You want the best, then Rica is your lady! I've been coming to Rica for years, even following her to SDBotox, because she is honest and amazing at what she does. I have never left her office not laughing while feeling better both physically and mentally! I'm in my early 40's and have started to struggle a bit with melasma and while I have a great every day routine. I recently added in the MediGlow Fusion microneedling and this is the holy grail! After a single session my face is even more radiant and my melasma is already breaking up and the spots are softening. For being a no makeup sort of gal - this has been the best investment yet. My parting words - bring Rica, Skinmedica Advance TNS serum and the MediGlow Fusion into your life and you will never look back. No bull! Photos on left from mid Jan2026 and right is from mid Apr2026 with the below regimen and one MicroGlow Fusion session. Morning - Skinmedica Advance TNS serum, Even & Correct Advance Brightening Treatment, HA5 Hydra Collagen and a 70 SPF mineral sunscreen. Evening - Advance TNS serum, Even & Correct Brightening pads, AlphaRet Overnight Cream. read more

SDBotox - Carlsbad - Skin Care Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I had such a positive experience at SDBotox! I went in for a consultation with Victoria Graaff, and she made me feel completely comfortable from the start. She explained the difference between Botox and Dysport in a way that was easy to understand and really listened to what I didn't like about my last treatment somewhere else. I loved that she told me how it could have been fixed -- but more importantly, how she would approach it to avoid those issues entirely. I decided to go with Dysport and had no issues at all. The whole team was so kind and helpful -- they even set me up with Aspire rewards points and gave me skincare recommendations tailored to me. Overall, such a professional, thoughtful, and smooth experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

Had an awesome visit at SDBotox - Carlsbad! Gabriela greeted me with a smile when I arrived and checked me in without hesitation. She was so friendly right from the start! Rica was my nurse practitioner who did my Botox. She went above and beyond to educate me on the dosing, muscle strength versus treatment and what would work best for symmetry on my face. I truly appreciate how knowledgeable she was. She was warm, personable and offered me a full face consult if there were areas that I wanted her opinion on that I may have not noticed. While checking out I met the manager Sam who was also in the lobby and he started to chat with me about some of his favorite skincare products. It was so personable and didn't feel rushed. The office space is cute as well and located right next to Trader Joe's which was perfect because I was able to run in and grab some groceries while I was there. All in all had a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, educated and the office has a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be back! read more

I feel very lucky to have found Rica and SD Botox in Carlsbad. The team was so welcoming and Rica could not have been more patient as I babbled through my laundry list of questions and areas of concern. I so appreciate her skill and conservative approach. I'm very excited to try other treatments beyond botox here (laser, Sculptra) and feel I can truly trust Rica to make the best recommendations. I loved my last provider but could no longer handle the drive down south and am so glad to have found this Carlsbad gem of a team! read more

Easy to book. Great prices and even better technique. Natural results. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

I cannot say enough great things about my experience at SDBotox! I felt welcomed from the moment I inquired over the phone, the girls in the call center were very knowledgeable and had answers to all my questions!

Victoria did my very first lip filler. It went so well and I love the results. Fast, easy and fairly painless process.

Rikka was so amazing!! Made my first time at sd Botox quick and comfortable. Was so kind and knowledgeable.

Great experience. My injector made it fast and easy! Excited to go back in a couple months.

Rica is great!! I trust her with getting Botox and also injectables, highly recommend!!

I followed Rica from her last spot, because she does amazing work. She makes me feel comfortable, spends time with me answering any questions and importantly to me, I trust her to tell me what treatments are NOT a good fit for me. She's not just chasing the sale, she clearly cares for her patient's outcomes. I like her so much, I actually referred my boss to her this morning! read more

I love SDBotox at Bressi Ranch location. It is very easy to schedule appointments. The stuff is very helpful. I'm 54 years old, and one of the best experiences I've had with a cosmetic care was with Rica Davis. I am with Rica for years. Rica is very professional, confident, and knowledgeable. I've had Botox and lip fillers done with Rica. I can't say enough how happy I am to look in the mirror after the procedures she's done. She does everything very quickly, professionally, and flawlessly. The only thoughts that come to mind as I write this review are: "If you're looking for an excellent specialist, look no further, you've found it, and it's Rica!" I can't recommend enough her to everyone, including my family and friends. 5+ stars! Yana read more

Rica is the best for Botox. Pricing was only problem and being a new place they have some kinks to work out.

I having been using Victoria for the last 3 years now. I could walk to SDBotox in PB but its worth the drive to Carlsbad for her. She is patient, fair, honest and Naturally Beautiful! You would never leave her dissapointed. read more

Natalie helped me with dissolving filler. She saw the vision I had and saw that the previous filler I had could have been done differently. She heard exactly what I wanted and was looking for. She got the old filler out and gave me a lip flip and I have exactly the look I was looking for! She was so patient and kind. She knew I was nervous about the pain and she was in and out before I knew it with such skill. I could not recommend her more. read more

Rica was so amazing!! She walked me through everything and has so much knowledge and advice! Love the vibe there, super welcoming!! They were also very upfront with costs and there were no surprises and no pushing into things I didn't want!! Will be going back for sure! read more

Saw Nicole at the SD Botox in Mission Hills. She was extremely nice, informative, and did an amazing job with my Botox. When she administered it was literally like butter, leaving zero bruises on my face. I let her know what I was looking to do (forehead and eye lift on sides, and this is the next day. Will definitely be going back, and highly recommend. Thank you Nicole!! read more
