Josha was incredibly informative throughout the process, and I loved how relaxing the entire experience felt. After the Reve Peel, Josha explained the benefits of different treatments, describing the Viva treatment as more surface-level. However, to improve my skin fundamentally and make it healthier in the long run, he recommended the Venus Microneedling series. I was a bit skeptical at first, but Josha's knowledge, patience, and thorough explanation convinced me to trust him. The Venus Microneedling treatment involved four sessions, spaced about a month apart. After completing the treatments, I saw fantastic results. My skin feels thicker, clearer, and healthier overall. I used to avoid looking at my skin under bright light, but now I feel differently--my skin looks brighter, more even-toned, and much healthier. Even my husband noticed the difference and commented on how much more radiant my skin appears!I can't recommend Josha and SkinLab enough.

Susan's facial is truly wonderful and her positive energy adds so much to the experience. I had an…read more80 minute facial and it was one of the most relaxing treatments I've had in a long time. The facial focused on detoxifying the face using a jade gua sha technique, which noticeably reduced puffiness and inflammation. The ear lymphatic drainage was a unique touch that made a visible difference. The session also included a relaxing hand, shoulder, neck, and foot massage. Susan uses Murad products and my skin felt refreshed and radiant afterward. The heated bed was incredibly comfortable and the private setting made the experience even more restorative. Extractions were gentle, so if you're looking for something more aggressive with a lancet or needle, this may not be the place. But for a soothing, high quality facial with real results, this is a standout.

[Review #688] 2022 Yelp 100 Challenge (9/100)…read more I've been a client of Susan Halpern since 2014 when she worked at Murad Inclusive Health Spa (refer to Review #111) where I first started my recurring monthly facial treatments in 2002. I lost touch with Susan after the spa closed, & it took me another 5 years to find & reconnect as a client of Forever Young By Susan in 11/2020. Her "studio" is located in The Face Place & More Skin & Body Care, sharing the space with Linda Hirsch, Cloud 9 Massage, SkinFX, & Advanced Skincare By Marilyn. Services include anti-aging/acne facials (Luminesce, Acne Complex, Sun Undone, Resurgence, Back, Youth Building, Chinese Gua Sha, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, Men's) & waxing (Chin/Lip/Sideburns, Brow/Underarm, Traditional Bikini, Playboy Bikini, 1/2 Leg, Full Leg/Back/Chest). The facials are customized to client's needs & 50+ min. facials include additional services. I used to alternate between Luminesce, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, & Resurgence as a Murad client. Since reconnecting, I've been booking the CHINESE FACIAL GUA SHA (detoxification of face, neck, & shoulders with special jade gua sha technique; combats aging, reduces inflammation & puffy eyes, decreases pore sizes, help speed up cell regeneration, reduces stress) on a monthly basis to clean my face healthy & glowing. The daily life workload & stress, in addition to COVID-19, I really need this monthly getaway, even if it's just a small fraction of time. I'm usually just on time or a couple minutes behind, Susan always opens & greets me at the door with a smile (a huge + in my book that I'm not delayed because that cuts into my paid time)! =) The space is private -- just us -- but I always wear my mask & make sure I'm healthy before going even if we're vaccinated & boosted, & there's a temperature check at the entrance. The intimate room is clean & well-organized with dimmed lighting, comfy & warm bed, & relaxing background music to promote a serene & zen treatment. Before starting, Susan did a thorough analysis (to make sure this is the best facial for my current needs). As mentioned in the previous review, a good esthetician should recommend a different method than your standard MO because your skin changes with age, sun exposure/the elements, etc. Susan ALWAYS does just that at each appointment, adjusting the technique, timing of each process, etc. And if you're a new client, she explains what product & process in each step. At times, I don't even have to point out the problem areas because she spots these changes under the magnifying glass & adjust the treatment to rebalance & rejuvenate my skin. Sometimes Susan focuses more on my face, & other times when I'm rather stressed/tensed, she spends a little more time on the mini massage to remove the kinks & knots in my shoulders & neck. I'm highly sensitive to touch (= extremely ticklish), yet she skillfully maneuvers over these stress points with ease without my breaking out into delirious laughter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Only 1 other professional, Francine (also from defunct Murad), was able to give me a massage without me squealing or squirming. Under Susan's proficient care & deft hands, the extraction process was minimal in discomfort that I can nap through the facial process when I'm tired. Most recently, I've been awake through my facials to chat in Cantonese. It's so nice to find someone who can speak the language so I can strengthen my Chinese roots, help me with common idioms & phrases, etc., bond over upbringing & familial care, etc. =) Comfort, quality, & care is what Forever Young By Susan is all about. Susan incorporates Eastern & Western techniques to detox & take care of the my skin issues that leaves me with dewy, glowing skin! I highly recommend Susan for your facial treatments. So sit back & relax... you're definitely in good hands (pun intended). ;-)

