Go To Your Dermatologist Instead!

by vaa722

Given, it is a nice office - and the gals are nice...nurses even, however, please read the other reviews....most are on laser hair removal....do you really need a nurse to do that! Now on actual skin care...also please read review by chemin on their skin care issues at Emit.

After a visit to Emit for Rosacea and general inquiry into laser rejuvenation, I decided to visit my dermatologist for a 2nd opinion. I explained to him what Emit suggested to me as the answer to my skin care concerns and he was appalled. Dr. K. is a leading dermatologist in Portland and is highly regarded among his peers.

He indicated to me that the program Emit suggested was not only the incorrect procedure for my skin; it had the potential to cause irreversible damage.

Needless to say I have left my skin care to the professionals and will never, ever visit a day spa for any treatment for my face.

The few months of training a young girl receives for her ?esthetician? certificate is in no way interchangeable with a medical doctor?s years and years of medical training, specialization and expertise.

And?by the way?.the cost to have my doctor treat me was LESS than Emit quoted?so save yourself some money and most importantly, save face?.and go to a medical doctor!

• Pros: Good for anything that a doctor does not do...i.e. laser hair removal
• Cons: No substitute for a dermotologist!

Very professional and great results!

I'm very pleased with my experience at Emit. The staff is always professional, friendly and honest. I love the fact that only licensed nurses do the treatments and not estheticians - they always make me feel comfortable and I know that I am in good hands! Also, the doctor who injects their fillers does an AMAZING job!

• Pros: licsened nurses, skilled staff, service, late appointments
• Cons: nothing! (except i wish they offered massage services too)

Professional and friendly atmosphere!

I really appreciate the experience I had at EMIT. I've recently turned 40 and am noticing the changes in my skin, (not to mention some hairs that weren't there just a year ago!). I called EMIT and had a brief phone consultation followed by a skin evaluation two days later in their office. The staff was friendly and very considerate of my privacy. The skincare consultant was very knowledgable, set me up on some great products and a skin renewing package! My skin looks better than it has in years! The lines around my eyes are even starting to fade! My sister is now doing laser hair removal and loving the results, so that's what I'll be doing next! Bottom line is that I'm really glad I chose to do this for myself!

• Pros: Ambience, experience, medical staff
• Cons: On the west side, but worth the drive
