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.

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.

I used the med spa part of this business. While the service itself is okay, there is no consistency…read morebetween how the procedure is done. Everyone is doing it differently, some charge you for a calming mask, some give it as a compliment to the service. I found it very confusing and frustrating. The worst is their behavior around tipping for med spa services. They blatantly and aggressively tried to get me to tip for those, literally trying to shame into paying it by loudly requesting a tip in front of everyone at the front desk, in addition to a big tablet with a tip suggestion (of 20,25 etc % expectation clearly listed) shoved in my face. This is a shady practice trying to indicate to a patient that this kind of tip is expected on a med spa procedure. Industry norms within healthcare generally favor transparent, all-inclusive pricing rather than gratuity-based compensation. This principle typically applies to services provided within medical spas, regardless of whether a specific treatment is performed by a medical provider or an esthetician. Because the service is offered under the medical spa's clinical umbrella and within a healthcare-related environment, patients reasonably expect the advertised price to reflect the full cost of care. Soliciting tips in this setting can create confusion regarding pricing, blur professional boundaries, and undermine the distinction between healthcare services and traditional hospitality services. The business acknowledges med spa separation from their day spa services. You receive multiple emails, forms to sign, etc. indicating a treatment that is treated as a procedure done under medical setting. It should be left to a patient discretion to provide a token of gratuity if they decide to do so, but in the med spa setting, there should not be expectation of the same tipping practice as for the traditional day spa services. I was very taken aback by these practices. This behavior was not present at other branches, but unfortunately those have been closed or will be closed.

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.

Make no mistake, it's an investment of time, care, and $$ for your face, but if you make the effort, it will show. I care more about my regimen than I ever have, yet my regimen is simple and straightforward (cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and a retinoid at night). Alxs really helped me clean up my act and it shows.