I had an outstanding experience at SkinSpirit Manhattan Beach, and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, the entire team was welcoming, professional, and attentive. The space itself is beautiful, clean, and calming it immediately sets the tone for a high-quality experience. Jasmine, my aesthetician, was absolutely phenomenal. She took the time to truly understand my skin goals, explained everything clearly, and tailored the treatment specifically to me. Her knowledge, confidence, and attention to detail immediately made me feel comfortable and in expert hands. What really sets her apart is her ability to combine results-driven care with an incredibly relaxing, personalized experience. I left feeling refreshed, confident, and genuinely amazing not just because my skin looked great, but because of the overall care and energy she brought to the appointment. It's rare to find someone who delivers both technical expertise and such a positive, reassuring presence. If you're considering SkinSpirit Manhattan Beach, I highly recommend booking with Jasmine. She is exceptional at what she does. read more

M-29- Rosacea and Acne Met with Montana for broad band light session it was my first ever. The office is super clean and the front desk woman (didn't catch her name) is great. She rescheduled a couple times for me due to me being in the sun and was super accommodating. She was able to get me in earlier and when I sat down had water for me and walked me through the process. Montana is amazing and will be going back to see her for more treatments. She knows a lot about each product and is super personable. Overall really enjoyed the experience and prices are really fair and they have newer machines. So the trade off is usually you pay less but get a machine that is 10 years old. They have good pricing and newer machines. Loved the experience and thank you to Montana and the front desk woman who I will get her name next time. read more

But I always end up making the crazy drive through yucky traffic BACK to Dr. Yu to properly address things. After resolving my concerns with my under eyes, she then transitioned to another treatment for me which was separate from this. But minutes later, she went BACK to my under eyes after noticing something she felt could be enhanced a bit more. Yay! When I asked if the separate treatment could successfully accommodate a tiny adjustment, she was gracious to test it out, and we were successful! When everything was done, she handed me the mirror, I looked, took a sigh of relief and said "Ahh I feel so much better" My review could stop there, but more needs to be said! I noticed that Dr. Yu doesn't bring ego to her office. She brings care, detail, and patience. I will also add that she is conservative in her approach which is a HUGE plus for me. Her office staff is also incredibly professional and I always feel taken care of when I come here. As a woman of color, I especially appreciate feeling heard while having my experiences and input taken seriously. And for two years, Dr. Yu has CONSISTENTLY measured up, while being SO patient, understanding, and detailed with her services.

I tried the Lutronic Ultra Laser for collagen stimulation and honestly, I was SO impressed with my results. I had two eczema spots on my face that came out of nowhere a few months ago. I had been using prescription ointments to try to get rid of them, but nothing was really working. So I was honestly shocked when they were gone after my first treatment! I also noticed my skin had this healthy glow about a week or so later. My skin just looked and felt better overall, which I definitely wasn't expecting after just one treatment! I will say, the first 3 days your face can be pretty red. I even had little red bumps all over my cheeks, and I was definitely questioning myself for a minute. But by DAY 3, it had completely cleared up--and looking back, it was ALL WORTH IT! So just prepare to be out of the sun and stay at home for 2-3 few days after the treatment. They recommend 2-3 additional treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for the full results, so I'm excited to see how my skin continues to improve. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back next month! I honestly can't recommend Swae Med Spa enough. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A BEAUTIFUL GLOW and clearing my eczema.
