I don't do much reviews but Ariba Med Spa deserves it so here it is…read more I have been a loyal client of Ariba Med Spa for years, and they never fail to exceed my expectations! Nurse Kalee and the front desk staff are incredibly welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable, making me feel comfortable every time. Over the years, 8 years to be exact I've had Botox, hydrafacials and microneedling. All of my experience has been fantastic. The providers take the time to explain each procedure, answer all my questions, and ensure I feel completely at ease. My results have always been amazing. What keeps me coming back is their attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction. They use top-of-the-line products and technology, and I love that they tailor treatments to my individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Also with my complicated work schedule, they always finds a way to work around it so I am very thankful. If you're looking for a high-quality med spa with skilled professionals. I highly recommend Ariba Med Spa. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my skincare and aesthetic needs.

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.

The staff at Laser Away are always welcoming and helpful…read more Last week I was early to my appointment so I waited on a bench 1/2 block away. When it was time for my appointment I stood up and accidentally left my wallet on the bench. I went to my appt, went home and realized I left my wallet somewhere! I called and asked the very helpful and sweet FD staff to check the bench for me. They called me back and said they found my wallet!! I was so thankful! They went above and beyond for me! I'm so grateful for their help in my crisis. Thank you so much!!

I recently got the Diamond Facial at Renew MD, and I honestly loved the experience. From the moment…read moreI walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. 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!

TLDR; the location is convenient and staff at the Fremont office are fantastic! They have been so…read morepatient with me and have shared so much wisdom about skincare in general. 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

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??

Unfortunately, my skin had an extremely poor reaction to it and I got acne like I never had before. My self esteem plummeted and I didn't want to leave my house due to my skin condition. Tried literally every product under the sun and nothing ever worked. I decided to give this place a shot, and it's incredible how quickly the results are. You can see photos from my first appointment in June to a few days after to the last week of the month. Lina spent so much time in crafting a dedicated plan for me and she has extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine/practice. I go once a month now for facial/extractions and every three months for microneedling. I barely break out now and my skin has never looked better! I cannot recommend this place enough (Biggest shoutout to Lina and Karen! These women are pros and their work and care sincerely changed my life!!)

I've been coming here to see Karen for YEARS, and cannot believe I haven't written a review yet!…read more Years ago, I had been struggling a lot with adult acne, but was a little cautious and wary of prescription creams & medication. I had also tried various recommended skincare from Sephora and other beauty influencers on Instagram, but none of them seemed to work. On a whim, I asked my skincare-addict friend if she had any recommendations, and she said her friend had gone to this place in Fremont that does acne extractions that she spoke highly of. Before this, it hadn't even crossed my mind to see an aesthetician for my acne. Karen was my aesthetician, and she performed a manual acne extraction + other hydrating treatments afterwards. I'm not going to sugar coat it, the extraction HURTS! But it's only in the moment of the extraction, it doesn't keep hurting afterwards. Karen was as gentle as she could be, but also meticulous. I felt as if she was digging into every one of my pores (in a good way)! After years of struggling with acne, I decided to bite the bullet and just trust the process with Karen. Instead of other facial places, I don't have to pick and decide for myself which treatment I want -- Karen takes in the current state of my face with every visit and suggests the treatment that she thinks is the best. It took a little while to fully see the results, but it was so worth it! After a few months, I already started see a reduction in my normal acne. In around year or two, I not only barely had any acne, my skin was so much healthier, and I swear my pores seemed to have shrunk! This is no doubt a splurge on myself (I now routinely go in for monthly facials), but has honestly been so worth it. I do feel like Beauty Legend uses quality products & technologies, like nice Italian skincare & modern Korean technology/machines. I almost exclusively use their products in my home skincare routine now. I'll try some other products every once in a while, but my skin seems to not like them as much!

I had SO MUCH hair and my hair is 80% of what it was which is insane to think about! THOUSANDS of hairs are completely gone and I couldn't be happier. My results were so good I referred my mom here as well and she has had similar results. Jessica is so kind and so knowledgeable as well. I was really hesitant with electrolysis as first due to scarring or hyperpigmentation but she reassured me with the research and stats as to why those things are uncommon. She also started with a really low intensity setting to see how my skin would react and then slowly built up to my current settings after making sure there were no adverse skin reactions. Her office is also very clean and she uses sterile instruments and gloves which i really appreciate! I had another electrologist say they don't need to wear gloves because the probe is "self-sterilizing" but taking extra steps to be clean is never a bad thing and Jessica takes cleanliness very seriously! On top of all those amazing things, she maintains a friendly and comfortable environment during the sessions! I highly highly recommend her services!

STAY AWAY PEOPLE, STAY FAR AWAY…read more I've written a detailed description of my encounter below but if you don't feel like reading, know that this Doctor has another yelp location that has been reported closed in which the reviews speak for themselves. When your appointment is at 11:45 and it's 12:30 and no one has said anything or come to check on you....... I came in for iv hydration to help nip this cold I have in the bud. This place had good reviews, was open and able to fit me in on short notice. Service from the front office staff was subpar. If the treatment is going to start late or the doctor is delayed, you need to communicate that with the patient, not just keep them waiting while you whisper outside to try and figure things out. Seriously biggest pet peeve ever! But that's not all. Tech inserts iv, all is well until she tapes it down and turns to accidentally yank out my iv!! Oh not to mention she blames ME for moving when she was the one who turned and pulled it out. Are you f'in kidding?! 2nd try, no good. 3rd try, Dr. FINALLY comes in, wiggles the needle around - OUCH!!! Dr. Yanks it out. They talk about my veins and how small they are bc I'm dehydrated. Try's another vein, nope. Moves to other arm, and tries another vein. nope. All the while the tech keeps saying how she had the first vein and I moved and it came out. NO, you turned and pulled it out. B*TCH. Dr. Moves back to other arm, obviously flustered she doesn't take note of the anxiety attack I'm having from being poked (couldn't breathe, pale, lips loosing color), and sticks me and says it's good to go. I tell them it hurts a bit and she says it's fine, so they leave me. 10 minutes in, I look down at my arm to find a SWOLLEN arm, that hurts to touch. I call them in and they frantically turn the nob to stop. They tell me my vein probably ripped and the fluid got in my bloodstream. Didn't take blame that I told them it was hurting and that maybe it was their fault in the first place for sticking it in the wrong place. They refunded my money, and I left still sick and with a swollen hurting arm. Stay far away!!!
