Great Skin Tightening Results 5/14/2012

They say ( no pain, no gain), but this procedure has bitten this statement, may face look very tight after 10 minutes procedure, only thing I have felt is worm feeling for 15 min, I did not belief only $99 got me that results. I highly recommend this office, and this procedure. more

Honorable doctor 4/26/2012

I am very pleased with Dr. Abboud, and his staff, he made clear up front that I need average 6 to 12 sessions, he has explained all the process of laser hair removal, I have felt robber band felling during the treatment, I have not seen any result before session # 4 ( as he predicted), I had to buy another package of 6 sessions, I feel too much hair reduction after session # 9. I really appreciated the doctor clarification and honesty. more

The most honest doctor 4/12/2012

I have been seeing the doctor for the last 5 years, I have never experienced any problem in his office, or staff, the doctor explain everything in details, he is always on top of his staff, nobody in that practice push me to do anything I do not want. I think what called Lena the truth teller should be accountable to what she said, to me she is not telling the truth, there is no Sculptra with $250, I have been using Radiesse since 2007, it is the standard to mix it with Laidocaine for pain relief. more

The most unprofessional experience I have ever had! 1/19/2012

What a rip-off! I purchased two microdermabrasion treatments at Laser & Cosmetic Dermatology in Oak Brook, IL. I have undergone microdermabrasion procedures at other offices in the past and it?s always been a painless or even an enjoyable experience, so I feel that I have a good comparison on how it should be performed and what it should feel like. My treatment at Laser & Cosmetic Dermatology was by far the worst experience I have ever had during a cosmetic procedure. First Dr. Abboud came into the room to introduce himself, he immediately tried to talk me into additional treatments and a professional visit with him, which I said from the start I wasn?t interested in, then his assistant came to do the treatment, she lacked any skill or professional knowledge about the procedure or any other skin treatments; she didn?t wash her hands or wear gloves before reaching for my face ? I had to ask her to do so, she dropped the gauze she was wiping my face with on the carpet and was going to continue using it ? I had to ask her to replace it with a new gauze. Because the machine wouldn?t work, she kept hitting it; when she finally got it to work, she was very rough on my face - the wand seemed uneven so her strokes were painful and felt like scratches. When I told her that I don?t feel any suction she noticed that she didn?t turn the crystals on, after a few minutes she ran out of the crystals and informed me that she didn?t have more to fill the machine with and therefore my treatment was over. She also told me not to worry because if the doctor would have performed the treatment it would have only lasted up to 10 minutes and she has already been working on me for 15, so I am getting my money?s worth. At the end she tried to apply a secret ingredient cream to my face which was a home remedy made by the doctor in their office. Aside from the treatment being overpriced and of extremely poor quality, it was the most unprofessional experience I have ever had in a clinic or even an esthetician?s office. I wouldn?t go back there even if I was paid to do so. more

Dr Aboud an amazing top notch doctor 10/14/2011

i have seen Dr Aboud several times since 2010 for varioius cosmetic purposes and have found him to be one of the nicest and most generous doctors i have ever met.. who ever wote that bogus letter (Lena?)should be called into acct. Never ever has Dr A ever pushed me in to getting anything just to make money. much of the time he will offer only what is really necessary and has never ever spoken out of line. He is a kind , generous Doctor.I have recommended him many times and plan on seeing him again in a short while..A good decent man, by the way brochures are visible his waiting room as is in any drs, office..AS for Sculptura bieng only $250 proves this is a bogus letter. Not even generous Dr Aboud isnt a fool to give it away. God bless you Dr Aboud!!!.. . more

