However, I just love Donna. I have missed her as I was going elsewhere for a bit due to schedule and another treatment I wanted to try that was offered elsewhere.. BIG mistake. The results there were terrible when my favorite nurse left and another took over adding 10 years to my face. I've literally cried each day I've woken since. It's been a couple months since that took place and was able to get in with Donna yesterday. Even though I only did some botox right before leaving on vacation, Donna made me feel so much better. We came up with a plan to correct the terribly unfortunate outcome at the "other place" and was just so freshing to have someone understand I'm pushing 60 and not trying to look like I'm 20. I just want to look "refreshed" and feel good as I age. She is transparent in what to expect with results of any procedure. Donna was able to explain what muscles are pulling my face downward from the treatment elsewhere, something the other place could not do, nor did the nurse even admit her error there. Donna really takes the time to understand what you want and need and gives you options, doesn't try to sell you on anything. Thank you so much for giving me hope again Donna.. Your entire office is always such a pleasant and welcomed experience! Look forward to my next appt!

Recently I lost a lot of weight and felt like my face didn't look like me anymore and in ways that were hard to articulate. Donna is so skilled and has an artist's eye when it comes to looking at the face. She showed me where the weight loss had most affected my face, starting at the temples and down to the front of the cheek. We decided on Sculptra to build back the collagen over time. She is also the best lip injector I have ever been to (and I had tried quite a few in the area before forever becoming a Donna client). I constantly think I "need" something new that I have read about and Donna will educate me all about the procedure, Pros/cons, and generally I don't need it! Her transparency is genuine and all too rare in this industry. Can't recommend her and her front office enough. All incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and fun!

They also use a call center to answer their calls. So where is your money going? Just consider that. And where are the doctors? This place is a joke.

The staff are wonderful too, and the practice is all state-of-the-art equipment. My only other experience with clinical aesthetic treatment was 20 years ago on the other side of the country for hair removal, and it's clear the technology has come a long way. Much less stinging and considerably faster today. Anu is a total pro.

Extremely Disappointed - Poor Service, Lack of Accountability, and Questionable Practices…read moreI'm not usually one to leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my recent experience with Arrive Med Spa. I've been receiving Botox for years and typically need only 30-35 units for my face (forehead, eyes, etc.). I had 79 units banked at Arrive, and because they're closing for renovations in December, I was strongly encouraged to use all remaining units in one visit -- even though I expressed that I never need that much. Trusting their expertise, I went along with their recommendation. To my disappointment, all 79 units were injected, yet entire areas were completely missed, including the right side of my forehead and part of the left. The result was lopsided and underwhelming -- I still had visible forehead movement, which should not have been the case with that dosage. When I returned to have their mistake corrected, I was told I had to pay for half of the additional units needed to fix it. I ended up paying nearly $1,000 total -- for something that usually costs me $300-$400 -- and still had to cover part of the correction for an error I did not cause. I pleaded my case to Jackie, hoping for some accountability, but she wasn't convinced they had done anything wrong. I was told management reviewed it and stood by the decision that I should still pay for part of the follow-up. What's more concerning is that, unlike most reputable med spas, Arrive rarely shows you the product being used before injection. You never see the vial or how it's being prepared. At other places I've been, they always show the Botox label and draw it up in front of you -- a simple but important step that builds trust. At Arrive, that transparency is missing, and it left me wondering whether I even received authentic Botox. I trusted this business with my care and feel completely let down -- not just by the poor administration of the Botox, but by the lack of transparency and unwillingness to take responsibility for a clear mistake. I deeply regret pre-purchasing units, and I highly doubt I will return. I wouldn't recommend this place based on my experience. Be cautious. Ask to see the product. Question recommendations that deviate from your norm. And don't assume that pre-purchasing units guarantees a good experience -- in my case, it cost me more in money, trust, and time.

My eye bags and dark circles have always made me look tired, even when I wasn't. I didn't want surgery or any dramatic changes. I simply wanted to look fresher while still looking like myself. Elizabeth completely understood and took a very gentle, conservative approach. The result is natural and subtle: I don't look different, just more refreshed and less tired. I'm very afraid of needles, but Elizabeth is gentle and precise, so the discomfort was minimal. My downtime was also very short and recovery is as fast as 3-4 days. What I appreciate most is their honesty. This is a caring family business, and they never pressure me into unnecessary treatments or try to upsell me. They genuinely take the time to recommend what is right for each client. I always feel well cared for and can truly trust Elizabeth, Nicole, Evelyn & Lisa and the entire team. Thank you so much again!

I have been searching half a year for a medspa and decided to give Essential Bella a try. It was…read morehonestly the best decision I've made to end the year! For the past year, I have struggled with trying to get rid of my acne scaring and improve the texture on my face. When going into Essential Bella, Evelyn greeted me with a warm smile and brought me to a private room. The room was clean, sterile, and well organized. She went over the procedure and made sure I was well informed before starting. First step was to numb my face, so she cleaned my face and then applied a numbing cream. I sat in that room comfortably for about 30 mins just scrolling on my phone while waiting for it to kick in. After that, Evelyn brought me to another room where she was going to start my procedure. She ended up doing extractions and then a chemical peel treatment. After that, she wipes it off and starts to microneedle. It was a smooth process and didn't really feel much. However, once the numbing cream wore off, I was really starting to feel it on one side of my face. It was only for the last two minutes. Afterwards, Evelyn put something cooling to help with the stinging sensation and handed me a small electric fan. The small fan felt so good, because my face felt like it was on fire! Once I was done, she told me some basic aftercare and shared the importance of using sunscreen 24hrs after the procedure. My face felt raw, tight, and on fire so had to use very gentle products after. 8hrs after my procedure, my face was pretty red, and I started to tolerate the pain. Later that evening I used a gentle face wash and cerave moisturizer. For the next few days, my skin started to peel and a lot of my texture had disappeared. Once it completely healed, my skin was glowy and my acne scars have lighted up. Just in time for Christmas eve festivities!! I look forward to my next micro-needle appointment with Evelyn! She's professional, informative, really kind, and has an amazing sense of humor. 10/10 recommend!!

I understand that results can vary with cool sculpting but the before and after pics were indistinguishable. Let me first say that Monica was always very kind. I had an awful experience with Dr. David Cruz. They gave me a body scan each visit which was not something I requested. When the scan showed I had gained some fat between sessions, Dr. Cruz was extremely condescending and implied that there was something wrong with me/my lifestyle. Im not sure why he felt the need to tell me how HE felt about MY body unprompted. My primary care doctor thinks I am a healthy weight and I have a healthy BMI. Health is my number one priority so his opinion affected me a lot at the time. I think this was beyond unprofessional and made me very uncomfortable given we were in a setting where cosmetic procedures are sold. I never said I wanted to change anything about my body, all I was there for was reducing genetic neck fat. After some reflection, I can't help but feel like Dr. Cruz was trying to plant seeds of insecurity to try to push sales.
