Great treatments, great staff

by ybyb

Currently undergoing a cellulite regimen with Brandy and it is working! Brandy is experienced, attentive, and realistic in what can be accomplished. I am definitely pleased.

Also have had some laser treatments as well. All have turned out with great results.

When thinking about any aesthestic treatments, I think of La Fontaine...they are great!

Simply the best.

by Kden34

So here I was, at my wits end with my acne and scarring. It had been 7 years since it all began and even after thousands of dollars, dozens of products and numerous dermatologist visits I sat there with the same acne and more scarring. After swearing to never visit a dermatologist again I found myself browsing online once more hoping to find that one beacon of light to save my skin. By chance I happened to stumble across this little site known as citysearch(dot)com (sound familiar?) and a favorably reviewed place called La Fontaine.

Hey, wait a second, La Fontaine? That sounds more like a spa than a place you'd go for serious dermatological needs. Oh wait, it is a spa. Ok, well if you want to be technical it is a fusion spa. But hey, who I am to judge a places credentials before I've even been there? Oh that's right, I'm the guy who has been to half of the dermatologists in Colorado (slight exaggeration) and has barely seen any results (not an exaggeration).

Yeah, I was skeptical; however I called anyways. I set up my consultation for the following week. The next week I drove down to their location in Cherry Creek. I was happy to see they had a nice underground parking lot especially due to the limited parking in the area. Upon entering their loft I was immediately impressed with the warm and inviting decor and atmosphere. I couldn't forget why I was here though.

I was here on business, skin business. I couldn't let myself get drawn in by the the plush decor... the relaxing music... the br... -wait!- I just barely managed to resist the temptation to cancel my consultation in favor of a Zen Garden Stone massage. Finally it was consultation time. I was greeted by Dr. Ken and the consultation began.

First off I was very impressed by his knowledge, he really knows his stuff. We went over the treatments, medications and products that would be best for my skin and the pricing. What I felt was really notable about this was he didn't push the products or services at all. It was the first time I'd been offered products with honest expectations of results. In the end we determined that a laser peel would be the best route and scheduled a date.

A month later I went in for my laser peel. The entire process was great and yielded by far the best results I've experienced so far (including from lasers by other derms). Overall I was completely satisfied from the experience from the customer service right down to the actual results. My skin isn't perfect yet and it may never be but with the help of Dr. Ken I'm confident I can get it to a point I want it to be at.

• Pros: Results, pricing, atmosphere,
• Cons: none

Outstanding

by Beknowed

I highly recommend Dr. Ken Oleszek at La Fontaine Aesthetics for the removal of spider veins. The Diolite treatment is surprisingly simple and effective. I found Dr. Oleszek to be exceptionally professional and courteous—he provided thorough answers and skillful treatment. He obviously takes pride in his work. Spider veins were erased—they simply ceased to exist. I am absolutely thrilled with the immediate and lasting results and only regret not calling earlier.

Stay away, not worth the price tag

by St

I went in to schedule an appointment for a filler last week. The receptionist, Brandi, told me that "all fillers are collagen", could not answer any product related questions in a cohesive manner and kept rolling her eyes. Later on, I found out the there isn't even a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon on duty, but that the place is run by an ER doc! The design and location is not worth the attitude!

• Pros: Pretty
• Cons: Awful service, dumb staff

Elegant botox treatments

by dpretty

I visited for a bit of Botox to reduce my brow crinkle. The doctor listened and was attentive to my concerns. The brow crinkle has vanished and the deep set line where the brow would "wrinkle" is gone as well. My eyes even look a bit more bright.

However, the doctor did not pump with shots, so my brows looks extremely normal and otherwise mobile. It was an elegant job that never looked like a "job"! I did not even tell my husband, though he has complemented me quite a bit lately... That's great care!

• Pros: Helpful
• Cons: Pricing is on par with many LA/ NY spas

Excellent treatment of facial veins, sun damage, and bumps!!! Great for men!

by edenver

My wife convinced me to see Dr. Ken to take care of veins on my face and several bumps that had me concerned around my nose. I was skeptical at first, but after speaking with him was convinced removing several of these concerning bumps was a good idea. Dr Ken was thorough and professional. He was careful and used good anesthetics. After finishing the procedure my face looked a lot better! My wife thinks I look like I took ten years off the age of my skin by removing the veins on my face. I had a lot of sun damage and even though I'm in my late 30's my skin was showing the effects of the sun. I am very happy with the noticeable difference! I am very glad I went to Dr. Ken.

He was great and I would recommend him to any man ( or woman) that needs any facial work.

• Pros: Dr Ken is experienced and professional, setting is great.
• Cons: none

The only place to go in Denver!!

by jentheroadrunner

I have been seeing Dr. Ken for the past year, and every time I go I am incredibly happy with my results. He is kind and funny and is always very honest about what he feels is most important for improving your skin. He also takes into consideration your wants and is very up-to-date with his procedures. I had my spider veins treated this winter, and could not be happier with my results (I had them treated previously by another spa and they actually burned my skin!). I am getting married in a month and I am confident that Dr. Ken will have me looking my best! I will honestly never visit another place in Denver for another beauty treatment!

• Pros: Ambience, Service

No Bruising!!

by 6789123

Excellent service. Very knowledgeable. Make sure that you consult with the doctor. Rather than trying to talk you into stuff you don't need, Dr. Ken will give you an honest assessment of what treatment would work best for your skin type. I actually had no bruising because Dr. Ken is so skilled with the needle. I will definitely return for more work.

Not very impressed

by ECinDenver

For such an upscale place in Cherry Creek, I was not very impressed with their level of services. The doctor who greeted my fiance and I was very impersonal and not very friendly-perhaps even a bit arrogant. I had considered seeing him for a couple of medical services, but since he really could not describe the treatments (insisting that I should schedule a consultation), I decided to go to my dermatologist whose answers are anything but cryptic. This spa seemed empty on the day of our appts, so I guess we could not understand why we were left in the waiting area for so long?

• Pros: Stephanie is a sweetheart

Response from this business

La Fontaine– July 03, 2008 at 21:39:42 PDT

At La Fontaine, we offer complimentary consultations with the Doctor to review all treatment options and develop personalized treatment plans. Unfortunately, I was between patients and was unable to provide the above client with my full attention at that time. I requested she schedule a consultation to thoroughly address her concerns.
