Subject: Wonderful Aesthetician!

I have had problems with my skin breaking out, scarring and out of balance for a long time. I have had alot of facials and alot of products recommended to me that did not do anything for my skin. I went to Melanie hoping to figure out my problems and she has been amazing. All the reveiws here are true! She has made my skin look great and has helped all of the issues that I had. The product line she uses is great, and never has made me break out, or irritate my skin. And the anti-aging products give awesome results. Melanie is very knowledgable and knows what to do to get results. I would recommend her to anyone. She also is a great person! Thanks Melanie!

Pros:

highly skilled, affordable, professional

Subject: If you have adult acne, you must see Melanie at Cary Skin Care!

Three months before my wedding, I contacted Melanie after a disppointing visit to the Duke Center for Aesthetics. My skin was severely broken out and I was devastated. Prior to making the appointment, she promptly answered my email requesting additional information about the products she uses (not animal tested). At my request, she called me to discuss treatment options and even gave me advice to begin treating my acne at home prior to our first visit. She tailored my treatment based on my acne, skin type and high sensitivity. She listens very carefully and pays close attention to your skin's reactions during treatments. Furthermore, she understands what it is like to have adult acne. Melanie is incredibly intuitive and skilled in her profession. She puts all of her kind heart into her work. I did not have a single raised blemish on my wedding day:)

Pros:

Results, Very Fair pricing, Wonderful Person

Cons:

NONE

Subject: Everyone else was telling me that they couldn't do much to help....

Melanie was able to treat my VERY SEVERE acne scars, when every other dermatolgist and aesthetician told me that there really wasn't much hope. I had very deep, crater-like scars and extreme colour contrast on my face due to hypo and hyperpigmentation. Through a serious of intense microdermabrasion treatments followed by a mid-depth chemical peel, my scars went from deep concave "holes" to nearly flat, MUCH less noticable imperfections on my skin. My skin tone was evened out as she gradually minmized the appearance of hyperpigmented areas. Overall, I notice that my skin is much softer and clearer, since the callous-like layer of sun-damaged skin was removed completely. Melanie was very attentive to my individual needs, and went out of her way to tailer her services to address the particularly complicated problems that I had. I feel very lucky to have found her, and would WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend her to anyone looking for anything - from a simple freshening up of their skin to treatment of more serious scarring or coloration problems. Her fees were very reasonable, much lower than many others due to the fact that she works on her own rather than as someone else's employee and is therefore not required to pay a percentage of her fees to "the house." Melanie is reliable, trustworthy, constantly expanding her knowledge and skills in the field of medical aesthetics and skin care products, willing and qualified to use new techniques and products, and perhaps most importantly she is honest about the likely/realistic level of improvement that a client can expect - she does not promise results that she cannot deliver and she gives 110% effort to achieving real results for her clients.

Subject: Better than a dermatologist

I went to see Melanie for the first time this week after reading the glowing reviews on CitySearch. I can understand why the review were so good. Melanie took a lot of time asking me about what skin concerns I had. She was very knowledgeable and proceeded to give me the four in one facial treatment with lots of explanations about what she was doing/how it would feel, etc. She took her time with me so much so that the folks in the outer office had already turned off the lights when I went to leave! I could see an immediate difference in the way my skin looked after the treatment. She even called me at home the next day to make sure I didn't have any questions/concerns. When was the last time a dermatologist gave you a personal phone call? Compared to a dermatogist visit ,this was money well spent. I will definitely go back.

Pros:

Very personal service + evident results

Cons:

none
