Oemgeeeee ya'll, SKOAH, my holy grail skin sanctuary, is BACK open in the South End and this glow-up is personal. I've been a Skoah OG since the Chestnut Hill days lol yes, baby, I'm telling my age and my skincare wisdom. I've been getting facials before y'all knew what a pore was! So boom, South End location closed for a minute, and I was devastated. Like, almost tears devastated. But babyyyy when I tell you they REOPENED and the new owner is none other than my original esthetician, Sofia? I almost did a praise dance right there in reception. I felt like the prodigal daughter returning to the land of smooth, hydrated skin. Now listen, Sofia couldn't do my face this time (I forgive her, barely), but she handed me off to Dijana (pronounced Diana), and the girl SNAPPED. My skin was so snatched and dewy I walked out the room like I had just signed a skincare modeling contract. Lol, ok a tad exaggerated but my glow was top tier. I got my service in my fave room. And yes, I do have a favorite treatment room there as well. Don't judge me, judge your T-zone. From check-in to check-out, they treat you like skincare royalty. No pushy product sales, no awkward upsells, just vibes, chill music, and a facial that will have you questioning why you ever strayed. It's CLEAN, it's PEACEFUL, and it's BLACK-GIRL-APPROVED. I'm not a member right now but babyyyy that membership is calling my name back to the club. If you go (and you BETTA), tell them Shaleah sent you. Then text me so we can compare glow levels. 10/10. Highly recommend. Would let them steam my face every day if I could. I miss you Sofia if you see this!

I had seen Suzy's business a few times while looking around online and decided to make an appointment for the Red Carpet Hydrafacial the night before an important event.

Suzy is very sweet, will not try to sell you on 12 different things that you will take home and are not sure what to do with, and is genuinely interested in helping you get your best skin. Booking is so easy, just click on her site and if you have any questions just send a message for a quick reply! She is right on Galen St, there is a lot of metered parking and some free parking on side streets (or Galen, depending on the time of your appointment).

updated review as promised. I've had my lips done 2 weeks ago now and had my first hydra-facial…read morewith Anna yesterday. I'm super happy with both results! My lips look very natural but have just that little bit of extra 'oomph'. Michelle knows exactly what she's doing. She took plenty of time to let the lidocaine cream numb my lips. I find the treatment quite painful (and I normally have a high tolerance) so this is very much appreciated. She then works quick and efficient but still very meticulous and precise so there's minimal pain with maximum results. Afterwards my lips were swollen for a few days naturally but no bruising at all. In short: I have the exact result I wanted and would highly recommend Michelle for lip fillers! Besides being a pro she's also super personable and fun :) As for Michelle, I can't say enough praise for Anna! She's so knowledgable about skin and tailors your facial exactly to your needs. No cookie cutter treatments here! I had a hydra-facial but she added in a few other techniques to maximize the affects of my treatment. My skin is glowing and feels so soft! I'm getting married soon so wanted to add in micro-needling but Anna advised against it saying my skin is too delicate and just doesn't need it. She assured me we can get the best possible skin for me without heavy treatments. I appreciate her honesty a lot and value her not trying to up sell me on something I don't need. She's genuinely concerned about me and my skin. Anna is also super personable and fun and I had the best time while in her chair! I feel like she could be a real friend.

I have been getting botox for 20 years with excellent results. I have always gone to a skilled…read morecosmetic physician to have my botox. However, I recently moved to Boston and after reading good reviews about SkinDeep Med Spa I decided to give it a try. I went to see Michelle Cory (a nurse injector) I explained that I wanted to reduce forehead wrinkles and crows feet but wanted to look natural. While getting my injection, I noticed that Michelle was not as careful as my previous providers while injecting. She also gave me more units of botox than I usually get. Several days later I noticed my left eye had started to droop. Droopy eyelids (called ptosis) are a known but rare complication of botox. It can happen if the toxin (botox) inadvertently spreads to the muscles that are responsible for lifting the eyebrow or the eyelid. This subsequently weakens or paralyzes the lid and gives the droopy eye. This (droopy eye) occurs if the injection is too deep, too close to the muscles, or the dose is too high, all of which are due to clinician error. This complication will likely last eight weeks. It appears Michelle injected the botox too close to my eyebrows and also likely gave me too much botox both of which led to my droopy eye. I went back to see Michelle with my complication and she admitted that this had happened before to her clients. She prescribed some drops which unfortunately, are not very effective. Other than that, she was no help managing the complication she caused to my eye and has not checked in with me since the incident occurred to see how I was doing. I am now out $600 for this procedure, and look quite disfigured. I read online that it is very important to choose a medically qualified, skilled and experienced injector who understands the risks of the botox procedure and will approach new patients with caution to decrease risk. Michelle (at SkinDeep Med Spa on Newbury Street) was not careful and likely lacked the clinical experience/training to avoid my complication. As I said, I have had botox for 20 years without complications. I will be reporting this complication to the FDA but wanted to share my experience so that others may avoid this issue. Think twice before booking an appointment at SKINDEEP MED SPA for botox as complications can be serious, disfiguring and even life threatening. I will be going to a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for all my future botox.

I cannot say enough good things about Shannon and her business, Noel Herbal Skincare…read more I had my first facial with her over the summer and it was by far one of the most relaxing and effective facials I've ever had. As a person, Shannon is a true professional and is an expert when it comes to skincare and using natural products to promote wellness. She has such a gentle, calming spirit, and you feel at ease as soon as you are in her presence. When I visited Shannon, I received the Moon Facial, which was very restorative and left my skin feeling beautiful. It involves extractions and steam, but in the most gentle way possible. I'm personally pretty sensitive to steam, so I asked Shannon if it could be lowered and she immediately took care of it and was great about checking in during the whole process to make sure I was comfortable. The products she used didn't irritate my skin at all and really made a difference. My mom has also visited Shannon for facials many times, and tells me that her "happy place" is being at Noel Herbal Skincare, receiving the most amazing facial. I completely agree. Cheers to many more visits to the happy place.
