What initially felt like an insecure, over-the-top male indulgence has become a simple quarterly routine, made comfortable and easy by Veronica. Even though I only see her every three months for Botox touch-ups, she always remembers me and treats me like a valued client. Every visit, she is diligent, precise, and takes the time to make sure everything is done correctly. It never feels like she's just trying to rush through another appointment or get me in and out the door. On top of her professionalism and attention to detail, Veronica is genuinely friendly, personable, and makes the entire experience comfortable. And for those who are nervous about needles, don't worry--she'll hand you a stress ball and use a little fan that somehow makes the whole experience feel a lot less dramatic. If you're considering Botox and want someone who truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work, I highly recommend Veronica and Destination Aesthetics.

WHY I WENT HERE: - husband's gift to me for my birthday…read more- first facial ever! THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - years ago I remember passing this establishment as I drove by when we used to live in Arden; the old location was next to Temple Coffee off Fair Oaks Blvd and Fulton Ave - when I arrived I didn't remember this address and the receptionist confirmed to me upon check-in that Organic Skin Studio moved to this location a few months prior - new location off University Ave has a lot of parking; the studio is closest to the street so you can choose to park on the street or in the parking lot and walk up to the building/suite THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - very spacious and bright! spa vibes for sure THE (SERVICES) MENU: - botox specialist - microneedling - sofwave treatment - laser treatment - dermal filler - classic facials - facial balancing WHAT I ORDERED: - Luxurious European Facial CUSTOMER SERVICE: - great automated communication (email and text) upon booking for appointment confirmation, forms to fill out prior to appointment, appointment reminder, and receipt - because the appointment was made with a card on file the service rendered was able to be paid (along with tip!) - my esthetician was amazing and very informative and helped me have a relaxing experience

Very attentive with any issues or concerns I had about the procedures & definitely approached it in a way where it was clear that my aesthetic goals (particularly with the Botox and filler) were achieved. I was very pleased with the results of all the procedures.

I've been going to Angell Medical Spa for about a year, and Alexa has taken care of me for most of…read moremy visits. I initially came in for help with redness and uneven skin texture after previously being on Accutane. From day one, Alexa has been incredibly helpful and thorough. She took the time to understand my skincare routine, concerns, and goals, then recommended adjustments where needed. I eventually purchased a package of three microneedling sessions with PRP. I was nervous because I have a low pain tolerance and, ironically, I'm not great with needles, but Alexa made the entire experience so comfortable. During every session, she was reassuring, calm, and gentle. She made sure I had calming gas to help me relax and continuously checked in to see if I was comfortable or needed a break. Alexa also explained everything she was doing, from adjusting the needle depth to targeting specific areas with PRP based on my skin concerns. I really appreciated how informed and cared for she made me feel throughout the entire process. I've now completed all three sessions and have seen a significant, lasting improvement in my skin texture. I'm already considering additional sessions! I've also started masseter Botox to help relieve my TMJ symptoms and create a slimmer facial appearance. I couldn't recommend Angell Medical Spa and especially Alexa, enough!

I've been seeing Dr. Angell for years at this point, so clearly I'm all in on this place. I'll…read moreshopped around a lot before settling on trying out this clinic, and it was the only place that made me feel comfortable and like I wasn't about to be taken for a ride. Dr. Angell doesn't care about making money off of you. She cares about your aesthetic goals, and the best way for you to achieve them, even if it would mean a loss for her. I went in initially for a lip flip and forehead Botox, and she essentially said she could do it, but I'd get the best results from a lip lift, which is surgical and permanent. Every other clinic I went to told me that I'd need 4-8 units for the flip and 1.5-2 vials of filler to get the results I wanted, which is just an obvious cash grab. Dr. Angell and her staff actually listened to me, understood what I wanted, and didn't try to oversell me on anything. That was enough to cement that this is the place for me. There are so many other reasons to love this place. The decor is tasteful, it's always clean, the staff is SO nice, and my results are always perfect. I've had issues with Botox migrating in the past, and that has NEVER happened here. I've also never even bruised, even when I decided to dabble in lip filler. It also doesn't feel like you're in a sterile doctor's office (even though you technically are in a doctor's office), and I feel like I'm just talking to my friends. The last thing I'll touch on is my incredibly horrible needle fear. I know it's strange to get injectables when you have a full-blown panic attack getting your flu shot, but I'll tell you, these people take CARE of you. My first appointment, I was literally sweating, crying, and on the edge of passing out, but they literally held my hand throughout and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. I know it seems silly, but I've never felt more supported in a medical setting. The laughing gas doesn't hurt either, but I'm so comfortable there now, I don't even need it and don't cry! So, it's a little bit of exposure therapy tossed in as a freebie! I know this is long, but I could seriously go on forever about how amazing this place is. If you try it out, you will end up with amazing NATURAL results. I'll close it off with a story. I seriously won a bet at a dinner party when a gal who was talking about celebrities with cosmetic enhancements said, "Everyone who gets stuff done is so obvious. I can tell immediately." I mentioned that work is only obvious when it's bad, but good work is something you'd never notice. I bet her that she couldn't tell who had gotten anything done at the table. She guessed the people with obvious work, but I wasn't on her list. She said, "You just look young because you have great skin." I literally had to show her my receipts to prove it. Part of me thinks she still doesn't believe it, but that's the kind of practitioner you want in your life.

