So here I was, at my wits end with my acne and scarring. It had been 7 years since it all began and even after thousands of dollars, dozens of products and numerous dermatologist visits I sat there with the same acne and more scarring. After swearing to never visit a dermatologist again I found myself browsing online once more hoping to find that one beacon of light to save my skin. By chance I happened to stumble across this little site known as citysearch(dot)com (sound familiar?) and a favorably reviewed place called La Fontaine.
Hey, wait a second, La Fontaine? That sounds more like a spa than a place you'd go for serious dermatological needs. Oh wait, it is a spa. Ok, well if you want to be technical it is a fusion spa. But hey, who I am to judge a places credentials before I've even been there? Oh that's right, I'm the guy who has been to half of the dermatologists in Colorado (slight exaggeration) and has barely seen any results (not an exaggeration).
Yeah, I was skeptical; however I called anyways. I set up my consultation for the following week. The next week I drove down to their location in Cherry Creek. I was happy to see they had a nice underground parking lot especially due to the limited parking in the area. Upon entering their loft I was immediately impressed with the warm and inviting decor and atmosphere. I couldn't forget why I was here though.
I was here on business, skin business. I couldn't let myself get drawn in by the the plush decor... the relaxing music... the br... -wait!- I just barely managed to resist the temptation to cancel my consultation in favor of a Zen Garden Stone massage. Finally it was consultation time. I was greeted by Dr. Ken and the consultation began.
First off I was very impressed by his knowledge, he really knows his stuff. We went over the treatments, medications and products that would be best for my skin and the pricing. What I felt was really notable about this was he didn't push the products or services at all. It was the first time I'd been offered products with honest expectations of results. In the end we determined that a laser peel would be the best route and scheduled a date.
A month later I went in for my laser peel. The entire process was great and yielded by far the best results I've experienced so far (including from lasers by other derms). Overall I was completely satisfied from the experience from the customer service right down to the actual results. My skin isn't perfect yet and it may never be but with the help of Dr. Ken I'm confident I can get it to a point I want it to be at.
