    CLASSIC BAIT AND SWITCH! What a shame, this is a medical office not a car dealership. See photos for the Instagram ads and clinic communications. LuxMD advertised Botox for $13 per unit, but I later learned I was injected with Leytbo, a different product that was never disclosed up front. That is a classic bait-and-switch. I even returned for a touch-up before realizing what happened. When we questioned it, the clinic confirmed Leytbo was used and refused to make it right. Because of this, I have filed a formal complaint with the Medical Board of California. Patients deserve honesty about what is being injected into their bodies. I would not recommend this clinic.

    "BOTOX" not an alternative service

    I visited LuxMD on August 14th after seeing their Instagram ad for Botox at $13 per unit. I paid for Botox, but without my knowledge they injected me with Letybo, a generic off-brand version that they actually advertise for only $3 per unit. Instead of being honest, they charged me the full Botox price. This was never disclosed to me at the time of treatment. I even returned on August 28th for a touch-up and was charged another $350, again under the impression I was receiving genuine Botox. Only later did I learn I had been misled. When I confronted the doctor, she admitted to using Letybo but refused to make it right. This is a blatant bait-and-switch -- advertise Botox, charge for Botox, but actually inject patients with a cheaper product. See attached photo confirming my appointments. Patients deserve honesty and transparency, not deceptive practices.

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!

The regional director Alex told me I can call her whenever and she sent my call to voicemail and texted me stating she cannot talk at that time but is happy to text me. So she too thrives off lies. Perfect company for a lady like her. Kamila the manager of this location said she would honor a free clear and brilliant for their error. Two weeks ago. Over the phone and in person I was told they are working so hard to get this to me. And still nothing. When I told "Alex" about this she said this wouldn't be honored because it wasn't in writing. I have emailed, called left messages oh wait I cannot because everyone's voice messages are full and no one can respond or pick up despite them saying "message me whenever and I will be sure to personally help you." Save your time, save your breath and do not come here. You can go on Reddit and read about all those who have asked for refunds and the absolute scam this place does and what they do to keep money. I guess it's the only way they stay in business...because for sure they wouldn't be in business if their aggressive sales and lies were actually transparent. 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. I'm hoping these reviews save many people from coming here. Alex has successfully ignored me as have others from regional and corporate. Great business? Think twice.

    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.

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!!
