    Healed lips. Looking soo lumpy

    Beware of uneven, or lumpy lips. Really bad customer service. Please be patient with me as this review will be lengthy and informative. Especially if you have in mind to make an appointment here! VISIT #1 I decided to make an appointment after considering it for a while. I scheduled dissolver because I wanted to start fresh after having 1ml of filler done years before. I spent $600 for two vials of dissolver and was informed that I still had some old filler in them, but it wasn't a huge concern and that I could perhaps dissolve it later on. VISIT #2 This was my lip filler appointment. Restalyne kysse was the one I picked because I had been assured it would give me more volume. The consultation went well, and Ashley was really kind and patient with me. Initially, I was happy with my results. After the swelling went away, I began to see that my lips were uneven and lumpy. VISIT #3 This was a follow-up appointment for the filler. I conveyed my concerns about the lumps. They told me that they would be performing a "smoothing" procedure and that my lips should be good after that. (A smoothing treatment is simply just them squeezing the hell out of the bumps without any numbing cream. You are given a stress ball to help you cope with the pain... I had neverrrr heard of such a thing. VISIT #4 I contacted them again to let them know that the lumps were still there after the "smoothing treatment." At this point, I was losing patience. I was directed to the Pleasanton location so that they could examine my lips in person. Nobody was there when I arrived. After 15 minutes, I received a phone call. They clarified that they told me to go to the Pleasanton site when they really meant Walnut Creek. They were super apologetic, I understand mistakes happen. I assured them I could drive to Walnut Creek without hesitation, so that's what we did. During this visit, I expressed my dissatisfaction because the lumps remained and an additional torturous smoothing procedure took place. It makes your lips plump and smoother, but after the swelling goes away, it's back to normal. I was frustrated and decided to reach out to Adrienne directly considering that she trains everyone there. I contacted her, explained the situation, and she instructed me to schedule a follow-up appointment with her, which I did. VISIT #5 I was waiting for Adrienne in one of the rooms when she came in. She asks that I explain what happened. There was no other explanation for the lumps except 1. Because I obtained filler elsewhere it's possible that whatever filler I had left reacted with restalyne kysse and caused the lumps. (unlikely). 2. The dissolver could have contributed to the creation of the lumps in my lips. Overall, she has no idea why this happened. She fails to explain the cause and doesn't offer a solution except for you guessed it.. I had another "smoothing treatment" during this visit. In the end, she tells me that I should do another 2+ vials of dissolver and get another syringe of filler. So, basically, another $1200 or so. I left feeling frustrated with lumps still in my lips. I walked back in because I couldn't believe I kept complaining about the same thing, showing up, and still nothing was truly done. I told them I should've been advised that because we're using dissolver or whatever, I might develop lumps. I should have been promised that if something happened, it would be taken care of because it wouldn't have been my fault!! She didn't seem too sympathetic; she just wanted the problem to go away, so she offered to use dissolver on the lumps, which I believe should have been done a long time ago. Weeks passed by and the lumps still looked the same. I was contacted and asked how my lips were doing at that point. I didn't reply because I don't trust this place and don't want them to touch my lips ever again. I don't know what happened. These lumps aren't normal no matter how much they've downplayed this.

    Great place for a hydra facial!

    What a fantastic experience I just enjoyed! I signed up for a 45 minute hydra facial session with Ashley F. She is professional, proactive, willing to answer 1 million questions, while performing the facial with ease. Ashley Checked in with me repeatedly to make sure whatever she was using on my skin felt fine, no negative reactions, and she takes before and after pictures! I look forward to the next facial! Thank you, Ashley!

    Depression in nasolabial area caused by filler dissolver
    Kathy K.

    I had a great phone consultation with Adrienne where she assured me she was experienced in applying filler in the areas I was interested in which are trickier and more high risk. She was very personable and welcoming. The day before my appointment I was told she was having a medical issue and could not see me. They said I could see Jenny who was an experienced injector. On the day of the appointment Jenny rushed through an assessment, admitted she wasn't comfortable doing many of the injection areas and instead only applied filler in my nasolabial folds. The product she used was so thick and her placement was so topical that it created a ridge that puffed out where the fold has been. I have been getting filler for years and never experienced this side effect so I called the office. They instructed me to wait two weeks and then if it still bothered me to come in. Two weeks later Adrienne agreed that it was poorly placed but her only option was to dissolve it. I had two sessions of dissolver and no longer have the ridge but a deep pocket where my own collagen has now been depleted. I mentioned to her that I was going to another medspa for a treatment she didn't offer and she chided me in a very rude way as if I was a child. She said I shouldn't be hopping around to different places. I explained to her that I had come yo her spa because my regular spa had been affected by covid restrictions and wasn't doing filler near the nose or mouth and the other place offered a radio frequency treatment that neither of them offered. She lost any future business at that point. Overall a very poor experience and 3 months later I still have to deal with a sunken fold where the filler was dissolver that ate away my own facial fat.

    Adrianne has been doing my lips for a little over a year now and I've been so happy with the results! Everybody at Encore medspa is so kind and welcoming and the place is super nice and clean! I was super nervous getting lip fillers for the first time because I didn't want them to look obvious or overfilled. Adrianne listened and knew exactly what to do. She made me feel really comfortable throughout the process and I loved the results so much I've been back three times since! I honestly feel so much more confident and beautiful and it's all thanks to Adrianne!

    So good!!!!

    Do they do the Russian Lip technique?

    Adrianne has done Russian lips for me but I'm pretty sure her technique is much much better than the Russian Lip (I have had both). I would trust her opinion on the best technique for your lips.

    What's the cost per vial for Sculptra?

    Your initial consult is complimentary and we have packages that can change the price per vial. Thanks!

    Yes with Jenny.

The front desk lady said it's going to cost me $104.. today when I came out the session they charged me$208 , when I asked why, they said it's $104 for each area. They neglected to inform me from the beginning that they charge for each area separately, and when I brought it up with the front desk lady, she said that Groupon does a different deals than what they offer on site, how ridiculous it is to say something like that when the Business is working with Groupon and decide which deals to do, apparently she didn't know what she was talking about, but she had the balls to argue with me, young lady sitting in the front desk being rude, and keep arguing about stuff that she has no idea about!

I've actually been a loyal customer for years and have even recommended friends and family here, which makes this situation even more upsetting. When I was sold this package, I was clearly told that I would be able to choose which body areas I wanted treated at each appointment. This flexibility was a major reason I agreed to move forward. However, when I recently called to schedule an appointment for a specific area, I was told that I must do full body treatments and cannot select individual areas, which directly contradicts what I was told at the time of purchase. On top of that, I was also told I could use a credit card for payments, but when they attempted to run my card, I was then told I had to use a debit card instead. This was not communicated upfront, and I had specifically clarified this before purchasing. I reached out to the business directly to resolve this. Someone from the facility did call me back and said that upper management would follow up with me, but I never received a call. It has now been over two weeks with no response. I made a good-faith effort to handle this privately, but the lack of follow-through and the inconsistency in what was promised vs. what is being delivered is extremely disappointing--especially for a $4,000 service. At this point, I feel that the package was misrepresented during the sales process, and the lack of communication from management only adds to the frustration.
