Skin Zone Medical – Hannah Vu, MD

I would give zero stars if that were possible. What a terrible experience I had here. After reading other reviews, I realized that my experience was par for the course at this place. The doc blew into the room, made me face the mirror then proceeded to rip apart my face. To hear her tell it, I am a wrinkled, sagging, hideous old hag who needs thousands of dollars worth of work. Obviously I have some concerns about my wrinkles otherwise I wouldn’t have been there for botox but I do not believe I should have walked out of there feeling as terrible and as ugly as I did. Much like she has done with many, many others, the minute she realized I wasn’t going to purchase additional treatments, she had me lay back and without warning, began the injections, finished quite rapidly, slapped the ice on my head and left the room without a backwards glance. And let’s not forget that she charged me an extra $ 45. If you purchased a groupon and haven’t used it yet, eat the money. It isn’t worth it.

it’s a horrible place, in one sentence. I do Not recommend! I got a letter from the court, one of Dr. who diagnosed me, got a lawsuit. doesnt it tell it all? i feel sorry for the bad reviews and i am in a same boat…

I don’t recommend anybody to come see Dr​.Vu.
First, she doesn’t have a manner of a doctor. She is unprofessional when arguing with customer. I got filler for my nose, after getting injected, I expressed to her that my nose was not straight and there was lump on my inner eyebrows, and the whole nose looked very lumpy, she got fuzzed and argued with me. The way she talked was very rude and it humiliated the patient, she talked as if I did not know the anatomy of the skull, and asked if I ever studied anatomy !!! She doesn’t know I am a nurse and that was not an appropriate attitude to talk to patients .
Second, she messed up my nose by injecting on the wrong area to shape the height of my nose, now I have to walk around with the lump on the inner of my eye brows where she said the nose Should start from, my face looks like I’m very grumpy. however where the nose needed to be high was not fixed to be. After the injection a week, it got lower and lower. I asked her she said I needed to come back and pay more to make it higher because the portion of my filler was used.
As a person who works in Heath care field, I don’t think this woman has skill and she does not care about what is called «humanity ». She just tries to get your money as much as she can without helping you anything.
Again, I sincerely hope that my bad experience could give you a head up if you have an intention to come see her ! I wish I had checked all this review before seeing her.

One time and never again with this place and Botox. Sadly I did not read or research all about Skin Zone and Dr Hannah Vu until after my visit. I notice a mixed bag of good and bad reviews online unfortunately I have to ad to the bad ones. I am very experienced in getting botox I have done it off and on for years and all via groupon so I came here with a $ 99.00 20 units voucher. I will agree the Dr. tries to upsell you on the botox which I politely declined, I found her bedside manor just ok not rude like some claim but not stellar either, it was fine though since hey it’s just a quick treatment of botox. The main problem is I am convinced she uses diluted ineffective botox!!! Botox is made only by Allergen and I didn’t see her using the bottle so who knows how it was mixed. My claim of this was validated after I came online and I see just how many other people seem to also believe her botox is diluted. I can say this because my wrinkles and ability to move my forehead didn’t change after treatment from her. This is a first that the botox did not work with a treatment. I write this as a cautionary tale. I will be contesting my charge with groupon. I expect her office to write some fluffy response to this poor evaluation I have made of her not quality injections but, please take my word on this I would not recommend this place to anyone if you expect good results.

NOT RECOMMENDED! PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
SHE IS NON-​PROFESSIONAL AND INEXPERIENCE,
DON’T LET YOURSELF BE THE NEXT «LAB RAT»
I recently had a rhinoplasty done by Dr. Hannah Vu. When I initially talked to her, she was very professional and seem like she knows what she doing. However, the result did not come according to what she told me during consultation. She told me she was going add a silicone to the bridge of my nose to make it taller and would make my nostrils smaller. It was exactly how I wanted my nose to be. I trusted her because she sounded very professional, so I had my nose done by her.
Post-​op Day 7:
A week after the surgery was done, I came back to remove my bandages. My nose was still swollen as it supposed to be. However, I told her my nose does not look right because it does not look straight. She said, «It’s okay. Your nose is still swelling that’s why you feel like that. Its normal. You should not worry too much.» I also informed her that I feel a lot of pressure on the inner corner of my eye. It seems like the silicone was placed on the inner corner of my eye and that it doesn’t seem to be placed in the middle of my nose. I can feel it when I touched it. So Dr. Vu pushed it back to the middle of my nose. Luckily the pain was relieved after it was pushed back.
I went home and examined my nose. I was really disappointed because it still does not seem right to me. It was not only swollen, but my nose was also not straight and not symmetrical. I came back the next day and what’s even worse was that she did not spend enough time to check my nose or measure my nose. She did not give my any pain killer or numb my nose. All she did was pushed the silicone toward the middle of the nose AGAIN. I could literally feel the silicone moving from the side of my nose to the middle. It was PAINFUL and HURT me so badly. I was really upset at what happened but I let it go.
So she sent me home and asked to see me within the next 2 weeks for a follow up. Again, the next day when I woke up and check my nose, it still does not look straight and was not center. I came back 2 days afterwards according to her work schedule at the office. I told her please check my nose again. It still did not look straight and was not center to me. She asked me to lay on the table. This time she pushed it VERY HARD. It felt like you have to use all the strength to open the closing jar. Please note that this has already been 10 days since I’ve done my nose with her. She did not give me any pain killer nor numbing my nose at all.
This time when she pushed it hard, I got so upset and angry that I cursed out at her. She was supposed to numb or give me some type of painkiller, but she didn’t. I was so mad and got hurt so badly.
Post-​op Day 10:
It’s been 10 days post surgery date and I still have to wear a cast on to make sure it will not move back to the side of my nose. I complained this issue to her and told her I haven’t been satisfied with her service. She said she read my review online and threatened to post my profile online for others to view. I was disheartened and shocked when she said that to me. This not only was a violation of patient privacy but my self-​esteem.
Afterwards, she told me I have to wait and follow up with her in 5 days.
expected me to wear the nose cast for several months. I thought to myself… omg this is ridiculous!
Post-​op Day 15:
My nose is still not center. I went to see a different Plastic Surgeon and asked him for a consultation. Unfortunately he informed me that there’s nothing to be done at this point since the surgery was recent. I have to wait another few months until my nose is fully recovered before he could do anything.
Overall:
I know
by TV commercials. She sounds professional but she is incompetent and lacks the skill sets to perform her job. Please do yourself a favor and don’t let her professionalism trick you into getting things done by her.
Inexperience and lack the patient care that a doctor should provide to a patient. She always seem to rush out to see the next patient. This is my experience with her at the Bristol Office.

