Reviews for IPL Services Near Danville, CA
"I've been going to Elite MD in Danville for quite some time now. I have had full facial laser hair removal services along with facials with the esthetician on board. I love how sweet and attentive the office staff has always been. I enjoyed my laser hair removal sessions and recommend Dr. Sonia and her team to everyone! My face is clear now and I only have to come in for annual touch ups to maintain the treatments. I loved that during the painful process of the laser, I can control the cooling air that blows on my skin to cancel out any sensation. The process has always been so fast, I'm out of my laser appointments within 30 min! They always offer me a sample of skincare and SPF 50 sunscreen to apply once I'm done with my treatment as well. And yes the results have lasted for years! Highly recommend Elite MD for all the amazing services they have to offer from the skin care line to hair grafting and everything in between."
"* 3 months post procedure ** I am now 3 months post-op, and although I'm still in the early healing stages, I am happy with my results this far. I am so appreciative of how Dr.B set very realistic expectations from the start and how he gave me the tools to help set me up for the most successful outcome possible. One thing I kept reminding myself during the recovery is that he always reminded me of the 1/3 rule after my procedure. 1/3 of the outcome is based on the surgeons work, 1/3 is based on the patients postop care, and the last 1/3 is the universe and how your body responds to the procedure. This was great to remember during the healing process, and it kept me on track. I had a breast Aug with another PS a couple years ago, and I am still amazed how different EliteMd is. From their amazing family culture, maintaining good patient relationships, and their awesome bedside manner. I'm sure we can all agree that we typically only see the plastic surgeon once, maybe twice, if you're lucky. That is NOT how it is at EliteMD. I met with Dr.B before making my deposit, and he Zoom called me a week before my procedure. I then saw him the day of my procedure, and two times after at my post ops. This is unreal, considering how busy he and this practice are. When I first met Dr.B, I remember him telling me we are now family, and he truly followed through with his statement. I feel so comfortable talking to him and asking any questions I have regarding my results, and KNOWING he has my best interest at heart and truly wants me to be happy. This is irreplaceable. Another thing that is so different is ALL staff at this practice are so happy when you walk in the door. They make it a point to remember your name and are always so happy to see you. The management team is the sweetest, and they make it known that they truly care about your experience. I honestly look forward to my appointments here. Vanessa is truly amazing. She was there for me when I had questions throughout my healing, and it is such a great resource to have. One last thing I'd like to mention is how this is pretty much a one-stop shop, which is extremely helpful and convenient during the healing process. You can get your lymphatic drainage massages here (Linda, you are amazing), laser treatments, facials, and pretty much anything cosmetic related. I could go on and on about the amazing staff here. You all truly make the patient experience so amazing and unforgettable. Thank you, EliteMd"
"Overall I am completely in love with my results - This experience has been completely life changing! Not only do I look better I care for my body differently now as well. Given that I am an ethnic woman I have always wanted the coke bottle shape which I finally have. I had no idea I could have a procedure like this without anesthesia and still have little to no discomfort or bruising or scarring. With the help of this staff reminding me to stay connected with my mind, body ,and soul at every check up appointment was very reassuring. Thanks to the no meat, no sweets, no wheat phrase I am glowing from the inside out! Not only do I feel my best my skin is clear and my energy levels are much higher. My BBL turned out to be everything I wanted with the most natural results, all my friends are so surprised because everyone thought I would have the fake instagram look, which I did NOT want. Both Dr.Bansal and the staff here helped to make this experience very easy and and comfortable theY were great with answering questions and everyone has a very sincere up-beat personality. My aftercare process went smoothly I had no complications. My caretaker was amazing always checking to make sure I was okay all day and even through the night multiple times. Thankfully for her I didn’t have much to worry about, just focused on healing. I loved my results so much from my BBL I came back to get a fat transfer to my breasts.I had almost 4 finger gap between my breast before and they had no toluene or cleavage. Now I have cleaveage with or without a bra and no implants to worry about! All natural fat. Second time around things were al little more familiar and an even better experience with the same staff and caregiver helping I was able to build great relationships and now still come in for facials (hydro facials are the best). Over all I am completely in love with myself and my results I would highly recommend Elite MD and their staff for the mini BBL, fat transfer to breasts and ab sculpting!"
"Just love all the wonderful staff at Elite MD. I had the C02 Laser Facial Resurfacing last week. Couldn’t have been easier. My face was red & scaly for a few days but now...WOW! Friends have even commented on how my face looks more glowing & less wrinkles. I’m so happy to have had this procedure!!!"

"For those of you who have dark facial hair and are wondering if laser hair removal works? It is definitely working for me! After having kids my facial hair got darker and thicker and nothing else worked for me except laser. I’ve been having treatments done here at Elite MD San Ramon, 4 treatments so far and I’ve noticed a huge difference the hair is disappearing each time and I’ve never felt more happy and confident, and I’ve been wearing less makeup as well. The treatments don’t take long. The laser feels like quick zaps with some heat. And then you come back around 6 to 8 weeks. Dr. Sonia and the staff here are so nice and take good care of me, I’m so glad my Aunt Deanna referred me here. I definitely recommend it!"

