I am extremely disappointed with my experience at SkinMD. I took out CareCredit for Emsculpt Neo…read moretreatments and saw absolutely no results. Despite the claims on the made during the consultation and the before-and-after photos that were shown to me, the treatment did not deliver any measurable change to my body. What frustrates me most is that I do not feel I was given realistic expectations about the possibility of seeing no improvement. Had I been told that results vary significantly and that some patients may not notice any meaningful change, I would have made a different decision before taking on this expense. Additionally, when I told them I was unhappy with the services provided and ask for a refund or compensated services, they refused and instead tried to get me to pay for more treatments! This was a major financial commitment for me and all for a treatment that provided NO benefit. I would not recommend this place to anyone because they will not be honest with you about the results you will see. Do not waste your money- seek providers who are transparent about both the potential benefits and limitations of the treatment.

It feels like one of those secrets you almost don't want to share because she's that good. I've been to all the "fancy" and overhyped spas in Boston, and nothing compares--those places feel like a lot of promises without results. With Anh, I get instant and lasting benefits every single time. My skin is clearer, healthier, and I've gotten more compliments this year than I ever have. She also takes the time to recommend products that actually work for me, which has made such a difference in keeping my skin on track between visits. If you're looking for results-driven skincare in Boston, this is the place. Anh is truly a hidden gem.

A couple weeks ago I visit SKA Scalp spa for the first time. The space is beautiful, quiet and…read morerelaxing. Overall I found the experience to be wonderful and informative, albeit expensive. I feel that our scalp health is something easily looked over and I was looking forward to treating myself to this service. First, I went over some of my concerns with my specialist and she took photos of my scalp to diagnose any issues. This area is where I deducted a star because a lot of information was being discussed and it was hard to keep track of it all. She gave me a lot of tips and recommendations and I asked if she would be able to write them down for me, but she said they would be in my file. However the file did not really include anything other than the service I was given and recommended products, but not any of the several actions she recommended a incorporate into my routine. I felt this information was a part of the steep price so I would have appreciated being able to have a chance to write it down. After this portion, we went to the spa where I received a head, neck and shoulder massage along with an array of scalp treatments. This lasted over an hour and was incredibly relaxing and worth the money alone. I did not feel it was rushed, she really look her time with each step. After this, she took another round of photos, followed by 5 minutes of red light therapy and some light blow drying. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and while I wont be going the recommended once a month due to price, I will definitely do it once in a while.

We talked about everything from relationships to relaxation to remedies. She started out quite quiet, I assume on my account.

It's tucked away on the second floor of the building and it's a no frills. You will get a high quality facial, but this isn't like your typical high end spa place. Also, the estheticians are more comfortable speaking Chinese, but you can still have a good experience with patience. I usually come here and get the acne facial with an add-on which is usually 75-90 minutes. The facial comes with cleansing, extractions, brow touch up, mask, neck & head massage, and an LED section at the end. There are times when they will leave you in the room while your mask is setting or the LED light is on, but I don't mind it. You also get all of this for a very good price. Overall, I love Rachel and her team!
