My face was in great hands with Tal. Here he is pampering me during my facial. :)
Anna N.

After yesterday's facial with Tal, I woke up this morning feeling glowy and with skin clearer than it's been all month. I actually regretted having to put makeup on for a day full of meetings, whereas, before seeing Tal, I'd have to coat my blemishes in concealer, BB cream, and powder before even considering leaving the house! Tal worked magic on my skin, after thoroughly evaluating my skin type and customizing the treatments he used accordingly. Tal is gentle, thorough, and really listens to his clients. Even though I was at a doctors office, I felt like I was at a trendy, cozy spa, with the extra touches and amenities Tal added, from the hand warming mittens he put on me to seal in the lotion slathered on my hands, to the great choice of music. Tal truly pays attention to every last detail to pamper and treat his clients. I can't wait to go back in a month!

Then she told me that she had just had this new procedure done called plasma fibroblast. Based on how good she looked, I went home a immediately started my research on this little down time, non invasive, non surgical facelift. I started doing the math on down time and how long it'll take to get the best results, I figured March for me was the best time. I called him the following day to inquire pricing and to schedule and within 2 hours he was able to see me. Talk about perfect timing! I showed up to his cute studio and he was punctual. He had a long consultation with me and you could tell right away, he was an artist and loves his craft. Just looking at the dots and application of the pen prints, he aims to hit those wrinkles, lines and scars with every intention of maximizing the lift and smoothness. For those curious, it took 30 mins of numbing cream with a great conversation. Josh is sweet, warm and truly a great listener. 15 min procedure for my under eye bags and crows feet. Few hundred dollars. Second day was the ugliest. I slept elevated and woke up swollen. 6 days of cute grid dots. I definitely looked weird out but I don't care. Day 7 they dried and started popping off quickly. And day 8 was in my finals photo. Still a few left over dots and raw skin. It looks so good to me already, I can't wait to see what 2-3 months will be. Highly recommend Josh and this procedure! Can't wait to hit up this mouth and neck next!

She's very knowledgeable about so many things. She has given me Botox as well as three Morpheus 8 treatments. She made my 76 year old face be as good as it can be.

I always recommend Revive Medical Spa to everyone.

I'm not an influencer and I don't have social media, but I wanted to tell folks on the fence about…read moremy wonderful experience at Revive Med Spa in Mission Valley. I turned 53 in 2023 and people kept asking me if I was tired. I decided that maybe I should try Botox, so I found RN Tracy D at Revive. I explained that I wasn't trying to compete with my 20 year old daughters but just wanted to look rested and refreshed for 53. She totally got it and I've seen her twice a year ever since. Tracy is incredibly talented, patient, kind, objective, and HONEST. She has never tried to BS me and has always been candid about what she can and cannot achieve. She is a rockstar and a good human too. So yesterday (Friday 10/2/26), I was updating her on what she knows has been a tough year or so. I mentioned some additional concerns and she said that I might benefit from filler; and recommended I talk with Breanna. I guess the stars aligned yesterday because Bre had a cancellation after I got done with my Botox. Tracy explained to Bre that now at 56, I'm just trying to look vibrant for my age and less exhausted than I am. I told Bre that I'm on Teams meetings all day and noticed that I just didn't look like myself anymore. She explained the loss of volume and provided a conservative treatment plan. I went for it with some Voluma in my cheeks and skinvive in my parenthesis. I haven't had filler before. I looked normal and natural when I left ... and less tired. But this morning I looked like I slept for a week! In sum, Tracy and Breanna were simply superb. I had been saving money each paycheck for a splurge trip but instead, I spent it at Revive under Tracy and Bre's wise guidance. And I look better than I would have after a vacation! If you're having doubts about who to trust with your face or worried about looking like Kardashian...don't fear - see Nurse Tracy D for expert Botox and Breanna for filler. They will ensure you look like you - just the well-rested version!