"Wow, what a surprise! I will make this long follow up story as short as I can. Turns out that I had several deeply imbedded whiteheads that never surfaced and continually became inflamed. Rikki cut the worse one out and it was about 1/4" long, thin and hard. No other doctor or dermatologist looked close enough to give the proper diagnosis. For years I was told nothing could be done. I decided to have deep laser resurfacing done to clear those up and hopefully soften the wrinkles and lines around my mouth, nose and chin. Today was my one month follow up and I’m thrilled with the results. Everyone is amazed at much softer, brighter and healthier my skin is. The bumps at the corners of my mouth are gone. Oh, Rikki even found PRECANCEROUS cells near my nose, that were obviously removed too.For me, the recovery was trying at times and uncomfortable, but so worth it. You MUST stay out of the sun so wearing a big floppy hat and heavy duty sunblock whenever I had to venture out was necessary but fun. I started watering my plants, going out to the mailbox, etc. at night. Later, if I had to go out, I would wait until dusk and wear my hat, even inside stores. You’re not exactly looking your best the first 4 or 5 weeks. If done in October, you can always say you’re wearing a Halloween mask .I can’t say enough about Rikki. She cares very much for her patients well being and happiness. She’s thorough, explains everything and listens to your needs or concerns. I am so happy with the results. It turned out better than I expected. I obviously can’t say enough and highly recommend Rikki and EliteMD for any facial concerns you may have."

"Rikki Rodriguez is the best! I highly recommend her and Elite MD! I had a deep laser facial treatment and I couldn’t be happier! Rikki was able to obtain results others could not! Rikki did the treatment in such a way that I experienced minimal pain and less downtime. I am hooked and will be back! Thanks Rikki!"

"I went to Elite MD to get laser hair removal treatment for my full face and neck. I wanted to improve my self confidence and skin because it is something I have struggled with my whole life due to the excess amount of facial hair I had since I was a little girl. I chose Elite MD because Jeff is honestly so amazing and was very honest with me [I was a high risk candidate] and he took the risk with me and took the time to fully educate me on the procedure and the outcomes of it. I felt very comfortable at Elite MD and everyone is so friendly. They always make me feel welcomed and are very accommodating to my schedule. I am so happy with my results and have 2 appointments left and I would recommend Elite MD to my friends and family for any procedure they may need done."
"I’ve been going to Linda at Elite MD for almost 3 years for facials and peels and have had positive results with professionalism. She takes her time with her clients and is very detailed oriented. I have also seen Jeff for removal of dark spots on my face and have had great results with the laser treatments. The staff is very friendly and are accommodating."

"Elite MD Dr. Bansal I have never done any procedure (just chemical peels) and I felt so informed and taken care of at Elite MD. I ended up, after many questions and multiple conversations with the different staff members, getting Laser Lipo on my flanks (love handles) and lower abs. I also decided to do cool sculpting on my inner thighs. I'm super pleased with the Laser Lipo and have recommended it to my closest of friends. I found Dr. Bansal to demonstrate a tremendous amount of care and concern for his patients and to ensure you get the best results possible. He's so genuinely caring, that because of his consultation a few days after my procedure, ad his confession that the took out more fat (and "stress induced fat") then he thought was possible from someone of my fame, I got motivated to jump start a health kick. I've given up red meat, started practicing meditation and trying to reduce stress and toxins in my life. (I haven't given up the wine yet). THis procedure is so rewarding. My body image is fantastic, I stand up taller and am wearing clothes that haven't fit since my 2 daughters! (4.5 and 1.5 years old). Dr. Bansal and Elite MD are top notch. I have recommended them to my best friends."

"Amazing Practice! - Danville, CA - I first met Dr. Sonia about four years ago after seeing her on KRON 4. I called and made a consultation for laser liposuction. Dr. Sonia spent a good amount of time with me consulting me about the procedure and then I even met Dr. Bansal the same day. Dr. Sonia was so informative and made me feel so comfortable that soon after I scheduled my procedure. Since then I have used Dr. Sonia for a possible skin cancer on my lip and she quickly got me in and took care of it. She is always so caring and personable. I have also used Jeff for botox, juvederm and laser treatments...he is also amazing. I have used Linda for facials and she is the best there is. I have also had three procedures done by Dr. Bansal and he is a true artist at plastic surgery. I am so glad I called and met with Dr. Sonia four years ago and in turn met an amazing office for both dermatology and plastic surgery. I will never go anywhere else and have referred many, many friends and family and will continue to do so. Everyone has been more than happy with them!"
"I saw Dr. Sonia a couple of months ago and she recommended a series of facials to help with some minor skin issues. She referred me to Pam DePianto, Elite MD’s esthetician, and her facials are amazing (I’m going in for a third one tomorrow!). Pam is really knowledgeable and my skin texture has really improved after just two facials, without having to undergo any invasive treatments. I also have seen Jeff Wheaton, the laser RN, for rosacea - again with positive results. The office staff is great - they followed up with me the day after the laser procedure to make sure I was doing well. I’ve purchased a few of their products, all of which work really well. Everyone there is friendly and I highly recommend Elite MD."
