    First visit with Melody. This was considered one of my "good days".
    Michelle T.

    If you're looking for an esthetician Melody is THE ONE you need to go to! I've been coming to Melody for about over a year now and have been raving about her to all of my friends and family! I've been to so many different estheticians and have tried every type of skincare recommendations yet my skin was never able to clear up and was SO SO sensitive. I had severe acne/ irritation and had gone on accutane but my acne came back 4 months after finishing accutane. The first picture is the first day I came to visit Melody -keep in mind that current skin condition was on one of my GOOD days. Second picture is from the most recent appointment I had with her. I am a little pink/ irritated from extractions. Last picture is my current skin to just show how SMOOTH it is. I've always had texture and never thought it would be possible for me to achieve that boiled egg/ glass skin complex. Melody is extremely knowledgeable about acne prone, rosacea, eczema, sensitive skin. She is the REAL DEAL. For the longest time I just accepted that my skin was just extremely irritable and sensitive. Every esthetician (facial, brow tattoo, lip tattoo, lashes) has told me I was the most sensitive-skinned client they've touched... Even tapes and pads used for lash extensions irritated my skin!! Slowly I came to accept that my skin was just extremely acne prone and sensitive UNTIL I met Melody. She CHANGED my skin (and my life lol). I don't remember the last time my skin has been this clear. Trust the process. I'm so much more confident in my everyday life. Trust me, you want to go to Melody. She has so much knowledge about skin and is always learning about new information/ techniques!

    This place is amazing! I can't recommend it enough, I've been coming here for over a year. I book with Ellie everytime, she is amazing and has truly transformed my skin! During covid my skin began breaking out constantly, I blamed the masks. It was very frustrating dealing with acne for the first time in my life and then the horrible scarring afterwards. I tried every viral product out there but finally gave up and decided to try skin technology! I am so glad I did! I've tried various facials and treatments here all dependent on what my skin needed. I began with chemical peels for my acne scars, the microdermabrasion, and hydra facials. They are all great but the important part is to stay consistent! It can be costly but I spent more money buying useless products that didn't work trying to remedy my acne myself! I used to struggle covering up my scars with foundation and now all I use is a tinted sunscreen!

    Melody is like the best friend you always wish you had. When I came in for my first consultation she spent almost an hour with me before our first session just talking with me about my skin and skin care routine. She was dead honest about some of my bad hygiene habits and underperforming products that resulted in my terrible skin quality. Ever since going off birth control a few years ago my skin has been a mess. I have oily skin and had a constant rotation of cycaitc acne, white heads, and black heads. I always thought it was just hormones and out of my control. However Melody assured me a lot of my biggest insecurities about my skin were manageable...and she was right! I completely surrendered to Melody's advice and put my skin 100% into her hands, and I don't regret it for a second. I'm almost embarrassed to show these pictures but I'm so much more confident with my skin now that I'm happy to share. The photos were taken at my first appointment, and 4 months later. No makeup, no products, no filters. I'm a tad bit tanner in the latest photo but I can HAPPILY say my acne has cleared and my scars are fading. My skin is SO much smoother and my complexion is far more even. With patience, lots of water, and Melody, my skin is slowly getting back to its happy place. Melody is the holy grail and my secret weapon. You won't be disappointed, just don't forget to give your skin some time. Miracles don't happen overnight.

    I've been coming here since April 30, 2025, and I honestly can't say enough good things. I first…read morecame in with active acne, dark marks, and scarring, and from the beginning I felt genuinely cared for. Every provider here is wonderful I don't recommend one specific doctor because they are all amazing. My treatment plan was very thorough and thoughtful. We started with oral medications, skincare routines, and facials, and my doctor took the time to try different oral options to see what worked best for my skin instead of rushing the process. Once my acne was under control, I moved on to laser treatments to help with scarring and pigmentation, and the improvement has been life changing. This place truly feels like a second home. Every single provider I've seen has been kind, patient, and knowledgeable, and you can tell they genuinely want the best results for their patients. I also want to give a special shoutout to Marisol at the front desk, she is honestly the reason I love coming in. She is so patient, welcoming, and kind, and she always makes my day better the moment I walk in. Little things like that matter so much. They even have snacks and drinks, which just adds to how comfortable and welcoming the environment feels. I've attached my before and after photos because the results speak for themselves. I'm so grateful for this office and everyone who works here.

    The front desk experience was extremely disappointing…read more My first visit to this clinic was actually very positive. My insurance declined the payment at the time, and Dr. James kindly gave me a discount to help me out. That left such a good impression on me that I continued coming back afterward. Even when I previously had an allergic reaction to medication prescribed here, I chose not to complain because I trusted this clinic. So when my lips suddenly became swollen this time, this clinic was still the first place I came to. Unfortunately, this experience felt completely different. The front desk staff simply kept repeating that I had to pay $150 and made no effort to communicate my situation to Dr. James. Ironically, when I explained my insurance situation to the doctor directly, he did try to check for me. After my surgery, I still had questions about the procedure itself and wanted to briefly speak with the doctor again, but the front desk just told me there would be post-care later. I understand doctors are busy, and I was completely willing to wait. I had just undergone a small surgery, asking to briefly speak with my doctor should not feel like asking for a special privilege. Her tone makes me feel like I need her approval and she is the security to guard the doctor. All of these was not an issue when I was in the DTLA location, the doctor always follow-up a little bit when I check out and both the cashier and front desk are friendly. Costa Mesa and DTLA locations gave me completely different experiences. After being a customer for years, what disappointed me most was that the attitude only became nicer after I expressed how upset I was. Why I should even have to argue with her when my lip is still numb? If the front desk staff's role is mainly financial and they do not have basic people skills, then they should not be in a front desk position at a medical clinic. A professional front desk staff member should at least show some level of care and empathy toward patients, especially patients who just underwent a small surgery and are already stressed or uncomfortable.
