I've been going to Uptown Medispa for about 3 years now and recommend this place for your Botox/Dysport needs. I've used Kristen and Deborah and both are great. Prices are very reasonable and the office is a nice escape from reality for a few minutes. read more

Danielle was great with my teen daughter. Scheduled another appt to come back. Prices are reasonable.

I've been coming here for a few months and have received facials, dermaplanning, Microneedling, etc. Staff here are thoughtful genuine and realistic about recommending services. Rylee has done most of my services and is the most down-to-earth girl I've ever met in this line of work. I get great results and always enjoy my experience! read more

Kristen does an amazing job, is very professional, and the results are fantastic. I recommend her to all my friends and family and can't wait for each appointment! read more

4.7 stars technically--I'll explain why below! Let's start off with my prior experiences getting Botox and lip injections--I've been to Le Bisou Medspa (Paradise Valley) for both a year and a half ago, and Affiliated Dermatology (North Scottsdale) for Botox about nine months ago. Both experiences were very subpar for different reasons--Le Bisou Medspa surprised me at the end with a 20% tip request/expectation and I was very angry about that--normally for "medical procedures" that's not usually requested, or so I thought. An extra hundred dollars just for a tip! I even called afterwards to ask about it and they said yes, it was normal to tip someone for Botox/lip injections. Affiliated Dermatology put WAAAAY too much Botox in my forehead; it wouldn't even move afterwards. Both were Groupons, so perhaps that's what to expect. I wish I would've known what I know now earlier, which is why I'm sharing on Yelp! Don't buy Groupons for either of these products--just go to someone who doesn't upcharge you (like Kristen) so you end up paying the same amount for quality service. **I asked Kristen in the beginning about gratuity, and she told me that tips are NOT expected for medical services. I was very appreciative of this. She said a lot of people ask and I think it's important that businesses and medspas are upfront about this additional cost.** Now on to Kristen with Uptown Medispa--an entirely different and much better experience. Kristen was very knowledgeable about the products and how they affect my face. She talked about my face muscles and the correct places to inject--the reason Affiliated Dermatology essentially froze my forehead in place was because the product was applied far too low, and too much. Kristen only did eight units in my forehead, whereas AD did twenty! That was the first sign I knew I was in capable hands, and someone who wasn't trying to upcharge me to make money. Secondly, with the lips--we went with Restylane Silk, the more expensive option ($550/syringe versus Juvederm at $475/syringe) because she said it was the most natural-feeling. The injections hurt a little, but she used a lot of numbing cream so it was very manageable (a bikini wax is MUCH more painful, if that gives you a gauge of pain levels). **I liked that I was able to show Kristen pictures of lips I wanted to emulate and she talked about the shapes and different injection sites to get that look. For instance regarding my top lip I like it to "bow out" a little, and she explained exactly where to inject to achieve that style. I felt confident she knew what to do!** It's been two weeks later I did just go back for more Botox in my forehead (it did move a bit more than I wanted--she added five more units), and more in my lips because the first time around looked essentially the same from one syringe. I was disappointed as the first appointment cost approximately $700, which ain't cheap! But this time around Kristen said we could try another syringe of the Restylane L, which is a firmer material (same price). It's been a day since my appointment and my lips look MUCH fuller. So I want to caution anyone looking into these treatments that it's a trial and error situation in the beginning--everyone's face muscles and lips are different, and you need to try out different amounts to see what works. Better less than more in the beginning! Overall if you are wanting a noticeable difference in your lips and have never gotten injections before, go with TWO syringes ($1100 or so), and choose a material that is firmer. The other thing is that the lip injections are supposed to last a year or so, but if you get another injection six months later (or something), the product builds on itself. Thus if you don't have the look you like right away, you can achieve it over time without shelling $1600 straight off the bat for three syringes or something. All things I wish I knew in the beginning. One "con" if you want to call them that--Kristen had a very sweet woman in her room who is shadowing to learn about the field. *I* just personally don't love someone staring at my face while I'm having it injected, so this is why I've rating Uptown Medispa 4.7 stars. No issue on Kristen's part, I understand this is all part of the business and process, but I would prefer my appointments to be private. That's just me though--not a huge deal at all. Overall, Uptown Medispa has been my best experience with lip injections and Botox in the valley. I will be going here again. read more

