Reviews for Laser Hair Removal Services in Danville, CA
"* 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"
"I’ve had lipo, fat transfer to breast and BBL all in office - I have had nothing but an amazing experience every time I walk into Elite Md. I’ve had lipo, fat transfer to breast and bbl all in office. Dr B is a loyal surgeon who not only leave you feeling great in your new body but will take time to coach you through life goals and health for maximum life long results. In addition to cosmetic surgeries I’ve done Vela shape, laser hair removal and Hydrofacials. All great experiences. The team at Elite is professional,extremely friendly and makes sure any procedure/service you have is comfortable and exceeds the standards. You are not only a patient here, you are family. Thank you Elite Md!"
"THEY ARE OPEN DURING COVID-19! I went back after 18 months for a laser hair removal follow up and Dr. Sonia and the staff were so incredible welcoming and nice! They are taking the best precautions to keep their staff and clients safe. My follow-up went really well and I love my results from my hair removal!"
"I first became a patient of Elite MD about 4 years ago when I had laser hair removal. I was impressed that my hair removal specialist was highly sought after and world-renowned in his field. Five years later, I had the courage to undergo a huge transformation - Vaser Liposuction. I spent months researching the procedure, weighing the pros/cons, and finding the right surgeon. I was led back to Elite MD because I knew they had high standards for their patient care. I met with Ray who went over all the surgery details and informed me about how to prepare for surgery by getting the correct supplements. Ray made sure I had all the information I needed to put my mind at ease. After I had a consultation with Dr. Millicent Geers, I knew I had made the right choice. She addressed all my questions, and gave me confidence in her skills to perform the Vaser procedure. I was incredibly nervous about having the surgery, but I knew I was in good hands and felt prepared for surgery thanks to the Elite MD team. They are very professional. And they are so patient with questions and VERY supportive with the post-surgery recovery process! I am a REAL patient currently being seen for post-surgery support and I HIGHLY recommend Elite MD! I am very pleased with my results - Dr. Geers is truly skilled and gave me the contoured hourglass shape that I wanted!Also, I can’t say enough about the education provided by my care team about the procedure and by Dr. Bansal about effective lifestyle and eating habits to achieve the best post-surgery outcome. Dr. Bansal generously shared his time and expertise explaining the post surgery care. So very thankful to the Elite MD team!!"

"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!"

"My journey with Elite MD has definitely been long, but that comes with the treatment of laser hair removal. It is important to communicate the problems you have with your face, to the doctors and staff so they can help find a solution. They truly have helped me overcome the battle I have had with the hair on my face. It's hard to open up about these problems especially at a young age, you worry about your image, but now I feel confident in showing my skin. Thank you Dr. Sonia for really helping me, making me feel comfortable at all times and for explaining why some treatments weren't showing as much results as other times. Thank you to the staff as well, for keeping a positive and friendly approach to your clients. I hope this encourages people to make themselves feel good about coming into Elite MD."

"I have been going to Elite MD for several years for laser treatments. I have always been helped by friendly staff at the front desk. The nurse practitioners I have seen have been knowledgeable, professional and kind. I have never felt like they are trying to up sell me. I saw Dr Sonia today as my normal nurse practitioner is out on maternity leave. She offered great advice for keeping my skin healthy while she treated me. I would and have recommended this business to my friends and family."
"I came to their new spa in beverly hills and it looks very nice. I did a laser anti aging procedure and my forehead looked tighter...I need to go in for another 2 procedures to make it permanent. I also did a laser hair removal treatment and no scars or spots from it. I even have a darker complexion but her lasers were very safe for my skin. Dr Sonia is also very friendly and will kindly answer all your questions you have."

"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."
"Real results and caring staff! - I highly recommend Elite MD to anyone that is interested in getting Kybella to improve their side profile and jawline. I decided to go to Elite MD because of their reputation and the results that I had seen with laser hair removal and CoolSculpting. Dr. Sonia did an excellent job of explaining the Kybella treatment process and making me feel comfortable. I also appreciated that she correctly set my expectations on how my results would look after the first treatment. At no point did I feel pressured to return. As far as results go, her extremely sweet team does an excellent job of documenting your before and after. They even gave me a call the next day to ensure I was doing alright. After my first session I can see my jawline is becoming more defined and I’m looking forward to my end results after my second session."
"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."

