I always love coming to Facile, located in The Commons, a cute area in Pasadena next to restaurants and shops, is one of the best spa experiences I've ever had. They offer a range of treatments including facial cosmetics and top notch facials. Everyone that works there is professional and excellent at the service they provide. The store itself is clean and modern, and has a calm vibe that's always kept immaculately clean. I've had the privilege of esthetician, Jenna do a few facials and skin treatments for me this year. Not only is she very knowledgeable about different skin concerns, and facial products, so goes into each facial with care and intention. She goes above and beyond to make the experience feel special from start to finish. From cleaning the face, to a gentle touch extraction, applying a hydrating and calming masks, using only top of the line products. My favorite add on's are the diamond glow, derma-planing and red light. Jenna efficiently provides these add ons for the best results within the facial time. She also has a skilled touch with the face, neck and shoulder massage. Leaving after her facial, you'll not only feel pampered and relaxed, but also loving the results. Each time afterwards my skin is super smooth, glowy and my pores and dullness diminish. It is a real treat / self care expense that is highly worth it. I highly recommend Jenna to do your next facial at Facile for the best possible experience and results. Also check her out on IG if you're curious! @esthie.Spinelli read more

I've been going to Xochi for a few years now, and she is truly a gem. She's incredibly skilled as an injector, but what I appreciate most is her honesty. She'll always guide you toward what's best rather than overdoing anything. She's also so warm and friendly, which makes every visit such a comfortable experience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone you can genuinely trust with your aesthetic care. read more

Xochitl is incredible - I trust her so much. As a healthcare professional myself, I really appreciate how honest she is and that she genuinely wants what's best for her patients/clients rather than trying to upsell treatments you don't need. You can tell she cares. She's also unbelievably responsive. I've messaged her on social media asking for recommendations on different skincare products, and she somehow always takes the time to reply. She's knowledgeable, down-to-earth, kind, and makes you feel completely comfortable. read more

Where do I even begin? Xochitl is INCREDIBLE. I'm extremely scared of needles but had been noticing a major lack of substance under my eyes. They were looking extremely hollow, and it was getting to be a major insecurity of mine. I had seen work that Xochitl had done on others and so I reached out to have a consult. She LISTENED when I spoke and patiently educated me on layers of the skin, muscle loss etc. I cannot stress to everyone reading this how scared I am of needles, but Xochitl made me feel relaxed and comfortable. She suggested filler in the upper part of my cheeks. She said it would really help with the issues I was experiencing. She numbed me up and talked me through the entire thing. She gave me a squeeze ball and a pen that would vibrate to help distract me and got to work quickly. Within minutes she was done. I was shocked. Now let's talk about the results! 24 hours later I was at a concert with my husband. I cannot stress how many random compliments I got from strangers. It was actually bizarre. Was it Xochitl's magic? My newfound confidence due to my insecurity being gone? I'd say BOTH. It was the first time I took a picture of myself and didn't have to retouch under my eyes. (Not me holding back tears as I write this) I swear she shaved 5+ years off of my face. I've sent her multiple messages thanking her but had to make this as public as humanly possible so that everyone can experience her expertise and kindness. There truly is NO ONE BETTER. Before and After pics! (After pic was the day after and you can see I didn't even bruise) read more

Been coming to Gabriella at Facile for over 6 years! I was SO nervous to get Botox for the first time, and I'm so happy to work with her. I see her 2x a year for botox + lasers. Always a natural approach, she really takes the time to get to know you, your face, your lifestyle, EVERYTHING. She truly takes a holistic view to the face which I really appreciate. Never pushes anything and encourages great skincare and treatments for maintenance and true long-term great skin. I love that she tells me no - it makes me really trust her so much more. A yes person for your face is a huge red flag! Side note - I always get nervous trying anything new, and she has the best tricks to keep me smiling during the entire treatment - stress balls, numbing cream, everything. LOVE GAB! read more