Julie is incredibly professional and takes the time to understand exactly what's bothering you before she even starts. We talked through the areas where I was dealing with chronic tension and pain, and she explained how she'd approach the session. The massage was exactly what I needed. She worked out knots and tight muscles that have been bothering me for a long time, but somehow managed to keep the entire experience relaxing from beginning to end. Great pressure, amazing technique, and a smooth flow that never felt choppy or clinical. I signed up for the monthly membership before I left because it honestly offers a lot for the price. The gratuity is already included, you get a complimentary enhancement every month, and seeing the same therapist regularly just makes sense if you're serious about feeling better. I also asked about using my HSA. While they're still looking into accepting HSA payments directly, they were more than happy to provide a detailed invoice for reimbursement, and I appreciated that the owner immediately started researching it after I asked. Julie only sees a handful of clients each day so she can give everyone her full attention. Do yourself a favor and book ahead because I don't think openings will last long. If you're a first time massage client, you'll also get 15% off your first appointment. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing first experience with Sarah, the physician who saved me from my stubborn acne with a quick steroid injection. Honestly, it was so fast and painless I'm mad at mysef for not doing it sooner. Then there's Sam, the patient concierge. A geniunely sweet guy- super talkative, social, and instantly inviting. We bonded over K-pop (thanks to my K-pop themed hat!) and truly might go back just to chat wth him alone. LOL But hey..they also do tons of skincare services...so I definitely have to go back! Pros: * Friendly, knowledgeable staff who explain everything clearly * Quick and easy acne steroid injection (10/10 would let Sarah poke me again) * Sam - so pleasant and such a sunshine (Bonus points for being a K-pop lover) * Cute, inviting studio vibes * Plenty of parking (a rare luxury) * Fair pricing and no pressure to buy any products * Wide menu of skin services (I'll definitely have to make a consultation) Cons: * What cons? Other than it might be a future addiction! Overall: Highly recommend Radiance Wellness for a genuinely delightful spa/med experience. Great first impression!

I was really disappointed with my first experience at Radiance Wellness, especially because I was…read moregenuinely looking forward to learning more about lip filler. I booked a "New Patient - Filler" appointment through their online booking system, which showed $0 at booking. The description mentioned a comprehensive facial assessment and customized treatment plan but did not disclose a consultation fee. I was also asked to provide a credit card, and my confirmation email referenced a $100 cancellation credit for appointment changes made within 48 hours. When I arrived, I specifically asked the front desk whether my appointment was a consultation. The employee explained that I hadn't selected the consultation-only option but said he would update it. However, he never mentioned that this change would result in a $100 fee. The PA-C I met with was genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and informative, and I appreciated her taking the time to answer my questions. I was primarily interested in subtle lip filler and getting a quote, so I was a little surprised when chin filler was also recommended. While I understand that providers may suggest treatments based on facial balance, I wasn't looking to explore additional procedures and felt somewhat upsold. They also took photos for reference in case I decided to return, which I appreciated. It wasn't until after my consultation that I was informed of the $100 fee, which could be applied toward future services. To make matters worse, I was mistakenly charged $200 instead of $100. When I returned to the front desk, the staff apologized and explained that an employee had made an error. I was told the $200 would be refunded and that I would be charged the correct $100 separately, leaving me with $300 in charges on my card while awaiting the refund. Afterward, I reviewed their booking system and noticed a separate "Medical Aesthetics Consultation Without Treatment" option that explicitly disclosed the $100 fee. I recognize that I initially selected the filler appointment rather than the consultation-only option. However, I specifically clarified this at check-in, and the additional charge was never communicated before my consultation began. My frustration isn't about paying for a consultation. I understand that medical professionals deserve to be compensated for their time. It's about transparency and communication, especially when I made an effort to clarify my appointment beforehand. It's unfortunate because I genuinely appreciated the PA-C and had a positive experience speaking with her. However, the unexpected fee and billing error overshadowed what could have been a great first visit. I hope Radiance Wellness improves its communication around appointment types and consultation fees so future patients know exactly what to expect.
