Nouveau Medspa is my saving grace! I thought I had to accept aging such as small lines, and…read moremelasma. I figured my time for young healthy glowing skin was a thing of the past. Since getting regular treatments at Nouveau, with procedures such as potenza treatments, skin peels, salmon DNA, hydrafacial, and using the ZO medical skin care line, my skin has never looked better. I am getting compliments from friends and strangers telling me how good my skin looks. I have never been a huge makeup person and learning and devoting more time to skincare has helped elevate and bring new skin growth to the surface. It's about exfoliation and giving my skin the nutrients it needs. My skin feels supple and recharged. Now when I say I'm 51 years old, I am met with amazement and questions of what have you gotten done. I am so happy with all the treatment and staff at Noveau Medspa.

After years of struggling with melasma and dark spots caused by sun exposure and pregnancy, I feel…read moreincredibly grateful to finally have found a dermatologist I truly trust -- Dr. McLain at Peninsula Dermatology. Before seeing Dr. McLain, my journey with melasma was frustrating and emotionally exhausting. Years ago, I learned how complex and difficult melasma can be to treat, especially for deeper skin tones. After moving to Washington, I visited a med spa where I was confidently told that Moxie laser treatments would improve my pigmentation. Unfortunately, after two sessions, the heat from the laser worsened my melasma, leaving my skin darker and more damaged than before. By the time I found Dr. McLain, I had become extremely cautious and fearful about pursuing further treatment. I waited six months for my appointment, and from the very first visit, I knew I was finally in the right hands. Dr. McLain combines exceptional knowledge with genuine compassion. Every appointment has been thoughtful, thorough, and never rushed. Despite his demanding schedule, he always takes the time to explain every detail, answer every question, and make sure I fully understand both the benefits and the risks of treatment options. That level of care is rare. What moved me most was his willingness to prioritize my safety and long-term results over convenience or production. Before considering Fraxel laser treatment, he offered to do a test spot on my skin first -- simply to ensure that my skin tone would respond safely and appropriately. As someone in healthcare myself, I understand that this is not something providers are obligated to do, especially when it adds extra time without benefit to them. Yet he still went above and beyond because he genuinely cared about doing what was best for me. The oral treatment plan he created has already helped my skin tremendously, but more than that, he restored my confidence and trust after a very discouraging experience. I truly appreciate not only Dr. McLain's expertise, but also the integrity, patience, and humanity he brings to patient care. I sincerely wish more healthcare providers approached patients with the same level of thoughtfulness and compassion. Patients remember that, and it makes all the difference.

There is misgendering and the typical insecurity I observe when folks don't know how to interact with me. I wrote it off as a first-time issue and politely accepted the apologies, etc. The second appointment was worse, and I felt ignored and unwelcome. If I hadn't been there with my best friend (a cis-woman who did not share my experience), I would have walked out immediately. There is one shining exception to my experience: Nurse Injector Aleigh. Aleigh has a meticulous practice and a holistic perspective and truly wants to improve the quality of life for her patients. She's fantastic, and I would love to work with her again, but not at this facility, ever!

The front desk was super welcoming and helpful, setting me up with some apps that give you discounts on products. My appointment with Aleigh was very informative, quick and as painless as it could possible be. I was really nervous going into it, but felt much less anxious after talking through the procedures. Loved it so much that I booked my follow up and can't wait to go back!

I see Zoee most often for my regular facial treatments. I not only highly recommend her, but have also booked my daughter for a teen facial and skincare consultation. I trust Zoee so much that I'm confident bringing my own child to her for guidance. She is knowledgeable, informative, welcoming, and she has made a dramatic impact on the health of my skin. I see Katrina for injectables and she is an exceptional provider. She's personable, consultative, and always mindful of my goals. She listens carefully and tailors her advice to fit my desired outcomes. Her deep knowledge and realistic outlook ensure that I feel supported every step of the way--whether or not it results in immediate services purchased. It is long term goals and care plans that she is creating and supporting. She is a trusted provider. What I love most is that I always feel cared for, and my results consistently meet or exceed my expectations. They strive to be educated and bring cutting edge services to their clients. Thanks so much for what you do, Ladies!
