I was referred to Skin Essence by one of my clients over a year ago after seeing incredible results with my clients skins appearance and texture. I look forward to getting skin care treatments at Skin Essence. (facials, light treatments and dermabrasion) I feel relaxed, and my skin feels rejuvenated and improved after every visit! One of the first things someone notices about a woman is her skin. Skin Essence does an incredible job, very personalized and definitely goes the extra mile!

Lina did for me in 3 months what dermatologists could not do for me in 20 years. I suffer from adult acne. After seeing Lina I now have clear skin. I never thought I could say that. With every visit there was improvement. It's very apparent she knows what she's doing. I felt as if I were getting special treatment. Lina is passionate about helping people. Even signs of sun damage are now fading. I feel fortunate I found Lina, she's changed my life for the better. I have my confidence back.
Pros: Lina's Knowledge and experience
Cons: none to list

Lina does a great job. She's a one-woman show, and I'm not sure how she keeps up her lovely personality with so many workdays and clients. Lina cares about her clients - she even set two of them up. And she remembers my history from one session to the next - not only facial history, but my life stuff. She also cares about the skin's condition and remembers its condition from one visit to the next. Sometimes she'll throw in an extra service to try it out and see whether it makes a difference. Fabulous facials - she knows the right balance, and my skin does look great after a session of microderm/Revitalight. I don't think I've had such a thorough pore cleansing, and the included peels really help. It can become somewhat costly, but for Lina's expertise and included items, it's a great value.
Pros: Facials, conversation, availability
Cons: None

Lina is SUPER nice and professional. She is always helpful and willing to work with you. I had acne problems and break-outs. After going to Linda, my skin looks great now (clean and even). She treats her clients like friends and really do care our well-being

I initially went to Lina on the word of a friend. I had had facials before in several salons and was fairly satisfied but wanted to try someone who came recommended. What a great decision! Clean looking skin was my goal but I have gotten much more than that. I have been impressed by Lina's knowledge of skin and I have a lot of confidence in her diagnostic skill. Hers is not a salon where each client gets the same services, but where one knows that she is recommending exactly what is best for each individual. She had a lot of training in China where lovely skin is even more important than in this country, and she continues to update her knowledge through seminars and workshops. I look forward to my visits. I have even gotten used to the daily home routine using her products and my skin looks amazingly better - smooth, glowing with health and definitely younger. I've also crossed paths while there with a couple of women with adult acne who were delighted with their results. She is the best!

After leaving my appointment, I feel refreshed and relaxed and I am always looking forward to my next appointment. I definitely recommend Lina's services to everyone I know because I trust her ability to handle a variety of skin care needs. I love the atmosphere that she has created and the quality of her services. Skin Essence will definitely continue to be my choice for facials!
Pros: Lina's Knowledge and experience

No doubt, clearly the best day spa in the Triangle! It only takes one visit and you can feel and see that your skin is looking much healthier and smoother. Lina is very knowledgeable about skin products and she truly cares about your skin and only wants the best for YOU! She not only cares about your skin, but she also cares about your health and your well being. Lina provides a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, which makes it hard to leave once your session is over. Her facial and neck massages are out of this world and they are something that I look forward to every visit.
Lina is truly amazing and she deserves to be recognized as one of the best!

Skin Essence gets results! This day spa is the best of any I have visited in the Triangle when it comes to caring for my skin. The owner Lina Yang takes a personal interest in you and recommends a personalized treatment regiment based on your skin's particular characteristics. In my case, her therapeutic facials have made my problem aging skin noticably softer and smoother, according to the complements I have received about her work...especially from my girlfriend!

I would highly recommend Lina to anyone and everyone. Of all the facials I have had she is by far the best. The sevice is excellent and Lina really knows what she is doing. My skin has improved a great deal since seeing Lina, she remembers her clients,and her recommendations are exact. I have grown to trust Lina over time and for me that's saying a lot. I can't see myself letting anyone else treat my skin other than her and I would have no reason to look for someone else.
Pros: Excellent service, knowledge, and skill

My face has a glow to it since I've been going to Lina. The lines around my eyes are much softer (and almost not existing)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am extremely happy with the results I get after I get my treatments from Lina.
Pros: Lina gives off such a positive energy so when I leave I feel it too!!!
Cons: I truely only have Pros (and no Cons)!!!