I'm extremely selective about who I trust with my face, and Xochitl at Facile is truly one of a kind. My sister-in-law raved about her, and I knew I had to go see her. I've seen Xoch for Botox, microneedling, and undereye filler, and she always gets it just right--never overdone, always natural. Her knowledge of facial anatomy is unmatched, and you can tell she approaches every treatment with precision and care. I have a vasovagal response to bigger needles, and Xoch made me feel completely safe and calm. She walks you through everything step by step, and her demeanor is so genuinely kind and grounding. She never pushes treatments--instead, she takes the time to talk you through your options, giving honest insight into what will (and won't) work for your unique features. I'm moving out of state soon and am honestly devastated to leave Xoch behind. She's the best of the best. If you're considering seeing her, don't hesitate--10/10 recommend! read more

Not my complete review yet, but just what I happened to stumble upon after I purchased the bottle on the right today. The bottle on the left has run out. Still love this product, but has the amount really still remained the same? Will update review. read more

Facile Dermatology + Boutique - Oh no! What's going on here? - Skin Care Near Me - Pasadena, California

I have been fangirling over Xochitl's social media for years when I finally decided to book an appointment. Unfortunately, Xochitl was booked, so I instead booked with Rachel. I figured getting Xochitl's injector would be nearly as good given that her work on Xochitl is flawless. And I was right! Rachel has been amazing. This place isn't cheap, but they do great work. You don't want to risk your face with anyone else. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Xochitl at Facile! She is JUST incredible and made my experience one of the best I've ever had! She is personable, knowledgeable, kind, and makes you feel so at ease. I did a micro needling treatment with her. From start to finish, my microneedling treatment was nothing short of exceptional. First, Xochitl took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, address all my questions, and ensure I felt completely comfortable. Her knowledge and expertise were evident, and I could tell right away that I was in the hands of a true professional. The treatment itself was virtually painless, thanks to the careful technique and attention to detail. She was so gentle, precise, and made sure I was at ease throughout the entire process. And the results? Absolutely incredible! My skin has never looked better--brighter, smoother, and more rejuvenated than I ever expected. Beyond their skill, Xochitl is warm, kind, and truly cares about their patients. She went above and beyond to follow up with me post-procedure, providing helpful aftercare tips to ensure the best possible results. If you're considering microneedling (or any aesthetic treatment), I highly recommend seeing Xochitl. She truly is the best in the business, and I can't wait to return for another session soon! read more

Xochi is simply incredible! My first time doing any kind of facial balancing and she expertly addressed the imbalances from being a side sleeper and put me at ease treating tough areas like the temples! Her expertise was very apparent in her overall approach and also her actual injecting technique! She took the time to talk through my concerns and never upsold anything I didn't need- aka I still felt beautiful but just like we were tweaking a few things that would enhance my natural beauty! She also has such a natural touch! The front desk staff is equally lovely and the place is chic and clean! 10/10- also I look and feel amazing and we did a few tweaks at 2 weeks for perfect results! - thanks Xochi- Lindsay L read more

I love coming to Facile, it's a great experience from start to finish. Xochitl is phenomenal! You feel safe in her hands and she is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her work, and you feel that. Highly recommend. read more

Xochitl and team Pasadena Facile's are all truly amazing!!! I got introduced to Facile during 2020, and I have been so touched by her kindness and willingness to listen to all my concerns. She has the most beautiful skin herself and you just know that you can trust her with yours. Even during the Eaton fires Xochitl has been so kind and accommodating to her fellow Altadena/ Pasadena neighbors. She is a gem and so glad to know her! read more

I go to Rachel here and she is absolutely amazing. She is an artist and highly qualified human with a great eye and kind heart. The facility is cute, clean and I felt taken care of especially with them working around some major disruptions I had due to the Eaton Fire. An incredibly amazing place, you won't regret the trip! read more

Love Mona! You get what you pay for in this boutique and Mona always listens to your needs and gives you exactly what she promotes, natural looking results. Shes not only beautiful on the outside but also the sweetest person. read more

