Eugene Mandrea, MD (retired)

I have been coming to this practice for a variety of things, and just recently started Botox with Kim. She does such a good job at keeping it natural looking. I have also had Dr. Mandrea for filler injections for my face. They also are constantly getting new procedures, I really want to try Coolsculpt, but I am going to have to save a little for that one.

Dr. Eugene Mandrea is an excellent doctor with years of experience. Dr. Mandrea is truly an expert and specialist in dealing with acne scarring. My acne scars have not completely gone away but their appearance is much much better than before and I am still going through treatments of the Pixel laser to improve them further. Dr. Mandrea has always been honest with me from day one in saying theirs nothing you can do to rid your scars completely but you can make them look better and less noticeable and he was right. It's been a long process doing laser treatments, subcision and some punch grafting but well worth it. In the city of Chicago you will find no other doctors as honest as him or that can perform procedures like punch elevation and or subcision correctly.

I also finally manged to get clear skin, after about 5 years of jumping from dermatologist to dermatologist from some of Chicago's supposed best they couldn't even clear my skin. Dr. Eugene gave me Spirolactone and realized my acne was hormonal and my skin has never been more clear in my life. I often wander why no other dermatologist ever gave me this. Thanks Dr. Eugene and if anyone decides to start treatment remember to be patient. It wil ltake a long time before you see results depending on the severity of your scars, mine were very severe.

My dermatologist recommended it

I have suffered from acne for 12 years. I have seen Dr. M 4  times in the past 8 weeks. Dr M's treatment of my face and neck has been tremendously affective. {edited}

{by Britt, moved to Dr review below}

It has been almost a full week since my visit and the jury is still out. It has helped between my brows a little but only directly in the center and it had absolutely ZERO affect on my forehead. ZERO. Not to mention the fact that they advertise $13 per unit, only to be charged $14 per unit on my visit. They also have an offer for 50% off the first 20 units of Botox which I did not receive and when I inquired about it after I got home from my appointment on Realself I never received a response.

I have a follow up appointment on the 27th so I'll have to see what this other doctor says about my results and the price discrepancy. I will write a full review then.