Don’t come to this place! Don’t come to this place! Don’t come to this place!!!
It is horrible and definitely the worst place that I have ever been and will ever be. I would like to give it no star if I can. It is very long waiting. And the doctor and staffs will be very friendly if you exactly do what they want (including spending unneccessarily and doing the treatment that you totally do not need to). Otherwise, they will show you other faces (one of the front desk will treat you as an enemy somehow and show you the white eyes and doctor will be mad on you and will throw her temper straight on your face).
Moreover, the doctor is lack of professional knowledge. She does not even know that the area under eyes and the area near the cheeks should use different types of hyaluronic acid or filler. I did the filler many times with many different doctors. All of these doctors have never had this problem. Every time I showed them the area, then they chose the correct filler for me so I have never noticed this problem and that’s why I suffer the disaster on my face which is made by Hannah Vu (Sorry, but I really cannot put «Doctor» in front of her name since I really doubt about her professional skills). After the disaster on my face, I went to another three doctors to fix this. After I showed them the photo of the filler that Hannah Vu put in my face, all these three doctors immediately told me that she used the wrong filler. They all surprised what she did on my face. Finally, one of these doctors would like to save my face to dissolve what she did. Thanks a lot. I spent about $ 650 in her place to destroy my beauty and another $ 500 just to fix it.
I do not know other treatments in this place and I will never try it, but I could tell everyone I know and everyone who sees this review that DO NOT DO THE FILLER IN THIS PLACE!!!
P. S. I will not show the photo of the disaster on my face although it is already fixed by another doctor. However, I could describe a little bit. After she put the filler into my face, it is bruise (which rarely happens on my face but I am okay with it) and the face is like hilly area, not smooth at all. There is two puffinesss under each eyes, which my grandma looks much better at her 90s. On the cheecks (the areas between the mouth area and the cheeck area, I do not know the exactly word for this so just use «cheecks» to present.) you can exactly see the where the needles get in since they bulges out and now you can imagine the face. About the traces of the needle, she sweared that it would disappear, but apparently it does not after two weeks.

Classic case of cheaper isn’t better! First time I went I ended up with a huge bruise on my forehead from Botox when I never had that occur before. I also waited 40 min.
I decided to go back and give it a second shot. I ended up leaving after waiting an hour after my appt time! I find it absolutely disrespectful and insulting that her office continually over books her schedule to then make people wait! Time is valuable! Especially when I work 6 days a week!
Don’t waste your time! Go somewhere else that is reputable!

I have been coming to Dr Vu for 3 years. I love her work, the results are fabulous, I trust her completely. I am turning 66 this month-​most people think I am in my mid– fifties. For the cost of two outfits I can look years younger. I see her about twice a year.

I went to Skin Zone this past Saturday for just Botox (which I have done before) Normally 20 units is what I use… but once the doctor entered the room and within 1 minute… BAM, I need 40 – 50 units at a much higher price. Once I declined she was just rushing to hurry me up and get me out but not before making suggestions that her Medical weight loss system could help with my belly fat (btw…I just lost over 90 pounds so I found that comment extremely rude and insensitive)
Dr. Vu then mentioned that she has a procedure for the redness on my face. It seems like the whole time she was just trying to upsell and make more money. My mother being an Oncologist has the bedside manor of a angel, this office treats you like a simple transaction with no compassion at all.
Once she finished, she handed me a pack of ice and walked out before I even had a chance to sit up from the table. I laid there for a minute then just got up and walked out with no sign of the doctor to even say thank you.
Although I did read the reviews prior to my appointment, I went in with a positive attitude hoping that the people writing the reviews were just bitter. Obviously I’m a little disappointed in the experience as far as the office visit goes, but I cant comment on results yet as it takes 2 days to 2 weeks to see the impact.

