Reviews for League City, TX Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Narin Apisarnthanarax IPL Services

Long story. I'll try to keep it short. I get a lot of ingrown hairs so I decided to get laser hair removal. The first session was great and I had great results. The second session was today. Still waiting on those results. That's not why I'm giving a review. To be blunt, I'm a sissy with pain. Well, this wasn't any different. I complained the entire time, moved uncontrollably, and sweated more than normal. Natalie, the technician that did the laser, is amazing! She is kind, sweet, patient, understanding, and most of all, non judgmental! These 5 stars are for her! Yes, I'm a sissy. But she's always smiling and makes the whole process not that bad. So, Natalie, thank you for making a painful and unpleasant experience a good memorable one! More

Natalie is fabulous! Makes me feel extremely comfortable. Very happy with my laser hair treatments. More

Brittnee was super friendly and gave so much valuable information to help me decide on my options. I will be scheduling multiple services! Thank you!!! More

I recently visited Clearlake Dermatology for help with my skin and had a wonderful experience. The office is beautiful and welcoming. Years of sun tanning really destroyed my skin so the esthetician Natalie suggested I do IPL for redness and another laser called Clear and Brilliant for the brown spots. It’s been 2 weeks and wow! Amazing. I go back for my next session in a couple of weeks and am so excited to see my final results! So pleased! Definitely recommend! More

Aimee was an absolute delight! She was super helpful, upbeat, informative and made me feel really comfortable with the procedure. I look forward to returning for my laser treatments under her care. More

My experience with this clinic is excellent every single time! I first saw Dr. Joe on last year! He treated my facial acne and I saw significant improvement! Next, I saw Rachel for a Chemical Peel! I was skeptical at first. It was my first cosmetic treatment ever! But, she was very detailed in the process. She answered all of my questions before, and after treatment! She's super sweet and made me feel very comfortable during my treatment! I am confident with my results. Most recently, Natalie treated me for a Clear and Brilliant laser treatment! She is very knowledgeable about all cosmetic treatments in the office. I felt as though I was at a spa during the treatment. She offered products that I should use post treatment and daily! I purchased them and I am pleased with the results and my experience with her. More

I've had liposuction many years ago with a breast reduction but decided this time to try Coolsculpting because of not being invasive and no downtime, FDA accepted and I could even drive myself. I'm also an RN. If you're having some anxiety....I had both love handles down first. The only thing that got me was when she put the first one on, I was expecting a slow squeezing and it clamped down fast and hard lol so I kind of winced. But as stated elsewhere, within a couple of minutes it was fine. The other side wasn't as bad since I knew what to expect. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly during this process may help. Strangely the larger abdomen wasn't bad at all. Afterwards there was some redness, of course cold, and some bruising in the love handle areas. The esthetician massages all these areas after the treatment to break up the 'frozen' areas back down, although there will probably be some swelling and slight tenderness to the skin post procedure for a while. You may want to take something over the counter for pain before hand. Afterwards, I took some aleve and went and had a nice dinner before driving home. I knew from reviews to expect some discomfort around 5-7 days post treatment. I did have something sort of like menstrual or gas cramps for a few days around that time. The technician did say to call in if I needed the doctor to call in something stronger but I did not, I just took aleve. I'm now a month post treatment and going to get my second set of treatments next week. I also started wearing a firm compression garment as I did after my liposuction as I think it will help with the shaping. Women are even wearing them post delivery of babies these days for the same reason. I'll also mention toward the end of my love handle treatments I felt a strange horizontal 'tugging' sensation through my abdomen and around the naval but it was just a novelty not uncomfortable. The last eight minutes of the hour treatment the machine massages the area, again not uncomfortable at all. I'm not going to go into results just yet. I will get a set of photos and measurements next week and then probably 8 weeks post the next treatments although she said allow 12 weeks for full results. The cost is for two treatments of each area a month apart. The love handles together count as one and the large abdominal counts as one at this practice. Some practices count small and large. Always ask for promotional rates or rates for more than one area and rates for more than one treatment and mention you saw their info on RealSelf if that is true for a free office consultation and other specials. And read read read reviews and rates for your area before choosing your provider. 5 stars by multiple clients is always a good sign! I hope this answers some questions and alleviates some anxiety about the procedure. More
