Celibre Medical

I went to Celibre to improve the fine lines around my mouth. I ended up being injected with Restylane around the mouth, both for the lines above the upper lip and for an area at the side of my mouth that was turning down a bit (pouting look). I was extremely pleased with the area at the corners of the mouth because I did not even know that look could be improved with injections. I was a little more concerned with the lip area because I had slight lumpiness for a week or two after the procedure. It looks fine now but it would have been better if I was forewarned on that. Four weeks after the treatment I was happy with the results and would recommend Celibre based on the experience.

Pros: Good Results

Cons: Needed more info on expectations

My dermatologist actually referred me to Celibre. He was using an IPL for my Acne Rosacea and dry skin and I was not improving. I did not get my hopes up because I have tried a lot of treatments. My skin always looks chapped and nothing has been able to improve it. What I liked about the approach was that Lori, my nurse, did not start me on the laser treatments until we went over everything I was using on my face first to determine if something could be making the dryness worse. I was using a lot of products and we eliminated a few of them before starting the laser treatments. Three months later, I am happy to say that my skin has improved by leaps and bounds. The dryness and cracking is gone (maybe because of both the products I eliminated and the lasers) and my skin looks much fresher and younger with no irritation. I am sticking to a maintenance program of laser treatments every couple months to keep my skin looking the way it is now and I would recommend that to others with Acne Rosacea.

Pros: Time spent with nurse (Lori)

I went to Celibre the first time I tried Botox. I didn't know what to expect because it was my first time, but Michelle the nurse that treated me was very knowledgeable and willing to take the time to share her knowledge and experience and I liked that. She helped to get rid of the anxiety I had. I was worried about the lines around my eyes on the sides and after the treatment they were gone. I will be visiting again soon.

Pros: Took time to calm my anxiety

Posted 09/29/09

I was very hesitant to move forward with this company because I got the feeling like I was being rushed. But my sister was treating here and we carpool, so I figured I would go ahead.
I have been to other places in the past and frankly this one really pales. Almost every time I have to wait a LONG time and sometimes I feel rushed through the treatments - how can I get results? When I expressed my concern the nurse wasn't mean exately, but I kinda felt ignored. I would pass on this one.

Pros: none for me

Cons: unhappy with service and too pricy

Posted 08/18/09

Michelle was amazing throughout my treatments. She has a very special way of interacting with her patients and I really appreciate everything Celibre has done for me.

Pros: Michelle was amazing

Cons: bit far from me.

Posted 08/17/09

I was getting acne and acne scars treatment at Celibre Medical. Everyone treated me w/ so much respect and helpful to my every need. The scheduling was flexible fo me and I was very satisfied with the treatment. I reacted very well to the treatment and I hardly break out now which is good. I'm glad that I found Celibre.

Pros: Excellent schedule times, good results.

Posted 05/21/09

I went to Celibre for Botox and Restylane to look younger. Lori in the Torrance office did my treatments and I was very pleased with the results. I felt I looked 3-5 years younger after the injections. One of the best parts was the education about the procedure. We spent lots of time talking about different options and I really felt a part of the decision process.

Pros: Great Information from Lori

Posted 05/12/09

Michelle was very professional and gave very detail-oriented instructions pre and post treatment. Betsy is very professional and Michelle is the greatest.

Posted 01/08/09

Very professional yet the medical staff treat you as if you were their family. I loved thh reminder calls and email notifications. Medical staffs are very nice!!! I will take my mom here and come here again for another treatment.

Pros: Acne laser

Posted 01/04/09

I really enjoy coming in for my treatments and I was treated very good. I have seen a lot of chnage and improvement. It was very easy to schedule my free consultation and my questions were answered. They explained very clearly the results I would get and it was realistic. They were very nice and professional, I enjoyed my time here. I was able to get the day and time that worked with my schedule.

Posted 12/22/08

Love the entire staff. They made Celibre feel very home like. Very professional and made me feel comfortable. Always puts our feeling first and very attentive. Very honest and expectations were met. After being here I would not take my business anywhere else.

