I'm posting this review for my mother's microblading, as Yelp hid it (make sure you go look at 30 other hidden reviews at the bottom of page!). She also got a hydrafacial and her skin looked amazing after. I have also had BBL laser treatment here which helped reduce sun damage/dark spots! "My experience at Elite Med Spa was fantastic. My daughter surprised me with a session of micro blading to have my eyebrows done. My eyebrows were sparse due to hormone changes and I was very self conscious about them. Very hard to pencil in when you can't see without your glasses and just a pain to do even with a magnifying mirror. I was nervous about the procedure but Fatemeh assured me it would look natural and they do! I'm still getting used to having full beautiful eyebrows again. At first they were really dark but she said after they heal they would be perfect and she was right. She matched my hair color perfectly. I'm so happy with the results and they are so nice there I want to go back and get permanent eyeliner on my next visit!" read more

MISS AIDA, DR. ALBADER, trying to receive communication here has been emotionally and physically draining and upsetting. i don't feel u view me as human or care about the distress it is causing me. i want nothing from u except for a data privacy issue resolved and to do so i need a direct conversation with dr. albader. i just want bare minimum professionalism and decency to have peace of mind. i saw u TWO MONTHS ago and i still havent been able to get a clear follow-up. i regret deeply having ever reached out. DR. ALBADER PLEASE CALL ME BACK FOR TWO MINUTES AND KINDLY ANSEWR MY WUESTIONS So THAT I MAY CLOSE THIS MATTER. i am only writing this review bc u have refused to engage with me direclty despite watching me reachout againa and again read more

Aida is an excellent technician, knowledgeable and personable. She is honest and always offers her best advice. The practice is clean and well maintained. I have been going to this practice for couple of years now and they have gained my trust. read more

The service is not bad at all but they rush you out before the time you paid for is up if a new customer is coming in. They insist on higher tip trying to shame you into a bigger tip. All they see is the money they can get out of you read more

I only saw them for a consultation thus far only. They were responsive, honest, and on time. I can't stand people who try to push products on you, without acknowledging that you are an individual with varying skin conditions. I truly appreciate their professionalism and just after one appointment I trust them. I will be back. read more

Aida at Elite Medical Spa is incredibly skilled at laser hair removal. I have been going for treatments with Aida for two years now and the hair on my legs and underarms is 90% gone. The equipment that she uses is the gentlest laser hair removal I have had (I have gone to three other places for laser hair removal). Aida is professional, gentle, adept at what she does, and genuinely cares about her patients. I very highly recommend Aida and Elite Medical Spa. read more

Aida is wonderful. I come here for the HydraFacial and I leave with my skin glowing for days. I'm so happy I found this Med Spa. Highly recommend! read more

I have to echo everyone's reviews on Aida and the service thus far. I went in for my first laser session recently and bought the bundle package (6 services for 15% off). When I was trying to make my appointment over the phone, Aida was very accommodating to the point where she was able to swap me with another client. Great service and first impression! I did laser hair removal over 7 years ago so I was aware of the run down on what to expect but still had a couple of questions for the aftercare since my memory was fuzzy. Aida was very patient with answering all of them and even after the day after as she is accessible via text. The only thing I would suggest from my appointment is to provide a numbing cream/spray for the clients if they have a low tolerance for pain or to suggest it to the client prior to the appointment. I needed a numbing cream and had to wait for 20 min to re-start the laser session but it wasn't a big deal since her and I ended up chatting like old friends to help the time pass quickly. It would probably have been more concerning if I was on a time crunch. I'll be back for my second session in Sept and hope to try their hydra facial next as this is something I haven't tried with any facials and I'm always interested in trying anything to get a glowy and clean skin complexion. They also have a doctor that comes to the spa to give botox and fillers if you are interested with those services! read more

I stumbled upon Elite when I was looking to get some laser removal and decided to try them after seeing all the positive reviews. As a PCOS sufferer I had terrible chin and upper lip hair and after trying laser a few years ago had given up on it ever working. Boy was I wrong! Aida was amazing from the first session. She explained the process and was very invested in helping me take care of the issue. She adjusted the lasers each session to make sure I get the best results and after only 6 sessions the hair is completely gone. Its almost like I never had any hair on the chin to start with and all the black marks from the hair have disappeared. Now I only do maintenance appts every 6-7 weeks and couldn't be happier. Aida also suggested that I try microneedling and laser for my acne scars and i ended up buying 3 sessions of microneedling and one of the laser (which i am yet to do). The microneedling with Dr Albader was a great experience. She explained the process and answered all my questions. She was totally invested in getting me the best results and provided suggestions on how to get the most out of my treatments. She performed the treatments for me and was always careful of my pain tolerance and comfort. I had the best microneedling experience one can have and am happy with the results so far! In general scheduling is a breeze with these ladies and they are always so pleasant to be around during appointments. Cannot recommend this place enough and I'm sure I will continue to visit their spa for many years to come. read more