This review is well overdue, but I ran across the owners page lastnight through Chef smellys page…read moreand I thought "omg that's her, she had the absolute best energy and service!" My boyfriend and I came from Oakland to both do a Steam back in late December for my birthday. I originally put down a deposit for a party of 4, but my girls couldn't make it so he went with me and the owner was so accommodating when I called to tell her day of. I am so happy that I went because it was more than just a steam experience, it was like a spiritual experience as well. Bambi facilitated our experience and she was just so dope!!! Her introduction was everything my partner and I needed to hear about this spa/act of self care and healing. It was sooo good that I purchased 2 gift cards at the end for my mother and my sister (I still need to nudge them to go). Pros- I didn't feel cramps and noticed I didn't pms for 2 cycles after my period Cons- it was a lil too hot (but technically that's not up to them. you can easily give your self as many breaks or steam for as little as you want and I think for my first time I forced myself to stay put with my legs up the whole time thinking I could reap more benefits and it was a little OD lol) and my vagina felt a little dry for 2 days after but then everything was back to normal I will definitely be back when I'm in town.

She has an exceptional eye for detail, balance, and enhancing natural beauty without ever making you look overdone. What I appreciate most about Kate is her thoughtful, personalized approach. She takes the time to listen, understand your goals, and make you feel completely comfortable and confident in her care. Her knowledge, precision, and attention to detail are unmatched. There is something so special about finding an injector who understands that aesthetic treatments aren't about changing your face, but about celebrating and enhancing what makes you uniquely beautiful. Kate understands that perfectly! Pretty Please Aesthetics is an absolute gem, and Kate is someone I trust with my face wholeheartedly. I couldn't recommend her more highly. If you're looking for beautiful, natural-looking results and someone who genuinely cares about her clients, Kate is your girl!

Not a single bad experience in all these years! Now my husband is even interested in a treatment after seeing how great they are after driving me there a few times and that man has a never been interested in skincare till visiting their facility! (He's a freckly redhead and is realizing the consequences of no spf on his skin type). Kate usually does my xeomin injections and knows I have anxiety and I feel like she can read when I'm anxious and when I'm not and she acts accordingly, so I always feel safe there. I've gotten xeomin from other injectors there and can say the same about them as well. Taylor recently gave me the most relaxing custom facial and my skin was glowing (not to mention getting me to relax like that is no small feat lol). I'll be booking another for sure. And their membership program is awesome. I do the lowest tier starter membership and it still saves me a ton of money totally worth it!!

If I have ever been less than satisfied with anything, because let's face it we're dealing with things that respond differently with each individual and thus not always exactly what we expect right away because it looked one way on another, I have merely followed up and given the clinic the opportunity to help resolve it. In other words help them help me. I have never trusted anyone else more with my face more than I have with Rebecca's facials and Dr. G's injections. I have taken advantage of all of their services and benefited greatly. I have read peoples comments about not getting desired results in 6+ sessions of laser yet with only 3 sessions completely spaced apart I have seen great change.

I had my first visit in February. It was literally my first visit to a med spa and I really wanted…read moreto try microneedling with prf and undereye prf. My visit was fine. It matched my expectations. I had paid for my services online ahead of time. I was told not to do that again because they can meet or beat the price in the center. Cool. I pre-paid for 3 more sessions. My overall goal was to do a monthly session for all of 2026 and then space them out to every other month in 2027 to reach my goals. My sessions in March and April were uneventful. I did notice that whenever I had the "salesperson" from my first visit, my total for undereye prf was more expensive. But, whatever. I also bought on a few add-ons that were recommended. Such as the tinted sunscreen, anica gel, and face masks. My last visit was booked for May. I work a 15 min drive away. I always leave 30 min ahead of time to account for traffic, the parking garage and all that. I did the same in May. Unfortunately, there was an accident on the freeway. Traffic was completely stopped. I called the number in the confirmation texts and let them know I would likely be 15-20 minutes late. I explained I totally understood if I had to reschedule. But, I didn't want to keep driving there if I wasn't going to be seen. I could get off at the next exit and just go home. First, they couldn't find my appointment. Then, after a brief hold, they did. They said it was absolutely not a problem at all. They would see me soon and to be safe. I arrived. Parked on the third level of the parking garage, tried to open the door and it was locked. I then ran down three flights of stairs and then up the elevator. I stood behind a couple of ladies checking in, and interrupted the ladies working's conversation to check in. Immediately they said I was 22 minutes late and would not be seen. I said I called, they left a note. The lady said that was the call center and they don't get to determine that, but she'd talk to her manager. After a few minutes, she came back and said the manager said no to microneedling (my prepaid service), but could do under eye. I said no thank you and said that was incredibly frustrating that their back of house is wasting my time. Eventually, the manager was available, after I could see her watching the conversation from the hallway. She explained that I could possibly still do partial services, if we rushed to the back right now. I explained I didn't want rushed services or partial, but I did want to communicate that there should be a better system in place. I don't think she was actually listening. Eventually she said I could do microneedling, but it would be a long wait. So, we went from rushed to waiting (which I normally do here anyways). She said she was willing to offer this because I was upset. I declined. I confirmed my prepaid services were transferable. She offered a credit on my account to compensate for my experience. I booked my services at the Walnut Creek location. There was no credit added to my account. And, truly, this experience on Alhambra ended up being a blessing. The experience at the other location felt luxurious. It felt genuine. It was like night and day. While I haven't decided yet if I'm on the search for an entirely new provider or not, I know for certain, this location for sure lost my business.
