Reviews and Testimonials from Real Patients

I love this Place the Doctor is always so kind and honest and knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain everything before it’s done. I have moved away from the area and l still go back to Nuvela. Dr. D is the only doctor l trust with my face.

As a result of radical cancer surgeries, I was left with horrible purple discoloration on scar tissue on my neck – very visible. I always wore turtlenecks or blouses buttoned at the neck. I timidly went to see Dr. Dishakjian to see if he could help. I am very reticent about anyone touching my neck at all-ever! Dr. Dish performed his magic on my neck and now there is NO discoloration and I can wear open necks again. You can’t imagine how this has changed my life. Dr. Dishakjian is very particular about his work-as an artist would be. His results speak for themselves. If you have any hesitation, please take the time to make an appointment for a free consultation (by the way, there is never any sales pressure). You’ll never know how happy you can be unless you check it out. I’m so glad I did and only wish I had been brave enough years ago.

Dr. Raffi is the best ~ my mom and I have been going to him for years!! I’ve never had a more caring professional doctor. He also knows anatomy like no one else. Dr. Raffi recently did my filler and Botox® and made me gorgeous for my upcoming wedding. My skin looks like it did when I was 20, and I had no scarring, needle holes or bruising. The swelling was super minimal. And on top of that, his rates are unbelievable. Don’t hesitate, just go, you won’t regret it!!

I have been in many centers, and not one has had the friendly and professional atmosphere as Dr. D’s place. This was important to me being a heterosexual male that’s very much into himself. I was embarrassed to go and see Dr. D at first, but his staff made me feel comfortable and “like family.” Dr. D is very “anal” and a perfectionist, which is a major plus because the work that he does is superb and he always gives it his best. He’s not happy if you’re not happy, and I’m very difficult to please. Thanks Dr. D. You and your STAFF are the Best!.

As a mom, I used to put everyone else’s needs above my own. I was developing wrinkles on my face, my frown lines gave me an angry look, and my varicose veins had made me self-conscious about my legs. Surgery was not an option for me. Then, two years ago when I was visiting my parents in Los Angeles, a friend of mine insisted we swim in their private swimming pool. Having seen my legs, she was surprised I hadn’t taken care of them, and recommended a clinic where her mother was treated with a non-surgical technique. She said she sees the same doctor for cosmetic procedures.

Having realized my friend looked more beautiful than ever, I decided it was time I do something about my appearance too, and asked her to set up an appointment, not knowing what to expect. The clinic was Nu Vela. Right from the beginning, I was welcomed by Angela, who is so caring and sweet and Dr. Dishakjian seemed like an old friend, and not some intimidating doctor. My visit to this clinic changed everything about the way I understood getting Botox®, vein treatment, or cosmetic surgery. Since then, I have been a loyal client of Nu Vela.

I cannot say enough about the wonderful results I have had with my leg veins or my face from the Center. Dr. Dishakjian is a very knowledgeable doctor and always intently listens to my requests and makes me feel very secure. Most procedures I had, including foam sclerotherapy for my leg veins, were almost pain free. As to facial treatments, Dr. Dishakjian studies your face in the way an artist would look at a painting. Thanks to Dr. R. Dishakjian, I feel I can now age gracefully and contentedly. Since my visit to this clinic, my husband keeps telling me how great I look and I feel a boost of confidence from viewing my appearance in the mirror.
As a final note, I suggest Mr. KB E reads about the credentials of Dr.Dishakjian by visiting the sites of American College of Phlebology and American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and perhaps pay a visit to the center to watch the happy faces of women leaving the clinic. I am sure Angela will welcome him.

First of all, the location of the office is in a beautiful area by the mountains in Porter Ranch. As you open the door it smells so good, such a positive energy just hits u in the face. I really have to say that it’s truly a beauty of an office. Everything about that place is so welcoming and comfortable and clean. What I love about Dr. D is that he is so gentle, honest and very knowledgeable about all procedures that he performs. Dr.D cares about his patients.

I first went to Nu Vela for an IPL facial to rid myself of the brown spots appearing on my California face. A week later, people were giving me all kinds of compliments. I then had a huge bulging vein running down my calf that I had for years. After treatment, which consisted of a laser probe inserted thru the vein, it is completely gone! Dr. D has also “freshened” up my worry lines and sagging cheeks with Sculptra. It looks wonderful and natural. I will be returning to Nu Vela for my unsightly spider veins and another IPL. Jessica, receptionist, is pleasant and helpful!!

Dr D is great. Really gentle, made me feel really safe and comfortable the whole time. This really is a high-quality place and I got great results. I’ve heard horror stories about laser hair removal procedures, but I think Dr D really does a good job at making sure you get good results and still stay safe.

Procedures done:
– all-over laser hair removal (Brazilian, legs, underarm, etc)

This place is top notch. The facility is nice and clean. The receptionist is always friendly (Jessica). Parking is free. Dr. D is nice, knowledgeable, and very up front about what to expect and what procedures are right for you. I’ve been going to this place for a couple of years and have been getting fillers such as radiesse (cheeks, nasiolabial folds) and juvederm (lips). I was petrified of looking mutated or having a vein hit, but Dr. D does an amazing job. It looks so natural and he never over fills. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a doctor who knows how to properly fill areas of concern. I’ve also had Botox® for my frown lines, and I love the results. I can still make angry faces if I want, I just don’t look angry all the time now. My only complaint is that this place is a little pricey. (But they take care credit, thank heavens!) I wish they would do promotions for the fillers. Then, they’d really be hitting it out of the ball park.

It has been over 10 years since I first met Dr. D. Professional, courteous, and with the very much needed “artist eye,” Dr. D. was the first that introduced me to Botox® therapy for my excruciating migraines. I had various procedures performed by Dr. D. (10 years is a long time in a woman’s facial geography) from the above mentioned Botox® to sclerotheraphy on both legs, fillers, laser peeling, and will be back for more.
