Marin Skincare Client Testimonials

“*I was a beauty editor for the last decade in NYC at every big fashion magazine there is, so I've literally seen it all when it comes to big-name, fancy Plastic Surgeons. And, trust me, if Dr. Huang moved to NYC or LA and opened a practice, it would instantly be jammed with celebs and fashion types. She is passionate about skin care, very thorough, and incredibly good at what she does. Whether you want to get on an effective skin care regimen or just need a good, skin-brightening lactic acid peel, she is fantastic. She's right in our 'hood! I'd definitely check her out."

It was my first time meeting Dr. Huang, and I loved her! Dr. Huang took her time to really talk with me and find out my lifestyle and my current skin regime. Then a treatment. It felt great to get a nice peel to refresh my face from summer and a trip to Hawaii and I was helping out our schools. I am pleased with my results and look forward to my next treatment. Thanks, Dr. Huang! would also like to post that Dr Huang has very kindly donated the product described above in support of one of our local schools - Strawberry Point. Thanks Dr Huang! 

I recently saw Dr. Cheryl Huang. She is a certified Plastic Surgeon who is now specializing in women's skin care, "little tweaks' like peels, fillers, botox, and great skin care. You are taken care of by a real, well known doctor. She is passionate about women's issues and lacks that pushiness that so manyI am trying to put off anything drastic until I really need it. 

More support for Dr. Huang!! She is very knowledgeable about various skin treatments, and is cautious too. I really appreciated this as someone who was trying to conceive and did not want harm to come to my unborn baby. Also, for women of color, Dr. Huang understands how our skin may react to treatments differently. She made me aware of this, whereas my previous doctor had no clue.

I recommend starting with a peel (Marin Aesthetica - Dr. Huang does a fabulous one) so your skin is in the best shape. It has made a difference in about 3 weeks. I recently went to see Dr. Cheryl Huang and thought she was very professional and personable. I'm very happy with the program she has set for me. She has had so many recommendations. Call Cheryl Huang - she's a plastic surgeon and a great local resource.

I don't know if you've read my rave about Dr. Cheryl Huang, but I'm going to re-rave. As a plastic surgeon, she is extremely qualified with over 20 years experience. I have worked with her on fixing flaws on my face. She has been outstanding to work with: caring, extremely informative, and even more patient. The results are incredible. Her focus is on mommies, and she believes that self esteem is so important to us hardworking moms. She has a gentle bedside manner and can help you! Again, I HIGHLY recommend her!!

I am trying to put off anything drastic until I really need it. My go-to person is Dr. Cheryl Huang. I have been seeing her for over a year now and have never received so many compliments about how good my skin looks and how young I am looking. We are just doing facials, a bit of Botox and some fillers. It is so important to take good care of your skin. Cheryl keeps me glowing.

Fellow SMMC mom Dr. Cheryl Huang in Greenbrae always gets a lot of recommendations. I see her as well and agree she is wonderful. She is personable, very knowledgeable and carries a great paraben-free skincare line. She has also been very accommodating when I have had to bring one of my kids with me.

She's been recommended on the board a few times, but I really suggest meeting with Dr. Cheryl Huang at marin asethetica. I have just recently started using botox (at 42) and Cheryl has a very soft touch and conservative approach.

Go talk to fellow mom Cheryl Huang so specializes in non invasive procedures. Could be a great cream or treatment she could suggest, instead of surgery . She is honest and will tell you the best options for you.

Dr. Cheryl Huang, an SMMC member and mother of two, is a great source of advice about looking good. You can talk to Cheryl like a good friend.

I would recommend Dr. Cheryl Huang of Marin Aesthetica in Greenbrae. She is very good, trustworthy, and takes a very conservative approach to skincare.

I second Dr. Cheryl Huang. She is very professional, incredibly friendly, passionate in her work, listens carefully and is very precise in her technique.

Dr. Cheryl Huang in Greenbrae is a fellow SMMC mom and offers many great services for aging skin, including botox, peels, etc. She is great.

