Chelsea Face And Body

I just want to give a HUGE shout out to Denise Bissell. Having bad skin or skin issues is the absolute worst! I think everyone can relate to this issue at some point or another. I remember moving to NY and with the pollution and the traffic, my skin completely changed. I felt like I aged 5 years in just a few months. Along with stresses of my job and life in general. There wasn’t one dermatologist who I trusted at some point I just accepted the fact that my skin was problematic. I remember being introduced to Denise by a very good friend and right away I knew I could trust her. She wasn’t trying to promote herself or products, she lead me to my dermatologist who has completely changed my skin from the inside out. When I found out she started her own practice in the heart of Chelsea (my neighborhood) I absolutely jumped at the opportunity for her to examine my skin. We see eye to eye as we both promote that skin appearance and texture has everything and anything to do with how you treat your body. Not just a quick fix and a needle. She also spends an extensive amount of time in the consultation to make sure you get the best results with your lifestyle. Since I don’t have «time» for downtime– she made it work (thank goodness)! Also as an athlete, she educated me on some recent issues I’ve been having that are results of my work out regimen.
As someone who hates attempting to exfoliate or fix my own skin– I started having Denise perform some of her magic. The results were immediate. My skin was literally glowing, my pores were smaller, and she evened out my skin tone that I try to hide with make up. (I’ll take before and afters without make up when I go back again in a couple weeks)
So thank you thank you thank you!

I’ve been to see Paul for my vi peel I’ve struggle with acne for years as a child teen and adult and as soon as I seen him for the first time I have seen some amazing results in my skin acne gone face is smooth and clear I love it definitely will be back to see Paul again soon

I live uptown but Run downtown to Chelsea for the greatest beauty treatments in
NYC!!! And I have been to a lot of different Spas and Dermotologist thru out the years. Paul and his staff are knowledgable, patient and above all very professional.
the atmosphere is clean, charming and very comfortable. I have complete trust and confidence in the skill and level of all service here. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment today!!! I’m going back next week!

So I had never had anything cosmetic procedure done before being a guy I was very hesitant and then I found CFAB on Unilocal.I decided to give it a try. Went in for a free consultation with Paul and after talking to him, I knew this was my place! They best part was that he was very casual and honest staying very professional at the same time. I told him about groupons for laser removal and how I was thinking of buying one, he gave me such a good offer that I could not say no! I had three sessions, all of them went great. The place was private and very clean. I could tell that Paul clearly love what he does and not doing it for business. I would highly recommend CFAB to anyone specially to first timers!

I have been getting the Venus skin tightening treatment at CFAB for the last several months on my neck and face. The results have been spectacular especially under my neck where I had sagging skin. Many people have asked me what I’ve had done, or if I have lost weight. (I have not) The Venus procedure is painless and feels like a pleasant warm massage.
The staff are friendly and were accommodating to fit my schedule. Paul, the owner is always warm and welcoming
.I had a «Lunch time peel» with Brianna, their aesthetician, my face was glowing for the next week. The atmosphere is relaxed and clean. I would highly recommend Chelsea Face and Body to all my friends.

Although they mean well at Chelsea face and body, they are desperately understaffed and lacking in the ability to show up for their customers. I am an actor, and I’m prime for upselling. I’m an easy mark. But you’ve got to be able to make an d keep an appointment. In addition, having your temporary phone help say things like «oh you’re a Groupon…» with eye rolling attitude is not helpful, or inspiring, or good business. There are groupons available at tons of pop up med spas. Go someplace else.

First I will say the staff here are lovely and cordial. However I was dissatisfied with the results and also the difficult process of scheduling a follow-​up appointement. It was a simple procedure I had had before so I knew the best possible results and this fell far from that. I would not recommend this place.

CFAB is a true find! With so many spas & clinics in NYC it’s really difficult deciding who is going to get your hard earned money and provide the best, top service. Well, I am so thrilled with taking the chance on CFAB & Paul. I have had Venus Freeze treatments, and it took years off my face and neck. It also worked on cellulite on thighs and legs. It has been almost 3 months and none of it has returned (Unlike with Viora Reaction). I’m going to do CO2 laser next with Paul. He’s very experienced, takes the time with you (no rushing) and is honest about the results.

