Hormonal acne, during my pregnancy and now postpartum. When I started seeing her, my goal was to control and improve my acne. I have exceeded that goal and am now confidently rocking my skin makeup-free. Her knowledge of skin and how to care for it is extensive. She analyzes your skin and gives an in-depth recommendation on a home routine. She is judgment-free when I'm not consistent with my routine and helps me get back on track. She is worth every penny. With consistency, you will see improvement and enjoy every visit, as she is not only an amazing esthetician but also an even better human being.

Before I even arrived, she texted me the morning of with the office address how to get there and wish me safe travels. Once I was there, the space was incredibly clean light and airy, and she proved to be super knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. The appointment never felt rushed even though there was someone scheduled for right after me. She analyzed all my products that I brought & told me why certain ingredients should not be used. She then put the good ones in one pile the 'not so good' ones in another- I threw the 'not so good' ones out immediately and had no qualms about doing so by the end of our appointment together. Katerina got a sense of what my routines were (or weren't) and gave me some helpful suggestions that have since become staples in my routine and my skin is significantly better. I would certainly go back the next time I'm passing through the Albany, New York area.

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. UNLAWFULLY OPERATED…read more The practice is run by a Physician Assistant (PA), but New York State law clearly states that PAs must work under the supervision of a licensed physician. When I asked to speak with their Medical Director, I was told they didn't have one. (Article 131-B of the New York Education Law governs the practice of physician assistants in the state.) The injector GiGi performed unauthorized treatments, including injecting Botox into my gummy lines--something I never requested or approved. When I returned to address the poor results, the PA had to step in to sternly direct the injector to only use half an injection to fix the Spock brow I had been left with. Despite these efforts, the results were far from satisfactory. My appearance resembled what can only be described as a "serial killer" smile. (See below pictures) They also convinced me to choose a "lip flip" instead of lip fillers, claiming it would help "quiet my facial muscles" before injections. It's unclear whether the resulting smile was caused by the lip flip or the unauthorized gummy line injections, but the outcome has been devastating. Even three months later, my smile is still not back to normal, despite being told that the effects would wear off quickly. The dismissive attitude that mistakes don't matter because "Botox wears off" is unacceptable. If a procedure's effects last for months, the least they can do is get it right the first time. Another alarming issue is their lack of transparency. While consent and waiver forms are uploaded to the online portal, they fail to include any documentation of the injection sites. This omission feels deliberate, and it makes me question what they might be trying to hide. On a personal level, this experience ruined what should have been a joyful time. I had just returned from a 10-month military deployment and was looking forward to reuniting with my loved ones. I wanted to look refreshed and less stressed, but instead, I ended up feeling self-conscious and unattractive. I even asked my boyfriend to delay proposing because I didn't want to look this way in engagement photos. It's heartbreaking that such a special moment had to be put on hold because of their carelessness. The staff assured me that what happened to me was rare and that the effects would subside quickly. However, after extensive research, I found only one similar case online, which confirms that my experience is far from normal.

Jan got me started on pedi & mani with diligent young lady- was great! By 1:12pm Jan was finally ready to cut my hair after shampooing, $15 eyebrow wax that she talked me into, & finally voila, a $55 10-min haircut with no layers nor shape. I asked for side bangs 3 times & each time was met with resistance. "I don't want to cut too short" I gave up after the third ask. Conversation was also intrusive - where do you live? What's your job? What's your ethnicity? This is supposed to be a relaxing experience, not an interrogation. Total bill $145. Will not be going back for sure.

I feel inclined to write this review after seeing some bad reviews, and I'd like to remind everyone how people are typically only encouraged to leave reviews when they are unhappy. Not to mention reviews are now used as weapons against businesses. My favorite service to get are massages, they have a great selection of unique massages and add ons I don't see anyone else offering. The amenities have always been clean and available- it's never over crowded. I appreciate the little things they offer, if you use their amazing shower they provide razors, deodorant, moisturizer, q tips and whatever else you may need for an after shower routine. Beyond massages I've done plenty of facials (love the hydra facials), laser hair removal and waxing. I hope to book a consult with the medspa soon! I've always admired Complexions from a business point of view, as I now also own a small business and Denise is a genius from this perspective! Her skincare line is admirable - and so refreshing!