"I second Cheryl! She's more about subtlety and restraint when it comes to procedures, not overdoing it. It's an art form. She just gets it (oh and she's really nice and approachable)." *

" I third Cheryl. She specializes in women's "issues." You will love, love, love her!!!!!"

"I am happy to share my thoughts with the group as I have been amazed at the difference in my skin since coming to see Dr. Huang. Amazingly, I had NO ill skin effects from coming off of the Pill a month ago. I was really worried about that since I always (and only) break out for hormonal reasons, but it must be because I am on such a great skin care plan. Thanks again!"

"I second the recommendation for Dr. Huang! I've had two wonderful skincare treatments with her recently and I can really see the difference. I'm also using the products that she recommended and after about a month the results are significant. I've used many products in the past and can honestly say that the products have resulted in the most visible difference that I've seen. Dr. Huang is just terrific - she understands being a mom and really wants you to feel good about yourself by making the most of what you have to work with. I've been telling all of my friends who notice my skin lately about Cheryl and want to spread the word - she's just a lovely person who can help you with great skin results."

Hands down I would recommend Dr.Cheryl Huang of Marin Asthetica. If you are looking for a warm office and caring people you will be more than pleased. She has called me at home after treatments to see how it was going. My visits have been wonderful. She takes the time to find out what my goals are and worked on a regimen with me that will get me there. Everything is one on one with her. I have never felt like I was on an assembly line like in other offices.

"I second the recommendation fo Dr. Cheryl Huang. She is very good, trustworthy, and takes a very conservative approach to skincare, fillers, botox, etc.. You get the attention and advice from a highly skilled, Stanford/Columbia/UCLA- Plastic Surgeon at an affordable price

"Ditto on the recommendation of Dr. Cheryl Huang. She is a plastic surgeon, and definitely has the whole package. She specializes in women's issues, and really truly cares. You can't go wrong with her. Highly recommend her."

"I suppose I'm somewhat like Joan Rivers where I am not afraid to admit the work I've had done on my face, but I don't care. I would like to tell you about the awesome job my plastic surgeon, Dr. Cheryl Huang, one of RVMC's very own, has done for me. I have extremely difficult skin. I wonder who I pissed off in my past for giving me wrinkles, acne, and hyper-pigmentation all at the same time! Not to mention 42 year old and post-baby skin, too. When Cheryl said she could help me fix my problems, I was skeptical. I'd had two dermatologists tell me there was nothing I could do. ever, about my hyper-pigmentation! Cheryl specializes in women's issues, especially related to postpartum issues. When I left her office the first time, I had skin as smooth as a baby's butt. My skin looks radiant! I expect that I only need one more and I'll be good to go That's awesome.I also bought her skin care product line, which is only available through a doctor. I love it! It's gentle and doesn't sting, hurt, or stink really bad.  You can literally feel the dead skin ball up on your hands and see it fall into the sink.   know I shouldn't be so self-conscious about my face, but I can't help it. I feel like I have more self-esteem because I'm not embarrassed about the huge dark spots covering my face. I really don't want this to sound like an ad, because it's not. I am just so grateful to Cheryl for helping me feel more confident about my skin. 

"I also agree with the above posters. I just saw her Friday  which really freshened up my skin, not to mention my "baby blues."

I have to say, I definitely hit the jackpot by finding you, Cheryl. It's hard to express in words how truly graeful I am for having a doctor who is not only so skilled and intelligent, but one who emotionally connects, understands, and is so very caring. I can't wait to share my new face with you when I return from vacation !

"I can only echo some of the above sentiments - about what a caring doctor Cheryl is, how great I felt and looked after treatment, and how glad I am that her practice is now open here instead of in L.A. Just look at her own skin which is PERFECT and you will want to do everything she tells you about taking care of your skin. She is like an esthetician, dermatologist, and plastic surgeon all rolled up into an incredibly professional, yet "mom like the rest of us" doctor."

