    Cindy K.

    I got the QCW with Dr. Suzuki about a month and a half ago. I found out about her from Tiktok in March of 2020 but was hesitated to make the trip to Irvine as I'm from NYC. After a few years of waiting and seeing other testimonial videos on both Instagram and Tiktok...I decided to do the BFF deal with my friend to get it done! I couldn't be happier in my decision to finally do it. I had a remote consultation with the doctor who was very accommodating and sweet. Her staff was just as easy to work with and schedule my surgery date. The recovery and pain was really nonexistent. They give you laughing gas/nitrous and apply 4 shots to each eye to numb it. The most painful part was the shots to the eye area. Besides that you just felt pulling and pressure. The whole eyelid procedure took 20-30 mins. They give you a mask, pills, & eye drops with the recovery! The pills and mask are an extra cost but def is worth paying. I feel much more confident and happy about my results! Have 0 regrets and would recommend to anyone.

    5 days after the procedure

    I spent over $4,000 at this clinic last year, and all I got was regret, uneven eyelids, and endless waiting. I went in for the QC triple procedure hoping to get a more defined eyelid crease since I naturally don't have one. I told Dr. Shonan I wanted a bigger crease -- but as a doctor, her job isn't to just blindly follow instructions. It's to advise and guide patients toward what will actually look good. She didn't do that. She just did what I said. I understand that it was my fault for thinking that bigger eyelids would look good on me, but as a doctor, she didn't say anything to stop me from doing it. Her employees said I look great after every procedure. I'll leave it to you guys to see if I look great. My left eyelid came out way bigger than my right. When I complained, she blamed it on ptosis -- instead of taking responsibility for her work. Didn't she know it before the procedure? She did. So we redid the right eyelid, and I STILL looked awful. Zero improvement, zero accountability. They didn't charge me for the redone. But it gets worse: every single time I had an appointment -- especially on procedure days -- I was forced to wait 30 to 60 minutes past my scheduled time. When I finally asked why, her staff admitted that "she has a busy schedule and can't be on time." Seriously? I'm spending thousands of dollars and I can't even be treated with basic respect or punctuality? Eventually, I paid another $500 out of my own pocket to have the stitches removed and went to a new surgeon for blepharoplasty. That doctor actually listened to me, gave honest advice about what would look good, and the results were night and day. Dr. Shonan should not be offering cosmetic procedures if she can't deliver results, can't manage time, and can't be honest with patients. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Save your face, your time, and your money. I paid for the QC TRIPLE option, which is significantly more expensive than QCW, because it's supposed to use three sutures for better, longer-lasting results. While they didn't explicitly promise permanent sutures, the fact that my eyelids were already drooping in just four months is unacceptable. On top of that, the shape of my eyes ended up looking drastically different from each other. PLEASE don't spend your time replying my review. It already happened. You can't fix. Spending your time on the understanding what patients with ptosis need or patients who have uneven eyes really need to fix their eyelids.

    I had the pleasure having my QCW procedure done by Dr. Yoko & the staff here at Shonan Beauty. Everyone was very nice and heartwarming from the beginning, in between the process with superb job from the marketing team, shoutout to Konrad for his spunky personality, allowing me to be myself in front of the camera, his work was outstanding. Post procedure was painless, little to no bruising, minimal swelling with great results! I can't thank the Shonan team, especially Dr. Yoko enough. She is honest, straightforward, and she will recommend what is best for you. My advice is don't hesitate, trust Shonan and Dr. Yoko in helping you boost your confidence, do it for you, life is too short! I am marrying the love of my life in a week and this couldn't have been a better wedding present for myself, thank you again Dr. Yoko and the entire Shonan Beauty team.

    pre-procedure eyes. right lid occasionally loses the crease and becomes monolidded but otherwise looked fairly fine

    i waited a few years to write this review as i just ended up forgetting. i got the qcw procedure done and honestly i regret it. my eyelids were a little uneven before(one eye would sometimes go monolidded) and i wanted to fix it with this procedure but ended up making it a whole lot worse. the concern about the uneven eyelids were brought up at the one month check-in but i ended up being gaslit with various excuses saying it's just swelling or that my eye shape is uneven to begin with so symmetrical eyelids were not possible(this had not been brought up during consultation. had it been, i would have opted for traditional blepharoplasty as my goal was even eyelids). overall, it's not too terrible of a result since i didn't want a large crease, but it's still a noticeable difference that i will eventually still have to spend money correcting via other means. i had stated my goal in the initial consultation and were that not possible, i should have been informed of such. book at your own risk.