I had my first Hydrafacial two weeks ago and I cannot wait to go back for my second. I had brunch the day after, and luckily there was no post facial redness or irritation. Aida was very professional and had a calm demeanor. She also did not pressure me to purchase any products but advised me to consider adding a product that was part of a skincare line I used which I appreciate. Thank you Aida, I will see you in a few weeks! read more

I had my second appointment at elite medical spa for laser hair removal yesterday and I am already super happy with the results. I was VERY apprehensive about getting the treatment for two reasons: 1. I am black - we are at the highest risk of burning from laser. 2. I had laser six years ago and sustained burns. I never considered trying laser again until someone close to me who knows Dr. Albader suggested that I talk to her about a procedure. I scheduled a consultation and went on and saw her and Aida, the practice manager and skin expert. Aida suggested laser to correct the problem instead of what I originally thought I needed. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. She even showed me a picture of skin darker than mine that she treated (the darker the skin, the higher the risk of burning). I noticed that Dr. Albader trusts Aida as the expert in laser. She was there for the consultation which was important to me because of my past experience with laser but Aida seems to be an experienced skin expert. After the first procedure about six weeks ago, I saw dramatic results. Six years ago, when I had my bad laser experience, I went for ten sessions and none of those sessions ever had results as dramatic as my first session with Elite Medical Spa. Aida told me exactly what would happen and how the hair would grow back and everything happened like she said it would. She puts aloe vera on the treated area and makes sure my skin looks normal before sending me on my way. I went back yesterday for the second appointment of six, and it went smoothly. Being burned was slightly traumatic for me, so it is always in the back of my mind when I am there. read more

I just experienced my first hydrafacial with Aida & she was wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and patient. I didn't feel like she was rushing through the facial, she took her time extracting the gunk out of my pores on my nose. She explain to me what she was going to be doing to my face and made sure I was comfortable and not feeling any discomfort. Did I say she was friendly?! I enjoyed talking to her so much I felt like I was with one of my girl friends chatting up a storm lol. My face felt and look so bright and plump! Like a juicy peach ! Obviously I had two or three little red marks where I had my acne but still my face feels so wonderful I can't wait to see how it looks tomorrow. At the end of my facial she showed me all of the wonderful things she pulled out of my face. It was so satisfying to see she got so much shit out of my face a left me looking all NEW. They have a package of three hydrafacials for $350 (which I ended up getting ). Oh and you also get a light therapy with the hydrafacial at the end. Which I've been to and called different places where they do hydrafacials and they always have the light therapy as an add on for more money. I thought the price for a hydrafacial here was very reasonable. She even allowed me to come after hours as long as you schedule an appointment of course. Talk about great customer service! They are very caring here. Oh I almost forgot to mention about Bob the handsome receptionist, he is the best part about this place! Thank you Bob for the great conversation! Don't pass this place up, trust me you will love it ! read more

Elite Medical Spa - Don't judge my brows... it's been some time since I've had them done lol or since I've done them ‍ - Medical Spas Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Great massage! I usually get massages wherever but I will definitely be back here. My muscles get pretty beat up during training. So I need a good massage to help workout all the knots and kinks. read more

I have been coming to see Aida for almost a year now for my laser hair removal sessions. Within 3 sessions more than half of the hair was gone. She truly knows what she's doing and makes me feel comfortable every time I'm there. As many know laser hair removal can be uncomfortable and painful at times and even when I don't complain or make a sound she consistently pauses the session to make sure I am doing alright and that means a lot to me. If you want to any affordable yet effective treatment she's the one to go to. P.S. the establishment is super clean and modern read more