So, in my mind, a «Brazilian» (in waxing, laser, or any treatment) means i’ll be able to wear an itty bitty bikini this summer. I don’t care what you have to do to make that happen, but if you call a treatment a Brazilian, a set standard for every single person is not going to work as every body is different. I’ve experienced many «Brazilian» laser hair removal sessions where the technician tells me they are not allowed to extend past a certain place, or they can only go «four fingers distance» down or some other rule. Seeing how people are different heights and sizes and have different hair situations, I am usually left with a treatment that doesn’t even allow me to wear granny panties, let alone a Brazilian cut bikini bottom.
Anyway.
I went to see Mimi at C-​Fab today and was incredibly impressed by her professional yet easy-​going nature. The appointment was easy to make and the idea of going to a «med-​spa» alleviated some of my worries since laser spas are popping up everywhere and you have no idea how long most of these people have been practicing.
Mimi has been practicing for many years, and during the treatment, she approached me as a person with my own unique hair situation. She thoroughly and evenly zapped at a quick pace, talking to distract me from the pain but also not talking when she needed to concentrate. I told her that I had many in-​growns from past, spotty treatments and she focused on those places. After all, in-​growns are as unsightly (if not more) than actual hairs!
All in all, it was awesome. if for some reason the hair doesn’t fall out I’ll update this, but in my experience spotty treatments have been more at fault than the machinery itself.
I also used a Groupon and was treated professionally and cheerfully by everyone there. As a note, tips are taken in cash only. Thanks Mimi!

If you’re looking for a stuffy, clinical experience… this is not the place for you.
It’s a congenial, quirky crew and I’m so happy my friend referred them.
I’ve had 2 SilkPeel Microdermabrasions and just finished a round of VenusFreeze Radio Frequency treatments.
I felt totally at ease and very well taken care of during my appointments.
The best part — my skin looks awesome!
Thanks CFAB!

I had a series of Venus treatments on my neck and face and I couldn’t be happier. My double chin is gone and my jaw looks very defined. A+ to Paul. He’s really friendly and did a great job. Everyone keeps asking if I lost weight but I owe it all to Paul. Highly recommend this lovely spa.

I had always been concerned about cosmetic procedures — how effective they will be and perhaps unexpected results, but the folks at CFAB recommended the right treatments and I was thrilled with the results. So far I have gotten chemical peels, facial laser treatments and injectables. I loved the results but wondered if anyone would notice. I loved that people couldn’t tell that I had anything done, but kept saying I looked so good and was ‘glowing’ — I love this place !

It is really a waste of time to make an appointment at a place thinking that you will talk to a real doctor about a serious surgical procedure and then end up meeting at a very unpleasant and unprofessional space with a guy who is just going to give you overpriced rates for procedures to be performed somewhere else. Not impressed about this place, they have a great corporate image (flyers, website, social media) and definitely they know how to reach all the Chelsea «A-​listers», but their office appearance isn’t great and the lack of a doctor to talk about your medical concerns makes the experience overall unacceptable.

Horrible service. Completely unprofessional. Scheduling mixups, they discussed paycheck issues in front of me, and never return calls. The place looks like it should be decent but it was the farthest thing from. In a big city like New York, there are 100’s of places to go to besides this place. I suggest, you look into them

So recently came in here for laser hair removal with Juan as well — extremely personable dude, gets the job done well & quickly. And who knew laser hair removal was so painful? But he got it done at the perfect pace so I wasn’t wailing like a banshee. =) I’m happy, it seems every employee at this place takes much pride in their work and does an excellent job. I was wondering why there were so many 5-​star ratings, skeptical at first even, but point proven. Love this place. Pricey, but love it.

Spoke to Bobby and went in for a peel. I was immediately impressed by how clean and professional the office looks. Bobby was helpful and attentive to my concerns. He explained how the process works and the results were amazing. I will be going back in a month or so to follow up. If you are looking for a friendly and professional staff, this is the place to go!

Lovely place!
I went in for micro-​dermabrasion from a groupon. Juan and Paul were both lovely, chatting with me — talking about the different items the practice covered. I was nervous when I walked in not having had micro-​derma done before and they both put me at ease.
Highly recommend and I will be going back!

I was concerned that being a woman they wouldn’t really cater to my specific concerns since they seem to focus more on the male aesthetic but they were all great. The staff are all very friendly and immediately put you at ease. I am very happy with my results too, which is most important!

Awesome place!!! My aesthetic was Bobby and he took his time with my treatment. He inquired about my concerns and he target my problem areas. Loved it!!!

Amazing med-​spa!!! I bought a package of laser treatments and am thrilled with the results! I also had the best microdermabrasion facial of my life here and plan to return soon for another. Beautiful office, friendly, knowledgable staff and competitive prices.
