    I used to consider facials as a frill; a once in a while treat yourself kind of thing. But after one clinical- grade facial with Master Clinical Aesthetician, Paula Hu, I now realize it is a necessity if your goal is beautiful skin. Paula has over 14 years of experience in skincare and in June opened Modern Aesthetics Hawaii where she blends clinical treatments with that spa feel. I was amazed by my results just after one treatment and am definitely headed back for more in the recommended 4-6 weeks! Each of Paula's treatments are 90 minutes and begin with a thorough skin consultation. My latest concern were these tiny white bumps on my face which she diagnosed as milia. She informed me they could be removed, but could cause some bruising. She added they sometimes reach the surface on their own. I appreciated her sharing this knowledge with me and decided not to extract them at the time since my skin needed to be glowing for the weekend. After a deep cleansing of my skin, she took a closer look and decided on a very gentle but effective chemical peel. She also let me experience an amazing SilkTox mask that is full of antioxidants to tighten and brighten the skin. She finished off my facial with an O2 Blast treatment that infuses hydrating serums with refreshing oxygen into the skin. My face was seriously glowing when she was done working her magic. There was zero downtime. Whether your concern is acne or pigmentation, Paula has an array of treatments specifically designed to address your skin concerns. I look forward to trying her Smooth + Lit facial next. It's designed to repair and restore the skin while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. It's simple to book an appointment online through her Instagram account @modern_aesthetics_hawaii_llc If you hurry, you may be able to take advantage of her Halloween promotion! Best of all, Paula is amazing herself. She's professional, genuine, and gives off the good kind of energy. She really cares about you and your skin and that's the kind of person that I will put my trust in.

    All my milia cysts are gone and my skin is healing perfectly.

    Before seeing Paula, I had milium cysts that I couldn't remove for a couple of years now. I was on the hunt for an esthetician that worked with milia. I was happy to find Paula, booking was a breeze. She was awesome beginning to end and made my first facial so enjoyable. She was really attentive to everything from the products I used at home to my skin type. If you're looking for a well experienced esthetician, I'd recommend Paula. She uses nothing but top of the line technology and products, you won't be disappointed.

    Had an amazing facial by Paula! She is very professional, sweet, and accommodating. She greeted me with a large glass of ice water and walked me to the restroom before my treatment. Her appointments are 1.5 hours long. Her treatment room is cozy and comfy. She made me feel comfortable with my skin and told me everything she was going to do, and also told me what she was doing during the treatment which put my mind at ease. I have very sensitive skin and rosacea so I am very picky with who touches my face and with what products I use. She also used very low steam which is good because my face doesn't do well with steam. The treatment went well and my skin felt smoother and was glowing after, thou it was flushed and red as usual after I get a facial. The next day it calmed down and was glowing. I purchased some skincare products and received a free hydrating mask. I can't wait to come back for my next facial treatment. I think I finally found my own esthetician who knows what she is doing with my skin.

    Loving all the pampering with this Unicorn facial.

    The HydraFacial was a superb birthday gift! Thanking my Sweetie for this pampering which was gentle…read moreskin care that felt really good. We arrived before our appointment time and filled out their forms. We each had our own room/skin care specialist. The comfortable spa table is prepped with a little steamer to get your face ready for treatment. The HydraFacial machine was explained to me. She also stated that if the process felt uncomfortable, I could alert her to adjust the pressure. The procedure helped to clean, exfoliate, and remove impurities from my skin. She then applied a serum of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The final application was sunscreen. While the untrained eye, probably couldn't SEE a difference after the HydraFacial, I could certainly FEEL the difference. Clean, fresh, and super rejuvenated! As a follow up, I came in for the Scultural Face Lift with Buccal Massage. This included lymphatic drainage (behind your ears) and microcirculation of my shoulders, neck, and jaw area. If you've never had a massage inside your mouth, try it! This helps to relax jaw muscles and many TMJ patients use this. Honey, you are worth it! Whether a special occasion or just because. They have many options in their menu of services. They also sell products to compliment all your skin care needs. God blessed you with the skin you're in, this is a great way to maintain it :)

From tirzepatide to PRP, Morpheus8, the Salt Facial, and lip and midface filler - every treatment has delivered beautiful, natural-looking results that I am genuinely proud of.

They take time to listen, explain every step, and tailor each treatment to what works best for me personally. The monthly membership program has made staying consistent with my care so much more accessible, and the deals they offer show that Dr. Foo truly invests in long-term relationships with her patients - not just one-time visits. If you want a practice that combines clinical excellence with genuine warmth, Aloha Aesthetics MD is the place. I walk out of every appointment feeling seen, cared for, and absolutely glowing.

Highly recommend Paulina and Dr. Foo for your anti-aging skin routine!

    I've been a patient of Dr. Yew's for many years, with only a brief break when I moved away. During…read morethat time, I tried several other aesthetic providers, and it only reinforced what I already knew: Dr. Yew is truly in a league of his own. He is professional, knowledgeable, caring, approachable, and has a great sense of humor that immediately puts you at ease. He takes the time to answer every question honestly and always recommends what is in your best interest rather than what will generate the biggest bill. There are never long waiting times, and his team consistently goes above and beyond to provide outstanding service and the best value possible. One thing I've learned from visiting other clinics is that attractive promotions don't always translate into quality care. Many places will impress you during your first visit, only for the experience to decline afterward--long waits, inconsistent pricing, questionable treatment amounts, and results that simply don't deliver. I've seen it all. What sets Dr. Yew apart is that he combines medical expertise with artistic talent. Having a degree doesn't automatically make someone exceptional at what they do. In aesthetics, technical knowledge is only half the equation--the other half is artistry. Dr. Yew has both. He understands balance, proportion, and natural-looking results better than anyone I've encountered. Every time I leave his office, I look refreshed, never overdone. About a week later, I catch my reflection and wonder how I managed to look five years younger. After experiencing many providers over the years, I can confidently say this: if your face matters to you, don't shop for the cheapest deal--shop for the best hands. For me, that's Dr. Yew. I'm so glad to be back. Thank you, Dr. Yew!

Dr. Yew is both a doctor and an artist--he explains every step in detail, makes you feel completely comfortable, and ensures results that look natural, healthy, and absolutely beautiful. The entire staff treats us like family. They are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in our well‑being. I look fabulous, I feel healthier than ever, and I trust this team wholeheartedly.

As soon as you check in for your appointment, there are forms you will have to complete and while you do that, you are provided with a warm face towel and soothe the nerves and to begin your relaxation treatment. The staff member that greeted me was very warm and welcoming. You are offered a luxurious robe and slippers to wear during the entirety of your spa treatment. Prior to entering your treatment room, they ask you to wait in a beautifully curated and super cute room with a water dispenser and mixed nuts for you to enjoy while you wait. It was a whole vibe with low lighting , modern touches and such comfortable lounge chairs. Donna was the female who served me. She seemed very knowledgeable about how to better care for my skin and was thorough with each step she took. After your treatment, you have the option to take a nice, warm bath in their state of the art, delta showers and help yourself to the products in the bathroom. I can't wait to visit again :)
