WARNING - DO NOT GO HERE FOR JUVEDERM

by jokerface at Citysearch

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do NOT go here for any injectables. Threading is fine. I got Juvederm injections for lips by dermatologist Dr SEEMA PATEL and have been living a nightmare for a year. My mistake not to go to someone trained in facial aesthetics. She told me she'd be "conservative". Instead of injecting just the lips, she tried to reconstruct my whole mouth - make my smile "wider", fix what she said was asymetrical. On a thin face, with her injecting in and around corners of my mouth I'm left like a scarred circus freak. for a YEAR so far. Double parenthesis and a Joker smile that turns up and curls at the corners (she told me "oh women ASK to have the corners turned up, it's youthful"... not what they have in mind, Im sure). When I close my mouth I have hanging mouth bags that cover the corners. The uneven lips themselves have since dissolved, so now the corners and mouth bags are the most noticeable thing on my face. I used to have a beautiful smile and now I look bizzare and try to hide it. Gone to several plastic surgeons who have suggested it's scar tissue or new collagen. I know there is still some juvederm there from the swelling every morning. The effects of what she did to me go beyond physical and I wish to God someone would have warned me or posted a review. DONT DO IT.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Look like a circus freak

great eyebrow results

by gcpc7581 at Citysearch

Just got my eyebrows threaded and the results are great!

I've always gotten it waxed and although i've been satisfied, i always thought my eyebrows looked a bit "off". Anyways, after my first threading experience, i can say this is the method i will be using going forward. The threading sound isn't pleasing, but you're eyebrows will look great and even. The lady has been doing this for 29 years, she's quick and skilled!

• Pros: reasonably priced, skilled threader

Great place; only place for threading hair removal

by anne28star at Citysearch

This place is great, kind, well set-up and overall professional. They offer many services but this is the only place in the Philadelphia that I was able to find hair removal by threading (which if you have not tried it, I suggest you do b/c it gives much better results than waxing). Not only was my person skilled and knowledgable but the prices are fairly inexpensive as well. YOU MUST CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!

• Pros: Threading, Very skilled, various services
• Cons: none
