I absolutely LOVE Dr. Lopez and her staff. They are so friendly, compassionate and honest. I have done so many different things with Dr. Lopez from Botox, Dystort to Dermapen treatments and I am so pleased. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I cannot say enough about Dr Lopez and her assistant, Brynn. They are incredibly kind and patient, and the service is outstanding. I went to Dr Lopez because of acne scarring, which was incredibly emotionally distressing. I did a lot of research and learned that dermapen and TCA cross were the most effective treatments for acne scarring, and she is the only person in the east bay (and possibly the Bay Area) to offer both, combined. Dr Lopez is an incredibly detail-oriented person who makes sure she does everything to make her patients happy. She listened to me and took the time to make sure I was completely satisfied. She is not only good, she is also affordable. I could not be happier with my experience; after only 2 treatments I saw an astounding improvement in my acne scars with the added benefit in overall skin tone and texture improvement. The other thing that I really love about Dr Lopez is that she will NOT try to sell you anything that you don't need. She very honestly told me that I didn't need to get extra services and that I would see improvement without paying for additional treatments. She is also incredibly kind, down-to-earth, and caring. Both her and Brynn genuinely make me feel as though they care about my well-being and that they want to make a difference in my life. Mostly, the thing that sticks with me is that Dr Lopez has gone above and beyond to help me feel satisfied in even the most minor of details. I am so thankful I found her and I would HIGHLY recommend her for anyone suffering from acne scarring or surgical scars. She is absolutely amazing and truly loves the work she does!!! Thank you, Dr Lopez!!
Bear with me, but this is going to be very long, please whatever you do, do not go to Dr. Lopez. I had labia plasty from her done nearly 4 months ago, and if I could do anything in my life, I would take it back. Before I had this procedure I was an extremely sexual person, and that has been ruined for me entirely. when I reached the eight week point where you are supposed to be able to go back to having sex I still had extreme pain so we waited until 10 weeks, when I tried to explain to Dr. Lopez that sex was still hurting and some thing truly did not feel right, she told me everything was fine and that I just needed to keep trying slowly so that is what we did even though I had a feeling that something was not right. I still had extreme pain throughout the little bit of labia that I had left. I have painful scar tissue that will almost never go away. She cut so far to my lips that another doctor said it would be extremely difficult for them to remove that painful scar tissue that I have and that it’s not likely to just go away on its own. I have to have the procedure done again from another doctor. She stitched my perineum back up over the entrance to my vagina and one night during intercourse. It ripped open when I went back to see her she admitted that she had stitched it up too tight and would have to cut it back open. she accused me of not using enough lube when she even admitted that it was because it was stitched too tight. I’m not sure if she stitched it back up that tight so that it would feel more pleasurable for my husband (which if that was the case she did not notify me before doing so) or if it was just blatant negligence. She told me to use more lube, and that I would be fine so that is exactly what we did and it happened again I can no longer have sex until I have this procedure redone. She has offered to do it, but the way that she did it the first time I do not have any confidence that she knows what she’s doing in that regard at all. I have one side that is half an inch longer than the other side when I asked her why one side was so much longer than the other she told me that that side was longer to begin with so I asked why she left it longer and she told me that she couldn’t tell how short she was cutting it, so she left it longer. What kind of doctor doesn’t know how much skin they’re cutting off when they are trained to do this? I have pieces that are hanging off by threads of skin. I constantly have uncomfortable and painful sensations even just sitting at my desk at work. I am begging you whatever you do do not go to have this procedure done with Dr. Lopez the cost is not worth what I have endured nor is it worth the fact that I’m going to have to pay thousands more dollars to have it done with another doctor. This experience has been insanely traumatic and insanely painful and it has not been worth it what I had been so excited to have done, and I’ve been wanting for over 10 years has turned into the biggest mistake of my life. I’m begging you please do not go to the doctor to have this done. She has shown absolutely no remorse to the pain that I have endured at her expense. Another doctor has told me that with the chunky pieces of skin and the insane amounts of pain I have he considers it a botched procedure and to not go back to have her fix it. I will be scheduling surgery with him and now paying thousands of dollars more for that. I promise you the cost that I paid for her has not been worth any of this please, whatever you do just pay more to see a doctor that is more experienced and has better results.
Do not go here for TCA cross!!! She absolutely ruined my face. I came in with a small ice pick scar and ended up with a much wider and deeper scar on my nose. It looks like a chunk of my nose is missing. I’ve had TCA cross done at other offices so I know how it is supposed to be done, but she pushed down verrrrry aggressively, causing the scar to worsen and causing further damage. I’ve consulted with actual dermatologists who have confirmed that indeed this was done improperly and it will take multiple intensive treatments to fix what this woman has done. Now I have to spend thousands to fix her mistake, while losing all my confidence. I truly wish I never went here.
How long does Botox last? Botox usually last anywhere from 3 to 6 months.Every patient is different.
