Patient Reviews

“If it were possible to give more than 5 stars, I would. I’m genuinely ashamed at how long it has taken me to write this review — Mel & her team deserve all the praise they can get! I have suffered from cystic & hormonal acne off and on my entire life. All throughout high school, I was bullied and called “connect the dots” and “pepperoni face” because 1. Kids are mean and 2. My face & body was covered in acne. Thanks to the pill & one round of Accutane, I was free of acne from the ages of 17 – 27. During that fantastic decade, I hardly remembered those painful teenage days. Fast forward to 2021 and I decided to get off the pill for a variety of health-related reasons. I was terrified about what this would do to my skin, but I figured I was “old enough” to never deal with the same skin issues I had as a kid. WRONG. My skin flared up worse than it ever had as a teenager. I had cysts all over my cheeks, forehead, chin, back, chest —everywhere. I had tried to self-treat at home, but nothing was working, so I finally reached out for help. Thankfully, I made the best decision of my life and reached out to Mel and her team. My initial esthetician was Rheanon — an incredible woman with a heart of gold who helped me get my acne under control. I did three Acne Bootcamps over the course of a year with her, and within 4 months of treatment, the cysts were mellowing out and I no longer experienced the barrage of breakouts. About six months in to treatment, I was acne free. That may sound like a long time to fellow acne sufferers reading this, but remember acne takes months to form under the skin — nothing and no one will be able to clear it overnight! Rheanon has since moved to another state, so I transitioned my care to Mel, the owner & founder. WHAT A LITERAL SAINT. Mel is one of the best people I’ve ever met. EVER. I have cried upwards of 10x at Beautiful Skin Denver (iykyk, acne & life can be devastating) and she and Rheanon have always been by my side, my own personal cheerleaders. I truly don’t know where I’d be if I hadn’t found Mel & Beautiful Skin Denver. Acne takes its toll on your mental health and self esteem, and suffice it to say, I was in a losing battle when I stepped into their office back in October 2021. It’s been almost two years since I took the leap and sought a solution for my acne and I’m so thankful that I did. I’ve gone through three rounds of microneedling for scarring and that has helped tremendously, as well. I still have the occasional breakout, but as they say at Beautiful Skin Denver, healthy skin can still develop a zit here and there — I adore their realistic expectations and mantras. Overall, my self-esteem is on the rise, my skin is looking more like the skin I remembered while on the pill, and I can’t thank Mel and her team enough for their generosity and expertise. Y’all saw me at my lowest and treated me with such kindness…I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you but I hope speaking my truth here brings in anyone who might relate to my story. THANK YOU, MEL! Thank you, Beautiful Skin Denver!”
