Michelle's Beauty & Wellness Center LLC — Attraction in Honolulu

Last year, I was looking on Yelp & Google for dermatologists because I had some skin concerns that I wasn't able to take care of on my own and with my skincare products. I spent a lot of time searching up different clinics and reading about the services they provide and more importantly, reviews on people's experiences.

I came across Michelle's Beauty & Wellness and finally decided to book an appointment with Michelle. What stood out to me was the amount of good reviews she had. At my first appointment, I had a skin evaluation where Michelle took a look at my skin and I got to share with her what my concerns were. Michelle provided me information on the different services and told me what she recommends.

So far, I have done Picosure, Laser Genesis, Hydrafacial, and Chemical Peel. They all help with different skin concerns. My main concern is large pores and Michelle recommended Picosure, which penetrates more deeply into the skin and can help with that. Laser Genesis is more gentle than Picosure and helps with redness, skin tone, texture, etc. Michelle explained that hydrafacials clean and hydrate the skin + helps with the overall skin appearance. Your skin will look nice and glowy! In my most recent appointment, I tried a chemical peel. I had some pimples and some scarring. Michelle recommended it to get rid of the damaged top layer of skin to reveal healthier, smoother skin. However, I was very hesitant to do a chemical peel because of the peeling that will happen. It's fine if I'm home and all, but since I have to go work, I was worried about how much it will peel. Michelle told me we can go with a more mild peel compared to a more intense one and I decided to do it. During the process, you will feel your skin tingling, but it was manageable since it was a mild peel. I'm not excited for the peeling part, but I'm excited to see how my skin will look afterwards~

Overall, I highly recommend going to Michelle! My experience has been great and my visits to her clinic were enjoyable. Michelle is really easy to talk to and you can definitely share with her all of your skin concerns. She is great at listening and will do her best to recommend what she believes is the most suitable/effective treatment. During the sessions, she makes sure that you feel comfortable, asks how you're doing, and will reassure you it's normal to be feeling a tingling sensation/heat/etc. Because of that, she helps me to feel at ease. I can tell that she cares and wants to help me with my journey to having better and healthier skin~ If you're unsure about calling to make an appointment, don't wait any longer and give...

Michelle has helped me so much with my skin. I cannot stress how much I deeply appreciate her. I have struggled with issues like acne scars, uneven texture, and hyperpigmentation for a while. Michelle is very experienced, knowledgeable and took the time to answer any questions I had related to skincare and the treatments their place offers. She will initially ask about your general concerns, consider skin type (dry, oily, combination), and your current skincare routine during consultation and go off from there before settling on treatment options suited for you.

I honestly feel that Michelle takes care of me. I personally came in for a pico laser appointment at first and the experience was good. I already had a few treatments done and with each visit, she always asks about how I felt about the sessions and if I was feeling okay during the process when I'm with her. I value my comfort, well being and safety so I'm grateful for her for always checking with me. Pico laser can get uncomfortable, everyone's pain tolerance to the machine will vary a little depending on your skin sensitivity. Thankfully the numbing cream applied prior to the session made it bearable. Michelle is understanding, kind and sincerely wants to help with your skin. She made it a point saying that results from treatments require a lot of patience and get better with time. They are quite an investment and how I take care of myself outside of those treatments is also very critical in how all that connects to overall skin health-- I learned so much from her and understand that more now.

Michelle gives sensible, heartfelt advice and feedback. She will ask a little about lifestyle. She takes the time to talk about on how I can take care of the health of my skin more effectively (like changes to diet or routine, tips on managing stress level etc.) just like she did with explaining how their treatments and machines work. Michelle sometimes suggests or recommends supplements and skincare products she feels will help with maintenance and managing acne, depending on your condition and what your body needs. I use some of products she recommended for me now and they have helped me immensely in keeping the results I got from my treatments. Overall, my skin is healthier, I feel more confident in myself and feel that I can take care of my skin more better! My improvement and progress so far wouldn't have been possible without the help of Michelle. I recommend her to anyone seeking treatment for scars and...

As a physician, when it comes to advanced treatments to the skin, technique and safety are both very important to me. This is the main reason I wanted to write this recommendation today after visiting Michelle's Beauty and Wellness Center for Laser Genesis and IPL.

I met with Michelle for concerns of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and skin texture. I had always been hesitant to get laser treatments because I have skin that is prone to PIH/ post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Michelle was extremely knowledgeable and experienced, she immediately recommended a gentle combination treatment regimen with Laser Genesis and IPL. She is smart with a through understanding of the mechanism of her devices. She is also knowledgeable in regards to skin care and skin physiology. She gave me the reassurance and confidence to proceed with a laser therapy and I am so extremely happy with the results.

Just as promised, even after several treatments, I did not have PIH and my skin texture and dark spots improved dramatically as well as my fine lines. I also use a customized after care regimen that Michelle recommended just for me. Her products help my skin stay moisturized and bright. I love it so much, it has now become my daily skincare routine.

In addition to Michelle's techniques, I was also very impressed with her facility. It is clean and sanitary while warm and relaxing at the same time. I had expected more of a clinical experience with laser treatments, so I was pleasantly surprised when my treatment felt like I was at the spa getting a facial. The treatments were gentle and required no topical numbing. I did not experience any kind of discomfort. I am definitely coming back to Michelle for maintenance treatments and I highly recommend anyone...
