My girlfriend originally referred me here! The place is modern and clean, and all of the staff are super friendly and professional. I always feel welcome, and they greet me and always remember all the stupid stuff I blab to them about haha.

I have a few small acne scars on my face, which I've always tried getting rid of. I first tried their microneedling treatment with PRP. The nurse practitioner Jennifer did the treatment. They put numbing cream on me and had me wait about 30 minutes before doing the treatment. Then Jennifer came at me with this needle device and every ounce in me wanted to say hell no don't touch me with that, but instead I sucked it up and let her do the treatment. My skin was red for a couple days and I really saw some improvement in my skin. It wasn't a big deal but I get so much anxiety with needles that I wasn't sure I wanted to continue with this treatment. Jennifer was awesome (it was me, not her, lol), she has great bedside manner and made me feel comfortable.

Then last week I saw an announcement on Instagram about their new Picoway Resolve laser treatment to help with texture. I called and from what it sounded like, it didn't seem to be a very painful laser at all. They said it would help with my acne scars so I scheduled and came in to give it a try. To my surprise, they said I don't need to numb but I can. I really didn't want to wait the half hour to numb so I just went for it. The treatment feels like kinda scratchy, but it was actually wasn't bad at all. Next time I might numb, but it wasn't really painful at all. It just felt hot after. They have me a machine that blew cold air on my face. I wasn't sure I was ever going to let that thing go, but after a few minutes the heat was mostly gone as well. It's now been a few days and my skin looks awesome. They told me it could take a couple months to see full results but my skin is already feeling a little smoother. I'll take it. I'll definitely come back for this treatment. My girlfriend thinks I'm a baby, but what guy likes pain haha. That whole beauty=pain thing is for women, not men. We don't like stuff to hurt. And as far as needles...I just don't like them. I MAY do more microneedling but I'm not committing at the moment. This Picoway I can do again for sure.

Sorry for the super long essay, but I just wanted to give as many details as I could because I know it can be scary for first-timers to try this type of stuff.

Some tips:
There is plenty of parking in the lot!
Call! They'll walk you through the procedures so you'll know exactly what you are doing.
There is SO much good food within a 300 foot radius of Belle Vie, so get your grub on after your treatment.
