Desiree is a true artist of her craft- I have been seeing her for over 2 years and trust her with any service I receive. Her space is beautifully designed and calming, with tons of amazing natural products. I especially feel safe with her as she is a Nurse with deep knowledge of well-aging. My less than stellar past experience with a service left me apprehensive to do it again, but I have regained confidence after seeing Desiree. She is kind, attentive, and patient- thoroughly explaining what to expect during a procedure and answering any questions. She walks you through step by step and her methods for reducing pain are very effective. As a trans person, working with her is very affirming- she understands the nuance in my aesthetic goals. My face has never looked better since I started seeing Desiree. I have referred several friends to her, they were just as impressed and pleased as me! read more

Desiree is amazing! It was my first time doing anything to my face and not gonna lie, I was a little anxious. Everything went perfectly! I can't believe how natural my lips look and how painless the whole process was. My upper lip was non existing, like AT ALL. Desiree did magic! I can't wait to come back and do more things with her. read more

FACE - New lips a day after procedure - Medical Spas Near Me - Oakland, California

I've been a beauty professional for 25 years and I'm very discerning about other beauty professionals. I found Desiree after researching for hours on end for the right fit that met all my high standards. Desiree has definitely impressed me. Not only her credentials are top notch, her knowledge about skin in outstanding, and her artistic mind makes her a rare find. This trifecta of qualities put Desiree in a category of her own. She follows procedures like a doctor, explains everything like a professor, and works on you like a true artist. I also love the fact that she empowers each client by highlighting the natural beauty and only suggest treatments that will be beneficial to enhance that beauty. She's never pushy and it's always honest with her assessments. I feel like I've truly found an ally and supporter, guiding me into aging gracefully, confidently and beautifully. Thanks for making me look 10 yrs younger! read more

Desiree was very thoughtful, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the hyaluronic acid gel process! She made sure I was well-informed about before/aftercare tips, as well as the difference between the hyaluron pen versus filler. Desiree clearly stated what each step of the appointment entailed, ensuring I was aware of and feeling comfortable with what would happen next. Excited to go back in the future! read more

Desiree is an artist! Her space is a beautiful healing oasis and so clean. I had my first round of hyaluronic acid gel to help balance out my lips. She was super thorough with answering my questions and very tentative throughout my entire service! I'm so excited to go back for round two. read more

Desiree is the QUEEN of patience, listening, and making you feel beautiful and safe. I have always disliked my profile and Desiree helped me achieve a level of confidence today i never thought I'd reach. We did subtle changes to my nose bridge, lips, and jawline, and I think they are just amazing. I can't wait to come back :) read more

FACE - Hyaluronic Acid Pen on nose bridge, lips, and jawline - Medical Spas Near Me - Oakland, California

I'm 31. I have the natural collagen production of Benjamin Franklin. Genetics, fortunately, are no match for Des and her fibroblast system. I am not exaggerating when I say I look like I just had a full face and next lift? Where are my crows feet and nasolabial lines and the lack of elasticity on my jawline that used to make me cry? Who is the collagen goddess in this photo and why is she so young and hot? Oh did I mention my eyes were completely hooded before? Isn't this f'in crazy?! Buy the LED light and the ProCell MD system too (you can't find the ProCell MD system online by the way). read more

FACE - A week post fibroblast - Medical Spas Near Me - Oakland, California

I recently had the opportunity to try NeuroOptimal through FACE. I used it consistently every day for 3 weeks and was able to identify some noticeable changes. I initially tried it since I was feeling stuck in not being able to engage in a regular exercise practice and was hoping it would give me the bandwidth to break through the stuck-ness i was experiencing. I was surprised that it actually worked for what i had intended it to support me with. There was also a secondary gain that I was not expecting but was both surprised and pleased to discover - I have been struggling with IBS for many years and being proactive with doctors to try and get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan which has proven difficult. While it seems that NeuroOptimal helped me motivate to get into a regular exercise practice again it also seemed to have recalibrated and settled my GI issues. I also went ahead and got another panel of bloodwork done and all of the markers that were on the high end requiring intervention had decreased significantly. With that said, I highly recommend trying this tool with regularity and am hoping you can benefit from it as I have. Thank you Desiree! read more

