual issues and for 6+ months, I struggled. Knowing the Dysport was going to be a disappointment according to him, I figured at least now with vile I would look and feel much better. So I said okay. I was very concerned about pain--very sensitive lips. I asked about numbing medicine. None. Said it wouldn't hurt much at all. Told me not to worry as he jabbed causing such agony. Tears involuntary ran down my face entire time. He was absolutely oblivious---SO COLD. UNCONCERNED. Complained about the shape of my lips. Thank you. Total time for everything was literally minutes. Not even a couple minutes down time to let things settle and then check it out. He had me look at handheld mirror as I was crying and there was blood all over my face. It will look great he promised.
Tried to ask questions as I was LITERALLY rushed out the door, and he had no advice or warning or things to expect-nothing, no worries. . Not reassuring, but happy no side effects. He was, however, already ON HIS CELL PHONE AS I AM TALKING & HEADING OUT THE DOOR OF HIS OFFICE.
Oh, I had a prescription for Belviq in my hand. Never discussed with dr. Supposed to per guidelines-new diet drug. Nope. Said coupon online. Wasn't. Said they'd send coupon. Didn't.
By the time I got home, my face was so distorted and swollen with lumps everywhere. I was freaked out! Had no idea. Worst part, ONLY HALF MY LIPS had filled at all. The side that "worked" barely did so. No full lips as promised. Lines still apparent, but what stood out the worst was the SIDE THAT DIDN'T "TAKE". DEEP LINES EVERYWHERE! MADE MORE APPARENT WITH THE OTHER SLIGHTLY LARGER, FILLED IN SIDE. Contacted them. Played phone tag. . Wrote long, detailed, panicked email. No response that day or the next morning. When I finally heard back, no apology, no concern, acted as if I were the biggest pain in the ass.
They were just so condescending and rude. So cold.. There[very slow r] response didn't address any of my questions/concerns, but said something like, I understand you have some concerns. Call us back. Urggghh!! I emailed them. It was close to 30 hours later for them to respond. Still ice cold. No apologies, no feedback or response to my multi listed concerns. Never had such bad customer service-from doctor's office none the less!
Finally refused to speak with them. Even if offered, did not want to come back to office and have dr. "fix"" his mistake. He was unfriendly when I was new patient paying lots of money. How would be treat me now, I'd seen his work and their after care. Why would I do that to myself?
Never an apology or even fake concern. I sent pics. I asked to please get partial refund to even up lips. Nothing. They did nothing they promised, and I have lived with this embarrassment for almost 8 months-daily reminder of lip lines exaggerated now-unforgivable. What a nightmare. If you go, I hope you have good luck. Be careful and know what you are getting in for and don't expect support. I will share pics and answer questions should you have any. You can email me at work:
tileexcellence@gmail.com. I gave them every chance to make things...not right, but better. They didn't care
