I've been receiving facials from Dara for several years now, and there are numerous reasons why she…read moreis the only aesthetician I continuously trust with my skin. Not only is she a pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable aesthetician who provides the best massages (I never want it to end!), but she also takes the time to research ingredients in skincare products before using them on her clients. Additionally, she is very thorough in her technique. She is the only aesthetician I've been to who will extract every comedone! I always leave feeling like I'm on cloud 9.

Hands down one of the best facials I've ever had in my life. Dara is a true professional and you…read morewill see results! She starts by talking to you about your skin concerns and and then does a complete analysis of your skin as she starts cleansing. Taking into account your concerns with her observations, she tailors the facial to address both. She cleanses and exfoliates a couple times and includes really indulgent masks that feel luxurious on the skin. She also gets elbow deep with her extractions, and times herself each time to track the progress of your skin and its resilience. Having started monthly facials with her several months ago, I have seen a noticeable difference in my skin. It is brighter and more even toned and my pores along the bridge of my nose have shrunk (something I have only experienced with chemical peels). The Yonka skincare line that she carries is a really effective brand to incorporate at home in between your facials. Make an appointment with Dara post haste if you want a noticeably softer, smoother, and younger appearance. You won't regret it!

I began laser treatments with Masami approximately four months ago - I wanted my (many) fine…read morelines/wrinkles diminished as well as my "Hawaii" sun spots lightened/removed. I had been using retinol serums (both over the counter and prescription) for years but the redness and skin irritation from the retinoids wasn't resulting in any significant positive improvements. During my consultation, Masami explained the process, showed before and after photos (anonymous) and discussed her credentialing. (Note that she is conveniently located in Waikiki in an urgent care clinic - the room she uses is extremely private.) She did not oversell her services or products - she was very matter-of-fact, discussed my responsibility (sunscreen and hats!), and was extremely knowledgeable concerning skin care (and she has absolutely gorgeous skin btw!). She was clear that I would need to come every couple of weeks for 7+ treatments to see good results. I've just completed visit 8 with Masami. My treatment includes a laser treatment of my face followed by a Vitamin C treatment. I also have the tops of my hands treated with the laser. The visit lasts approximately one hour. The room is pleasant, soothing music plays and the treatment is so painless I tend to drift off (a nice afternoon nap with benefits!). My skin is not red or painful when finished - I can immediately run errands, etc. I am seeing good, gradual results - my skin is definitely smoother, my spots are lightening, and the lines are diminishing. Masami takes photos at every session so we can track and assess progress at the beginning of each session. After finishing my first 7 sessions, I signed up for a second set of 7 - the progress is gradual but it is pleasant (and easy!) progress for me - NO reddening, peeling, irritation, chemical injections, etc. I now use only soap to wash my face (inexpensive powder soap recommended by Masami) as well as a high-grade petroleum jelly on my face if any moisture is needed (also recommended by Masami) - no more expensive products or dermatologist visits, etc. Seriously. No more products. I'm continuing the treatments and will post photos.

She was…read moreso gentle and patient and explained to me about skin and also products that are not good for skin. Maybe surfactants are in products to fuse water and oil and these are very harsh on the skin.

The laser treatment also was helpful in healing the melasma. It did not hurt and the Vitamin C treatment after was very soothing. I had no redness. I wish I lived closer to Imperial Facial so I could come more often! Thank you Masami!

I came in for a facial, already telling myself, "You're not gonna relax, you never do." Yeah, well... joke's on me, because five minutes in and I was practically melting into the table. Angela has this calm, soothing voice that could probably convince a tornado to chill out. She was so patient and thoughtful and really took her time to look at my skin, asked questions, and explained what she was doing in a way that didn't sound like a skincare lecture. She even gave me personalized tips and product recs that made sense for MY skin (and not like those "just buy this $300 serum" kind of suggestions). And let me tell you... when I looked in the mirror afterward ... WOW!! My skin was glowing. Like, actually glowing. Soft, hydrated, smooth! I legit caught myself touching my face all day and even in the days after. I haven't seen my skin look this good in forever. Angela's the real deal!! She's patient, knowledgeable, and seriously good at what she does. If you've ever wanted a facial that leaves you looking and feeling like you've been on vacation (minus the plane ticket), book it. Just do it. You'll walk out wondering how your face ever survived without her.

I have found neurotoxins (Botox-letybo- Juneau) as low as $6 and daxify $7, from very good businesses. And 3 syringe fillers $660. The sales are out there!!! 2. They have you place lidocaine on a popsicles stick so you can put on yourself either in the waiting room or the bathroom/ how turn and burn is that? You'd think with HIPPA they would give you some privacy and anonymity. 3. Roughly 2 years ago give or take, they went through a number of nursing and support staff, they gave me double the amount of GLp that I was being prescribed. I know this for a fact as I am fully aware (now) of dosing and measurements. I was scarred at the injection site, had huge side effects and they took no accountability; rather they blamed me. (Use IVIM or HERS) When I asked the first time they told me I didn't understand how they added b-12 and other things to the formula so the dosage was always different -nope!!! They had to many staff in and out. And they completely dropped the ball between pass offs from the person who checked with me, the second nurse who gave me the vials, then the dad who had me pay- all in the same room with glass case and the payment desk. 4. When addressing the 2 scars they did 2 microneedling sessions (about 10 minutes) and amber thought 2 -3 more would probably take care of it, but wanted me to pay for the sessions out of pocket. Even though I was an established client for various treatments. And it was their inattention to detail that cause me to scar at injection site All in- I think I gave them close to 8k. Had my cousins and my mom go there because I thought (at the time) they were well priced and seemed like decent Christian people. Now I think they are all about money; and to use a restaurant phrase "turn and burn" . I think they get clients in and out, rushed through- with little care or concern- because the entire family takes a salary, mom -dad-daughter and son in law. Now I am aware there are many other great med spas that offer similar or even better values. You don't numb yourself, and they give you time-detail- and even "free touch ups"; not to mention time to discuss concerns or how to move forward feasibly with a budget in mind I hope others had a good experience, this review is very late because I was waiting for a family member to finish their pre paid banked units. Dr. Schaefer is very personable and she's very nice when in the chair, but the business model and the way they treat their good customers who have valid complaints or issues are just horrid! I now go to Sakura Aesthethis and they are much much better

When I walked to the front to pay I was told 3x that price, over $300. Obviously I was shocked and objected, but I was met with a condescending tone. I was told that there must have been a misunderstanding on my part and that I was told Botox units. Even though I was Sure I clarified the dose and pricing prior to injection. The women continued to repeat herself over and over in a rude manner stating there was nothing she could do and that technically I was given $5 a unit but for 60 units not 20. So beware they dose in Botox units no matter which product they provide to you and even if you clarify the price and dosing they will change it on you before you check out. This is deception marketing. This strategy is to confuse you and require you to do the math at bedside to figure out your actual cost. Huge disappointment. Extremely embarrassing situation that they exploited. This is suppose to be a treat.
