Escobedo Skin Center

The place is not hard to find. Doctor is Professional and responsible. The doctor gave me instruction in a private room and was very easy to talk to him. His stuffs are nice and hard-working. I felt welcomed when I went to visit. One thing I would like to point out is what SKETCHY commented here..... While I was visiting, one of the staffs also promoting the teeth whitening product to me. I was very happy to buy it. I tried it and I liked the result and I am going back to buy more. To SKETCHY..if when u were not able to afford the product while they tried to sell (all business will promote their products, and that is absolutely normal...will you complaint about the dairly utility you use promoted by the retail?No!) you should not take personally. I was happily accepted the offer and used is everyday. The result is safisfying. I will definately return more for the worth.

Pros: reasonable price, friendly atmosphere, great results.

Cons: none

This doctor is pro. His stuffs are friendsly and helpful. The price is reasonable. (anyone...you wanna beauty..you gotta pay for the price. otherwise don't complaint about your look or whatsoever)I was reading through the comment made by MASETI...I think this person who made such comment is NUTS. This person is being unfair and not telling the truth. There is no evidence of explaination from him/her. I have been visiting this doctor for a while and everything that I experienced was great. There are lots of professional medical training certificates hanged on the wall in his office, and he graduated from mecidal school. You could tell by the first time when you walk in to the office that this guy is so professional. He was very friendly while he gave me the instruction. He respect my dicision if I wanted to do or not. The results were great. I highly recommand everybody to give a try.

Pros: professional doctor, friendly stuffs, good results,

I had decided to get IPL done for my sun spots and uneven skin tone. At only 27, it is very bothersome to have such splotchy skin, and although I avoid the sun like the plague (now) and have gotten chemical peels from other facilities, the spots are still there. I called Dr.Escobedo's office and they got me in the very same day, which could very well explain my long wait once I got there, so I can't complain too much. The doctor came in and assessed my "damage" and went over a plan of care. His staff then prepped me for the IPL by applying lidocaine and then later a gel. I was extremely scared that this would be painful, as I have had smoothbeam laser treatment done for my acne about 2 years ago and that felt like a rubber band popping in to my face as hard as it could. I was surprised to find that there was NO PAIN AT ALL. The doctor explained what he was doing the entire time, and was very gentle. After the fact, I was afraid that my face would look horrible and I wouldn't be able to go in public, wrong again. My face is a little brown today, nothing makeup can't fix, and I look fine so far. He was less aggressive on the first treatment to make sure my fair skin would not have any issues and that is something I really appreciated, a doctor who actually takes his time and does things right the first time. Honestly, I have gone to other cosmetic dermatologists in Austin, but this experience was so good, I don't have to continue my search. Thank you for the great experience, and for making me look like a million bucks, but for a lot less :)
Oh and by the way, I bought this amazing mineral SPF from his office that you brush on like powder, it is sweat proof, UVA/B/C resistant and it smells awesome, everyone should buy it :)

Pros: Friendly Staff, Gentle, Took their time

Cons: Long wait

I had the Vaser treatment with Dr and I am very happy with my results. The main advice I would give is to shop around for prices and see if he can compete. Although I got the treatment for 3500 for 3 areas, but this is because I won something at their Night of Beauty that I wasn't a canidate for. I would definetly go back here to have another treatment. Since then I have had thermage done of the face and I can really see a difference. I love the results from both of my services. The staff is nice, especially the receptionist there named Iris. She was really helpful with getting my paperwork together and answering all of my questions, and if it hadn't been for her I probably would have opted out.

Pros: Effective treatments

Cons: High cost

I visited the Escobedo Skin Center for a consultation appointment w Dr. Escobedo. This place is hard to find. While I was filling out paperwork ,one of the girls behind the desk was telling me about signing up for teeth whitening. I wasn't interested and thought it was odd. While I waited to meet with the doctor, she stepped out to smoke, then came back in and pressured me about the teeth whitening. After my consultation with the doctor, he offered to do the treatment that day. I stepped in to a TINY room for the treatment. Very uncomfortable. While he was doing the treatment he launched in to the high pressure sales pitch of teeth whitening. The services were cheaper than other offices, but this place was sketchy. Will not return.

Pros: price; immediate appointments available

Cons: location, atmosphere, service style

I recently went to Escobedo Skin Center to have a facial with Monica. I have to say she is amazing at what she does. It was relaxing and smelled good. She told me the skincare she used on me was organic. I have had facials at other places but hated them because of that strong chemical smell. My skin looked better one day later, which is hard to do since most of the time I break out. I also have been having eyelash extensions done with her. Monica really knows what she's doing, they look gorgeous and I couldn't be happier. They are the cheapest in town for eyelashes, not like those pricey other places that you spend 300 + and then some. She does such a good job, Be sure to tip her!

Pros: Cheap facials and eyelash extensions, Monica is such a gem! She'll even come in on Mondays or stay late

Cons: Location is tricky, but defintely worth finding

I was sketchy about seeing Dr Mike since I have read some bad reviews on other sites, but after talking to a member of his staff to schedule my free consultation my mind was at ease. I had a consult with a staff member and then Dr Mike himself. He was really helpful and friendly and the receptionist girl help me get set up for financing. After having my procedure done I am completly happy, they even called me the day after to see how I was doing. I have been to alot of other med spas in town with cheaper prices, and cheaper results. This place is truly a rare gem of Austin, I would never consider going anywhere else.

Pros: Great results, Nice staff

Cons: Location can be a little tricky if you live far North

I loved my experience at this place! I was in for a consultation because I was not sure how to approach my concerns that I had. I was surprised when I found out that the consultation was free. After the consultation I felt better knowing my options. Dr. Escobedo was very informative. I went ahead and started my treatment. I am very happy with the results and without a doubt would refer my family and friends.

I have been a patient of Dr. Michael Escobedo for over 4 years now and have had many procedures done, always with excellent results. Dr. Escobedo is an excellent doctor who cares about his patients and their needs. I have had Botox, Restylane, Microdermabrasion and Photofacials, along with Thermage done on my face and neck, eyes, arms, abdomen, and legs. I love the results! I have also had permanent eye liner and Dr. Escobedo is like a mastered artist with his patients as his canvas! I truly believe he is the best in Austin.

Pros: Very knowledgeable and qualified. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Cons: None

Dr. Mike Escobedo was one of the first physicians to offer botox and collagen. He was honest with his evaluation of my skin condition. He provided me with aggressive yet safe alternatives to plastic surgery such as the photofacial. I have seen people who have gone to other doctors and I assure you he is the best! He told me he was starting to do silicon facial injections for permanent results, I cant wait!

Pros: Honest, Experienced, Intelligent

Cons: Pricey but worth it, appts. 4 weeks out, hard to find