There's a reason why this place is rated 5 stars! Facile provides you exceptional service and provides you the best boutique experience possible. Here is my experience with the facile facial. You enter their cozy lobby and check in as you wait for the staff to welcome you into your facial room. You listen to ambient and soothing tunes and already feel relaxed. You're then greeted by your esthetician and led into a facial room. Arianna was wonderful, it was my first facial in a while, so she walked me through the entire experience and told me what she was going to do. I also enjoyed the heated bed you lay in as you're getting the facial! I also loved how knowledgeable she was, and how she took her time to really get to know my skin. She really took the time to educate me and answer any questions I had. Arianna was also very friendly and I just loved her energy. Lovely experience here at Facile, and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to treat yourself! read more

I'll be the first to admit--it took me an entire year of research before finally starting my injectable journey. Looking back, my only regret is not seeing Mona sooner. From my very first visit, Mona put me completely at ease. I was nervous, but she took the time to walk me through every option, offering expert guidance tailored to my goals. The results? Absolutely outstanding. Natural, refined, and beyond anything I could have imagined. She corrected a drooping brow I thought I was stuck with forever, erased deep lines that bothered me. For the first time in a long time, I felt like myself again. I returned for a second visit today, and I can confidently say that Mona's expertise is unparalleled. She genuinely listens and understands exactly what you're hoping to achieve. I cannot speak highly enough of Mona and the entire Facile team! read more

I've been coming to facile for about 6 months now and this review is long overdue! I get facials with Arianna L and she is nothing short of a skin angel. From our first session I was hooked. Arianna is a super star - extremely knowledgeable, professional and passionate about skincare. She answered all my (many many) questions, gave me recommendations for products, and even followed up with me over email after our treatment to see how things were going and offer advice for any unwanted side effects. I really appreciate that she doesn't follow trends or a one size fits all approach. She leans into the science of the ingredients and what works for your specific skin type, and even takes notes on her clients so she remembers what works and doesn't. I really feel like she cares about all of her clients and puts her whole heart into her work. Aside from her stellar expertise, Arianna is simply a lovely person. I'm someone who struggles with acne and hyperpigmentation and often feel self conscious about my skin. But here, I never feel embarrassed. Arianna creates an environment that is calm and welcoming, everything about her energy says "you are safe here". It feels like a little vacation from all the stress of daily life. Not to mention her neck/shoulder massages towards the end of the facial is literal heaven (even better than a traditional massage imo). I always look forward to my appointments! Thank you facile and Arianna for keeping me glowing! read more

I had a bit of mix up for my appointment but when I got there, Jenna, the client coordinator, was so helpful and accomodating for a resolution. Arianna, the esthetician, was also very helpful by taking me on when she didn't have to. Both of these ladies were amazing and my facil was great. Thanks again for the service and patience with me while there. read more

This place is great. I live across the country and after getting injected by Xochitl I don't want to go anywhere else. She was super patient and took time answering all my questions and including addressing my anxiety around trying filler for the first time. Xochitl is clearly a master of the craft - her attention to detail while making sure that you still look like you made me realize how rushed/one note my past experiences with injectables have been. My results were beautiful and nuanced-- I can't wait to go back. Highly highly recommend! read more

xochitl is the best and the only person I trust with my face! I've gotten both filler and sculptra with her and the results have always been subtle and natural. I feel so lucky to have found such a great injector. read more

Facile was such a great experience for me. Went in to get Botox and Xochitl, Jenna, & the girls were very pleasant to work with. They made me feel comfortable & took great care of me! I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

I've been going regularly to Xochitl at Facile for about two years. She is so professional, warm, kind, and knowledgeable. I was extremely self conscious about my skin prior to seeing her and would not leave the house without some type of foundation. She has made such a huge difference in my skin, I look younger and more refreshed and feel way more confident. I've thrown away all of my foundation and have replaced it with a lightly tinted SPF. Everyone at the Pasadena office is so welcoming and kind. I can not recommend Xochitl and the entire Facile staff enough. read more