I recently saw Desiree for an anti-aging treatment for my neck. She came very highly recommended from a good friend, and after doing more research, I realized she would be my best bet to start my anti-aging journey. Desiree and I had a lovely chat during our phone consultation, during which she patiently and knowledgeably answered my first-time quesitons. She recommended Procell Microchanneling as a first treatment. When I arrived for my appointment, she was warm, friendly, and kind, and spent time answering additional questions and making sure I was comfortable. The treatment was painless with minimal recovery (less than 24 hours), and I could not be happier with the experience! I highly recommend Face and Desiree-you will be in good hands! I will definitely be back and Desiree will be my partner in this journey going forward. read more

OMG! I cannot believe how amazing this Fibroblast treatment is! After consulting with Desiree', we decided to treat my droopy eyelids and under eye bags. She explained everything as she did it and was very gentle. There was minimal discomfort, no cutting or blood, no time off work and only slight swelling. I saw an immediate difference. My crepy lids and under eye bags are gone! The Fibroblasted "dots" will fall off in a few days. In about 8 weeks I'll see the final result and I'll post more photos. I'll absolutely be doing more treatments to tighten and erase wrinkles. I'm glad to put my FACE in the hands of an artist! read more

I recently saw Desiree for a plasma pen patch text. When I arrived at her beautiful space I was warmly greeted and immediately felt comfortable and welcome. Desiree did well to thoroughly explain the procedure and after care process. I appreciated her realistic estimate of the results I should achieve. I can't wait to schedule the full procedure! read more

Desiree is lovely to work with. She gives honest recommendations and I love the concept of "well-aging" rather than "anti-aging" that she promotes. read more

I went to Desiree about a month ago to get both Cryoslimming on the sides of my stomach and Fibroblast on my nose. It was my first time trying both treatments and Desiree instantly made me feel comfortable and informed. She described the treatment and after care in detail before starting and answered all my questions. She is very skilled and knowledgeable and provides a relaxing environment to get your treatment. I am so happy with both treatments. What used to be pinchable fat on my sides has been reduced so much. I'm going back soon to get the front of my stomach done well since I was so happy with the results! The fibroblast treatment was amazing too, my nose looks slimmer and my pores/acne scars from the treated area have been reduced. I would highly recommend Desiree and I will definitely be going back to see her! read more

Desiree is amazing! She is very knowledgeable, and has a very calm presence. She explained everything thoroughly, didn't try to over sell me, and offers quality products and services. Her space is beautiful and relaxing too! I originally thought I would do the Fibroblast, but she guided me to the Procell Microchanelling. I've had two services so far and have a few more scheduled. Since even the first service, my face feels so much better and I don't feel like I have to wear as much make up. So in love! read more

After carful research I stumbled across Desire's page! And I'm so happy I did! She's supper personable and very easy to talk to! I was considering surgery until I saw the results in her gallery on plasma fibroblast. I was in complete shock in the before's and Afters and knew that this was something that would work for me. After speaking with her she had let me know that I could come in and that she would see if I was a good candidate for this and turns out I was... if you're on the fence no need to be this is some thing that will drastically change your confidence and whatever it is you're considering having done! I would definitely recommend and refer her! read more

Wow Desiree is just amazing. I came here to try out the micro-channeling for my face and it was my first time. The process was wayyyy more relaxing than I ever thought it would be. Super excited to come back next month for my next appointment. Strongly recommend her services. read more

Desiree (Founder of FACE) is not only a professional to call when you want to enhance your natural beauty or seek advice, but she is also a FRIEND! I have been frequenting FACE Oakland for years now, and I even try to catch Desiree for her services when she is in Southern California. Her expertise, patience, and diligence are uncanny. She cares about what you want, and makes it happen! Don't hesitate :) read more

Had the opportunity to finally get a session in for cryoskin slimming. Desiree was extremely informative and welcoming. Her spa is so clean and calming. She was very professional and at the same time Made me feel very comfortable in her space. I will be seeing her again for my second session in weeks, cannot wait.. Overall a great experience. read more

