    The things we do is a company founded and ran by an all women team. This particular location is located in ROW Dtla. I came here for consultation and watched a live demonstration on Botox and acupressure. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff were very friendly and accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had the privilege to speak with Aziel and Ana Maria who answered all the questions and concerns I had.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also had a tour of the facility which although was small but very clean.

    the best place for skin care and skin tools

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]My favorite go to spot in downtown LA for self care, thoughtfully created skincare and tools with amazing providers for treatments.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My favorite treatment here is PRFM and microneedling with radio frequency, it's saved me from wearing as much makeup or foundation. I'm here every 3-4 months for Botox with natural looking results, all the medical providers are amazing -- Kelly, Kelsey, Steff, Christine and Janet! They all have a soft touch, are so knowledgeable and experienced. Aziel also gives the most incredible facial. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is so kind and welcoming, I love it here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    As an 18-year Stage IV Lymphoma survivor, trying to bring my skin back from the ravages of chemo is real. I've done my fair share of facials, treatments at home, and some at different skin studios, but I've found a warm and cozy home at The Things We Do. It doesn't hurt that they are just a few blocks from my apartment at the ROW DTLA. I first went to purchase their Dew & Go at-home micro-needling stamp and was so happy with the results, that I decided to go FURTHER. Since then I've fallen in love with PRFM/Micro-needling and Steff is absolutely the QUEEN. My results over the past five months have been incredible and I'm a SUPER FAN!!! Do yourself a favor and check them out!!

    Thank you Christine

    Christine is the best! She set me up with a excellent and effective face regiment and took all my skin tags away. Now we are working on the dark spots! This changes everything. Thanks to Christine I now have a plan for skincare and feel confident getting ready in the morning. Love you so much

    Healing time!

It was the best facial I've ever had in Koreatown. Michelle's professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience so relaxing and enjoyable. When I looked in the mirror afterward, my skin was literally glowing! I met up with my friends after my facial, and they gave me so many compliments on how smooth and radiant my skin looked. I also want to mention how friendly and professional the staff was, especially Jennifer. She was so knowledgeable and had such a bright, welcoming personality. I loved how clean and beautifully decorated the spa was. I've already booked my next facial because I can't wait to come back. I highly recommend visiting Gloria Skincare!

    I wanted to give another koreatown spa a try, but this wasn't great. The front desk staff were very…read morefriendly, welcoming, asked me how I found the place. But then when I got into the actual facial procedure, it didn't go so well. I was assigned someone named Kyung. She used the needle/lancet A LOT. I had maybe one stubborn, deeper pimple, but the fact that she used a needle to puncture and squeeze a bunch of spots caused a lot of scarring/hyperpigmentation that's taken me over two weeks now to exfoliate and get rid of, and its not yet near to being clear. If their smaller ones that can be squeezed then a lot is normal- but the needle was used probably over 20 times. Not only that, but every time she spoke, it was always an attempt to get more money. First, it was asking if I wanted to buy a package or some sort of membership. She asked twice and kept on being pushy as she was doing the procedure. Next, she asked me to tip at least twice as well, and reminded me several times, even got the physical sign with her venmo/PayPal and showed it to me, to make sure I understood. Note that maybe had we made other small talk, then maybe, just maybe the way she was so pushy and trying to get more money out of me would be fine, but it was really every moment she spoke was an opportunity to get more money. It's a horrible feeling. That said, I wouldn't recommend trying, unless perhaps you're fluent in Korean and could veer the conversation to other things or speak more firmly when sold to.

    I honestly don't even know where to begin because five stars doesn't feel like enough. Finding her…read morehas genuinely been one of the best things I've done for my skin. I originally came to her because I had a ton of milia, enlarged pores, and wanted healthier skin overall. I can honestly say my skin has never looked better. I don't break out anymore, my pores are noticeably smaller, and every single time I leave an appointment my skin is glowing. It genuinely looks like I have no pores when I walk out. Her extraction technique is unlike anything I've ever experienced. She's incredibly gentle but so thorough, and somehow I've never been left with scarring or unnecessary irritation. You can tell she's invested so much into her education and has learned techniques from all over the world because her work is on a completely different level. Beyond her talent, she's just an incredible human being. Every appointment feels like catching up with someone who truly cares about you. She gives the best advice, celebrates your wins, encourages your goals, and somehow always knows exactly what you need to hear. As a mom herself, she's also given me so much advice that's helped me through motherhood and pregnancy. I've walked in stressed more times than I can count and always leave feeling lighter, more confident, and with glowing skin. She has become so much more than my aesthetician she's someone I genuinely look forward to seeing every month. If you're thinking about booking with her, do it. She is worth every single penny, and I truly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my skin.

    I had a disappointing experience here, which is unfortunate because the facial itself was great…read more I was initially quoted $350. During the service, everything was great until we got to extractions. After already going past 15 minutes, I was told there would be an additional $50 charge for "extra" extractions. This was not clearly disclosed beforehand, and I felt put on the spot to agree since the service was already in progress. The final total came out to $400. After the facial, I was shown "premium" products and told the total would be around $1,000, which had never been discussed. I explained that I could only afford around $500, and I was considering a selection of products within that range. However, when I asked whether one item, specifically an SPF, was necessary, the tone shifted. I was told there was no point in continuing to go over products if I was not going to purchase anything and that we "were not a good fit," to which I agree, but not because I asked questions or was unwilling to buy. As a result, I chose not to purchase anything and canceled the next appointment. I left feeling dismissed and unwelcome. As a young client still in college, I would have expected a more understanding and respectful approach rather than pressure. Overall, the lack of professionalism made this an uncomfortable experience.