This is not the first time I had excellent service at the Elite Medical SPA. Again I went back and I had four sessions of Skin Tightening one every two weeks and I couln't believe the results. I am in my seventies and my neck and cheeks had so many wrinkles and actually my skin was sagging. After four sessions of therapy I look years younger. A lot of my wrinkles on my cheeks and neck disappeared. Several of my friends have noticed and right away commented on my skin. The sessions are painless and Aida is a professional who was very attentive to my needs and who asked me regularly if everything was OK. She is caring and kind and generous with her time. She explained everything she was doing during the session. She answered all my questions and after the sessions, she gave me instructions how to take care of my skin at home. The atmosphere in the SPA is so relaxing and pleasant and overall I had an excellent service. I recommend EMS to all who want to have a perfect service with excellent results. read more

I went to Elite today for a hydrofacial. Aida was extremely helpful and accommodating. She answered my questions and more. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Aida is a true gem and super gentle. This is my second laser session and she remembered minute details of the 1st session that made for an even better/more comfortable second visit. The owner is also the kindest person you'll meet. If I had an unlimited budget, I'd probably be there all the time getting every treatment imaginable. Nevertheless, they have specials running all the time. It's so hard finding a good medical spa; I'm glad that I don't have to keep searching now. read more

Absolutely wonderful service. I've been seeing Aida for a year. She really takes the time to explain your skin and what works best. Her hydrafacial is life changing. She's also don't BBL treatment on my face. My skins has never looked better after just one treatment. She really makes sure she works within your skins limits and doesn't pressure you into additional services. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for skins treatments. read more

Aida at Elite Med Spa is the BEST laser hair removal specialist in the area. She provides realistic expectations of hair removal, works patiently to your pain tolerance, and is professional at all times. The facility is clean and the machine used actually works. Not to mention, Aida uses a technique of marking your body so she knows exactly where she has used the laser so no hair is left behind. She is also extremely sweet and makes you feel comfortable while undergoing a very personal procedure. If possible, there is no better deal than the full body package (6 sessions). This incredibly priced package has given me prolonged results after the second session! Aida also encourages any touch ups after the package is complete with fair pricing. Now, I am confident after years of hair grooming and spend no time on shaving, plucking, or waxing which ultimately saves me lots of money and headache. read more

Aida is a godsend. Like many women, my 30s has welcomed the onslaught of chin hair. What started as an occasional stray has developed into a tiny colony. As a black woman, this has also meant dark marks from coarse, curly ingrowns. I've been wanting to do laser hair removal for a while, but until now have found it cost prohibitive and was also wary because black skin is sensitive to laser treatments and can burn easily. I found Elite Medical Spa on Yelp - there is another black woman who raved - and I can now attest: Aida is very knowledgeable about laser treatments, particularly on dark skin. She is very nice, will answer all of your questions before you start services. She even allowed me to do a consultation on beforehand with a test patch on me leg just to see how my skin would respond. I'm headed for my second treatment and already, the hairs are kept at bay. Aida has truly helped me and I've highly recommended her to friends. read more

Aida is really a wonderful person, and a super smart, helpful laser removal specialist. Once I found her, I told everyone I knew about her efficient, calm service. She is very responsive and flexible when it come to appointments. I am really grateful to her and to Elite Medical Spa. read more

I had hydrafacial done by Aida yesterday. I have to say I'm very pleased by the results. People start asking me what I have done to my face recently! Meaning results are great and notable. It was a last minute appointment but Aida was wonderful and helped to fit me in her schedule. Prices are very reasonable. So excited to have more sessions and also try other treatments at Elite medical spa! Thanks Aida! read more

Excellent!! I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for high quality and great service. Wonderful staff and Dr. Goldstein is the absolute best!! Won't be going anywhere else read more

I have had both Hydrafacials and BBL photo facials over the past year with Aida and it's been a great experience. She is very knowledgeable about skincare and has very reasonable prices. I have been to many other practices for facials, but none have the experience, kindness and customer service of Elite Medical. read more

