This is the best dermatology and medical spa in Pittsburgh!
First of all, the place offers everything from lasers to Botox, and if you are considering plastic surgery, they also have a plastic surgery division (Premier). I’m a huge fan of their services — they are close to home, accessible, affordable, and they work. I have a number of friends who go here, and this place has dermatologists and PAs in Pittsburgh who actually understand the idea of looking subtle, natural, and in doing things right the first time. Hard to find in a city where it seems everyone feels they are qualified to open a medical spa and Botox center!
Second, they offer a lot of skin care lines that are hard-to-find in Pittsburgh, and they know what they are talking about in guiding you through the lines. The products are usually medical-grade, though they offer natural-friendly products like Farmhouse Fresh that are still pretty good. I like the Skinceuticals products here — they are always sold at retail (unlike some scammers in Pittsburgh who price above MSRP), always fresh, and always new. This is the only place in town I could find the Skinceuticals Lipid Restore Treatment, for instance, which just came out in Q1 2016. Bam, it was there.
The staff is professional, knowledgable, and no-nonsense; they get it done, they answer questions, they follow up, they do it right. I’m a big fan and will continue to go here for all of the things that don’t get easier with age!

I really don’t understand the low reviews. I’ve been to Acqua Blu a handful of times over the past couple months, and every visit was great! The two women who have done my facials and laser treatments have been very nice and knowledgeable. It’s always nerve-wracking to think of someone putting a laser on your face, but they have been great and my skin hasn’t looked this good in years! Prices vary depending on what you want; a facial is not going to be in the same price range as a tummy tuck!

Acqua Blu is located on Rt. 19 next to Ethan Allen Furniture just north of Wexford. I have only visited a couple times, but I am already in love with this place. I see Toni for microdermabrasion and she does a fabulous job. The treatment begins with a cleansing, gentle exfoliation, a vitamin rub, facial mask, steam treatment and a hand, arm and shoulder massage.
I don’t believe that microdermabrasion is meant to be relaxing. However, the treatment rooms are comfortable (though very small). You have the option of removing whatever clothing you would like, but since she does a shoulder treatment, it’s a good idea to get those bra straps out of the way. And the shoulder and arm massage is wonderful! She also keeps the room fairly dimly lit, but of course, sometimes you have the bright glaring facial light on your face.
Microdermabrasion is painless. They use a bristle-tip head to lightly «buff» the skin, which gently lifts away dead skin cells. Directly after treatment, your skin may look a bit pink or flushed, but this has never happened to me.
The building itself is beautifully decorated. Lots of treatment rooms. They don’t really push to try to sell you any products. And they only mention selling you treatments when they are having special pricing. And by doing that, they are doing you a favor.

From the moment I walked in, the receptionists were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The waiting room is not only spotless but stylish and comfortable as well. Mimi, who escorted me back from the waiting area, was fantastic!! She took the time to explain the entire process and made sure I was fully prepared. She was so sweet and personable, which made my visit even more enjoyable. It was nice getting to chat with her before having my lips re-done. During my treatment, I passed out, but the team handled it very well, reassuring me that it’s not uncommon and making sure I was comfortable. Overall, the entire experience was professional, smooth, and my lips turned out great!! Highly recommend!

Recently saw Cassie for my Dysport and Lip filler treatment and I cannot say enough about the process start to finish and the results afterwards. Cassie is fantastic! She was very informative, and took her time! This was something I had spent years thinking about and I am so happy I finally did it! Thank you Cassie for making me feel so confident!

Excellent staff, care and great environment. Highly trained and professional staff. I have always had excellent results and would recommend this office to anyone who has high standards, and cares about the way he/she looks.

I’ve been a patient here since 2009. Dr Heil and his entire staff have managed to combine first rate professionalism with warm, thoughtful care. I’ve never been disappointed by any procedure, nor any of the many self-care offerings at the medi-spa. And no one has ever tried to pad the bill by upselling. Completely professional here.

I love the Pittsburgh office and everyone who works there. Dreya does my Botox, my post op, (along with dr hiel) my filler and whatever else I need. She’s the only person I’ve met who says no you don’t need that but we CAN do this, or “this would work on you and look amazing” and who makes sure I’m always taken care of and beautiful. She’s amazing at everything she does, she’s super honest, and cares about her work and clients. Kathy at the front desk, and Renee in the office are always so welcoming and trying their best to accommodate my schedule and appointments. Dr hiel did my surgery and he was so caring and thorough, I’m absolutely happy with my results.
