Ill start with positives since my experience was not how i had hoped it would be: Positives: Office was clean and had a great design (from what I could see), doctor was knowledgeable.

What happened: I went to Ageless Remedies SouthPark right after they reopened from Covid-19 closures and I understood there would be limits to the check in process and the appointment itself. However, I was not prepared to feel like I didn't belong there at all. I was made to wait outside while there was a person waiting in the lobby, I kind of get that but most doctors offices are having everyone wait outside. To me, without knowing anything about the person being allowed to wait inside other than her aesthetic (which lets face it, she was drop dead gorgeous), it pointed to I wasn't someone they wanted in their waiting room. I'm overweight (not by choice, been dieting for almost 2 years and have lost over 100lbs) and I don't have the best skin. I look a little weird, which is why I went! I digress, when I went into my appointment with the doctor, I didn't feel comfortable at all. PLEASE do not get me wrong, he was very knowledgeable, seemed skilled, and outlined his plan of attack for my crows feet and bags under my eyes. I felt uncomfortable because the sound of judgement from him and his staff already had me feeling even more self-conscious then how I have always felt way before this experience. The price was also steep. I can afford to spend the money I was prepared to spend there, however the entire experience begged for me to go to a different provider to see if it was me (my thinking) or if it really was their passing judgement (which to be honest, plastics can be a hard to read, stuck up field so if you are okay with that, take my review with a grain of salt). So I left the appointment and immediately told my boyfriend how uncomfortable it was and that I would not be pursuing Dysport or Fillers with Ageless Remedies. When I went to a different provider who I thought for sure would make me feel the same way after having to send them an unfiltered awkward video of me making facial expressions, the visit went completely different. They did their best to make me feel like I belonged, reassured me that I was "pretty in my own way" even though I didn't ask for it, and I didn't second guess that my money was good enough for them (very down to earth, non-judgmental, knowledgeable, helpful (especially with the insane amount of discounts they gave me!) and were very intentional medical professionals). They also charged me 1/2 of what Ageless Remedies was going to for Dysport and fillers. Instead I was able to get Botox and a name brand filler for literally 1/2 the cost. It seems that Ageless Remedies may cater to a certain clientele and I just don't fit that mold, and that is sad but I believe everyone should try the business first for themselves to get an idea. I am just an odd fitting person and this all could totally be my perception. However, someones own perception is their reality sometimes.