    I saw the ads on Facebook and was intrigued by Dr. Suzuki. I always wanted double eye lid surgery but was always afraid of scarring and how long the recovery process took. But my eyes were looking tired, droopy, and the tape method I had been using since middle school just wasn't cutting it anymore! I decided to book a consultation just to see what it was about. I thought I wanted Forever technique but ended up choosing QCW. The clinic is clean and the staff incredibly professional and kind. I had my procedure a few weeks later and went through final looks with the doctor just before. She recommended we go wider due to swelling, which made me really happy. I wanted to go as wide as possible. The procedure itself was uncomfortable but was relatively quick. It's recommended that you ice and sleep elevated to help with swelling. I was able to go back to work right away, and even went out with friends the following day. So far, the results are extremely natural. I look more alert, and I can actually use and play around with eyeshadow - something I could never do before. I am super happy I got this done and my one regret is not getting it done sooner. I highly recommend Dr. Suzuki and her team to get you the prettiest looking eyes!

    Pictured: top is before, middle is immediately after, and bottom is one month after.

    Had the best experience doing the QCW procedure with Dr. Suzuki. I only wish I did it sooner. I can't stop staring at my eyes finally being perfectly double eyelids! Thank you for giving me some extra confidence back. I highly recommend going here. Pictured: top is before, middle is immediately after, and bottom is one month after.

    day 4 with makeup (slight swelling still)

    I did the QCW and like many, was nervous before the procedure but the office staff and Dr. Yoko took their time answering my questions and making me feel comfortable. I opted to do the procedure the same day as my consultation so my friend drove me and picked me up, took a little over an hour for everything. The actual procedure itself was fast, about 20 min after consultation with the doctor as she shows you different options for your eyes. Through her expertise, I decided on taper method. In the OR, she injects numbing medication on your eyelid and that's probable the most painful part. Initially afterwards my left eyelid felt very scratchy and doctor flipped my eyelid back over to ensure there was nothing sticking out. I would say the first day was the most uncomfortable with blinking, I had mild bruising and moderate swelling for a week and then mild swelling for two weeks and after that, everything looked normal. I've been complimented by how natural it looks and my mom and aunt are now both interested in the same procedure. (some photos of the immediate days following procedure to capture swelling progression)

    I had such a lovely experience at Shonan Beauty Clinic. I came here with a girl friend and we both were greeted with complimentary bubbly drinks and açaí bowls. We were attending an event, so we received goodie bags with small sample lotions. I honestly felt so spoiled! We were able to enjoy our complimentary goodies in the cute studio/photo room where they took our before and after photos. This room has professional lighting set up, a pink flower wall and a pretty vanity. We were able to get tons of cute photos here! My esthetician was Tiffany. Tiffany was very sweet and asked me questions to help me determine which facial I needed. This was my first ever facial and I got the Deluxe Hydra Facial. She offered me an adjustable spa wrap to wear and a head band. The bed they have you lay on is cozy and they cover you with a sheet. As we were doing the facial, Tiffany would explain to me what products she was using on my skin and the benefits of the products. Tiffany was a total professional and talked me through all the steps and we addressed my dry skin/problem areas. In the end, I got to see all the gunk that came off my face. The entire facial was relaxing. I can see why people choose to come regularly. I will definitely be coming back. I recommend Tiffany as your esthetician. Also, I'd like to add that since the facial I've worn less makeup because of how amazing my skin feels.