Posted 12/08/08

I just wanted to share my experience I had at Celibre. I have been to many facilities over the years from Beverly Hills to Newport Coast and Never have I had such amazing results. The nurse talked me into doing a few different areas with botox to my crow's feet as well as my smoker's lines on my upper lip and they are completely gone. Everyone tells me I look at least 5 years younger. But the best part was I had my lips augmented.......and they are gorgeous!!!! I was nervous at first that I would look like a duck, but she took her time with my treatment and I feel like I could take on Angelina Jolie. The staff is friendly, real, completely knowledgeable and made me feel completely at ease. They even offered a follow-up appointment so I could compare my pictures they took with my results. The price was reasonable...my results priceless.

Posted 12/07/08

Michele, the nurse was exceptional with me and Betsy always took care of me and worked with my schedule. My treatment program was for acne, scars and redness and I was very happy with my results.

Pros: Betsy, Michele

Posted 11/18/08

I received excellent support each and every time I phoned. Amazingly professional and very well organized. Very realistic expectations, so much is placed on the patient to participate. I enjoy what I see and will definitely refer people. Thank you SO much.

Pros: Cosmelan

Posted 11/18/08

Great staff with lots of energy. Redness diminished in stretch marks. Still waiting on final results.

Pros: Medicall Staff Members

Posted 11/03/08

Absolutely professional, knowledgeable + very caring! They always made every effort to accommodate my schedule.

Posted 10/28/08

Staff was very nice, professional and knowledgable. Much better than my first removal experience in Sacramento. Realistic, not pessimistic expectations.

Posted 10/06/08

I got stretch marks treated at Celibre and I'm happy with my results. I know my results will continue to improve over time and I appreciated all the extra attention they gave me. I would refer a freind if they looked like they needed it.

Pros: Great TLC from staff.

I had 1 treatment of laser tattoo removal at Celbre. Hurt like all hell. They told me to wait a few weeks before my next treatment and that I would slowly notice the tattoo fading. Nope! Two months later and my tattoo didn't fade at all. So I suckered myself into getting another treatment. When I went back I showed them my tattoo and their response was that maybe they didn't have the laser set high enough. Isn't the point of going to a place like this that they know what they are doing? I was already there so I got another treatment and lo and behold, two months later and still zero change. My tattoo looks the exact same as the day I got it. I know laser tattoo removal works because my brother did it in Washington and his tattoo is gone. Celibre just doesn't know how to do it.

Posted 09/21/08

I have been seeing good results as time goes by. My results are not perfect but I know that my acne is still a work in progress. Professional, kind and friendly is how I would describe the people I met at Celibre.

Pros: Great People

Cons: Bit slower than I had hoped for.

Posted 07/17/08

First I'd like to say that everyone at Celibre is very professional, knowledgeable and very nice. I had very high expectations based on the price of the treatment, but it was made clear during the consultation what I could expect. Ideally, I had hoped that I would have no visible spots or scars on my face, but I did realize that the there i sonly so much that can be done with lasers. I love the environment created by Celibre. It looks like a spa, but you get very professional, medical attention. I would recommend Celibre highly.

Pros: Very Professional Medical Service in Spa atmosphere.

