I was referred to Dr. V by a friend several years ago and I have never had anything less than exceptional experiences here. They have options I didn't even know existed! Thanks to them, I look better now in my 50's than I ever did in my 40's...thank you so much!! Updated on 24 Aug 2022: Always the best experience here. Dr V and staff are just the best...I've been coming here for several years and have ended up trying several procedures and loved the results each time...I highly recommend to everyone!!
Like always wonderful and great DR V is a very nice and great Master Injector I have been coming here since 2014.The stuff is great also. I will definitely recommend DR.V to anyone.....call her anytime
Dr V is AMAZING!!! I recently had Dysport + Restylane done and the results are wonderful. She is an artist in producing subtle tweaks that when combined made my face look totally refreshed. I was reluctant to start injections because of some of the overdone results I’ve seen around So Flo. Not to worry with Dr V! Everyone in the office is warm, patient and caring as well. Great experience for a first timer!
Dr. Vanden and her staff are amazing. Competent, compassionate, and result driven. I have a lot of wrinkles and I was not very disciplined with respect to skin care. Dr. Vanden educated me and treated me with unbelievable results that were visible days after treatment.
Dr. V and Melissa are wonderful, make you feel comfortable, and most importantly look your best. The office is run so smoothly with minimal wait time and they're able to work with your schedule for appointments. I received restylane in my lips and under eye area and a few units of botox. Dr V. knew the botox would make the difference I was looking for and she couldn't have been any more right. I have a facial with Melissa next week and I can't wait to see improvement with my skin!
I love Dr. V.!!! Everything always looks very natural, which is how I like it. Everyone is very nice and they make you feel like family. I have been going for about a year now and I always leave there feeling so good and looking amazing!
I've been seeing Dr. Vanden Bosch for 3 years, mostly for various fillers. I also saw Melissa for IPL. Let me start by saying they both are keeping me from needing a facelift. I've had incredible results maintaining my 62 year old face. I don't go in necessarily asking for a specific filler or areas where I think filler is needed, because Dr. V. listens to my concerns and what she addresses the issue perfectly, sometimes in facial areas I had not idea would make such a difference. Let me also add that the results are most perfectly natural. She won't let me get overfilled and I appreciate that because it's not always easy to remain objective about one's own aging face. I feel I look natural and I totally trust her. I also saw Melissa for IPL, something I initially wasn't interested in for I'd gotten used to all the brown spots on my face! However, since I had the IPL I probably have the best skin of my life. They are both extremely professional, courteous, and down-to-earth. The wait time for me has really been maybe 10 minutes, tops. They know I like to get in and get out and respect that. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Beautiful results. I hadn't been to see Dr. V in a few years because I had decided to allow my face to go natural in my late 50s. Now that my wedding is coming up I wanted to return to my best possible youth and beauty. Dr. V greeted me like an old friend and has done an amazing job at making me look natural yet much more beautiful.
I first started going to Dr V about 4 years ago. She’s the best. She Listens to your concerns and gives you the best solution; to make you look your best. I highly recommend her. The staff is very friendly and professional.
