Nouveau Medispa, Laser & Hair

I had an amazing experience with Cool Perl Laser recommended to me by Dr. Larry Chang and aesthetician Maddy! Maddy explained the entire procedure, including before and after. She made me feel so comfortable during my visit and I knew just what to expect. I highly recommend Nouveau Medispa!!

Today I want to thank Maria for everything she does for my skin, my face looks radiant, she has magic hands, I've been taking care of my skin here for a while but I stopped coming for a while because I wasn't seeing results, but when I came back and Maria treated me, my skin reached another level, I recommend her a thousand times, she knows what your skin needs, thank you Maria for taking such good care of my skin with the treatments you do, you are a sweetheart. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Maria for the outstanding work she did in caring for my skin. Thanks to her professionalism and dedication, my face looks radiant, healthy, and well cared for. Maria demonstrates a high level of expertise, attention to detail, and exceptional client care. I highly recommend her for facial treatments and for the care of any part of the body. Without a doubt, asking for Maria ensures high-quality service and excellent results.

I have yet to go in for my treatment, but I am already extremely displeased and am considering cancelling altogether. I rarely write negative reviews because I usually don’t see the point—but in this case, it feels necessary. I am scheduled for an ablative CO₂ laser, which is a significant procedure in terms of both downtime and cost. If this weren’t my second time having it done, I would have no idea how unorganized this office is. I received no pre-procedure call. I had to reach out myself to confirm which areas of my face were being treated and to request an additional area—something that had already been discussed during my consultation. I also had to call to confirm that my prescriptions were being sent to the pharmacy. Then I was told they couldn’t send over the Xanax because the MD was out of the country—something you would think would be planned for in advance. A few days before the procedure, I contacted the pharmacy to check on the remaining medications, only to learn that nothing had been sent. I ended up having to call the after-hours center to report that the prescriptions were still not on file, and now I’m waiting to see if they will even be called in. Overall, this has been a very disorganized and frustrating experience.

I received liposuction on my stomach and sides in November, 2017. The reason for this is more than just cosmetic. For those who have done everything correctly and still can't seem to loose any weight, please read: I had tried to loose weight realistically for more than a decade. In 2012, I began training in Mixed Martial Arts. I did intensive training alongside a nutrition plan that was based on burning fat. I did this for four and a half years without compromise, and lost ZERO fat. Considering I did over 100 crunches, lunges and sit-ups a night alongside other intensive training and ate incredible healthy, I was still overweight. Even worse, I was tired all the time from working out so much to try and loose it while also maintaining a sensible diet. Alongside that, I had to switch doctors due to retirements and moving houses. When my new doctor took me for my first check-up and I had to hear the speech about "you're overweight, you need to eat better and get more exercise," I openly cried. After about a year of tests (thyroid, metabolism, blood abnormalities, etc) it was decided the the type of fat I had was outside of my muscle groups, meaning that not only was I not loosing fat, but that all the carbs, protein, and iron I was taking was trying to burn off weight it couldn't get to, hence the reason why even though I was "living healthy", I was still tired all the time and overweight. I found reviews from people in my exact situation and read reviews about the Nouveau Cosmetic Center, and decided to at least go for the free consult. I consulted with Dr. Chang who evaluated me, listened to my story, and then talked to me about the ins and outs. He clearly laid out what he could do, how it can be beneficial besides the difference in appearance, and what the operation and recovery would entail. He laid out a projected timeline for what I would be going through and what I would need to do and maintain for recovery. (Upon reflection, everything went EXACTLY as expected, and there were NO surprises. Every piece of information Dr. Chang gave me was spot on accurate). The process was so clearly explained that after that first evaluation I was certain I would go for it. Dr. Chang (and the amazing staff) was with me the whole way through. I saw him before surgery, after surgery, and with every follow-up visit. On the follow up visits we discussed how it was going, what to expect before the next visit, and answered any question I had. The staff was also very open and accommodating of anything I needed. I had no hesitation that I could just call them up and ask them the tiniest thing. I promise that I'm not embellishing when I say that these people made me feel incredibly comfortable and supported. Though dealing with a sensitive, often embarrassing subject, I never felt uneasy around them. They were always professional, and always helpful. I can't recommend them enough. Now: the results. I attached some pictures to show the dramatic change. This shows my late October 2017 visit to my early February 2018 follow up. Only three months have gone by, and I no longer have a stomach, and now that I'm back training, I'm finding that my body is dispersing the weight in a "normal" way, instead of just making my mid-section bigger. I have also noticed an incredible spike in my energy. The diagnosis was correct: now that the extra weight is gone, I can eat like an average person and get the right amount of energy while still maintaining (and losing) weight comparable to my diet and exercise. A battle I've been fighting for over a decade seems to have come to an end. I thank Dr. Chang and his wonderful staff for not only fixing this problem, but making the actual process a positive, safe, and comfortable experience. As I continue to train and diet, I will update the pictures on this review. If you are going through the same problems and have any questions, please go for the free evaluation. I would also be glad to answer any questions about my experience. Live the way you want to live and take control, Patrick

Dr Chang and his team were great to work with as I considered and ultimately opted for an upper eyelid lift. I'm thrilled with the results and recommend Dr Chang and his team for whatever you need, whether it be an enhancement or removing a cancerous spot cleanly and with minimal scarring.
