Vienna Skin Clinic

I first heard of Vienna Skin Clinic through my coworker who had some work done there. She told me that it was a new clinic offering affordable skin procedures. She had her face done there to lighten up her freckles and spots. She looked really good and I barely noticed any more dark spots. Before, she had a sun damaged face and numerous freckles due to being on a volleyball team on the weekends. Anyway, I decided to give the clinic a shot since it made her look a lot better. Why not try it? Also, I checked out the prices and they seem to be the lowest in the bay area.I wanted both photo facial lPL on my legs as well as Laser Hair Removal.

After my initial consult with Dr. Le, I decided to do the two treatments right away. I first went with the laser hair removal, and after the first treatment, I noticed a reduction of at least 50% of my leg hair. It was painful but I took it like a man and plus the numbing cream and air cooling machine helped. I wanted Dr. Le to put a high setting for my laser because I wanted fast, quick results and it really worked. Also, the fact that my leg hair was coarse and dark, which makes it easier to fall off.

The next 2 weeks, I went in for Photo facial for my leg. I know it sounds strange, but I had a bad skin disease a few years back and it made my whole upper right leg all dark. On top of that, I had hair growing on it. I was always in long shorts and pants because it did not want anyone to get grossed out. I was hoping photo facial will help lighten the pigments, even though Dr. Le did not guarantee it. In fact, he tried to talk me out of it since it was not in his protocol and might not help me at all. I was desperate to try anything to help me get rid of the ugly dark spot and I insisted he go ahead and do the treatment. I am sure glad it worked! Within a week, my leg lightened up a lot. The dark spot seemed to smooth out and the color was a lot lighter.

I am know currently on my fourth treatment with the Photo facial and the dark spot has faded significantly.It looks like just a light beige on my white legs. I also use bleaching cream as well on the spot and stay away from any sunlight on my leg. Every little thing helps. I have one more treatment to go and am very confident that my leg will look normal again.As for the laser hair removal, I just have about 10 hairs on my legs. I do have one more treatment to go as well. I am very happy with my results and looking forward to showing off my SEXY legs in the summer:) Dr. Le does fantastic work and the prices are unbelievably cheap.

Vienna Skin Clinic is an answer to my prayers!!! I have always done cosmetic procedures and have always wished for high quality treatments with an affordable price. I've literally spent thousands on Botox, Restylane, and skin procedures before discovering Vienna Skin Clinic on Wave Magazine. I thought there must be a catch because of the extremely low prices and the fact that every procedure is performed by a doctor. I decided to also check reviews on Yelp and felt comfortable enough to schedule a Fotofacial Packet because of all the great reviews. Also, the price was 1/2 of what other places were charging.

Before checking out Vienna Skin Clinic, I also checked out PureMED SPA which charged over $1700 for a packet of 5 and done by a nurse. I also dropped by American Laser Centers which charged $2250 for a packet of 5 and that price was 25% off their regular price of $3000.00. When I went in for a consult at American Laser Centers, the receptionist looked at my face and told me I needed it. I did not even get to sit down with an MD. Very unprofessional, they seemed to be only concerned about selling packets. I also called Dr. Noodleman, Berman MD, and Dr. Bitter's office. They all charged over $2500.00 for 5 packets of fotofacial.

Vienna Skin Clinic only charges $980.00 for 5 packets. My free consultation with Dr. Le went very well. He examined my face thoroughly and honestly told me what to expect. He told me that he can get rid of all my sunspots but not my deep scar on my cheek, due to a burn I got when I was 3 yrs old. However, it will be lighter and not as noticeable. I decided to go ahead and purchase a packet.

Upon my first treatment, I was very, very impressed. My face looked a lot more youthful! My skin was tighter, my pores shrunk, my sunspots were a lot lighter and some even had disappeared!! Most importantly, my scar which was darker than the rest of my face became a lot lighter and blended in with the rest of my skin. I hardly noticed it.

I just finished my fifth treatment and my skin looks amazing. 90% of my blemishes have disappeared and my skin looks so pure, just like when I was in elementary school. I never thought I could look so good. My scar has blended in so well that I go out without makeup all the time and can hardly see the scar. Other people do not even know I have a scar until I point it out. Even then, some cannot even see it. Prior to Fotofacial, the scar was so noticeable and people would ask me all the time why I had a scar. I now get so many compliments on how my face glowed and what products I used. I proudly tell them I get Fotofacial done with Dr. Le at Vienna Skin Clinic as well as use his skincare line, Vienna Health and Beauty.

I have just scheduled Botox for my forehead and Restylane for my lips. I expect good results as well. I will definitely update once I get them done.

Update 1:
I just did both my botox and restylane. The results were incredible. My botox gave me the lift I needed . It was natural looking yet effective. I looked years younger and my forehead creases and crow's feet have disappeared. The procedure was painless and I saw results in two days. Very well done! I LOVE my restylane job for my lips. My lower lips now have a very sexy, sultry pout. My upper lips are just given the right amount of fullness. I look absolutely sexy without looking overdone unlike some actresses I have seen on television ( For example, Nikki from the show Las Vegas, The creator of the PussyCat dolls, Ex Motley Crew lead singer Vince Niel's wife whom I recently saw on either E! or VH-1. All these women are beautiful, but they overdo their restylane so much that they look like they have fish lips.) Thank God, my lips were full,sexy, but natural looking. I highly recommend both botox and restylane with Dr. Le. Not only is the price unbeatable but his workmanship is excellent.
