I have been coming to Medical Aesthetics of Menlo Park for years. I first came for laser hair…read moreremoval which I highly recommend - it's very effective and painless. Why did I ever wax?? A few years ago I added Botox. Dr G was my first experience with Botox and she's wonderful. In the beginning she listened closely to what I wanted (to remove the ever deepening line between my eye brows) and she explained that to get a natural look involves considering how all the muscles move together. She tried different injection locations, asked how I liked it at my next visit, and adjusted based on my feedback. Now, when I come in she ensures I want the same constellation of injections and works off her recorded "map" of my face. Dr G is very good at Botox! The results are wonderful and she always reminds me of how to care for it (for example, no exercise that raises my heart beat for 24 hours). Dr G is also wonderful with patients. She's friendly, calm, patient, professional and very gentle with the injections. There's been no bruising. Her goal is to ensure you're satisfied and happy. So grateful for the wonderful service at Medical Aesthetics. It's always clean, safe, and I get amazing results! Cannot recommend enough!!

This update is LONG overdue! As you can see I've been a faithful since 2019 and I continue coming…read moreback to Medical Aesthetics of Menlo Park because their services are always done with the best and highest level of care and so much attention to detail. Things I would recommend having done here....EVERYTHING they have! I am so grateful for the way I feel every time I leave this gem of a place. Dr G (Gity) is spectacular, if you know, you know. This isn't about placing injections and off you go. There is an art and talent that goes with making you look natural and flawless. Dr G has that what many would probably call "God Given Talent" for me I just call her my Goddess of Natural Beauty! I've done so many things sitting happily on her medical chair that I guess now the secret is out! She doesn't exaggerate features, you leave looking glowing, happy, and rested...and naturally beautiful as everyone should! In my opinion she is THE person to go to for lips, hands down, I'll kiss anyone who says different! ha! Yeah, she is THAT good with giving you those perfect lips. This place carries the best products available and when you pay for quality you notice it, feel it (painlessly of course) and see it last longer. They are experts in non-surgical facial transformation. As a mom, I've fluctuated with my weight since pregnancy and always what shows the most change is in my face. Now that I've reached where I want to be, Dr G knows and keeps up with all the leaders of the industry to keep your face looking as it should. She never pushes, she is thorough, explains everything and since I have so much trust in here, I just see stars. When you are with her, you're the most important person in the room, will make sure you are comfortable and she has such a loving and gentle approach...and she uses the good stuff to make sure you're fully numb from feeling any discomfort. I can go on, but I know you just want to make that appointment already! ;) Since we are all friends here, you don't even have to take my word for it, look at her credentials and the master classes and seminars she has been chosen by peers and experts in the industry to attend. Now for my treatment girls, they got all those here too and all the latest, most advanced technology. Take care of your laser hair treatments, if you have a strange scar that you want gone, they have an incredible laser machine for that with a few zap sessions, it will be soon forgotten. Ultratherapy, CO2 and skin resurfacing....again you'll be in the right place and with the right hands to do it for you. Gents, this isn't just a lady's thing....they will know what to do to make you refreshed and rejuvenated too so don't be shy to call for a consult. dr.g_aesthetics on INSTA https://linktr.ee/dr.g_aesthetics?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=77fb0814-55f6-4f05-b7fb-33be31604ddc

From the moment I walked in, the front desk made me feel completely comfortable and taken care of and once I met Joanne, I knew I was in great hands...literally! She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to listen to what you want while offering her professional insight. I had Daxxify and filler done, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They look natural, balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for. Joanne's attention to detail and gentle approach made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. What truly stood out to me was how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She even followed up with me after my treatments to check in and make sure everything was healing well and that I was happy with my results. That level of care is rare and so appreciated. I highly recommend Joanne if you're looking for someone who is not only skilled at what she does, but also truly kind and invested in her clients' experience! :)

We recommend micropenning or microneedling for skin brightening and addressing texture.

Such a welcoming and genuine place!…read more I've been thinking about Botox and fillers for a long time but honestly knew nothing about the process. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely comfortable. Louise at the front desk was so sweet and knowledgeable--she explained the different services clearly and was very transparent about her own experiences, which I really appreciated. Maryam did my first ever lip filler, and she was amazing. She has such an energetic and comforting manner and never once made me feel pressured to do more than what I wanted. She really focused on understanding my goals and made sure they were met. Throughout the appointment, she explained everything she was doing and checked in to make sure I loved the results. The whole experience felt effortless and supportive. Everyone there is beautiful and inviting, not superficial at all. You can tell they genuinely want you to feel happy and confident with yourself, not just sell you more product. I already booked my next appointments with Maryam and can't wait to come back. I absolutely love this place

During our consultation she was pretty much trying to "judge" whats wrong with my skin/face and wanted to upsell facials and other treatments. She was very pushy and I didnt feel comfortable continuing anymore since I felt like I wasnt being heard and she said "you cannot start the treatments without committing to facials" despite explaining that I have an actual derm I see regularly. The whole interaction just felt very uncomfortable knowing that this lady whos not a medical professional is giving medical advice?? I have gone to other medspas and I am a nurse myself so I see what she was doing. Super weird interaction, she seemed like a sales person just wanting to get commission badly..

