Recently I visted Skin Essence A Day Spa recommended by my best friend. I had really bad acne skin since I was a teenager. I've tried many different treatments, including antibiotics and other day spas, but nothing worked. When I visited Skin Essence, I was extremly impressed with my result from the first acne treatment I received. Everybody around me, my family and coworkers noticed the change in my skin complection, and the decrease in my pimples. I was so excited to see my new skin that has been hiding under my acne for years! Lina made me really comfortable by explaining to me the procedures, the price, the length of treatment and the result that I should expect after my treatment. She spent an extra 30 minutes with me on the first visit explaning to me the special cleansing technique she designed that I need to use in order to enhance my acne treatment. Not only did she teach me it, she even went through it step by step with me. She analysed my skin using the skin scope and magnify lamp inch by inch. Every product she recommended for my skin showed tremendous result. Lina truly cares about my skin and does her best to help my acne problem. Skin Essence staffs are wonderful and very friendly. I had a pedicure there and really enjoyed it as well. Their pedicure tub have ozne system that kills all bacteria and fungus. You can put your worries aside when you visit Skin Essence. They provide a very relaxing atomosphere with tasteful green tea!

Pros: Extremely impressive acne result

Lina is friendly and more knowledgeable than most estheticians. The light therapy really does work, but it takes several sessions. I have difficult skin -- sensitive, acne prone, combination, easily broken capillaries. If you advise Lina of your skin's troubles, she will help you, but you need to be very clear. She will sell you additional services and some products, but most of them are good; I advise you to know what you want before you go and only buy what you want or need. If she sells you more than you thought you wanted, then that's on you and is utimately your decision. This happened to me, but I was happy she sold me because the results were good and now I'm clear on what works for me. Now I only ask for what I want and say 'no thanks' if I don't want other things. Overall, one of the best facials I've ever had -- and I've been to highly rated spas all over the U.S.

Pros: Facials, Tanning, Eyebrow Waxing, Products

Cons: Upselling

My first time in Skin Essence was 4 years ago. I was looking for a treatment to my severe acne scars. Lina’s broad knowledge on skin care and her very friendly spa environment impressed me. After about 6 treatments, my skin went back to smooth and glowing again. I was hooked to Skin Essence ever since. More importantly, Lina helped me to establish my own skin care regime with the right products and professional treatments. I have been very happy with my skin since I met Lina. She is the best!

Lina Yang is by far the best facialist in Raleigh bar none. My skin is sensitive and prone to redness, but with Lina's treatments and products I now have a healthy glow. Even after two treatments the difference is visible, thanks to Lina's knowledge of skin and how to take care of it. Her recognition in China as being one of the best facialist's has certainly followed her to Raleigh. Her intuitive nature about people and their skin care needs, hits the mark every time!! She has my following. Thank-you Lina. You are highly recommended!!!!

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

I've been having skin problems ever since I was a teen-ager. I pretty much tiried about everything over the counter, I even consulted a demotologist. In my adult years I've tried pro-active along with other skin care products. Still nothing seem to be working for me. I'm now 34 years old. After seeing my girlfriend for the first time in a year, I asked what was she using on her skin, it looked so radiant. She gave me Lina telephone number. I made a appointment with Lina and immediately begin taking treatments. After having only 4 treatments and using the products faithly I notice a big improvement in my skin. The only regret I have is that it took me so long to find Lina. I highly recommend her to anyone whot want better skin.

Skin Essence is the best place to go for facials. I have been to several and none of them compare with Skin Essence. Lina is very knowledgeable and takes extra care with my skin. She cares about me and it shows in her excellent service. I truly feel pampered and my skin looks and feels wonderful. No one would guess my age, thanks to Lina and Skin Essence.

I have been going to Lina Yang, owner of SKin Essence f- A Day Spa -- for over 5 years. I am absolutely delighted with the results. Lina is extremely knowledgeable about skin care, skin care products, and she keeps up with the latest medical and health research regarding skin care. She knows the best treatments for all skin types, and for me, has taken years off of my appearance. I am so happy with the results of her treatments, including the microdermabrasion, the oxygen treatments, the laser pulsing light, etc., and the treatments that promote collagen replacement. The treatments erase fine lines and wrinkles. I love the use of natural vitamin and nutrients that Lina uses for facials and the products that she recommends. She researches all of the products and only uses the highest quality products that get results. She is also one of the nicest ladies that I know and I highly recommend her to all of my friends and to anyone searching for someone to do your facials and/or consult with you about day spa treatments of any kind! I am very pleased with her services! They are the best in the Triangle!

First of all, Lina is a great lady. She's very sweet and personable and interesting to talk to. I also trust her with my skin care completely. I'm almost through with an intial series of photofacials and microderm, and my skin is looking really wonderful. She has also completely reshaped and tinted my eyebrows over the last six weeks--they look amazing!! Eyelash tinting is amazing too. She'll soon be opening a larger spa and I'm really looking forward to it. Though I'm not rich and my BF would probably strangle me for spending so much on my face, I think Lina's approach to prevention is a luxury in which I'm willing to invest. I really think you can stave off aging with some of her treatments, particularly if you start early. Thanks Lina--please keep me looking 30-35 forever!

Pros: Lina herself and her knowledge about skin

Cons: none really, pricy (for me) but worth it
