Focus Derm Institute - Medical Spas Near Me - Alhambra, California

See all

The Pico laser is amazing! I was concerned about the large pores on my face and my enlarging mole. I was told that it didn't work on moles, but I was determined to try anyway. My skin looks more even, and my pores are much smaller and my skin looks smoother. At first my mole became larger and darker but after 1 week, the top layer of the skin flaked off and my originally raised mole became smaller and less raised. I am so happy with my results. read more

I have been wanting to do Pico for a very long time to treat sunspots and mild rosacea. I finally decided to do it with Focus Derm after my initial consultation with the Sophia the PA. She was so patient and walked me through the entire process of what to expect during and after the treatment. When I came in for my appointment, Yuan walked me to the treatment room and numbed my entire face since I was still undecided about spot treatment vs whole face. Sophia told me I could wait for the entire face and get spot treatment only since the spots weren't too big. It was comforting to know that the staff took into consideration what treatments I needed and did not pressure me into getting more! The procedure itself was not painful. Sophia stopped every time she saw that I fidgeted a bit more. I saw a decrease in redness to my rosacea spots within a few days! Can't wait to finish my remaining sessions! read more

Just had my first treatment a few weeks ago. Decided to wait for my skin to calm down and heal from the laser treatment before writing a review. For some background on my skin, I have pale, oily, sensitive skin with acne scars and sun spots. The laser treatment itself was pretty painful but that was because my skin is lighter than most so I was started off with a stronger laser. The ice pack they provide greatly helped with soothing my skin after. Tip: shave your facial hair before treatment as it hurts more with facial hair(especially the hair around your lips). They provided a facial treatment after the laser which included a rubber mask and skin regenerative serum that helps your skin heal faster after laser. The rubber mask definitely helped a lot. My skin was feeling super dry and irritated but once I had the mask, my skin completely calmed down and didn't feel dry. Now that it's been a few weeks after treatment, some improvements I've noticed and the people around me have noticed is that my pores are smaller. My overall complexion has evened out. My lighter scars and sun spots are pretty much gone. I'm more confident in showing my bare face . I will definitely be coming back for more treatments to completely remove my spots. read more

This place was recommended to me by my dermatologist. I have rosacea and A LOT of sun spots. Due to my sensitive skin, I've been very reluctant to try any thing. Upon doing some research on my own, I realized that unlike other lasers picosure uses pressure instead of heat. I've had 2 sessions so far, and boy was I surprised. On the first session I only did my cheek bones (where most of my sun spots are located). The process took about 40mins, the PA first did the laser treatment which was quite painful in my opinion (level 5-6). But the mask that they put on me right after the procedure really helped relieved the burning sensation. Nicole was very informative about post procedure care for my sensitive skin. She even recommended a few products that works well for sensitive skins. The redness lasted about 3-4 days for me. The hot feeling lasted only a few hours. Not to my surprise, I did break out for a few days. But after my skin settled down my skin felt sooooooo smooth! The texture of my skin improved greatly. My pores shrunk too! Lolx On the 2nd session I mustered up the courage to do my full face. Same symptoms, but this time the break out and redness only lasted about 2 days. My skin healed faster than the first time. Overall, this did help the complexion and texture of my skin improve. My sun spots aren't as visible as before. The PA told me that picosure DOES NOT heal my rosacea, but by removing my sunspots and improving the over all complexion of my skin it does help lower the visibility of my rosacea. I totally agree, my friends have told me my "blemishes" aren't as red as they use to be. Will definitely get in a few more sessions to help eliminate my sunspots and the free gel mask treatment at the end is definitely a plus read more

I did Picosure for the whole face; filler for cheek and tear line; botox for forehead. Love PA Sofia, she is knowledgable, patient and calming. For the filler, I was originally aiming for the nasal folds. She suggested to do the upper cheek, and normally minor nasal fold will improve once cheek been lifted up. I love the result and she was RIGHT! They do evaluate your face and gave you amazing suggestions, not just do what you asked for or pushing for more. It was my first time for the picosure. I cannot love it more. After just one time, my whole face toned up, brightened. I see my skin glowing once I have just BB cream on. As suggested, a tons of hydrating masks after picosure. My skin absorbs mask quicker than before!!! This will be my routine maintenance medi spa. I cannot wait to recommend it to my friends. read more

I recently experienced the Picosure Laser at this place. Overall, the laser, which was passed over my face twice, along with cool ice bag for extra comfort.

My skin looked brighter after few days, also my skin feels super soft and smooth. I highly recommend Focus Derm Institute.

I'm eager to visit her again on my next trip and look forward to bringing my friends. Definitely recommend her!! read more

Be aware!! It's very disappointed and upset experience. After reading all the good reviews, I was expecting my spot will fade. Don't know how these good reviews coming from??? Didn't expect spot to be completely disappear on my first visit but at least I should see some result but unfortunately didn't see any improvement. Wasting time and money!! Do some study before getting into the traps. Nicole come out with different excuses that why there's no improvement. read more

This was probably the best experience I've ever had going into a Med Spa. The spa is clean and overall ambiance is true relaxation and pampering. Sophia Fong (PA) and her assistant were friendly, exteremly professional and able to answer all questions prior to my treatment. Miss Fong was very knowledgable and took time to explain things throughly throughout the treatment. I had heard, HIFU treatments are very painful but, I had no pain or discomfort. In addition to I was treated to a lovely facial with the most wonderful products. I am very happy with the results. The treatment was worth it in every way. Thank you for a great experience. read more

Awesome! They service is really good, nurses are so friendly. I'm so happy whit the result on my face skin even after first treatment.

I was being skeptical in the beginning about Picosure laser overall but was referred to this clinic by a friend. The PA is really professional and knowledgeable, she and the staff were very attentive who made the process smooth and let someone like me as first timer feel comfortable. My treatment is quite effective; actually it's better than I expected which changed my overall perception about the Picosure laser treatment. Strongly recommend about this place. read more