The facial itself was incredibly relaxing yet effective. My skin felt deeply cleansed, smooth, and noticeably brighter right after the session. The diamond exfoliation was gentle but thorough--no irritation at all, just that fresh, glowing skin feeling. What I really appreciated was how knowledgeable and attentive the provider was. They explained each step, customized the treatment based on my skin, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. If you're looking for a facial that gives instant glow, improves texture, and still feels luxurious and calming, I highly recommend the Diamond Facial at Renew MD. I'll definitely be back!

Every product they have recommended has worked shockingly well for my skin. I was skeptical about it all at first but that has been proven otherwise. I've gone through a complete transformation and I was once one of those people who used Nivea and a soap bar for my face. It worked while it did but after 30, not so much. I looked in the mirror and my face was so dry and my budding cracks so... prominent? Obviously no longer good enough. I did research on many places in the east bay and chose here because of its boutique-like charm and upfront prices. I wanted a personalized experience and that's exactly what these ladies delivered! My goal was to preventively restore the skin under my chin to delay my growing jowls and smile lines. Since joining RenewMDs Beauty Society, I have had Ultherapy on my lower face/neck, 4 months of Trizep, Potenza and Picosure, and a lot of Skin by Dr Sethi! I actually look better now than before I had my son having lost the extra lbs and taking more care of my skin. I get stares in public and complements again my coworkers ask me for my beauty "secrets" (lol no secrets). My husband is handsier too! All this was by no means painless - beauty is pain! And expensive! But if you are looking for a transformation/ restoration project like I was, this is the place to achieve that! Thank you Dr Sethi, Ruby, Syenna, Stephanie, and Ms Joy

I request the candela machine whenever I go. However, in my recent visit, the cold air jet was not as effective as usual. Nancy is going to personally call her manager to get that addressed, and I am really grateful for how quickly this location response to concerns.

Last August, I decided to invest in laser hair removal as a commitment to myself. Because it is a…read moresignificant financial investment, I searched on Groupon and purchased a deal listed as a "large service," reasonably assuming this would cover full legs. I was disappointed to learn--only after calling Sev to book--that "large" meant either upper or lower legs, not both. That initial phone call set the tone for the rest of my experience. The man I spoke with was dismissive and repeatedly fixated on the fact that I had purchased a Groupon, pushing me to buy an additional package to cover my full legs. I made it clear multiple times that I chose Groupon intentionally because I could not afford the in-house bundles and was comfortable proceeding with lower legs only. His tone felt judgmental and presumptive about my financial situation, as though I was making a poor choice rather than an informed one. I ultimately stood my ground, opting to start with lower legs and potentially invest more later if I was satisfied with the service. At my first appointment, the treatment itself went smoothly. However, at checkout, the receptionist again made pointed comments about my Groupon purchase and attempted to upsell me on an additional package, calling it "the best savings." I declined politely, though it was becoming uncomfortable to feel singled out for how I chose to pay. That night--and for nearly two weeks afterward--I experienced severe, deep itchiness in the treated area. As an esthetician, I tried every appropriate remedy: aloe, hydrocortisone, and antihistamines. Nothing helped. When I called Sev seeking guidance, I was hung up on. I was left suffering without answers or support. By my next appointment, the reaction had subsided, and I asked the nurse what could have caused it. She suggested a possible allergic reaction to the laser, though I explained that I had undergone laser treatments elsewhere in the past without any issues and that no remedies had provided relief. She wasn't sure but speculated that my hair thickness could be contributing and that it might improve over time. Unfortunately, it did not. On my fourth visit, despite consistently booking Monday noon appointments, the receptionist insisted I was late and told me I needed to reschedule. When I asked about the late policy or what time she had me scheduled for, she refused to clarify. I later pulled up both email and text confirmations proving I was on time and that she was incorrect. Even then, she laughed it off and still insisted I reschedule without explaining the policy. I eventually contacted the manager, who acknowledged that this receptionist had been an ongoing issue. The manager was empathetic, professional, and kind, and she offered me a complimentary service for the inconvenience. This is the sole reason this location receives even one star from me. The manager and nurses were consistently compassionate and respectful. By my fifth session, however, I was still experiencing intense itchiness after each treatment. At that point, I decided to stop altogether. I accepted the complimentary service out of respect for the manager, but I will not return. I chose to go back to a previous laser provider where I never had adverse reactions. To be clear: the issue is not Groupon. The issue is how customers who use Groupon are treated. The repeated upselling, dismissive attitudes, and subtle discrimination made me feel lesser and unwelcome. If offering Groupon services is such a burden, then don't offer them. Making clients feel ashamed or undervalued for seeking an accessible option is unacceptable. Please, do better.
