This was my first facial massage so I don't have anything to compare it to but it was such an…read moreamazing experience. I've been under a lot of stress and experiencing lots of jaw pain and facial tension. I walked in a couple minutes early and was immediately greeted at the front desk. The space is clean and minimalist. The bed is very comfortable, heated, and can adjust to better support your back. My technician Lourella was very warm and friendly and went over the whole agenda in the first couple of minutes so I knew what to expect. I loved that they do a simple cleanse first. The massage was so nice and thorough and since I added the buccal massage we finished with that and wow was that amazing. I feel very relaxed and snatched too. After they do another cleanse and your skincare. The heated neck towel was the perfect finishing touch. I didn't to get up! Would definitely do this again and would recommend to others. Parking is a little tight so allow yourself a few extra minutes.

Detoxia is the best LDM in Pasadena!!! I had the pleasure of meeting Becca back when she had her…read morestudio in Arcadia. Her knowledge and background in LDM is top tier and she doesn't BS when it comes to proper techniques. I always have the best experience with Becca and I'm always snatched when I leave Detoxia. The facility is super clean and very aesthetic, her massage room is such a vibe! I'm transported into peace and tranquility once I lay down on the heated cloud soft massage bed. Becca is so fun to talk to as well, I'm always comfortable and trust that the LDM I receive will make me less puffy, bloated, and leaving feeling light. It's a plus that Becca also has experience as an esthetician, part of the LDM treatment includes the face so the products she uses are high quality. What I love most about Detoxia is the technique they use. People get LDM confused with sculpting massages-- proper LDM pressure should never be too hard or cause bruising. I've had that happen at previous LDM's I've tried. The amount of pressure Becca uses is just the right amount, she'll even ask if the pressure she's applying is comfortable for you. Definitely try Detoxia if you're in search of an LDM that leaves you looking and feeling amazing!

TLDR: give it a try! It's a great introductory to laser skin treatment. Do not expect overnight…read moreimmediate results. Staff is great! Don't be late! Let me preface by saying my skin is already pretty good; concerns are light acne scarring and large pores. My skin is clear and smooth for the most part thanks to my acne meds and receiving facials from an esthetician years prior to combat my acne. I saw the ad on Facebook for the first facial laser treatment to be 50$ and figured why not! Seems like a good deal. I was required to fill out medical information prior to my appointment which is standard, I've gotten a laser facial before (4 years ago now at a different place) and they want to make sure whatever you are on medication wise doesn't interact with the treatments. I received text reminders about my appointment and the day of I received a text with instructions on where to park and where they were located. I am familiar with Downtown Pasadena and know it can be a little busy so I made sure to get here early! The place itself is a small office so I can see why being on time is important. The interior was welcoming, the front staff was friendly, the decor is lively with semi private seating areas to have your consultation. I met with Dailee for my consultation and she was really sweet, informative and easy to talk to. She went over the treatments they offer along with membership promotions, it did not feel pushy at all. Bilal was my nurse. He was also informative and efficient in going over what the treatment would do, how it would feel, and how to care for my skin afterwards. Both Dailee and Bilal were upfront on treatments needing to be consistent to see a major difference. The laser treatment itself was very quick and painless. I have tough skin and it just felt like a hot compress was being wiped over my face. Afterwards Bilal rubbed in serum and SPF so I was good to go! For the next 24 hours gentle cleanser, gentle moisturizer and minimal sun contact. I am not able to commit to the memberships or consistency needed so I did not sign up. I also have skincare I already like using so I did not purchase any products. I do appreciated the information on products, treatments, and promotions they offer though, nothing felt pushy. I will absolutely be back to do a more intense treatment for my face and neck.

I got a 3 month package last year during their promotion. Sadly, the sessions didn't do much for…read moreme. I was hoping laser treatments would help with my rosacea. I wasn't trying to treat wrinkles or remove freckles. If anything, the laser worsened my rosacea and made my already sensitive skin more sensitive. The receptionists/sales ladies were always very friendly. However, the main issue I had was the inconsistency with expertise. I had a different technician at every session and received very different information and advice. One technician literally refused to laser my face that day because my skin was already agitated, whereas previous technicians proceeded anyway. Some technicians (including some receptionists) strongly suggested the "duo" treatment, which ended up aggravating my skin and resulted in a couple of surprise zits. Interestingly enough, the technician at a later session told me I should NOT get the duo as it would be too much for my skin and I didn't need it. Inconsistencies. Case in point. So, while I don't think this business deserves a one star review, I do agree that it's definitely not for everyone. I also really disliked being asked to tip at the end of every session. Despite the initial promo, the treatments were still quite expensive. Call me the cheap a-hole all you want, but I never did leave a tip. I didn't get any results. I also don't tip my dentist and those cleanings require more skill.

I recently did microneedling with PDGF with her and she was very proactive throughout the healing process, consistently checking in on my skin, answering questions, and adjusting treatment as needed based on how my skin responded. She also helped refine my lips and I'm genuinely so happy with the results. I appreciated that she really listened to the look I was going for while still being honest, thoughtful, and realistic in her approach. I never felt judged or pressured and she always made the process feel collaborative and comfortable. I also really appreciate that she takes a more natural and balanced approach and never seems to overdo anything. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and their results, not just the treatment itself. On top of that, the space is clean, calming, and welcoming. I'm really happy I found her and I'm excited to continue my treatments with her. I would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable, skilled, and caring.

I'd not had any skin attention for over 4 months and am no spring chicken. It needed a thorough cleaning and some tender care. I love peace and quiet when having procedures. But asked to be told what was going on first time around. So interesting. Many different pieces of equipment. All with different jobs...and all worked very well on my skin. Which Gina was able to recognise and cater for from the outset. So important.
