“I love Aesthetic Solutions and especially Dr. Coxe, Megan, and Corrine. Sorry if I misspelled. I have gone here for about 10 years and I will never go anywhere else! They are so helpful with guiding me in what to do and what I shouldn’t do. They never try to dump products on me. In fact, I have to ask, and they will tell me if I don’t need something. I completely and explicitly trust these 3 and their guidance, along with other staff members that I’m not sure of their names.. I’m terrible about that!”
“Thank you to Dr K and Cybil her nurse they did an excellent job for me today. Cybil did a great job during some of the appointment to distract me and make me feel no pain at all! I trust Dr K with her treatment recommendations and her injection technique. No bruising and I can’t wait to see more of the results. Will be back to continue my skincare with this team and practice. Thank you Aesthetic solutions!”
“Yesterday I had my first appointment with Dr. Ishii and her assistant, Kassie. Both were lovely and I felt they answered all of my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. Not ones did I feel rushed or like I didn’t have all the information to make my decision about injectables. I will absolutely be recommending them to everyone I know! If I could give 10 stars I would! I will absolutely be back :D”
“When you go to Aesthetic solutions, you’re sure of several things: one, you are going to be getting top of the line treatment. Two, they are going to make you look better but they’re going to make you look age-appropriate because if it’s not age-appropriate, trust me you don’t look better! And three everyone from the receptionist out at the desk through everyone on the staff all the way up and through Dr. Cox will treat you as if you are the most important person in the world at that point to them. In fact, even all the clients sitting out in the office waiting to go into their appointment, we always have fun together. This is the place that I would recommend for any procedures before I recommended any place else and be aware that if they know that it’s not something that they are the best at although I can’t think of anything that anyone would be any better at. They will recommend where you should go Aesthetic solutions and everyone who goes into making it. Aesthetic solutions is the best. Yes my k”
“I went to Dr. Ishii for the second time for Botox, and this was my first-ever lip filler treatment. To be fair, and before I discuss my negative experience, I would like to say that Dr. Ishii does a great job with Botox. Unfortunately, I am extremely upset and frustrated with the results of my lip filler. I paid $800 for my lip filler, and I am very unhappy with the asymmetry of the result. My lips appear tilted, with the lower lip noticeably fuller on one side, and there is also a difference between the left and right sides of my upper lip. I have attached before-and-after photos so that others can see the result for themselves. When I contacted the office because I was unhappy with the outcome and asked whether another provider could evaluate and correct my lips, I was assured that I would be in good hands and that Dr. Ishii would address the issue. I went back to see her, and instead of immediately correcting the asymmetry, she gave me a topical product intended to subtly dissolve the filler and told me to come back after two weeks. If the asymmetry remained, she said she would then inject something to dissolve the filler on one side. This is where I am particularly frustrated. I paid $800 for the filler, and now the proposed solution is to dissolve some of the product I already paid for because the result is uneven. When I asked to have another doctor at the practice evaluate and correct the issue, I was told that I would have to pay an additional $150 simply to see another doctor. During my original appointment, I also felt that Dr. Ishii was rushed. She performed the injections and left without really giving me an opportunity to ask questions. I had specifically mentioned to the nurse that I wanted to discuss my skincare regimen with the doctor, but I never really had the opportunity to do so. While this was not the main reason for my dissatisfaction, it contributed to my feeling that the appointment was rushed and that I wasn't given the level of attention I expected. My main concern, however, is the result of my lips and how the situation has been handled afterward. I understand that filler takes time to settle, and I was patient and gave it the recommended time. I am extremely disappointed that after paying $800 for a cosmetic procedure, I now have to undergo additional treatment and multiple visits to address an asymmetry that I did not expect from the procedure. I am also frustrated by the amount of time this has required from me, including having to take time away from work to return for follow-up appointments, only to be sent home with a product to dissolve the filler and told to wait again. I chose Dr. Ishii because I trusted her with my first-ever lip filler, and unfortunately, I regret the decision. For $800, I expected a more balanced result and much better follow-up care. I am attaching before-and-after photos so that others can see the result of the treatment I paid for.”