I've been going to Elite Med Spa for about a year now and it has been an amazing experience. I originally started seeing Aida for laser hair removal based off of the recommendation of a friend from work. The hair removal has gone really well but the thing that really made this spa stand out to me was the BBL. During one of our sessions, Aida asked me about some of the redness in my face. I have keratosis pilaris on my arms and face which has left me with a lot of redness. I had consulted a dermatologist when I was younger but was told that there was nothing I could do to get rid of the redness. Aida suggested trying BBL to see if it would help since they use it for rosacea. I have had three sessions now and it has made a world of difference in my skin. We decided to look at the before and after pictures after my third session and the improvement is amazing. My cheeks are clear and smooth which is something I never thought would happen. I used to wear heavy foundations to try and cover the redness but it just left me with cake face and splotchy redness still shining through. I still have a couple sessions left but even after 3 sessions I feel more confident than ever about how my skin looks. I have no problem going without foundation and now even when I do wear makeup I just use a sheer coverage. I was never able to do that before. I've even been wearing blush for the first time. My skin looks amazing and my makeup looks so much better since I don't try to pack it on. On top of all of this, Aida is genuinely the best I have ever met. I've had a bunch of facials and suggestions from different estheticians and none of them have come close to the knowledge and know how of Aida. She can look at your skin and know exactly what it needs. I never would have tried BBL if it wasn't for her even though the redness on my face has bothered me my entire life. She can answer any question you throw at her and she knows exactly what you can expect from your treatments. She knowledgeable, she listens and is very attentive to you in each appointment. If you've ever had any concerns or issues with your skin, go see Aida at elite med spa because it will change your life. read more

I purchased a full body laser package when they first opened Elite Medical Spa. I still have one more session to go and I'm happy to say that I no longer have to bother with razors or waxing anymore. This has been one of the best investments I've ever made- I got better results than I first expected! I had done laser hair removal 5 years ago elsewhere (not with Aida) and I can truthfully say the changes I saw after all those sessions added up equate in the changes I saw after just one session here- It was that effective for me. As for the technician, Aida, I cannot recommend her enough- I actually followed her to this location when she moved from her previous spa so I already knew I was going to be in good hands when I first started laser with her. She's been doing this for years so she's highly knowledgeable and covers all the details you need to know before, during, and after treatment. She even went into detail about the types of lasers she'll be using over the course of the treatment based on my skin and hair type to maximize my results- and nearing the end of it, she was spot on. I also have incredibly sensitive skin- so I appreciated the extra precautions she took when working on my skin. The rest of the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming-and the spa itself is sanitary and very homely! I even sent one of my friend from Bethesda here and she's already raving about the results she saw after one session- Again, can't recommend this place enough! read more

This place is great. They are extremely responsive and do a wonderful job on the services you need. They are also great at recommending any other services that will give your skin a beautiful and wonderful glow. I would highly recommend :). read more

My laser hair removal (face) has been great. I have brown skin and have not experienced any hyperpigmentation or skin discoloration following my laser treatments. My only suggestion would be maybe an aloe vera gel application to cool the skin after the treatment as an option for clients. I love Aida, she's super cool and makes me feel comfortable. read more

Aida is honestly the best! I can't speak highly enough of her personality and her work. I have suffered from pseudofolliculitis since I was 17, and have the scars to prove it. My problems were along my jaw line and neck area. I wish I would've taken pictures to show how severe my scars were. This wasn't my first experience with laser hair removal, but it's definitely the best. I was not burned at all, like I have been in the past due to me being dark skinned, and I saw amazing results after just one session. I decided to do full body hair removal, because of the reasonable price. During the process she moves fairly quickly, which is good because I'm 5'9", so we have a lot of surface to cover, and we take breaks as needed. Aida is very accommodating with her scheduling, which is very important to me since at this point I now live in Texas, but travel back so I can be lasered. I've had 4 out of 6 sessions completed so far, and the only time I shave is right before the sessions. The hair is either super fine or it's just not there!! My mom is planning to get her tummy tuck scar lasered at some point, so be on the lookout for a review on that, with pictures included! read more

The staff at Elite are extremely professional and so patient. They take the time to answer all of your questions and explain the procedures especially the physician, Dr. Albader. I have gotten 3 different services there and visited this spa about 5 times total and worked with several different professionals and they are all hardworking, dedicated and flexible. I had to change my appointments and they were very accommodating. They also offered me the specials that the practice was offering which I didn't even know about! I loved their hydrafacial service and even recommended it to several other people! In fact, I have referred about 4 people to Elite and they were all treated fabulously and have even become repeat clients and have gone on to get additional services. I have tried other medical spas before but that's before I knew about this one. The fact there is an actual physician on-site makes me feel so much more comfortable and confident. Highly recommend this place for their laser hair removal, Botox and filler treatments and their hydrafacials. Ask for Aida! She's so helpful and sweet. read more
