Stonewater Skin & Laser

I have been going to Stone water for a few years now and most of the staff is very friendly and kind and the spa is clean and attractive looking. That said, I went in to do a laser treatment with Steph and she seemed "keyed" up and very chatty (overly) and proceeded to tell me how she had burned a past client and how another went away very red (creating major anxiety in me) as you may sign a sheet to tell you the dangers beforehand but you really don't want to hear about it as you are going through it over and over. I had originally scheduled chest, face and hands (very important as I'm getting married) but she told me she now couldn't do all areas and I would have to reschedule my hands. Needless to say, she either never turned it up high enough or targeted the whole area as my face had no peppering and then I started to notice the permanent red marks and red spider veins that were developing around my nose and cheeks (still there btw.) I called about this to tell the staff what had happened and all they could say was it was probably the wrong treatment for me??? A few weeks prior to this I had also did my lips with Juividerm and also my nasal folds. I noticed a funny unsymmetrical look to my left side of my face so I called and went in to have some of the juivederm taken out of the left side of my lips with saline. It was then that I lost movement of my left side of my mouth. I went to another doctor and she didn't want to make things worse so told me I should wait the 9 mons. until everything wears off to see if it doesn't go away. Also, my nasil folds look insanely uneven. I actually hate the way I look now and feel very self continuous when I smile now as I look as if I had a stroke. So I paid 1300 dollars to feel this way and I also developed three cycles in a row of cold soars (never happened before) So I called to let the doctor know with no call back or any concern from the spa. HUGE sign that as soon as they got my money that's where the care and concern dropped. more

I read a review about Melasma, I too have it and went to Stonewater just recently. I had very different experience/results! My Melasma was bad I had it on my forehead, cheeks and upper lip, very dark pigment. I was told to do a Cosmelan peel rather than laser because laser can actually trigger the pigment to get worse.Which I didn't know. They were all very knowledgable friendly staff. I'm sure that if the other Melasma client who claims to be as unhappy as they say something would have been done about it.They have GREAT staff!!! The pricing was to be expected, they changed my skin and I found it worth every penny!! If you follow the instructions like encouraged and do the at home care you WILL have great results like I did, very happy client!!! I'm a lifer at Stonewater <3 more

I went to Stonewater because I've had Melasma for years and I was tired of living with it so I decided to finally seek treatment to get rid of it. There are several things I didn't like about this place. For one thing I never got to see an actual Dermatologist.They are all Estheticians except for the owners of the spa and they also tend to try to push alot of product on you too. (which makes me think that alot of their income must come from sales commissions) I had initially asked for laser treatments but they recommended I do a chemical peel instead so I followed their advice and went ahead with the peels and even though I didn't see much of a difference they kept reassuring me it would work so I continued with treatment and did everything exactly as they told me to. I had two strong peels one month apart, spent a total of over $1400 over a two month period between the peels and the skin care products with weeks of down time and NONE of it worked! What a waste of time and money and I have nothing to show for it now but a bunch of over priced products and I STILL have Melasma! Rather than offering me other treatment options they basically just shrugged their shoulders, sent me home and told me to keep using the skin care products I had purchased from them. After reading so many great reviews about Stonewater I really thought that I would be in great hands there but I am so disappointed with my experience with them on so many levels. I'm going to go see someone else entirely who is better qualified for laser treatments when I can afford it. (like a licensed board certified dermatologist) I can't help but feel like for them it was more about making money than actually trying to help me treat my Melasma. Yes the staff is all very friendly and nice but nice wont get you results! Never again. more