    This review is so long overdue as I've been coming to Irene Skintopia for three years now, and I…read morehonestly can't say enough good things about this place. When I first came in, my skin barrier was in really bad shape from trying way too many products and doing way too much to my skin. They told me my skin barrier was super thin and needed a lot of TLC. After consistently coming here for the past three years, my skin barrier is SO much stronger, my skin is clearer, and so much more glowy. I only wear a tiny bit of concealer in my day to day and get SO many compliments on my skin now. This was not the case before and I owe it all to Joy (my facialist)! Joy is my facialist, and she is truly the best. I absolutely love seeing her and look forward to every facial. Her treatments feel like a combination of a lymphatic drainage massage, extractions, and LDM all in one. It's so relaxing, but at the same time, I always leave feeling like my skin has actually been taken care of and reset. She knows my skin so well and always knows exactly what I need. Anytime I have an emerging pimple, it completely disappears after my facial because of her work. I also get microneedling here about once a month or every other month, and it has completely transformed my skin texture. I really appreciate that they don't just do the same thing every time, they look at what my skin needs and will add things like red light therapy or whatever they think will help with healing and getting the best results. I also get Botox here, and this is genuinely the best place I've ever gone for Botox. I've had some pretty bad Botox experiences in the past, including in Korea, where I really hated how it looked. At Irene's, my Botox is always done very conservatively and naturally. I still look like myself, just more refreshed. And to top it off, the entire staff is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and I especially love seeing Irene and Edward there. Every time I walk in, they greet me with the biggest smiles, and they are just the sweetest, nicest people. You can really tell that everyone here genuinely cares about their clients. After three years of coming here, I truly trust Irene's Skintopia with my skin. They've helped me repair my skin barrier, keep my skin clear, improve my texture, and maintain results that still look natural. It is worth every single penny, and I'm so grateful I found this place. I recommend them to everyone!

My skin has become much more hydrated and has a healthy glow that I didn't have before. What I really appreciate is that even though I'm on a set treatment plan, Kelly still takes the time to check my skin each visit and makes small adjustments or suggestions based on how my skin is doing. When my skin is acting up, she also explains things clearly and has even looked at the skincare products I use, going over ingredients and what might be working or not. You can tell she is very knowledgeable and cares about helping you understand your skin. The clinic is always clean, relaxing, and welcoming, and everyone there is very kind. I keep going back because I trust them, feel comfortable, and I've really seen consistent results.

What impressed me the most was how carefully they analyzed my facial expressions before doing anything. They didn't just inject in the usual spots. They actually asked me to make different expressions--raising my eyebrows, frowning, relaxing my face--and watched closely to see exactly where the muscles were working. Based on that, they explained where Botox would help and, just as importantly, where it was not necessary. That level of detail made me feel very comfortable because it was clear they were focused on natural results rather than simply using more product. I especially appreciated that they were conservative and thoughtful with the injections. They avoided placing Botox in areas that didn't truly need it, which made me feel like I was in very honest and experienced hands. Another pleasant surprise was how little the injections hurt. I was honestly expecting it to be more uncomfortable, but the technique was so gentle that it was much easier than I imagined. Overall, the entire experience felt very professional, careful, and trustworthy. If you're looking for a place that takes the time to understand your face and aims for natural-looking results, I would absolutely recommend them.

Most of the heavy lifting were done by machines and less manual. It was good to try but it did not meet expectations.

    This was probably the best facial I've ever had. I booked the appointment three months in advance…read morebecause I wanted to come with my two best friends for a girls' day, and that was the earliest they could fit all three of us at the same time. Worth. The. Wait. We arrived at 9 a.m., and they asked us to use the restroom first since the VIP treatment is a full two hours. Now... let's talk about the only downside: the bathroom. It's a shared restroom in a strip-mall situation, and whew . It smelled rough. That's clearly a building maintenance issue, not the business, but trust me, use the bathroom at home before you arrive. I'd heard a lot of people say the lymphatic drainage massage was painful, but that wasn't my experience at all. There were a few tender moments, but I have a pretty high pain threshold, and even then, it wasn't bad. The most uncomfortable parts were the machine on the back of my arms and the manual extractions on my nose. Everything else? Honestly felt great. This was my first time trying dermaplaning, and I was nervous I'd accidentally start a lifelong face-shaving cycle. Kaila immediately put me at ease and explained it wouldn't happen, so I trusted her, and I'm so glad I did. My face has been glowing and feels newborn-baby soft. I keep catching myself in the mirror like, "Damn... I look GOOD." She had your girl feeling herself. I already booked my next appointment for April. Also, my jawline was SNATCHED for at least two days after. Angles, honey. Tips: * Use the restroom before you arrive * Ask for Kaila when booking * Bring cash for tips and tip at least 20% because it's that amazing 10/10, no notes (except the bathroom ).