Don't believe any of these other fake ""good"" reviews 5/24/2011

So I read a review online says that doc abboud never pressures you to buy, which was a huge lie. His secretary must have wrote that. So he tells me about some blood filler product but doesn't have brochures which I found strange. He changed me 750 for the procedure, basically taking blood out of my arm and injecting it into my face b4 doing a few other steps. He said it would work in 3 week guaranteed. he also charged me 250 for Sculptra, which he had no brochures about either. He said that Sculptra was an instant filler. When i got home and went on line to read about it, it stated it was not an instant filler. He really pushed me to get it so the review was a lie. Hes pushy pushy pushy !! Another reason I trusted him is bc he know my cousin who is a well know doctor and he is from the same country as my family is from. I was swollen for 1 week and bruised . 3 weeks later i went in for my follow up appt. he tells me to wait another month for the products to work( I still trusted him somewhat at this point bc he is a good bull shi***) When I called his secretary to schedule the appt I asked if I could get a photo facial done and how much. She replied, its on sale for 50.00. So that day He tells me to get matrix ir which is a laser tx that will make my skin tighter in just one tx for 250 $. I said I will try it. He didn't even use goggles on me and did it super fast ! When I get up to pay I get charged 700.00. My face turned red. I told the sec that she said 50.00 for the photo facial on the phone , but she put on this dumb ass look on her face. The doc came and told me that him being a doc who performed the tx is expensive. He says he can charge me 500.00 for both. I argued the price and was super mad but didn't want to make a scene. The tx did work at all ! I didnt feel that the machine was even turned on and he did it super fast ! I had my friend call in about the price of the laser treatments the next day and the sec told her the machine was not working. A few weeks later I email him about my dissatisfaction and he tells me to come in and wants to make me a happy customer. I drive like 20 miles away from my home to his palos hill loc and take my friend with for support. He first turns to her and tells her she needs to do this and that. She didn't go in for anything. Then he tells her he will give her a good deal on Sculptra!!!!! He wouldn't leave it alone sculptra sculptra sculptra !!! HE then told me that he will give ME 3 free syringes of filler for my time and dissatisfaction after 10mins of negotiating. We scheduled for the following week and left kinda happy. At our next visit he proceeds mixing and hiding the syringes and keeps leaving the room, while his Medical assistant is distracting us. He basically injected us will lidocaine and water or something. lidocaine is a numbing soln that is already premixed in syringes docs should never add their own as a comp rep informed me) I had was swelling and 3 bruses in my face, one was a large black eye that took over 2 weeks to go away ! I understand bruses can happen but he is very careless and really does not know what hes doing at all NO SKILLS AND THEY HAD NO ICE TO PUT ON OUR FACES !!!! Never have anything done the first time you have your initial consult, if they have too many sales and promotions stay away !!! more

Injections Perfected by Dr. Abboud!! 4/6/2011

This is my first review and feel compelled to advise any of you looking for a flawless professional in the world of dermatology that Dr. Abboud is the king of his craft. I have been seeing him for many years for acne flare-ups as well as being absolutely blessed that he graced me with his artistry in Radiesse and Restylane applications. I have had lips, naso-labial fold, acne pock marks as well as my cheek-bones filled and beautifully so! Im a perfectionist by nature so my skin is the most important physical trait to me because it is the first thing people see and it implies so much about your well-being. Im always advised what is best in the market for my specific desires being addressed at that time and have never had bruising only minimal discomfort and swelling due to the nature of the procedure. Please disregard Nadia's review, if she has ever bruised from any injection it will most likely occur from her own sensitivity and not from a skilled professional let alone Dr. Abboud! He is meticulous and generous! I cant imagine anyone having anything negative to say about him! Ive referred him to my mother for injections and microdermabrasion and my boyfriend is having a laser tattoo removal so he is trusted for a variety of procedures in our opinions. Ive been seeing him for years no matter where I have moved for these reasons and his prices cant be beat either! I hope you see him soon! You will be glad you did!! Look for his subtle humor, he is very funny when you least expect it! I love that! And Ive never had issues with scheduling either! Across the board 5 Stars!!! more

Great Laser and Photofacial result 3/14/2011

I have had 5 sessions of laser and Photofacial sessions, great results started showing on my face after 3 sessions, ( as the doctor) promised. I appreciate the doctor professionalism, and honesty. more

Dysport Great Result 3/7/2011

I have had 2 sessions of Dysport in this office over the last 6 months, I have never get better job in any other office, I had no pain, no bruises. It work fast as the doctor explain to me within 2 days I have seen the result. No wonder the doctor stated that he has not use Botox since Dysport hit the market. more