The staff did an initial skin consultation and were respectful when we declined to upgrade the service. I brought my fiance in to redeem a microneedling treatment Groupon. He has never had any facial treatments at all so he was very nervous. Tina helped apply the numbing cream beforehand so it was not too painful for him. Mireille helped him relax by explaining everything and we all discussed food spots in the area. Her friendly demeanor definitely helped create a calming environment. Although she recommended 3-6 sessions, I do think I see a minor improvement after this first one. Mireille gave us advice on follow up care and we purchased a face mask ($12) before we left. There is a $50 appointment deposit but it is refundable if you cancel early enough or you can use it to pay for your service, buy products, or leave a tip. As other reviews mention, there is free parking near the location but the spots are limited and unlike others I did have to circle around the block before a spot freed up. My only complaint about this place is the automated texting line. It is terrible.

I was referred by my close friend who has come for full body laser hair removal and she's completely hair-free, so I knew I was coming to the right place. Prices are so good. I went to another laser place prior and not only were the prices extremely outrageous, but they also used older laser technology that made every treatment significantly more painful. I even ended up with a burn on my bikini area from that clinic. When I came to LA Beauty Skin Center, the nurses were so attentive and caring, they took the time to examine it and recommended a cream to help it heal and remove the hyperpigmentation. I've now had three treatments here, with more appointments already scheduled. Their newer laser technology makes a huge difference. The treatments are much less painful, appointments are quick, and the staff always make me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Ani, who took care of me today, was the sweetest and funniest ever. She made my appointment so enjoyable, and I felt lucky to have her as my provider. I'm from Los Angeles but spend a lot of time in Dallas, Texas, for work and school. Even with the travel, I can confidently say I'll continue booking a flight back to LA every six weeks just to have my laser treatments done at LA Beauty Skin Center. That alone says how much I trust and recommend them.

I immediately reached out to her and she acted nonchalant promising me via text it would fade as "hardly any color was used" - she had me come in a couple of times to micro needle it to help it fade faster and absolutely no change. 2-3 months after no change, she then recommended I go and have it removed via laser. Thank God I did my research and spoke to a few other providers, as I was told the WORST thing I could do to white ink was laser it. That it would turn dark and be 100% impossible to remove. I am now almost 9 months since Gina destroyed my eye and the ink did not move at all. I went on to spend $1500 on microneedling with PRP - didn't move the ink, and recently found a camouflage corrector with many man years of experience who said she has absolutely NO IDEA why anyone with any sense would put white ink in skin that is so thin in my under eye. She also told me the ink would NOT fade but over time would turn yellow. I am now attempting Saline removal as it is my last hope. I have to pay $400 per session and it's 4-6 sessions 12 weeks apart. This has ruined my life. I can't hide my under eye and can hardly leave the house because of what Gina has done. On top of not having any idea what she is doing, she has been BEYOND rude from the start. Absolutely no remorse, support, or help. In fact every time I have reached out she acts as if I'm bothering her. She clearly has no skill and uses patients as her lab rats. I felt I have to leave this review because I would not wish what Gina has done to me on anyone else. I trusted Gina and she made it seem that this was simple and easy and I would need multiple sessions as the ink would be light, all untrue. This has been the worst year of my life and it is far from over - I've had 2 sessions of saline, causing dryness/redness every 12 weeks and seen very little movement. I pray to God it works because if it doesn't the only option I have is to get it removed surgically. I don't know how Gina sleeps at night after doing this to someone who trusted her, I could never. *also, I've adjusted my name and location for privacy* *Pics don't do it justice with how bad it looks - it looks like I have eyelid retraction because the white is so thick* EDIT: I saw her mention of another scar she covered in the response - I don't recall mentioning anything about that in my review. WHO CARES if that looks good, when I have permanent WHITE ink UNDER MY EYER - get a grip on reality lady. Despicable that even now you can't admit your mistake.

I even left with some samples of the products the doctor recommended to me. If you're thinking about making an appointment I say do it!