Cons: Lasers may never be 100%

Posted 07/16/08

Definitely do not recommend this place. The nurse was lazy. She barely zapped a few areas, didn't do the edges of my bikini area at all (if you don't do the part that shows in a bikini what ths point) and even though they assured me a full bikini was whatever I shaved when I got there they told me they wouldn't do any further back or the inside of the labia majora). It would have been bad enough if they had just said "no we don't do that" but they told me it "couldn't be done" even though I know people who have done it (and have now done it myself). Then when she was done (a full bikini should take longer than 5 minutes) she said "oh it will come out spotty." Wrong again, everyone I know who has gotten it done had full shedding and THEN some hairs came back. If they do it right you should be hairless for several weeks after shedding before dormant hairs grow back in.
Do your research, understand what should happen and know what you want out of the experience. And don't pay someone $250 to lie to you.
In regards to their response to me: they may schedule you for 30 min but by the time I undressed and she spoke to me she spent 5 MINUTES actually using the laser. At the plastic surgeon's office I now go to they spent 30 minutes of actual laser removal. Furthermore, you may have certain "safety precautions" but I find it odd that other places do not use the same precautions. Where I go now (and where friends have gone in the past) they do a lot of over lap and did the labia major and butt area. And when I told them what your nurse told me they laughed that anyone would claim it was unsafe when done properly. Its odd that so many other DOCTORS OFFICES would not follow your same "safety procedures" and would be without massive lawsuits over burns. Just because your facility isn't trained to do it safely doesn't mean no one should.
Consumers - this place counts on you not understanding the process and relies on sketchy information.

Pros: Very clean, attractive office. People seem very friendly and professional. Easy parking.

Cons: Why go to a hair removal place that doesn't actually remove your hairs.

Posted 07/11/08

I'm going to miss coming every two weeks for my appointments :). This was a great and fun experience!

I would like to thank everyone at Celibre for everything. I really liked the ALA treatment. It helped so much and my face is clear of all cystic acne I had thanks to you guys. I will definetetely refer friends and family members here.

Pros: ALA

Posted 05/18/08

I went from hating my skin to actually getting compliments on it. I was very pleased with the results (acne and acne scars) and the staff.

Pros: Made me feel much better about my skin.

Posted 05/15/08

I first went here because I heard their advertisements all over the radio. The consultations were great, they seemed very helpful and made it seem like if the lasers didn't work that they would work with you until you are satisfied. Well after about 10 treatments, it wasn't working. They did a complimentary laser but it still didnt do any good. By the way I didnt have that much acne scarring and the last laser permanently burned my skin and left a mark on my forehead. I would never go back. The laser's they have are not up to date I think and they don't try to work with you so that you are happy with the results. They are more sales oriented. Total cost was about 4500 down the drain.

Pros: none

Cons: expensive and not very helpful once the money ran out

Posted 05/13/08

My acne is still a work in progress. Celibre helped me get it under control and now I am going to work on acne scars. Betsy was very friendly and personable. The staff was efficient and professional and I would recommend anyone considering laser acne treatments to visit Celibre.

Pros: I was very happy with the results.

Cons: Nurses treated me, not MD.

Posted 02/28/08

The experience at Celibre overall was very good. The staff made my treatments more enjoyable, they were very concerned about my pain and the results were almost all the way there. I might need one or two more treatments for all my hair to be gone. I will go back and I have referred friends.

Posted 12/16/07

I tried Celibre because the reviews seemed ok - obviously that was not a good idea. I feel that the expencations set were not realistic, as I have spent thousands and have not seen ANY imporvement in my acne. I don't mind spending the money - I just feel that there should be SOME result. N ormally the front office was ok, but when they were behind it was VERY evident because they really made you feel rushed, which wasn't comfortable. I would not recommend on expectations, price, and definately results.

Pros: Clean

Cons: Office staff, no results

Posted 12/12/07

I am very happy with my results for acne and acne scars treatments, but still it is not completely 100%. If you are orange County and want laser acne treatment, I would recomment this facility.

Pros: Vry happy

Cons: not 100% results

Posted 12/11/07

I went to Celibre for underarm laser hair removal and had an excellent experience. The hair is gone and I loved the people and location (5 and 22 in Orange). If you are looking for Orange County laser hair removal locations, I would check out Celibre.

Pros: Great Location and excellent results/staff

Cons: none that I found. I am recommending

Posted 12/11/07

I am very happy with the results for my acne and acne scar treatment. The staff was always smiling and attentive to my personal needs. They were always professional and answered all of my questions.

Posted 11/20/07

I am not breaking out as often, but still have some breakouts. The laser acne treatment helped me tremedously.

Pros: good for acne
