Their fake Botox is DEADLY!!!! This is no more than a black market for professional services.

How is this even legal? My friend had "Botox" done. It wasnt Botox at all. It is something they order from a Mexican pharmacy. Which has no regulations at all. Even you can order it. I dont even believe they had a one day training class. My friends eyes and forehead were temporarily paralyzed for months. Everything went back to normal except one of her eyes. Which looks like it droops down.

DO NOT EVER EVER put yourself at risk here. Think about what htey are putting in your face. Coming from Mexico with no regulations. Geessshhhh!!!!!!!! It is sad that people will do this for a dollar.

• Pros: There arent any!
• Cons: You take the risk of walking away looking like Droopy.

Weight Loss Drama

by Lkn4aprince at Citysearch

I too know 1st hand that this establishment is not honest & does things that are not legit.I would not EVER recommend them.The owner is very rude & from previous comments from other clients it sounds like she is still as crazy as ever.Word of mouth is the best reference you can recieve from anyone.And this business does not have a very reputable reputation.

They have given me hope

by Yunimori at Citysearch

I've been overweight my entire life, even with healthy diet and excercize from the time I was small, I've never been able to lose. I had about given up hope of ever feeling good about myself, and being able to maintain a healthy weight. But then my cousin began going to A New Image in Roan Mountain, and her results were AMAZING. She went from a size 22 to a size 8 in just over a year, and besides losing the weight, she became much healthier and happier.

My mum and I decided to try it out, thinking that even if we didn't lose very much, a little was better than nothing. This is our 4th week on the program of Phentermine and Lipovite/B-12 shots, and BOTH of us are feeling much better already. At last week's weigh-in, I had had lost 18 lbs. and my mum had lost 16 lbs. since we started. That is a very good feeling.

'm definitely recommending this place to my friends that are like me, and have been unable to lose weight through 'normal' means.

The staff are very friendly and competent, they do everything in their power to help you with both your weight loss and your self-image. Some of them may become actual friends ( I have a standing girl's-night-out date with one of the P.A.'s for when I've reached my goal weight and she's had her baby), and they are always willing to listen to your concerns and questions. The clinic itself is very careful to protect your privacy. The weigh-in scale is in the open, but the P.A. seeing you is always careful to shield both you and your weight from public view, even going so far as to hold open the sides of their labcoats for the shyer patients, so NO ONE can see.

Since the clinic in Roan Mountain is located behind and under the Post Office, parking can be an issue on some evenings, and sometimes finding a place to stand/sit in the waiting room can be a chore on Thursdays. The first exam is also a bit pricey, for someone on a low income, but after that it is fine.

• Pros: Friendly and professional staff, privacy is a main feature, willingness to listen, emotional support
• Cons: Parking sometimes, pricey at first, crowded on Thursdays (when you see the Dr.).
