Becky Brunner Face…read moreForward Aesthetics Skin Care, Medical Spas Beavercreek, OH Jan 9, 2025 Clients BEWARE! The worst results I have ever had. I had Botox and cheek filler performed at the Beavercreek, Ohio location. The Botox on my forehead was uneven leaving one eye higher then the other eye and I still had significant wrinkling over one eye. The filler I asked for on my cheeks has been a nightmare. When the nurse was injecting me she was putting the filler under my eyes when I had told her to place it on the flat areas of my cheeks. I have previously had over the past 2 years been seeing a facial plastic surgeon for my injections but he was unavailable over the holidays. I told her I had never had fillers placed under my eyes yet she continued. The results were horrific! The skin under my eyes had turned white ...known as blanching from improper injecting. This also left large puffy bags under my eyes that I never had before. When the nurse was finished I was still left with the same issues I came in with and a bill of $989.00. When I called the next day I was told I needed to wait at least 2 weeks for a consultation. In the meantime I saw my plastic surgeon and he was quite concerned and shocked with the uneven, unnatural, and unnecessary placement of the filler under my eyes leaving what is called FESTOONS (large bags). When I went for my follow up at Face Forward I came to find out the nurse who did my injections was no longer there... I wondered why?? The staff clearly could see my concerns and offered to dissolve the filler they had put in the wrong area (under my eyes) and wanted to charge me and additional $650.00 to put the filler in the proper place. so in essence they wanted to dissolve their mistake and the filler I had paid $650.00 for. They should have put it in the correct place to begin with. They don't listen and place the fillers where they want to. What a terrible , unprofessional lack of follow through patient care. Face Forward did not stand by their work they are more concerned about making money at the expense of there clients. I also want to note that I returned immediately after my follow up appointment when I realized I had forgotten my car keys to find the entire staff laughing.,So disrespectful. Save your money and a lot of headaches ..stay away from Face Forward.

The clinic was super clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The provider, Shkurte, did an amazing job educating me about the procedure, explaining everything we planned to do during the session, and answering all my questions. She wasn't pushy at all and was upfront about what I should or shouldn't get done. She made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Their prices are incredibly affordable as compared to other places out there. I definitely recommend getting the annual membership package, it saves you so much money and is the best deal I've ever seen. Overall, it was a great first time experience, and I will 100% be returning to her in the future!

5 Stars - Transformative Massage Experience with Ling Wimple…read more Last Sunday, I booked a last-minute massage at Kettering Spa because my neck and back were really bothering me after a weekend of yard work and moving. I had never been there before, but their great reviews and an open appointment made it an easy choice--and I'm so glad I went. My massage therapist, Ling Wemple, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly thorough and clearly very knowledgeable. Not only did she use effective massage techniques, but she also incorporated stretching and other therapeutic modalities that really targeted my problem areas. From the moment we started, she focused on my concerns with professionalism and genuine care. I felt noticeably better right away--Ling truly went above and beyond. In the past, I've enjoyed massages, but typically only went if someone gave me a gift certificate. After this session, I realized the true therapeutic benefits of massage. It's no longer just a luxury for me--I'll be scheduling regularly with Ling moving forward. Highly recommend Kettering Spa, especially if you can book with Ling!

I have been searching for 10 years for a good wax person who takes their time and takes pride in doing a good job. I got eyebrows (free as a first time client), lip, chin, and lower arms. Painless overall. My chin is the problem area as the skin is sensitive but the hair is very difficult to come out which requires a lot of time plucking after the wax. Akirah was amazing and professional. She definitely took her time and takes pride in what she does. She was knowledgeable and very friendly. She made me feel comfortable from the get go. She would explain what she was doing and ask before she did something (plucking eyebrows) to ensure I was good with it. The pricing is very on point compared to other places I have been. I already made my 2nd appointment.

However, when I called to schedule, not only did the lady on the phone have to put me on hold to find the answer to every question, but I was informed that I could not schedule the Remodel or any facial (as the same lady performs them all) for almost two months. I did go ahead and schedule and request to be put on the cancelation list. UPDATE: I was called for an opening within a week of being placed on the cancelation list. The woman who owns La De Da performed the facial, Christine Price, and it was incredible. I can understand why people love this place. Christine was very friendly and skillful. To begin, I was placed on a heated bed/table and a steady flow of warm steam was directed towards my face. After many different cleansers were applied and facial massages performed, the Remodeling began. It is (as I understand it) two pads which conduct a particular current which helps to strengthen the fascia in the face. The pads feel a bit like ants marching on your skin, not unpleasant but a bit odd. However, all the proof you need for this treatment is in the mirror after a session. I looked more awake and alert, and immediate scheduled another one. CONCLUSION: I still wish the wait time was less and that the front desk staff were a little more knowledgable and friendly, but the remodel facial with Christine makes the wait worth it!

This was genuinely one of the worst medical experiences my mother and I have ever had…read more From the moment we walked in, the entire office felt cold, dismissive, and incredibly rude. The receptionist and assistant were both abrasive and unwelcoming, but the dermatologist herself was by far the worst part of the experience. (Dr. Martha Hickmann) During the exam, she SCRATCHED my mother's irritated skin with her bare fingernails while examining the area. Not only was this incredibly uncomfortable, but it also felt completely unsanitary and unprofessional. There was no warning, no gentleness, and no respect for basic bedside manner. Her overall attitude throughout the appointment was shockingly condescending. Every question we asked was met with snarky, dismissive responses as if we were stupid for asking normal medical questions. When my mother asked about potential scarring from a procedure, the doctor sarcastically replied, "Every surgical procedure causes a scar," in a tone that was clearly meant to belittle rather than educate. Instead of offering reassurance or a thoughtful explanation, she acted irritated that she even had to answer. The entire appointment felt rushed and careless. Rather than explaining anything clearly or showing confidence and expertise, she seemed to just throw random possibilities around without much insight or certainty. It genuinely felt like guessing rather than informed medical care. What made the experience even worse was how physically invasive and disrespectful she was. She repeatedly put her hands on people without asking, handled irritated skin aggressively, and showed absolutely no awareness of patient comfort whatsoever. There is a massive difference between being direct and being rude, and this office crossed that line repeatedly. We left feeling uncomfortable, dismissed, and honestly upset by how unnecessarily demeaning the entire interaction was. I would absolutely never recommend this dermatologist or this office to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, or respectful care. The entire experience was awful from start to finish.
