I purchased a package for Post-Op massages. I have been helped by Jessica, Karen & Lesley. All of these women are helpful & amazing! The receptionist Crystal is very helpful too. They are all very nice. I have continually gone back to Lesley. She has a very strong technique & has been helping me transform my body. She is very funny & is the best person to book with, in my opinion. Lesley has magic hands & explains why she is massaging, using tools, etc. she even gives advice on how to keep up with myself at home. I very much appreciate the ladies, especially Lesley! She is honest and intentional with her work.

My results at 7 months post-op

I got a BBL back in December and have been coming to Esencia for all my post-op lymphatic drainage massages since I had surgery. While lymphatic drainage massages are not comfortable, I am soooo happy with my results, now at my 9 month post-op mark. I've gotten upper body lymphatic drainage massages, Colombian-made fajas, mesotherapy, and detox coffee scrubs from multiple of the girls who work here and they all are wonderful and comforting to work with. Yes, post-op aftercare is expensive - I've spent over $3.5k on massage packages, treatments, and fajas to date, but I love my results, I feel great, and I haven't had any fibrosis since probably 2 months post-op.

I was in such a need for a facial. With a newborn at home who has time to even wash their face. With such a limited availability, i reached out to see if I could get an appointment. I was able to get in and see Kathy. OMG I went in with such dull and lack luster skin. I came out like a new person!! I look well rested (although I'm not, who gets sleep with a 1 month old) and my skin looks so radiant! Thank you so much Kathy for working your magic on my skin. I'll be back once i get another little break from my kiddos.

Just got a wonderful and relaxing pampering session. It was a great experience. Came in last week to book a facial appointment. They told me Kathy would me my esthetician who will let me know the morning of appointment what would be best for my skin. Kathy was very pleasant, I normally get facials done but by far this has been the best. She assessed my skin and gave me her opinion on what would be best. I ended up getting a customized hydrating and anti aging facial with Vitamin C, an organic vegetable peel, derma-planing, Oxygen and Stem Cell mask with aromatherapy. Wow hope I got that right lol My skin feels and looks amazing. Will definitely come back. The spa is beautiful as well and extremely relaxing. Thank you Esencia, Kathy, and the wonderful very friendly staff. FYI they also do facials for men, will definitely be bringing my husband soon.

Ive been to this salon 2 times previous for body contouring and enjoyed it., so I figured I would book an appointment for a facial and see how it was and I am a business owner also so I was running late because someone showed up late to my business. I called to tell them I was running 20 minutes late and they were not able to accommodate me and can I reschedule? They told me they kept my $50 deposit because I was a no-show which I was not.. when they text me the night before asking me for a deposit there was nothing told or telling me that I would lose that if I was running late or I needed to reschedule? Just a little sad that they could not reschedule and to keep me as a regular customer some people can't afford to lose $50

Starting to get better but still painful

Really a burn from liposuction!!?? My stomach was perfectly fine before I went into the dome. Yes I had done the dome once before and my body was red but I was not burned. After I came out the dome my lower abdomen was already extremely red and had a rash which your employee acknowledged and commented on it. Of course only my abdomen was only burned because it was where I had my work done. I can't believe you're now trying to pass on liability to someone else. Your employees kept calling me after to check on me because this happened at your shop. I will be reporting you to the BBB and will be seeking legal action. I wasn't asking you to be reimbursed for my medical bills, I was just asking you for a refund ! Which I thought was more than fair.

I love it here!!! been coming here for my pre and post massages with Kathy and she is great she is very knowledgeable when it comes to surgeries she knows exactly what she is doing and customer service is A1. They also have such great fajas!!!

This has become my favorite spa! I feel welcomed as soon as I walk in, the vibe here is so relaxing. I've been coming here for body contour treatments with Jessica and loving my results. She works with my body to ultimately reach my goals.

From the moment I walked in, the space felt clean, calming, and very welcoming. It's not a huge, flashy spa, which I actually loved because it made the whole experience feel more personal and one on one. Felissha made me feel comfortable right away and took the time to really understand my skin concerns. The facial itself was incredibly thorough. It started with a deep cleanse and exfoliation, followed by extractions that Felissha did so carefully and more comfortably than I expected. What stood out the most was how customized everything felt. Nothing seemed rushed or generic. She really paid attention to what my skin needed and adjusted the treatment accordingly. The mask and finishing steps left my skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and noticeably brighter. I walked out with that clean, healthy glow, not just temporary shine, but skin that actually felt refreshed and balanced. Another thing I really appreciated was how knowledgeable Felissha is. She gave me helpful tips on how to take care of my skin between appointments, which made the experience feel even more worth it. Overall, if you're looking for a facial that delivers real results and not just relaxation, I highly recommend the SBV Custom Facial with Felissha. It's perfect for anyone dealing with breakouts, texture, or just wanting to improve their skin over time. I will definitely be coming back. P.S The next Day my skin felt amazing!

The office is impeccably maintained, beautifully appointed, and immediately instills a sense of comfort and confidence. I had a facial with Itzel, and it was among the most relaxing and rejuvenating treatments I've experienced. She is very knowledgeable, gentle, and attentive, taking the time to thoughtfully assess my skin and customize the treatment to its specific needs, without resorting to unnecessary or pushy upselling. My complexion felt deeply refreshed, radiant, and noticeably healthier afterward. I also received Botox from Angie, whose expertise, precision, and artistic eye inspired complete confidence. She listened carefully to my goals, explained every step of the process, and achieved beautifully natural results, softening fine lines while preserving expression and balance. Her technical skill and aesthetic judgment are noticeably outstanding. What truly distinguishes True Bella Medical Esthetics is its unwavering commitment to personalized care, clinical excellence, and genuine patient satisfaction. Every interaction reflected respectful professionalism, kindness, integrity, and meticulous attention to detail. After investing considerable time and money at numerous medical spas throughout LA & OC, discovering True Bella was genuinely refreshing. They have earned my trust and highest recommendation, and I look forward to returning for future treatments.

I must admit, it was the best decision ever! I had originally made a Botox appt and after reviewing my responses I got a call explaining how the Botox would not really make a difference on my wedding day and recommended another option for me. I thought that was great given that I'm VERY new to this facials and Botox stuff. Upon getting there the location is in a good visible spot and easy to park. The front desk girl was very pleasant and the office smelled nice and is very clean (HUGE plus). I was then greeted by Itzel. She was cheerful, knowledgeable, and I liked that she explained everything she was doing. For a first timer like myself who lacked beauty treatment knowledge, I felt Itzel did a great job at explaining step by step what was being done and what it was for. I also did the IV therapy. It was a 10/10! With the hours I work and the lack of sleep and nutrients this was an additional booster I needed. I felt energized and felt like it completed my day!

Their approach might help someone with the occasional pimple or mild acne, but they treat every case the same, regardless of severity. I paid $250 to start treatment and $57 per visit, only to find out later that my daughter actually needed antibiotics, something they don't provide. I wish I had asked more questions and researched their methods better beforehand. The staff working with patients are not licensed estheticians--they're just trained employees. One of them aggressively attempted to extract my daughter's acne, leaving her with scarring. I deeply regret bringing her here and wasting that money. Please take your child to a licensed dermatologist--someone qualified and properly trained to treat skin conditions safely.
