Shalini Gupta, MD

Dr. Gupta is amazing when it comes to all things cosmetic! I went in for some filler on my upper lip and it's amazing how much a little filler can do! She was very precise and it lasted for SO LONG! I highly recommend Dr. Gupta and her office. Her and her staff are very friendly and kind and helped me through my first time getting fillers.

Nearing 40 and going through a difficult pregnancy left me with a body I was really uncomfortable with. After losing 40 lbs through diet and gentle exercise I consulted with Dr. Gupta about vaser liposuction of my upper and lower abdomen, sides, back, hips, inner and outer thighs, and knees.
I felt confident leaving Dr. Gupta’s office, and they were able to schedule my procedure in a reasonable few weeks time. They gave me lots of information and I felt ready for the big day! I will say this is my second time using Dr. Gupta, as I had smart lipo on my upper and lower abdomen about 9 years ago, with great success.
The procedure ended up being much larger than I had expected (but that was my own perception from my previous experience). Total mass removed was 5.5L and I had a hard time with pain during the surgery. Dr. Gupta worked quickly and professionally, offering Nitrous Oxide to aid me with pain management but overall my pain threshold is apparently pretty low.
Her staff were wonderful in helping me during and after the procedure. When I was having some trouble with dizziness right after, they made me comfortable and ensured I had a snack. Further, Dr. Gupta personally called me that night to provide encouragement and check on me.
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is I wish there could have been an option for more extensive pain management (ex: iv sedation) with such a large amount of areas treated.

Today my husband helped me remove my original surgery gauze and apply fresh while I washed my post surgical garment.

Initially I had a lot of drainage but that seems to have stopped to day (Sunday). I finally got a small bit of appetite back last night but have been having to be very careful to make sure I’m taking enough fluids. I’m having some issues with soreness and weakness still, but that’s expected. I’m very glad I have an extra pair of hands to help me!

I have been able to get up to use the restroom and walk a bit around the house, but I certainly am very slow and most just want to rest.

My body overall feels ‘lighter’. I haven’t stepped on a scale yet, but it just feels like I’m carry less and that is encouraging.

I’ve been reflecting on some issues that have popped up post surgery. Let me say that I had previous smart lipo and THOUGHT I understood what I was in for this time around but sadly was not given information on high volume liposuction. Nor were those words offered.
I am having issue with one of my drainage sites and did call the office. My first follow up was with a nurse practitioner who sent a photo of the site to the surgeon. I was prescribed a second course of antibiotics but they really have done little. Further, I believe I’m developing a seroma at one of the incision sites.
I was told I would be emailed post-surgical instructions but they never came. I can call the office and see the nurse practitioner, but the complications and discomforts I have had I feel could have been managed by more patient education and after care.
I will say for the money I spent I’m bummed to have basically felt like I was flying blind after major surgery.
Results still tbd.

Dr. Gupta and her staff are all very helpful. I am extremely satisfied with the professionalism as well as the services provided at The Dermatology, Laser and Vein Center. I would highly recommend Dr. Gupta. She is an amazing artist/ doctor.

I found Dr. Gupta's practice through a reference from a co-worker to evaluate for hair loss before trying something more aggressive like a hair transplant. Dr. Gupta mentioned she has had really good results with a PRP treatment. She took time to explain the science behind injecting my healthy cells into an area that potentially has damaged cells to stimulate growth. I ended going for the treatment that day and by her recommendation scheduled a follow-up treatment 6 weeks later. Initially I was disappointed expecting immediate results, but starting at week 2 my wife noticed new tiny hairs in my scalp and by week 4 I had full new growth! On my follow-up appointment Dr. Gupta thought I responded really well to the treatment and recommended we hold off on another treatment to see if I would need it! Beyond excited at the results. Image below on the right is when I first went in and on the left is 2 months after! Since then, my wife has been in for a few minor procedures and has also been extremely satisfied!

Dr. Gupta reached out to me to see how I was doing and followed up as well from her own personal email and phone to see how my skin was reacting to my first laser treatment. And explained my future visits as well. I initially done my first laser which was a Quickswitch laser which is good for African American skin than a Faxel laser. And the best for darker skin pigment for those of color looking for laser therapy

I have been going to Dr Gupta for about 10 years (I believe in being proactive). She has coached me along and always knows what treatments will work for me to make me look my absolute best and keep a youthful yet natural look. Eveytime I leave a treatment, i always feel confident about how I look

Each time I looked in the mirror the only thing i could see were the dark circles under my eyes. I tried all the “Do-it-yourself” approaches and serums and nothing worked. I made the decision to see Dr. Gupta, from a friend’s recommendation. Dr. Gupta gently assessed my darkness, gave me a few options - both immediate and long term. I went with the longer lasting answer. Today, I am so grateful that as i look in the mirror my dark circles are nearly gone. My eyes look as young as I feel. I am working on getting more sleep and drinking more water- to maintain. But, truly have gained so much self confidence, again! As a friend recommended Dr. Gupta to me, I would recommend her, and her Office, to others!

Dr Gupta is so thorough and professional. I was impressed with her medical school background, being a Harvard graduate. I have consulted with her on my face pigmentation issues. She treated my skin with Clear + Brilliant and I can’t believe the difference I saw with only one treatment! I’ll be back for my Botox needs, filler & more skin treatment soon. Also looking forward to having a Hydrafacial!!!

After being on birth control pills for several years and exposing my skin to the sun via vacations and even the tanning bed; the skin on my face was left extremely damaged. I had finally had enough and decided that I wanted to have a consultation to see what I could do to correct the damage. After meeting with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist local to my area I decided to go with the BBL treatment.

The hyperpigmentation on my face is now more prominent. From what I've read and what I was told this is a good outcome as all of the "darkness" will be coming to the surface of my skin and then dissapearing over the next week or so. Fingers crossed that this is the outcome!

I've been gently cleaning my face with a peroxide cleaner each morning and evening and making sure to moisturize a lot! Today. several of the dark spots were able to be washed off!! I am getting excited!! Even though the initial treatment hurt like hell I am thinking about getting a second one done.... maybe even a 3rd. They recommend 3 treatments -4 weeks apart at my dermatologist office.

I look in the mirror and I literally want to cry with tears of joy. This has been life changing and so far I have only did one of the 3 recommended treatments!

Have melasma. Went to this doctor who recommended a $4000 procedure- fraxel Bad. Did fraxel and nothing happened. Lost $4000. The doctor sold me something I shouldn’t have done. Made my skin worse. It feels and looks like sandpaper Very unprofessional and tries to sell you treatments you don’t need