I've been having Sculptra injections for about 15 years, so I consider myself very familiar with the product and it's use. You will find relatively few physicians who use it, even fewer who are proficient with it. The reason for this is that it requires greater skill and experience in it's application. It has a delayed effect, is long lasting, and is not dissolvable like some fillers. I had been seeing another excellent physician for my Sculptra, but the 1,000 mile commute was less than convenient. I conducted considerable research before deciding to contact Dr Neda Vanden Bosch. She had excellent reviews and credentials. As she is still a 7 hour round trip drive, I asked her office if she would do a FaceTime consult, which she graciously agreed to. I was pleased with her insights and demeanor, and scheduled an appointment a couple weeks out.Upon arrival I was greeted by Ruth, who runs the front office. The office is spacious and professional. After about a half hour wait, Melissa, Dr V's Clinical Supervisor took me to a treatment t room and reviewed the treatments with me...Sculptra, Restylane, and Dysport. Melissa is delightfully pleasant and very knowledgeable about the procedures. She also does the IPL treatments, which I had done following the injectables. Dr V impressed me, and I'm not easily impressed. She expressed an extensive knowledge of gender-specific facial anatomy, and was generous with her time in studying my areas of concern and explaining her recommendations for areas of application for various products. I have been to many physicians for injectables, and I felt her insights and communication was the best I have experienced. She is also a stunning example of how years passing doesn't necessarily equate to 'aging'...at all. I won't reveal her age (she will) but she's definitely a living example of her expertise in beauty and youthfulness. This is the first of multiple rounds of Sculptra, and the results are always minimal during the first 2 or 3 visits, but I was very pleased with her injection technique, and experienced almost no bruising, and no lumps to date...(which despite being often attributed to massaging rituals, I have never had occur if the product is mixed AT LEAST 24 hours in advance. Insist on this with any Sculptra injector). Subsequent injections are recommended at approximately 6 week intervals, although I usually do around 8 weeks apart. Dr V showed excellent knowledge of Restylane's use, erring slightly on the side of conservative in a first application, which is good...although I'll want to fill a couple spots in tear troughs and lips just a little more next visit. She also pointed out a couple spots where I would benefit from some Dysport or Botox, below the corners of my mouth...an excellent recommendation, I am very pleased with the results of that treatment.I feel the areas she injected were well thought out and carefully executed. A doctor who cares enough to give his/her full and sincere attention to your concerns can accomplish great things. I felt that with Dr V.Following my injectables with Dr V, I moved on to an IPL treatment with Melissa. She was thorough, attentive and professional...I was delighted with my experience. I plan to do another treatment after my next round with Dr V. She is also the go-to person for any pre or post care questions. I will review my IPL experience in a separate entry.Based on my experience during my first visit to Dr V and Melissa at 'VBoutique Aesthetics', I would definitely recommend her. I'll update my review and add photos after subsequent treatments.
In my practice we have seen more dramatic results with the use of PRP with the Skin Pen. We too charge a $250 upcharge for PRP per treatment. However, we also use Tensage Growth Factors with Skin Pen and get great results too. Not everyone can afford the PRP but if you paid for it you deserve to get it. Maybe they can do an extra treatment to make up for the 2 PRP treatments you did not receive.
There are several treatment options to help soften scar tissue. Microneedling is definately one of them. It will take at least 4-6 treatments and 6 months to see maximum results. Fraxel laser and steroid injections are also great options to soften a thickened scar. Seeing a Dermatologist to discuss the best treatment options would definately be beneficial.
I have the Secret RF device and this is NOT it. There are many devices you can purchase on line from China. Alibaba is another website physicians can use when trying to cut corners. I do not know of any RF devices that have reuseable tips. They are all disposable.Most of these devices are not FDA approved. I would question the office. Non FDA devices may still give you results but I am not sure I would trust them to do any further treatments on me.
I think that there are many opinions as to what is best to use post microneedling/Skin Pen. In our practice you use NO cleanser for min of 12hrs but prefer 24 hrs. We dispense Alastin Skin Nectar to use post procedure 2-3 times a day. We add a mineral based sunscreen after 24hrs and patients can use a gentle moisturizer like CeraVe if needed. We have our patients resume their normal skincare regiment after 5 days.
The side effects that you are experiencing, chills,vomitting and ringing of ears, are not normal ones post microneedling. These are most likely sympoms of your cold. As far as the apperrance of the skin, that does look normal in my opinion. It looks to me like she may have been a little more aggresive then discussed though. You will be surprised how quickly the skin will heal in the 1st 24 hrs. In our practice we use a product by Alastin, Skin Nectar which protects and heals the skin in 1/2 the time. It also is very soothing. There are other post care products that can be used to help relieve the discomfort. I would reach out to your healthcare provider for further recommendations.