Like so many other folks here, I couldn't be a bigger Xochitl fan. I've been seeing her for over a year and have been doing dysport and microneedling at her direction, plus using her fantastic tips for skin care-- my complexion has never been better, my skin is balanced and calm, and I look refreshed! (This is a small miracle for the working mom of a toddler.) No question that I look better (and younger) now than I did when I started seeing her. She just has a fantastic knack for knowing how to make you look like the best version of yourself, and she's also just a really lovely human being. I live on the west side and happily travel to Pasadena to see her-- in LA, what's a better endorsement than that? read more

Now that I've been coming to Facile for years, it's time to update this review! I originally came in for masseter Botox after my dentist suggested it to help with jaw clenching and grinding. Xochitl was kind, knowledgeable, and super conservative in her approach, and the results were amazing--I stopped waking up from clenching, and my jawline even slimmed down. More recently, I've tried lip filler and tear trough filler with her and I'm obsessed. Everything looks so natural and refreshed--never overdone. I completely trust Xochitl's eye and always feel like I'm in the best hands. Highly recommend her for anyone considering Botox or filler! read more

Xochitl is such an angel. I've seen her a couple times now for microneedling, and 1) I've already seen such a difference in my skin but 2) I appreciate her honesty so much about what would or may not work best for my skin. read more

I Love facile so much. Rachel and Ariana are everything! Literally life savers, they really help keep my skin snatched, especially since I haven't been getting as much rest lately. I highly recommend Ariana for facials, and Rachel for micro infusions. I come once a month for each and its worth every penny. I will literally come here for ever as long as Rachel and Ariana are here, super trustworthy and honest. Very skilled and friendly staff throughout and super clean! read more

I've been coming to see Rachel every few months now, and it's been one of the best decisions for my skin! She, and the whole staff, are kind and great at what they do. Nice facility as well. read more

Excellent experience at Facile. Had an appointment with Xochitl who was very kind, friendly, super informative, and skilled in her craft. She has a great eye, and I am thrilled with the results! Very natural, and exactly what I wanted! read more

I love visiting Xochitl. I have done two sessions of botox, micro needling and recently I decided to do lip filler. I absolutely see a difference and LOVE the way my skin and lips look. She makes sure her work looks natural and not over the top. She is also insanely smart and kind and explains everything and answers all of my random questions! Highly recommend. read more

One star removed namely over the price because it does lean overpriced. First, the prices reflect that they're going for a luxury day spa treatment, but unlike a spa, there's no additional amenities for you to explore. Of course not a lot of day spas have a PA on staff nor do I find their estheticians as knowledgeable, but that just makes it feel like you're paying extra to subsidize some of the higher end services because a basic facial doesn't take advantage of those. $225 was rough to swallow for simply a facial, but I was curious and all the 5 star reviews got to me. My aesthetician was certainly wonderful and did everything right and is the reason this place is still getting 4 stars from me (so book Ariana for sure). It's mostly the policies and practices here that feel almost unnecessary. Like they provide a towel dress thing for you to wear (that I'm not sure how plus sized clients would fit into) when your facial is all face and upper body so i felt silly taking my shorts (which I could've kept on) and bra off. Again it felt like they do this to emulate a day spa, but only it's not a day spa. I will also accept some responsibility for coming here with no specific things for my aesthetician to work on. I get facials for the relaxation and because I didn't have any add-ons or specific concerns, my service included a full on clavicle, neck, and back massage once the main treatment was over. I wish I knew this was the case because most places I get facials from just find other ways to keep working on your face because the way you're positioned on the table isn't meant for a back massage (I felt so awkward that she had to keep working on my back while I was lying down on my back). But again what makes it worth it is the expertise and skill here. What stood out to me was my extractions were more thorough than other places and significantly less painful. It takes practice and technical know-how to get to that level. One neutral comment is they only use their products which is to be expected. They don't push them. Overall, I'd only come back if I had a specific issue/concern with my skin. The price point is hard to swallow especially after looking at a review that was 11 months ago that was significantly cheaper. If you're coming here to try a facial out of sheer curiosity to see if the price is worth it, I don't recommend it. If you have a specific thing in mind and can't seem to find a reputable aesthetician, try it out. read more