    5 stars for the providers. 0 for the reception staff…read more I'm treated by Dr. Greenberg & Yuli Wang PA-C who are great, no complaints. Reception staff is rude and unhelpful on multiple occasions. I've thought of writing a review re: reception before, but held back since my name is tied to Yelp and feared they'd give even less support after they see it, but after my experience today I don't really care anymore. Happy to see the providers again but the reception staff I'll keep my interactions with them to the minimum. Look at Google Reviews in addition to Yelp - Google details more displeasure from reception experiences. 1) I paid my copay in person and the woman forgot to return my card. Sure, I should've checked when she handed me the receipt but didn't think someone would hang onto my card when she's handing a receipt over? Got a call later and had to come back during my work day to get my card before the office closed. 2) While waiting in the lobby, a patient came in late for their appt and wasn't able to be seen. Fair, there are policies in place. But after the patient left, the front desk girls were talking sh*t about the patient in front of not just me but other patients in the lobby. Gross. 3) Apart of my treatment requires accurate logs of my birth control each month before I can get my Rx. Two months in a row, they logged my BC incorrectly and it delayed me from receiving my script. When I called to get it corrected on their end, they were arguing with me that the IUD and Nexplanon are the same thing and I should be able to bypass it - wrong, the website literally would not let me move forward. One BC goes into your arm and the other goes elsewhere. I had to correct them twice over this and it concerned me that the MA I spoke with didn't know the difference when they're supposedly giving care for patients. 3.5) During that call above ^ I was placed on hold for 20 minutes. Hung up on. Called back, placed back on hold, just to speak to another person who answered as if I was a new call. Had to explain why I was calling again, then placed back on hold until finally I spoke to someone after waiting another 10 minutes. 4) Had a telehealth appt. They called me to collect my copay an hr prior to my appt. Didn't answer as I'm working. I called back at 11:30 (time of my appt) to pay the copay when the automated message said to call back during business hours, even though it states "closed for lunch from 12-1:30pm." I called again at 1:35pm cause I never got a call from the provider. Come to learn they marked me as "No call No Show" since I didn't pay my copay, Dr was gone for the day, couldn't be seen. Weird, cause I called at my appointment time to pay and was waiting for the appointment. I've never informed of the policy that I need to pay a copay prior to the appt or risk losing the appointment, since they still call you after the teleappt happens. Weird again, as if you go for an in-person appointment - you pay your copay AFTER you're seen. Why are you shutting your phones and taking your lunches 15minutes early when you have patients waiting to be seen? Why not another courtesy call before marking someone as NCNS? Maybe let's inform patients to pay their copay for telehealth appointments before the actual appointment or else they won't be seen?

    I have been having cystic back acne for about 3 years and finally decided to look for help and…read morestumbled upon Michelles place here. I am getting married in May and was in desperate need of getting rid of my bacne. I started this journey end of Nov 2025 and Michelle recommended I start with the chemical peel to help with my scarring/dark spots/ the whole shabang. After my back started peeling, I went back to get the extractions because my back started purging. I did my next treatment end of Dec 2025 and my back has improved so much. Scarring, redness, acne is going away DRASTICALLY. I can show my back again and wear tank tops. I just finished my 3rd peel and am awaiting the extraction time again. But Michelle saved my back and have boosted my confidence. I highly recommend coming to her for your acne needs. This isn't a fix over night. It's a journey and everyone's response to treatment will be different. I thankfully started months before my wedding and i'm confident that Michelle will work her magic and make my back so much better! Inside when you do, do your treatments, you will be so relaxed by the music. It feels like a little sanctuary. I will gladly share pics, once I'm done going through my treatments! 10 out of 10 recommend!

The space is bright, modern, and thoughtfully designed, while the front office team greeted me with genuine warmth and kindness that made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Dr. Chan is everything you hope for in a dermatologist. Professional , polite, and reassuring. She took the time to carefully examine a few questionable spots, froze several areas that needed treatment, and performed a biopsy with a calm, confident approach that helped ease my nerves. Now it's a matter of thinking positive and waiting for the results. Great care isn't just about medical expertise it's about making patients feel heard and comfortable.
