I've been seeing Anh at BackBay Skincare almost every month this year for hydrafacials, and I can…read morehonestly say it's completely transformed my skin. It feels like one of those secrets you almost don't want to share because she's that good. I've been to all the "fancy" and overhyped spas in Boston, and nothing compares--those places feel like a lot of promises without results. With Anh, I get instant and lasting benefits every single time. My skin is clearer, healthier, and I've gotten more compliments this year than I ever have. She also takes the time to recommend products that actually work for me, which has made such a difference in keeping my skin on track between visits. If you're looking for results-driven skincare in Boston, this is the place. Anh is truly a hidden gem.

For context, I have pretty severe cystic acne, went through one round of Accutane which helped initially, but then my acne came back with a vengeance. I had awful inflamed nodules and acne all along my neck that were painful and itchy, and it is completely smooth and clear now thanks to Kelly's skill and persistence in extracting. I also get microdermabrasion, which she recommends on weeks when my skin is looking calmer and can benefit from the extra exfoliation to get rid of dead skin and help with scarring. She also does scalp and facial massages to help you relax during the treatment which is really nice. If you have acne-prone skin that hasn't responded to typical treatments or medication from dermatologists, I wholeheartedly recommend seeing Kelly. Getting regular extractions and facials with her has made a world of difference, and I can finally see real progress in my skin that actually lasts.

two overall negative experiences with tattoo removal and lash treatment:…read more tattoo removal: very expensive for tattoo removal compared to Removery. They don't use ice before treatment or cold air to make you more comfortable so the process is very painful and unbearable. They don't let the tat air out after and cover it with bandages causing lots of friction and irritation over the wound right after treatment. basically the way they do the treatment is as expensive and as painful as possible compared to other places that offer the same treatment. lash treatment: I also bought their lash serum. they don't tell you how to use it responsibly or that you should take long breaks from the treatment. nor does the manufacturer who I reached out to. If you do your own research, there are lots of risks and warnings. although it made my lashes extra nice, it caused discoloration of my actual eyes. I went to the eye doctor and they told me it would likely be permenant damage. they also tell you the lashes will stay that way, but they return to normal when you stop using the product and you must stop for long periods to use it safely and stop all together if it damages your eyes (which I did.) To make matters worse they called me to dispute my review. I told them I wasn't interested unless they were calling to apologize and refund me. After expressing my disinterest in further discussion and hanging up, they called and texted me asking me to remove my review because it was "misleading". As if having my experience dismissed and harassing me is going to make me take down my review...

I was absolutely blown away how patient and kind she was during the consultation: nothing like anything i've experienced in the past. We talked about my goals and while I originally was planning to get filler & Botox after the consultation, we decided to take it slow and just go for Botox this time. I am extremely happy with my results (masseter muscle Botox for jaw clenching) and wish I would have taken the plunge sooner. My grinding has reduced by probably 90% and my jaw pain has improved so much that I didn't even need to use a supportive bite block at the dentist during my last visit, which I typically need 10 minutes into my exam. I booked a second visit for chin filler and I am absolutely over the moon with the results. It looks so subtle and natural, balancing my side profile exactly where I wanted without losing my cleft chin, which I wanted to keep. Thank you again Christina for all your amazing work!

I got a facial and massage my first time there and have been hooked ever since. I get regular hydrafacials here and started laser hair removal too. The hydrafacials have really transformed my skin. I love them and always leave there glowing. The laser treatments have been going well so far - I wouldn't call them fun or relaxing by any means but they're effective! The staff here has always been super lovely. My usually aesthetician moved this year so I started going to new people (I can't remember their names) but they're also lovely. I'll also note that spa treatments are not cheap but skin spa ALWAYS has a deal going on so you can get good discounts and once you purchase a service, it doesn't expire. I love them.

The word on the street was that Karen Golden was the person you went to if you were coming into this from a place of trauma and the street wasn't kidding. If you're kind of a hot mess, you won't find a more compassionate person. She's not judgy, she's not unkind, and she makes the process of ripping your pubic hair out of your body as not-awful as it possibly could be. The room is clean and smells nice. Her assistant Lara is also as kind as can be. She takes cash or checks and everyone is understanding if you don't come by on the regular or have to cancel at the last minute (I disappear for months at a time: my income ain't what it used to be) but if you can only go to one place for the rest of your life for waxing, this is where you should go.

She is one of the few skincare providers who not only devises a science-based, customized, long-term treatment plan, she keeps in contact with you between treatments, adjusts your prescribed products accordingly, and utilizes the latest technology in skincare (think Clear & Brilliant laser followed by a concoction of glutathione and vitamins infused into the skin, followed by micro needling). There is no provider in the Boston area, let alone in the Northeast, who is as diligent with continuing education (she's a national educator, herself), nor as innovative with her treatments. The ultimate outcome of creating a long-term relationship with Alexis is flawless skin, guaranteed. Take it from someone who spent upwards of $15,000 (!) on skincare prior, yet still couldn't fathom leaving my house without a full face of makeup. It took three months of adhering to my Alexis-prescribed protocol coupled with in-office visits to attain what I and others describe as "perfect" skin. Investing and trusting in Alexis has not only made me confident and radiant on the outside; the amount of time I spend putting on makeup has gone from 40 minutes to *maybe* five minutes. That's at least four more hours in my week to focus on what matters. Thank you Alexis for making what I thought was impossible, a reality. I am forever grateful.
