Acqua Blu Medical Spa Reviews — Pittsburgh / Upper St Clair Location Reviews — Page 11

Dr. Heil did a magnificent job of suturing a long laceration near my eyebrow following an accident. He was able to hide it in my eyebrow and the scar tissue is only visible if you know where to look. His physician assistant gave me good instructions to minimize scar tissue as it was healing. Thank you very much.

I had a mole on my forehead since birth and it started to itch and change colors. Also had some scaly, itchy areas on my ear that were bothering me. Went to the dermatologist, Dr. Busquett @ ABMS to get the areas checked out. They recommended removal of the suspicious mole and treatment for the pre-cancerous lesions on my ears (AK confirmed from biopsy). Went to their surgery center in Wexford (goes by Premier Plastic Surgery) to have the mole removed by the plastic surgeon, Dr. Heil, since it was in the middle of my forehead. Great experience there - taken back quickly, prepped and had the procedure done under local numbing agent. Very happy with results as there is no evidence of a scar whatsoever. Regarding the AK, had a procedure with light therapy and some kind of drug that they painted on my face. The light activates the drug which kills the cancer cells. They were really good about informing me that the procedure would feel like a real bad sunburn. It did! I did a lot of research on the web before and everyone said the same thing - it's the way the drug works. They put a mini hose with cool air blowing on my face to ease the discomfort. After that they gave me the right creams and products to take care of my face while it healed. Overall, very pleased with the experience and would recommend to anyone who asked where to go.

Thank you for taking the time during the consultation. This was my first treatment and I am so pleased with my results of Botox and Juvéderm Volbella. Not painful and the results were actually what I wanted. Great job Doctor Heil and Zak.

I've had tattoo removal and Botox here. They staff are always friendly and they treat their patients wonderful. Their prices are a bit steep but you pay for what you get.

They do a really good job! Patience and kind, one of the best!

I just wanted to highly recommend Dr. Brian Heil of Premier Plastic Surgery. I had a breast augmentation in August 2009 and I'm extremely satisfied! The Aqua Blue Medical Spa has a wonderful atmosphere; it just makes you feel relaxed. The staff is wonderfully nice and always smiling and happy, even at their busiest times they make you feel like you're the only patient there! Dr. Heil is a wonderful surgeon, very soft-spoken and nice, and knows what he's doing. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Heil!

Staff is amazing! There is no upselling, pushing unnecessary procedures. They listen and the staff is educated on every procedure. Great experience I highly recommend! They provide a multitude of services.

I went in for a consultation and couldn't have been happier. The staff was pleasant and very friendly. The waiting room is relaxing and quiet and has coffee and water available. I visited the Upper St Clair location and had my consult with Drea. What a fantastic lady! Extremely knowledgeable, but able to explain things in layman's terms for those who may not be medically versed or know much about the procedure. She has a fantastic personality and answered every question that I had. I look forward to visiting her for said procedure up at their Wexford location. I also found out that this location will be closed for about a month as they move closer to South Hills Village. They will be in the same shopping center as Nothing Bundt Cakes and Duck Donuts. Sounds like a dangerous move lol

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'm blown away! I got filler years ago and had swelling for a week. Zak did my filler and I have zero bruising or swelling. The staff is sweet and welcoming and my experience was great. Highly recommend!

This is hands down the only place I would go to for any plastic surgery needs as well as cosmetic needs . I have had experience in many areas ... nothing but excellent results . This is also where I go for dermatology for my entire family and extended family .

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!

I have been going to Acqua Blue for a number of months now and I am really satisfied with my results. Both the laser hair removal and the IPL facial laser treatments have been great. Ellen has provided my services and has shown such professionalism and skill in her field. I would recommend her to anyone needing these services. She explained everything in detail before she began and was very patient and thorough which is important to get even and positive results. I will continue to go to this facility because of her despite being repeatedly disappointed in the front office staff. First let me say that they have been very friendly on the majority of my visits. That being said, I have shown up for an appt that I had on both my phone and home calendar , only to be told that my appt had been earlier in the day and that i could not be seen. On the next appt, I was asked to fill out all the paperwork for a new client despite the fact that I had been there a number of times and had already completed these same papers and nothing had changed. Apparently my folder had been lost since my appt just a week before. Next I purchased a "special" over the phone which was billed to my credit card for three visits. Each time I go, I am asked to pay for these services despite the fact that they are prepaid. Each time it has been an ordeal to "find and correct that on the computer" Overall a very nice, clean and friendly place that can hopefully work out some front office issues.

Referred to Premier by a friend who had breast augmentation by Dr Heil. Her results were natural and experience positive. The referral was a good one for me. Dr Heil explained the procedure to me and I felt confident with his experience, vision for my surgery and also important to me was his bed side manner. i wanted a surgeon i could connect with. my results are better than I ever expected and follow-up care was never rushed . facility was impeccable and clean. like my friend I will be recommending premier to my friends and family. thank you dr heil. I love my results.

as a registered nurse and seeing many of doctor heil's patients throughout the years, i had no doubt what surgeon i wanted to consult with for my breast augmentation and tummy tuck. he is great at what he does and will give his honest feedback on what he thinks would look good and natural on your body type, which i appreciated. i can't thank him enough for the great job he did on my breasts and tummy. during my healing process, i was very cranky; i couldn't wait to get back to my normal routine. doctor heil continued to remain patient and kind with me even though i was less than desirable to be around. most of the staff at premier had procedures there themselves so they were always there for me to lend support when i needed it. i huge thank you to renee for always getting back to me so quickly. being on the patient side of things and not being the nurse, gave me a different perspective and the entire experience was one i would recommend to anyone. i want to extend a big thank you to doctor heil and his entire staff for their exceptional compassion, professionalism, and care. never doubted you, only reinforced what i already knew to be true. doctor heil, he is among the best in the business.

I have gone there several times and I am not disappointed. Ellen is wonderful and spends time with me. She is professional and spends the time to make me feel like I am an individual not just an appointment. I would highly recommend her for any procedure. You will not go wrong.

Enjoyed my experience at Acqua Blu. I had a facial done and I really love the way I look. The front office girls were so polite and friendly. My son has also seen James in the dermatology office. He LOVED him. He was very knowledgable about his condition gave us the perfect treatment option even a teenage boy could follow. I would recomend this place to everyone.

What a great place. The girls that greeted me were very warm and kind. I see Dr. Heil for a few things and he has always been wonderful to me. He and his staff are very passionate when it comes to patient care. When I leave, girls that reschedule my appointments are always very accommodating. I give this place 5 stars!

Overall a very pleasent and professonal experience!! The staff is very friendly and helpful, including everyone from the girls at the front desk to the providers.. The atmosphere is very relaxing. I have been to Premier/Acqua for a couple different procedures so I have seen different providers at the practice and I can honestly say it is so wonderful to have a clinic that offers everything in one place.

LOVE IT!! My children are patients of James, and I am a pt of Dr. Heil. I couldn't be happier with this practice. James never makes us wait- makes my children comfortable, and Dr. Heil is a perfectionist with my Restylane treatments. The front office is professional and courteous.