"Jeff, RN was very nice & explained everything on my first visit. I had 3 laser hair removal treatment. I had 3-4 prior to that on the same area. It’s been a few months and I’m happy with the results. Thanks Jeff! :)"

"The past couple days I have noticed how fantastic my results are from my recent visit at EliteMD. I wanted to share this with other people who are looking for a practice to go to. I saw Jeff Wheaton-RN for some vascular laser treatments for my face, and he was FANTASTIC! He educated me about the ins and outs of my skin, the laser, and what to do at home to continue to improve the tone and texture of my skin. I felt so confident being in Jeff's hands, and I recommend him and EliteMD's other amazing providers for anything that you could possibly be interested in treating."
"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 do not understand seeing ANY poor reviews for Elite MD!I have been getting a variety of laser treatments here for probably 2 1/2 - 3 years now and have nothing but great things to say. Not only are they very reasonably priced, but the staff is great, they do an awesome job, and are very accommodating. I went to another place before this for laser treatments and the results were crap and I always felt like they were in a rush to get me out of there; not here though. Jeff is absolutely AMAZING and I strongly recommend seeing him!!! He has always been polite, courteous, friendly, and very professional. This is not the type of "all business" place to go. They seem to genuinely care about their patients; which is something you don’t always see. Any question that I have, he is happy to answer and explain, or give me suggestions if I’m looking for help. The results are great! I would NEVER go anywhere else and I encourage anyone looking for any sort of skin treatment to come here and see Jeff!"

"This review is ONLY for Jeff since I have never had any other procedures there besides laser hair removal.I was brought to this place by groupon. I got six sessions at a really good price for full legs. When I first called, the front desk was really accommodating. I didn’t have my first appointment for about three months because of mine and their busy schedules, which was to be expected since the groupon was just released. When I first came in I filled out the appropriate paperwork and the front desk was very nice to me. Also, the place looked CLEAN which made me very happy :)So then Jeff brought me into the room and we started. If you do not like pain, DO NOT get laser hair removal. It is the worst pain I have ever experienced, and I had to bring my boyfriend to the second session to hold my hand. Besides the pain, Jeff was very professional. I didn’t feel uncomfortable with him and he was very informative about the process.Now, to the results. It took several weeks after the first procedure to really notice any. After those few weeks, I noticed HUGE results and was surprised about the progress after only the first session. I have very pale skin, and my hair is jet black. Before the first session, I had 2-3 thick hairs growing out of each follicle. Now I have only one, and some areas without hair. I just had my second session about a week ago, but there is already less hair. Another thing is, the biggest difference is only on my lower legs. On my upper, the hair is light brown and thin. I haven’t noticed any difference there. My suggestion is, if you do not have light skin and dark, thick hair, it’s not worth it.Anyways, even though I have seen several groupons for laser hair removal at other places, I haven’t bought them. I am going to buy more treatments, even at the full price, here because I know it works and I am so comfortable with Jeff. Plus, I know they have quality lasers. I wouldn’t risk going anywhere else."

"Honestly, I am shocked at these reviews. Have we all been going to the same Dr.?I have been a patient for a little over a year and have visited the office for a variety of treatments: botox, acne, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion and Juviderm. I've only had great results and I haven't had any issues at all with anyone there. Actually, the front desk staff (both women) have addressed me by name every time I come in. Even when I've called to ask a question, they've always said my name and asked how my parents were. After I got Botox the first time, one of the assistants called me to check on me and couldn't have been friendlier.The Nurse Practitioner who works the lasers, does Botox injections, etc., has always been wonderful. He's an absolute EXPERT in working the lasers.....I LOVED my results and I think he has so much experience that he works those machines like a pro. I too have bought the Groupon Botox package (one last year and again just about a week ago) and even used the coupon I found in our local "Our Town" mag (She offered $9/unit, unlimited units) and never ever thought Dr. Sonia shorted me (and the Nurse Practitioner injected me too and I never thought he shorted me either). I saw the syringes. Same thing for my Juviderm, she showed me the vial before and after my injection.Dr. Sonia's always been so friendly and sweet with me. And every issue I've had with my skin, she's addressed, given me options, and gave me the results promised. For my acne, specifically, Dr Sonia was the ONLY Dr. who gave me an action plan to attack my adult-onset acne. She printed out a schedule for me which included a morning routine, evening routine, prescription meds to take and apply, etc. It was so organized and I am THRILLED with my RESULTS! My previous Dr kept me on Doxycycline for a YEAR without great results and just said to come back and see her next year (that's why I switched to Dr Sonia). Dr Sonia was the only one to present me with a full action plan to combat my acne and guess what? I am almost acne free today. The plan is really working. These are the best results I've had in 3-years. And regarding her products, for my acne, she recommended her own products AND over the counter stuff (she specifically mentioned Cetaphil and Neutrogena). She never ever tried to sell me anything. I plan to go back for more laser hair removal in March and a check-up on my acne. Next year, I'd like to consult her on that non-invasive lipo as well.I think Dr. Sonia and her staff are incredibly smart and successfully tackled the dermatological issues I presented them. I will keep returning."

The procedure went flawless.I haven't been exposed to skin care or other procedure but I highly praise the services I recieved."