Desiree did such an amazing job and I couldn't be happier. She talked me through the process of the hyaluron pen as well as stopping throughout and checking in with me about her next steps and to make sure I was happy. After having fillers for years in the UK and moving across the pond, I wanted someoneat the top of their game and whom I could trust. Definitely found this with Desiree, would recommend her to anyone! read more

I love the time I spend at FACE, Desiree is such an amazing women. We have been working on my booty using the cryo slimming and toning. My booty looks fabulous I'm in love with my new shape and lift. I also had an uneven shape, cellulite, and dimples I was unhappy with, I'm excited to say that my cellulite is not as visible, I have about 4 more sessions with Desiree I'm most certain by the end of my BBL treatment my shape will be Banging, more even and visibly smooth. Her space has the perfect touch of color, it's also organized and has an amazing view I'm in love with how warm and inviting it is. FACE is right across from BART awwwesome!!! So happy to have been Blessed by Desiree Thank You!!! read more

I cannot emphasize how much I appreciate and trust Desiree! I've been a customer for over a year now. It was immediately clear to me that she knows her stuff! She recommended a different service for me than the one I initially wanted because of the area and difficulty for healing. She gives you more than enough information so you can be empowered to make decisions that are in your own best interest. Great customer service, great communication, very genuine, beautiful and clean work space, and amazing personality! I will continue to be a customer. read more

Where do I begin? Desiree is a wizard! She made me feel so comfortable with my service and she really knows what she is doing. The space is tidy and clean with someone for everyone (parking has been easy too.) I had a cryoslimming treatment followed by a cryotone the next week and I can see great results from one session. I plan to go back to her for more. I like that she takes the time to get to know you and the goals that you want to achieve. read more

Desiree is amazing! I met her for a consultation on fibroblasting and she took great time to educate me on the procedure. She thought I would be a good candidate and did a test patch on the area that I was thinking of doing. I had positive results and decided to book an appointment for both upper and lower lids. Just as she noted, my eyes were very swollen the next day, and the dots took about 8-9 days to fall off. The results were noticeable right away, and continued to improve over the course of 3 months. I would recommend Desiree to everyone! She is so kind & talented! read more

Desiree is absolutely amazing, she did such a great job and has great energy! it was my first time doing anything cosmetic and she made me feel so comfortable! read more

I had done my research on Fibroblast, but was still apprehensive. There is always the fear anytime you have a procedure done especially on your face. Desiree put me at ease. She is very knowledgeable and patient. She explained the procedure in detail and answered all my questions. I had fibroblast on my upper and lower lids and I am pleased with the results. Desiree is amazing! read more

Was not surprised at all to see that Desiree's reviews are all 5 star as she is amazing!! I had 2 mesotherapy treatments with her that both showed wonderful results. She was attentive during the whole process and adjusted based on my feedback. She's also very knowledgeable and answered all of my many questions. My skin is prone to acne and I have noticed heals much faster and scars less after these treatments. Would recommend her for any treatments. Look forward to seeing her again soon! read more

I love everything about this place. Desiree is such a warm, friendly person that made me feel super comfortable even while discussing my imperfections. I feel like she is knowledgable and realistic in goal setting. And has led down a path that makes me feel confident. We are currently doing the cryoskin Brazilian butt lift and I just had a cryofacial as well. With both I have seen results immediately. I saw an old colleague right after the facial and she asked me if I had botox. Her space is also really warm and well lit with a big window overlooking the neighborhood. I highly recommend Desiree if you want to look better without doing intense surgery or pumping your body full of weird junk. 5 starts for the space, the results and Desiree's excellent care. read more

Desiree is so patient and a great listener. She explained the pros and cons of each type of procedure, the number of sessions, and the cost. She wasn't just selling me on her services. She realistically described the results and I truly appreciated knowing what to expect, how long it will take and how long it will take before I see results. I didn't know! I am ready to move forward with her treatments. read more

Desiree is endlessly helpful and informative. She's super sweet and really talented. I was hesitant to get injections because I was worried about looking natural. I feel like her art training helped her to balance my face and she kept it super light and natural. I got so many compliments about how I looked and no one had any idea. read more