Kristen is so nice, knowledgeable, and good at what she does. I use the monthly dermal facial club and started Botox recently. Very happy with the price and service. read more

I am very happy to have found the Uptown Medispa. I am new to the area and while I have always taken very good care of my skin - I feel like it is time to step it up a notch. I had my first microneedling appointment with Danielle yesterday. She is gracious, talented, and I feel secure in her hands. She is very down to earth and there was no hard product sell. I signed up for the monthly Derma-club - which is unlike me - because the price is right - and it is an indulgence with results that can be seen. Who doesn't want to be their best self? read more

I got a chemical peel & agave lip treatment with Kristen. This was my first time in & everyone was so great! I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

As a woman in her mid 50's, it was definitely time for me to start with better maintenance of my skin. I did my online research and decided to see Kristen for a couple sessions of micro-needling. Kristen has a patient and straightforward manner, and her treatment room is immaculate. Her experience as both an aesthetician and a licensed nurse gives her the knowledge and experience to deliver good results- which is exactly what I got! The texture & luminosity of my skin is much better. I've also had Kristen do dermaplaning in-between my microneedling sessions, which takes off a lot of dead skin and is part of a wonderful facial. Uptown Medispa prices are very fair (I don't have a lot of expendable income for beauty treatments), and I've already recommended Kristen to a few close to friends and family members. And unlike some other businesses on Yelp, Uptown Medispa does NOT give Yelpers a discount for writing a good review. I wrote this because I rely on fellow Yelpers candid reviews (often), and I can honestly recommend this business to others. read more

Highly recommend! I have seen Kristen and Danielle for different treatments and they are both skilled, kind, and conscientious. My skin is ridiculously dry and sensitive and since I have been going to see them, it looks so much better! I have never really had regular facials or demaplaning and wow, what a difference. I have been on the monthly dermal plan for the last five months, which is the best deal around. Check it out. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Came here for my first peel, Kristen was wonderful! She took the time to explain everything and made me feel very comfortable.

Kristen is amazing. She is extremely knowledgable and took a comprehensive approach to address all of my skin needs.

I love the way my skin looks -- definitely will be back for continued treatments! read more

Kristen is the absolute best. I was so nervous and she immediately put me at ease. I love my new look! Thank you Kristen.

Amazing experience! I was impressed from the moment I walked in. The suite is beautiful and has a very calming, clean environment. I was taken promptly to a room for my appointment. Kristen was my practitioner. She was extremely knowledgeable and I immediately felt at ease and confident. She talked to me about my wishes and her recommendations. I felt no pressure at all. I will definitely be returning. I've visited many medspas and this by far was one of the best experiences I have had. read more

This place is great! Kristen is friendly and patient...she is so knowledgeable about skin care and provides excellent service! Her hours are flexible and she followed up with me a few days after I had been to her office to see how I was liking the service she provided and if there was anything I needed, which I greatly appreciated! The results I got were better than anywhere else I have received the same services, so I will definitely be returning to see Kristen! read more

LOVE Kristen and Uptown Medispa. She is incredibly knowledgeable and really stays on the up-and-up with the latest and greatest injectables and skin care. I've been in the skin care industry since 1998, so believe me when I say - she really knows her stuff! AND, I've been doing Botox for 10-ish years and every injector says they'll give you a brow lift...Kristen really gave me the best lift I've ever had. Like ever. We definitely be back. Again and again and again. read more

Amazing care and products! The derm club is a great way to treat yourself each month!

Kristen is the only person I trust with my face. She is always professional, honest, and reasonable with her pricing. I never feel like she's just trying to sell me on a bunch of crap that doesn't work that I don't really need! She holds herself to a standard far above most professionals and she is continually meeting that standard and looking for ways to improve herself, her brand, and the experience of her clientele. She is truly remarkable in her field and I would 100% recommend her to anybody looking for an honest, reliable MedSpa. She's the best, hands down. Go see for yourself! read more