Love love love Facile! Everyone on the team goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed and cared for. Special shout out to my injector - Xochitl's aesthetic eye is impeccable. She is so warm and instantly put me at ease as we discussed the options available to meet my goals. During my consultation, it quickly became clear that she is an expert. I trust her to guide me towards becoming my glowiest, freshest self, while also keeping me safe. I have been seeing her since 2022 and she has earned my trust and loyalty. She is an attentive listener, patient, and is willing to say NO if a treatment isn't needed. Xochitl is too talented to gatekeep. She is the best and will take incredible care of you! read more

Getting any kind of "work done" has always scared me, because in addition to hating needles, I want to maintain a natural look as I age. Xochitl has helped ease me into the process so graceful and I feel comfortable knowing that she will never let me leave her office looking bad: this is her work, and she takes pride in it! I am so happy I found someone I trust to be honest with me, and work With me to achieve my personal beauty goals! Oh, and facile is clean and adorable. I love my visits. read more

I have been coming to Facile to see Xochitl since 2021, and every experience with her and the entire Facile team has been top notch! Xochitl is an absolute expert in her field. I initially went to see her for help with what I thought was standard acne, but with her knowledge learned that the root of most of my skin issues was underlying rosacea. She has helped me navigate that every step of the way, helping refine my skincare routine and medications to give me results beyond what I even thought possible. She has truly has saved my skin! I have also done multiple rounds of microneedling and botox with her through the last few years and trust her 100% with my face. She always has her patients best interests in mind, will never push anything unnecessary, and makes the whole process feel so easy, comfortable and safe. She is absolutely the best of the best and I can't recommend her enough! read more

I came to Facile for a facial with Arianna. She was absolutely amazing and I felt literally nothing during the extractions. She was incredibly knowledgeable and recommended products that would be good for my skin, but wasn't pushy about having me purchase anything. After the facial my skin was absolutely glowing and I can't wait to book my next one! I recommend parking at the lot on the corner of shoppers lane and Del Mar blvd. read more

First time but forever turned client at Facile ! Was recommended by my best friend who looks so natural and stunning . I ended up booking a consultation for Botox and I'm just so happy with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, Jenna at the front desk was warm and welcoming, making the check-in process quick and easy. She was also great at answering my initial questions. Karin, the medical assistant, was so kind and thorough in making sure everything was perfect for my treatment. Rachel, the injector, was amazing. She took the time to discuss the areas I wanted treated and gave me helpful advice on what to expect. I felt completely at ease during the procedure, as Rachel's technique was gentle and precise. I described what I wanted and she gave me just that ! The results have been smooth, natural-looking results with minimal bruising . I'm already seeing a noticeable difference and am very pleased with the outcome. Overall, I highly recommend Facile and Rachel for any services. Excited for my next appointment read more

This is basically a years-overdue love letter to Xochitl. I think I'm a pretty high-maintenance patient (!), but she treats me with real warmth and utmost professionalism every single time. Xochitl has that rare combination of medical expertise and aesthetic artistry matched only by the genuine care she takes in her patients. I'm a nervous person and tend to ask a lot of questions about how various products work (and how faces work - complicated, it turns out), and Xochitl has all the answers: she knows what she is doing, inside and out (literally)! And the communication goes both ways, too -- I always feel listened to and respected in her office. It doesn't surprise me one bit that she is now a widely recognized expert and educator in her field. After seeing Xochitl again last week, I wanted to say thank you: I've never felt more confident than I have these last few years. If you want beautiful, safe, natural-looking, carefully considered results from an expert provider you can truly trust, go see Xochitl at facile while you can still get a booking! She's a star. read more