I will give you 2 starts.
Just like everybody wrote, once the doctor finds out she can’t collect extra money, she treats you like… well nothing.
I was there for botox with Groupon.
She suggested one more job and I merely said maybe next time. She quickly gave up on me.
It was Friday evening and the office got busier after 5:30 (most are Vietnamese, since the doctor is one and they are more into cosmetics alterations), I think I waited for 45 min minimum just to be taken to the room, then antoher 5 min?
The doctor showed up and looked at me for 10 sec, suggested additional job. She did not insist but she very quickly gave up and did the job in 2 minutes.
While she was giving me the follow up instruction, she was walking out of the office… as if I am not even worth to talk to facing my direction.
I have never been treated this little at salon… not saying that they need to sell more agressively but after having me wait for 50 minutes, don’t I deserve the time the doctor can actually stop/​stand? She was walking away as she tells me about the follow up …
Bad and very insincere doctor that doesn’t treat the clients right with respect. Maybe I will take one more star, I just did. (I can’t talk about the result yet since … it takes 2 days to 2 weeks (if I heard her right since she was talking in the hallway, heading to the next cu$tomer instead of spending one more minute with me)

I disagree with those that reviewed with a low score. Dr. Vu & her staff are very nice and very helpful. I love my treatments, the price, no wait time & I can get in with a days notice. My friends love the results and I encourage them to go. Dr. Vu and her staff are very friendly and thorough. Dr. Vu spends a lot of time going over my objective and doesn’t try to push any services on me. I have been to other places and will now only use her. Appointments are easy to set and there’s never a long wait. Parking is very easy.
Compared to drs, in Newport Beach, Dr. Vu is by far reasonably priced, generous with her time and she really makes an effort to understand my individual needs. I am 64 and very happy with the results.
Just wish she offered more specials. How about my up coming 65^th b-​day?

I will never come back! She bruised my forehead by painfully jabbing in my Botox when I told her I didn’t want to be up sold on more units. I had so much pain and headaches, do not go there!

I’m a little blown away by the reviews on here. I thougt Dr. Vu was great. She was helpful, informative, and very patient with the many questions I had. I’m not gonna lie, I was a little hesitant considering the fact that I read her reviews AFTER I purchased an almost too-​good to be true livingsocial coupon for botox; however, I was pleasantly surprised by my experience. I WILL be back!

I’m so mad! I had appointment at 9:30 at this place and no one told the Dr was running late! I waited 30 minutes and no dr she had 2 other lady’s ahead of me. Then she came to me with and attitude.
Punctuality is important my time is valuable too! I was going to spend a good amount of money here but guess what? going somewhere else.
Her lost.

Please do not go to Hannah Vu. She did my Botox on Friday today is Sunday and I have a lazy left eye.
She did the procedure extremely quick and when she was doing it she didn’t really have any compassion towards my feelings when it I was like hey I think you hit a major nerve she’s like oh I’m sure it’s fine. Well I’m stuck with a lazy eye and wasted money worst doctor ever!!! I’m considering taking her to court! Not to mention I have extreme headaches all the way to the back of my brain and pain I’m never had pain from Botox ever!!! Not to mention she was extremely rude and cold to me never go to her she should not be a doctor!

So much damage done to my face by injecting the wrong filler at the surface of skin that I am at my forth corrective visit with another dermatologist. My new dermatologist was appalled at what «Dr» Vu had done to my face. Stating that her license be revoked. The long positive reviews are from the staff. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars in corrective procedures from Dr. Vu’s botched job. Other former customers also agree that the Botox is diluted. Rumor has it Dr. Vu has filed for bankruptcy. My review is not light hearted or ill intended, but of serious matter. Please do not book services at this venue, there are many other options when it comes to medspas in our region.

I have been going to Dr. Vu for several years now and I have had BY FAR the best results from her anti-​aging treatments. I love her Alhambra office staff. They are warm and friendly. Dr. Vu listens to your desires then tells you like it is. She definitely has a gift for gently tweeking your beauty needs. I know I can count on her to make the most of my beauty budget.
Love, love, love Dr. Vu! I’ve been to many specialists for Botox and a few other injections, but I will never go anywhere else! A skilled professional you can trust!
(by the way, I’m 56)

Had a bad experience with the groupon – It was a very hurried and painful experience. High sales pitch, overconfident attitude. Ended up with a lot of bruising.
I was dumb enough to go back again, not knowing who else to go to at the time. Spent WAY too much money, was severely, severely bruised and didn’t feel I got much for all the money I spent. Had a very messed up 4^th of July with family from out of town – was very embarrassed and I’ll never return!

Worse experience ever she wasn’t helpful at all and was rude, un professional, never going back again.
Can’t believe I went there should have read the reviews first.

Don’t ever go to this place.
Dr. Hannah is a rip off and she is the rudest person ever.
She doesn’t know how to do her job correctly.