I love my results! 3/6/2011

I have visited Laser & Cosmetic Dermatology many times for Dysport, laser wrinkle reduction and dermal fillers. The prices are great, the results have always been wonderful, I look years younger than I am. Love this place! more

Very reputable & affordable Doctor 3/6/2011

Honestly, I have been to visit Dr. Abboud for over 4 years now and had dozens of procedures performed by him. He is the most honest and fair doctor I have met. He is always concerned with the patient's results and what is comfortable for them. He has never misrepresented anything to me or pushed me into buying any service I wasn't comfortable with. He knows what works with Cosmetic Dermatology and what doesn't, I appreciate his insights. I highly recommend him. more

Best Dermatology Practice in Chicago I have found 3/3/2011

I have been going to the Laser & Cosmetic Institute for over 4 years now. Dr. Abboud is truly one of the gifted cosmetic dermatologists you will find. I have been a lot of other centers in the area but he was the only one who was completely honest, had affordable prices and actually produced results. I get comments that I look 10 years younger than I am all the time. I credit Dr. Abboud for most of that. more

Great Doctor ! Competitive Prices ! Excellent Availibility ! 5/18/2010

I have been to Dr Abboud twice now. The first time I went in I recieved Radiesse in the cheeks and botox on my forehead. Dr. Abboud is very good about only recommending what products you actually need and which products are the best for you. I went in wanting Juvederm for my cheeks and he actually recommended Radiesse because it has a longer lasting effect. He has a great technique and it was not painful. He then told me to return in two weeks for a follow up to see how I looked once the swelling went down from the Radiesse. I went back in two weeks and it ended up that I needed some touch ups in the cheeks. He touched up my cheeks at no charge. I then decided to have my tear troughs filled with Juvederm. He had recommended that on the first visit, but I wanted to wait it out to see how my cheeks looked first. I discussed with Dr. Abboud about reviews that I read all over the US about women not being happy with Juvederm in the tear troughs and they appeared to have bags afterwards. Dr. Abboud quickly gave me a answer saying that when Juvederm is not applied under the muscle it can cause bags. He stated that if you want to go superficial under the eyes Juvederm is not the product. I felt at ease because of course these reviews do not state the explanation for the bags. He then applied the Juvederm with NO pain in my tear trough's and under my eyes. I was then worried about creases and he assured me to wait because he doesnt want to overfill. He is great about making you feel reassured. I used ice packs as he stated and I had severe swelling for 2 days. Its day 4 now and most of the swelling is gone. I am waiting for full results at 7 days, because that is when I noticed the swelling completely went down after the Radiesse. Do not do this procedure if you are going to a event or somewhere important. I would recommend doing this about 3 weeks to a month prior to a event or a important outing. The reason that I say this is because swelling takes a good 7 days to go down and then if you should need a touch up you will need another week or two to recover. Pros: Great location & excellent availibility ! Cons: None to report ! more

Wonderful doctor; Great results. 11/18/2009

I feel like Dr. Abboud has made me look so much younger. I was starting to age prematurely and I feel so much more confident now that I've been going to his office for the past few months. He listens to your concerns and will give you great results. He doesn't try to push you purchasing other services. I've gotten laser treatments, skin rejuvination and fillers. It has made such a difference. Of course as with other places it's pricey to get these treatments but they do offer financing. His prices are reasonable if you buy more up front and are competitive with other offices. I usually don't write reviews but I have been so happy with this place. Pros: great results more

Great Chicago dermatology office with great prices 2/5/2009

I wanted to share a review regarding several laser hair removal and dermatology procedures I have had done by Dr. Abboud and his clinic. I have been to several Chicago cosmetic dermatology offices and honestly they seem to 'farm you in and out' as fast as they can to make money. Dr. Abboud was not like this at all, he really took the time to address my concerns and make sure that things turned out the way I had hoped. I am very pleased with their office and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a physician that actually listens and cares. Pros: Listens, Affordable, Actually Cares Cons: None after 2 years, pretty good! more
