I found Serene through an amazing Groupon deal for laser hair removal. I was at first going to get…read moremy laser done at Laser Away since there's so many locations but they nick and dime you to death there. It's $300 for underarms there for 5 sessions meanwhile Serene was around $80 for 6 SESSIONS! I also got Brazilian done for 6 sessions as well, $170! The staff at Serene are so welcoming and so so sooo sweet. I have thick Asian hair that grows fast. I used to have to shave twice a day. My hair would grow back within hours. Going to music festivals and the beach was such a nightmare since I'd feel insecure of my hair growing back even after shaving. I saw improvements after my first session only. I went from shaving daily to BIWEEKLY! Even after 2 weeks there wasn't even much to shave. I am so happy with my decision to get laser at Serene. On top of laser they do offer other services such as Keloid shots. I had a bad infection on my shoulder earlier this year which resulted in a keloid scar on my shoulder that bothered me. For $80 per shot I was surprised with my results in just one session too! My scar is now significantly more flat by at least 60%. Irene is so knowledgable and fun to talk to. She always makes sure I feel safe and comfortable and overall just makes me visits even better.

I recently had an Erbium laser with Ashley whom was professional and knowledgable. The best part is the numbing because I didnt feel one bit of the laser. She also suggested PRP which is supposed to help with healing and my skin peeled off by the 3rd day. By day 4, my skin was good as new. Easy, fast results, and now I'm ready to go to my event tomorrow. I would easily do this again. My skin feels like new. Ready for my next session!

TL;DR: Paid $3500 for CO2 laser but was given a different laser without consent, with no eye…read moreprotection. Heavy upselling, and they tried to make me sign away my review/legal rights before refunding unused services. Would not recommend! Back in February I found JT Aesthetics through a Google search after loving the results of a CO2 laser treatment I'd had in 2025 at a different medspa. I used to go to a medspa in Yorba Linda for facials, botox, & treatments but since I now work in the IE, driving back out to OC wasn't practical anymore. So I searched for medspas in the Corona/Eastvale area that offered CO2 laser, messaged JT Aesthetics on Instagram, and one of the owners, Tina, confirmed they did. I booked a consultation and a treatment for that following Thursday. At my consultation, i met with an Ashley who is their esthetician. She recommended a plan: 3 CO2 treatments ($3,500, discounted from $4,500), 3 chemical peels ($1,200), and a Rejuran add-on ($900) -- total $5,600. I declined the peels, but Ashley pushed for at least one facial after my first treatment ($400, "discounted" from $500). I've had plenty of facials and knew that was steep, but she insisted it would really benefit my skin, so I gave in. I ended up spending $4,800. The treatment itself, done by a nurse also named Ashley, went smoothly, and she made me feel comfortable. But that night, I reflected on the appointment & noted differences from my 2025 CO2 treatment; less sting, a much faster tempo, and no eye protection. I texted them the next day asking if I'd actually received CO2. They didn't respond until I followed up again, and when they did, they confirmed I'd received Erbium YAG instead, framing it as just a "more gentle and precise" resurfacing laser rather than acknowledging it wasn't what I'd paid for or consented to. I was upset, but decided to give them a chance and continue, since I did like the results & had already invested so much money. At my facial, Ashley did a decent job, but it didn't feel like a high-end facial, she played music on her phone & the wipes she used on my face after certain steps felt rough and smelly, almost like paper towels (I'm used to soft sponges). Afterward, she pushed hard to sell me two more facials for "just $600," approved by her manager, then a basic facial for $250 after I declined that too. It was clear their focus was on the next sale. I left with a bad taste in my mouth and dreaded coming in for my next laser appointment Two weeks later, at my second Erbium YAG treatment (still being called "CO2"), I met with Jennifer, the other co owner, she offered a $600 VAMP add-on, which I declined , she then sent Ashley(esthetician) in to pitch it again after I'd already said no, I declined a second time. While prepping me, Jennifer mentioned putting on eye protection "even though this laser is super gentle," which reminded me they'd never actually addressed my earlier question. I didn't push it in the moment, but I photographed the machine and looked it up that night. That's when I learned eye protection isn't just necessary for this laser, skipping it is illegal. At that point, I knew I was done with JT Aesthetics. I requested a refund for the unused portion of my treatment plan ($1,166.67), and they made it difficult; insisting on a refund protocol that required me to come in person, even after I explained I wasn't comfortable returning and that CareCredit allows remote refunds. When they finally agreed, they sent me a settlement agreement to sign first, waiving my right to leave a negative review or pursue any claims over injury, which felt especially unacceptable given I'd been treated without eye protection at all. I refused to sign and filed a dispute through CareCredit instead, this time for $1,750 (the unused portion plus half of the first treatment). JT refunded me directly once the claim was opened for the $1,166 amount, and that case closed. Since then, I've gone back to my old medspa in Yorba Linda to continue actual CO2 laser treatments. It's a longer drive, but it's worth it to be somewhere I feel safe and where I trust they're actually looking out for my skin, not just the next upsell. Bottom line: This felt very transaction-first, not patient-first, like I was a walking dollar sign, not someone they were invested in helping. I'd steer clear.

Came into The Cara Wellness Initiative and the owner, Althea, recommended the immune boost infusion. It was pretty effective! My allergies seemed to improve right after the infusion and the days following. My nose was tickly and sneezy no longer! Other than the effectiveness of the infusion, her little clinic area - which is in the Aspire building - was very clean and comfortable. Since I work in health care, I find this to be very important and something that I look for right away at any place I visit. After she connected the infusion, she set the ambiance and music so that I lean back on the super comfortable chair and relax. It took about 45 minutes for the infusion to complete, which I believe should be the average for most people if it's going by gravity. They have other IV infusions that I might check out later on. This is the first time I've done an IV infusion therapy, and I'll come back here if I need one in the future since I had a very positive experience here!

She's very accommodating and all the suggestions she made helped to speed up the healing process.

I have been sending my teenager to her place to due to teen acne. Her facial studio is very calming and clean. Good relaxing music selections. I have tried too many places (LA-OC-IE). Nothing worked for my acne. Many places just want to sell products without caring if what they sell actually works. Many did painful extraction which made it worse for my skin and actually spreading the bacteria. Nadine communicates with you and will gladly answer any questions and concerns about the skin care regime that is especially set for your skin problem. The best in the IE.

Mary Grace took me in even though I didn't realize they were actually closed today Life has been a roller coaster these last couple of months, and I've been doing my best to keep my head high. I shared a bit about my trip with her, and she had exactly the right words for me, words I truly needed to hear. I haven't been emotional at all through everything I've been dealing with lately, but in that moment the tears just started falling. She asked if she could pray over me. As a believer, I said yes, please. The prayer she prayed over me my trip, meeting my family, my life was one of the most beautiful and meaningful prayers I've ever experienced. I was full on tears. I've also been dealing with recent anxiety episodes (1st time in my life) something I've never experienced before, and she prayed over that as well almost as if she already knew. The moment she finished, I felt this huge sense of relief and peace wash over me. It was honestly incredible. She told me I was meant to come see her today and I truly believe that. Mary Grace, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I will absolutely be back and will stay in touch.