Desiree was very up front with informing me about the treatment. I encourage anyone considering this to do your research. I spent a long day with Desiree as I had jowl lines, nasolabial folds, neck tightening and a lip lift. She put me at ease and I felt like she was concerned with my comfort. I had tiny dot/scabs for a week I looked like a total freak. I was pretty red for another week, then the redness started to subside. Before the treatment makeup wasn't working after the treatment I hardly need makeup. Now, I just wear undereye concealer and eye make up. My skin is brighter etc. I see the most difference is in my nasolabial folds and lip lift. The only thing that I would change is I wouldn't have my entire face done at one time but I would for sure do it again. It took 10 years off my face. I highly recommend Faces by Desiree. It's reasonably priced and totally worth it. read more

I am so thrilled to have found Desiree. Her consultation was solely driven by the need and assessment of my skin. She is thorough, confident, friendly, knowledgeable, and meticulous. My initial consultation was met with great intrepidation; she was patient and responded to my numerous questions without becoming frustrated. Her goal during my consultation was to ensure that I made an informed decision about my treatment plan and that I selected what was best and not what I thought. Desiree's goal is to deliver high quality service with optimal outcomes. I am looking forward to my scheduled appointment with great anticipation! read more

This review is for fibroblast for a drooping eyelid. Although I'm only3 days after treatment and can't gauge the results, this review is for Desiree and her space. The space is very convenient and close to public transportation. Located in a super-cool container installation with a lush, green interior courtyard oasis. The space is light, bright, modern and clean. Desiree is very friendly and personable. Even before the appointment was scheduled we were in contact to make sure I was a good candidate for the treatment and that I had done my homework. Her website is very comprehensive and explains pre and post treatment care and expectations. At the appointment we spent a long time talking through the treatment and expectations. The treatment itself was exactly as explained No surprises. Desiree has made herself accessible via text to ensure that as the treatment progresses I can share pictures and questions. Now, I wait to see the results! I'm adding to my original review. I'm 3 months post procedure and as Desiree promised, I'm starting to really see results. My heavy lids are much tighter and lifted, the crepe-like skin is much improved. I might have to go back for one more procedure to really get the wide-open eye look. I'm also thinking about my jaw, neck, eye trough, eyebrow lift.... read more

I am beyond thrilled with the results of my first fibroblast treatment! I had deep-set wrinkles around my eyes that are now virtually nonexistent. I also had very loose, droopy eyelid skin that has tightened dramatically. I can now wear winged eyeliner and my lids no longer get caught in the eyelash curler! I feel like this treatment took so many years off of my face. Desiree is a highly skilled artist with a gentle yet precise touch. She was amazing before, during and after the procedure--guiding me along every step of the way. I cannot recommend Face by Desiree enough! read more

Desiree is AMAZING! I went to her for Hyluron Pen injections and I am blown away by the results. I had restylane filler injections (regular needle) done at a plastic surgeons office in the beginning of 2019. Those injections took 3 sessions, 4 mL's total and cost me about $3400 total. Desiree was able to treat the same 3 areas - my nose, tear troughs and lips with 1ml for a tiny fraction of the price and my results are better. My nose came out looking way better than it did with the restylane injections. My nose has deviations that aren't easy to make look symmetrical and Desiree did such a great job at getting it to look straight. I'm already looking forward to scheduling a second appointment to add another mL to other areas of my face. Desiree is a brilliant artist, she's nice, and she makes you feel extremely comfortable. Her space is really cute and easy to get to on Bart or driving. I highly recommend that you try her out if you're considering any of her procedures. read more

Desiree is so talented! I went in for the hyaluron pen treatment on my lips and am so thrilled with the results!!!She is so professional and personable not to mention the space is so cute. read more

Desiree is wonderful to work with. Her studio is warm and welcoming, and she really takes the time to get to know each individual client's needs and goals for the services she does. She has a great ability to talk honestly and openly about a person's appearance while being super body positive and encouraging. I've been seeing her for Cryoslimming and toning services and I plan on going back to add another body zone because I'm so happy with her and with my results. 100% worth it to work with her and I absolutely recommend her!!! read more
