I have been a patient at the irvine office for about a year. I have spends thousands of bucks on med spas, Botox, microdermabrasion etc to deal with my red blotchy facial complexion. I have gone thru 4 different dermatologists who scarred my face removing pre cancerous lesions, had horrible side effects from Oradea, prescribed for rosacea. It made me sick to my stomach and my complexion got even worse. I finally met dr Rispler and paid even more thousands on laser treatment. I'm an RN and had once trained for a medspa so have a pretty good idea of the concept. I'm not there to fall in love or even make friends with this guy. But he knows what he's talking about. He's been honest and my skin is improving. \r

Some lasers work, some don't. Some have more downtime then others. He has assured me he can and will help me. His nurses do the treatments, Cindy has been treating me exclusively and she is gentle, patient and knowledgable. No question is too stupid. I've learned more about skin care since coming here then I did in school or dropping scheckles on products like Lancôme or clarins. I use nutragena ultra gentle everything including foaming cleanser, 50 SPF moisturizer and stay away from foods and activities that irritate my sensitive skin. This is serious skin care with state of the art lasers. I see a lot of clients from 12 to 70 coming nag going and the spring in their step, their confidence is improving along with their skin issues. Call me superficial but my skin made me feel very self conscious , now I feel hopeful. It's a big chunk of money but I'm not on a timeline or schedule, I go about once a month. Dr Rispler has been patient with me and I believe he and his staff want me to be happy. His creepy salesman, not so much.
