Afterglow Medical Spa

Loved Dr. Falvo and her staff. I will be a regular from now on. Clean, professional, reasonably priced.

Loved my experience with Afterglow Medical Spa! From the moment that I walked in the door of this intimate space, I was warmly greeted and was made to feel at ease. I was there for a consultation with Dr. Falvo and was thinking about having the IPL laser therapy done. ( a friend had referred me) After meeting with Dr. Falvo she explained to me that because of my brown spots were caused from pregnancy and not sun damage that I was probably not a good candidate for the IPL procedure. Instead she recommended that I go through an extensive 6 week microderm and chemical peel process that would help to re texture my skin and lighten the dark patches. The recommended procedure was considerably less expensive than the one I originally went in for ! I have had two treatments so far by their caring esthetician ( who gives an awesome facial massage btw) and have already seem a tremendous improvement. I strongly recommend this office to anyone that is looking for honest, realistic results with a caring, informative staff.

I've never tried any type of chemical or laser treatments on my face. I learned about Radiesse and researched it extensively. I liked the fact that the results lasted about a year and that it stimulated your own collagen production. I was intrigued, yet a bit afraid: after all, it is my face, and I didn't want to risk scarring. I appreciated having a true physician, Dr. Falvo, answer my medical questions, and I was reassured. We took a before photo and she followed my directions for a conservative dosage. I can't stand needles, but I was thrilled that her skillful needle technique didn't hurt at all. The only side effect was a mild bruising that I covered with a good concealer that I use for my under-eye circles. About 6 weeks later, I went back for my "after" photo. Then I could really see the difference in the creases around my mouth! Because the results were so gradual, no one asked if I had had anything "done."

When I went in for injectable fillers, I had had them previously. I was aware that swelling and bruising might mildly occur. I was told by the doctor that it might not be a great idea if I was going to be out in public, but after a little persuasion from her aestitician I decided to go for it! The treatment was aggressive, the pain was intense, and the final result is a purple line on my face where the filler was placed. Any questions I asked seemed to be answered nervously, and basically...not answered. If I were to get anything like this done again, I would go to a more knowledgeable location with a more credible background.

I don't usually do these sort of things but I am so delighted about the results that have taken place! I am a 43 year old woman and have been suffering with adult acne for about 10 years. I feel like I have tried just about everything, and tried almost every type of prescription. When my dermatologist suggested that we use accutane as my last resort, I immediately balked at the idea and started looking elsewhere. A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Falvo. I made an appointment with her and she suggested a series of treatmens with microdermabrasion and chemical peels specifically for acne. Long story short, it has only been 4 weeks since I have started treatment t and my skin has not looked this good since I was a teenager. As an added bonus it has really reduced the appearance of my wrinkles and scarring. Carrie the aesthetician has done an excellent job. I HIGHLY recommend going here.