I would not allow any negative and specifically not a fair or true assesment of the work of art this truly talented professional can provide for each client she services effect your decision to vist her spa!
There will always be a person here and there that cannot find one thing they are pleased with and want to complain. I have been serviced by Lina for several years now. I am a smart and professional career woman on the go and smart enough to know if I am being taken advantage of...I NEVER HAVE BEEN WITH LINA!
Great skin care comes from the services Lina provides and most importantly in my opinion, the on-going maintenance of great skin care at home...which Lina suggests and provides!
It is just like when you go to a doctor...if you go, you are looking for advice and help in curing a problem. You would not second guess the advice would you? It is very similar when visiting a skin care expert, you go to get good sound advice and assistance on changing your skin issues.
I highly recommend Lina and Skin Essence to anyone that is serious about excellent skin care! Go see her today and her beautiful spa that is definately worth trip! She is located off Creedmoor Rd in North Raleigh, however, with 540...you can get there in no time from the entire TRIANGLE. GO...your skin will be the envy of your friends and family.
Two thumbs up! Lina is the best and remains the best spa in the Triangle! Lina will accomadate your schedule and make you feel great!~
Worth every cent and after all, doesn't it make sense to take care of yourself and do something for YOU?
Lina will work with your budget! Just talk to her about your needs and don't close the communication!
Pros: Lina truly cares about your satisfaction and doing what is best for your skin!~
Cons: NOT ONE...nothing! ALways a true professional willing to make the time to make my schedule work!

I came here because my oldest daughter was having so much so trouble with her acne . She is really good about cleaning her face and eating the right foods and drinking alot of water, but her face was always breaking out ,nothing was working. After 4 treatments her face is the best it has ever been! She is so happy. My other two daughters are also getting treatments. Lina has been great. I highly recommend her
Pros: individual attention, don't feel rushed

I just wanted to comment on the negative comment made by a couple of Lina's former clients. I have been coming to Lina since 2005. When I first started going to Line for my acne, I was skeptical and did know what to expect. She told me that I would have to come back every week for treatments, which equaled up to $150 to $200 dollars each. I was like hell I'm not rich and that was to much for me, but I continued to come because I wanted to have faith in her abilities because everything else had failed. I had to do the weekly treatments for almost 6 to 8 months. That was a lot of money. In Jan or Feb 2006, my face had cleared up completely and now I do monthly treatments. I have not had a major breakout since then. My face looks better than ever. (The before and after pictures are on her web site) I used only the medication that she gave me, I only let Lina do my facials, and I did not change my diet or exercise patterns. I paid a lot of money, but you get what you pay for. Now, I trust and have faith in her abilities because she showed me. I love you Lina. Thank you.
Pros: Private and more personal service
Cons: None

All my life I have struggled with trying to keep my skin looking healthy and clearing my acne. Some things would work briefly, but never lasted. That is until I met Lina who has tranformed my skin into looking healthier, vibrant and all around as a nicer glow since I started my microdermabrasion treatments. My acne has cleared and the dark spots from scars are starting to fade. Lina makes you feel right at home and lets you know how much she cares not only about your skin, but your health. I promise you, you will walk out of your first appointment feeling like a new person. Thanks Lina!

After trying many other aestheticians I finally found Lina who actually knows what she is doing. She has worked wonders on my skin and helped me get rid of my acne. The microdermabrasion and revitaligt treatments are great and I am finally happy with my skin. I would recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful skin. She is very knowledgeable and she really cares about her clients and how they feel!!

My doctor recommented me to see Lina at Skin Essence. I was impressed by her professional skills and her deep knowledge and understanding about skin care. For my first visit with lina, I felt connection and trust.
After first microdermabrasion treatment, my skin felt very smooth, fresh, and rejuvenated. my skin had a youthful appearance that lasted for a long time. my large clogged pores were no longer visible and pigmentation reduced greatly.
Not only does Lina give great treatments, she also taught me how to care for my skin and cleansing technics.
Skin essence has the best treatments, I've never been so happy with my skin.
Pros: inexpensive, very professional
Cons: None

4/29/07 After two years I want to update my review and let you know that Lina is still the best in the business, hands down. I always joke with my friends that if I ever win the lottery the first thing I would do is set up a weekly visit to Lina for the rest of my life. I leave her spa and feel renewed and relaxed. It is the best thing that you can do for yourself as a busy mom and working woman, you will be hooked too.
Saying that Lina is wonderful is an understatement. I have never found anyone who really makes you feel that you are her only client and that she truly cares about what she is doing and your results. I have been nothing short of amazed at the results (in just two treatments) from the microderm and revitalight. Even co-workers on commenting on how refreshed I look and that was after only one treatment. I am completely hooked on Lina and her services and would not go anywhere else.
Pros: excellent service, value for your money, Great owner
