Not just a spa ...

by GoToGirlNetwork

Stress, anxiety, uncertainty … all disappear at the Longevity Spa. How much do I love it? Let me count the ways:

• From the moment you enter, you are greeted by a supportive, caring staff that instinctively knows your needs. Maria’s charm and humor helps to make you leave your troubles behind.

• Oana and Jen are the best in skincare. They listen to your needs, not just “do” without your input.

• Checking out is simple, proficient and professional, making sure that future appointments are made if requested.

• Follow-up, if necessary, is timely.

What more can one ask for? --A martini? …perhaps, but certainly not needed at this Gold Coast oasis.

• Pros: Superb customer care

I'm so ashamed of myself! I'm Correcting my post below.

by kalkkou

Boy, was I wrong in my post from below! I completely forgot that I had made an appointment for a Botox follow up, as I was reminded when I called the office to complain that the Botox seemed to be less effective than what I expected. During my follow up appointment, I realized my own spell of complete ignorance, and how safe and smart the doctors really are here. Because some people are very sensitive to Botox, it turns out that Botox should not be dosed the same in every patient, and only a good doctor knows this. If too much Botox is given to a patient who is sensitive, there can be undesirable side effects, such as droopy eyelids. But it's impossible for a doctor to know who's sensitive and only needs a tiny amount, vs. who's in need of a huge dose, cause everyone reacts to it differently. Because I had never had Botox before, a safely effective dose was used, which didn't completely do the trick, but that's why this great group insists on the follow up appointment, with no charge! You see, as I NOW know, Botox does not start working until a few days after injections, so you don't see anything initially. Because I thought my wrinkles were supposed to go away immediately, I thought it didn't work, and that's why out of ignorant anger I wrote the post below! It turns out that the doctor was EXTREMELY knowledgable about Botox, and that it was I who failed to understand how it works. So a few days after I wrote the post below, the result had been given further time to develop, and it was NEAR PERFECT. When I went in for the follow up, the few tiny lines remaining on my forehead were injected, and this was JUST enough to make them disappear the next day! I look PERFECT!!! As for the "lump" on my forehead, it was only a mere needle injection point, which went away by the next morning! Boy, I sure feel like a goof, but I'm glad I can correct all of the mis-information. These doctors are the GREATEST, and I will not hesitate to go there again and again!

• Pros: Best and Safest place for Botox!!!!!
• Cons: Only if you have a momentary spell of ignorance!

Bad Place for Botox

by kakkou

This Doctor has no idea on how Botox works. I have never been injected that much Botox. But, no results. Seems like botox is diluted with water !!! Pretty much, he inject everywhere. I had a bump on my forehead. Never never again.

• Pros: Dr. Damen is horrible
• Cons: Botox

Great Results and Great People!

by BaxterBruno

What a beautiful and welcoming place! Lillian, Leslie, Dr. T and the entire staff are so warm and welcoming. I have had several, non-surgical, cosmetic procedures done and I have been very happy with the results. Leslie is always great. She has given me botox around my eyes and forehead, filler in the smile lines and laser on some dark spots on my legs and the results have always been really great. She is also very honest when she doesn't think you need a procedure so she has saved me some money. Dr. T. has removed a skin tag from just below my lower eyelashes and my neck. He is funny, gentle and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the Liposuction & Cosmetic Surgery Center.

• Pros: Great atmoshere and great staff
• Cons: none

by mvs75

I have been going to L&CSI for over 6 years for botox, and bikini and brow waxes. i have had nothing but the best service. the staff is really helpful and friendly, and walked me through the botox procudure step by step before administering. i trust the staff completely and would highly recommend anyone considering any type of procedure to call for a consultation

great place if you are nervous

by amy0504

For a while I have been wanting to have my lips done but have been really freaked out because so many people look scary and like ducks. I went to a few places to check it out and walked by the liposuction institute so I went in. I spoke to the doctor and the nurse. The nurse leslie has been doing lips for a long time and she explained all the different types of injections and why some are good to do and some are not. she spent a half hour with me. so I decided to do it. I felt comfortable and she did it gradually becasue I didnt want to have huge lips. so she did a little at a time until I said I was happy with the size. I am really happy that I walked by there and went in. I love my lips! if anyone out there is looking to do something fun and change their look without doing anything crazy or overly dramatic try your lips. (it also helps that they look really pretty with lipgloss).

• Pros: took me right in, spent a lot of time with me, cool office, had tons of choices, take walk ins

Best Medical Spa, Best Botox,Juvederm and Facial that I've ever had.

by skindp5

Best Medical Spa, Best Botox,Juvederm and Facial that I've ever had. I called the office to schedule a consultation for skincare help. I received great customer service from the get-go. The appointment times were very convenient with my schedule. When i arrived for my appointment i was instantly greeted with a smile and "How can I help you". The wait to see the staff was not long at all, unlike other spas I have been to before. Lillian, the client coordinator, explained many different options they had available for my personal needs. I was given a tour and also shown the different types of lasers and medical treatments available which made me feel more at ease and comfortable. It was also explained to me in detail the ideas behind each laser and that their lasers are the highest quality and latest technology. This has been by far the best experience i have had yet and would reccommend and encourage this as your number one choice for any laser, medical, or spa treatment. I am excited to be going back soon.

• Pros: great customer service, highest quality treatments, convenient appointment times

customer service-NOT

by Rebound2008

The service was horrible (N. Rush location). A first impression is also a lasting one....When I first phoned; I spoke with Carol, who I think has a customer service defect! She was so obtuse! My "Consultant" spoke really fast, she seemed agitated when I asked questions, just not a friendly person at all. The doctor was nice, patient, but seems somewhat disingenuous at times. I would not recommend it, mainly for the service, but the prices were not competitive...at least for what you get in terms of service.