"I have to add some more great praise to Cheryl Huang. Cheryl just did a procedure this past saturday on my husbands face. My husband was in a road bike accident over a year ago. He had some of the road stuck in the scars on his face. It looked like lines of Tattoos. I called Cheryl right before she opened her practice to see if she could help. She went out of our her way to come to our house to see my husbands face. Who does that???? She explained what the options which were clear and precise. She did an amazing job! And my husband came back and said how competent she is. We are very grateful. We too would highly recommend her."

I just saw Dr. Huang for the first time yesterday for some Botox. I found out about her through SMMC. I wanted to spread the word on how wonderful she is! She is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has such a friendly and caring bedside manner. She was so pleasant, personable and spent a great deal of time with me discussing my concerns and interests. I was interested in softening the aging process without having to do anything surgical. She does peels, fillers, botox, and more. She is great for accommodating work schedules and busy moms. I found her pricing very reasonable and would highly recommend her services.

Dr Huang in Greenbrae offers many great services for aging skin, including botox, peels, etc....She is great.-

I second Dr. Cheryl Huang. Nice to be treated as a mom by a mom.

I third Dr. Cheryl Huang. I am beyond impressed with her not to mention her impeccable credentials. She knows what she's doing and really cares. I am a huge fan.

Dr. Cheryl Huang of Marin Aesthetica. My skin has not looked or felt so good in years.

Another for Cheryl Huang. I couldn't be happier with the results.

I've always had good skin but it was looking very dry. I went to Dr. Huang who recommended a lactic acid peel (fantastic!). I am 45 and my skin has not looked or felt this good in years. I highly recommend the range and Dr. Huang too!

I am also super happy. Dr. Huang prescribed a line for my hormonal breakouts coupled with one of her peels had my skin cleared up in 1 week. I can't believe how good my skin looks/feels. It is like having my pre-children skin back. I would highly recommend Dr. Huang. She's been recommended on the board. I really suggest meeting with Cheryl Huang at Marin Aesthetica. I have just recently started using botox at 42) and Cheryl has a very soft touch and conservative approach. 

If it happened to me I wouldn't hesitate to call Cheryl Huang.

I know that Dr. Cheryl Huang of Marin Aesthetica does ear piercing. You will get it done right in a sterile environment. She's great!

Dr. Huang is fantastic and her office is kid-friendly.

Ditto on Dr. Huang. She is really passionate and is in it for you!

Cheryl Huang, MD is the perfect person to round out your updated beauty routine. She is located in Greenbrae, is a very concerned and careful practitioner, and will bring out the best of you with her skills, lotions and potions. Her treatments take effect quickly and painlessly; after a couple sessions you will be totally hooked!

I, too, feel compelled to chime in for Dr. Huang! She is beyond lovely and ultra professional. She has a light hand and I am so happy with my new skin care routine . 

Highly recommend Dr. Huang for any face skin care treatment. I've rarely felt so respected and heard by a doctor. Her expertise is in minor surgery, botox, and fillers. She listened attentively to my issues and took into consideration my needs to keep any treatment simple and natural. I am really pleased with the look of my skin after a quick peel and using the home skincare products. My skin looks clearer, brighter, and my freckles/agespots have faded. She is totally understanding and accommodating. Dr. Huang allowed my 2 year old son to come and even provided him with toys to play with in her office. It was an all around pleasure to work with Dr. Huang. I can't recommend her enough!

I second that recommendation. Dr. Huang is actually a board certified plastic surgeon who is concentrating on skin care vs. surgery. She is extremely well trained, well practiced, knowledgeable, and extremely attentive. If you're interested in a healthy, natural look then Dr. Huang is the doctor to see. You couldn't be in better hands and couldn't meet a nicer person.

I love Cheryl Huang. She's smart, local.

For less than the price of my creams. I had few Botox injections by Dr. Huang. In a few days, the wrinkles were gone! I look like me, just younger and more refreshed.

Dr. Cheryl Huang for sure! She will make you look great and her fees are reasonable. Love Cheryl Huang at marinaesthetica.com. If you look her up in our archives you'll find positive feedback. She's a highly-skilled Plastic Surgeon and specializes in minimally invasive treatments. It's great to be able to work directly with such a skilled doctor .
