The office is beautiful, very clean and calming with an incredible view. I come here for Botox and it's always a great experience. Melinda is warm, easy to talk to, and really listens to what you want. She has an incredible eye and such a precise, thoughtful approach. You can tell she really cares about her work and her clients, and it makes all the difference. I'm so glad I found her. read more

I have been going to Melinda for almost 10 years now and I have been loving it. First of all, in 10 years, I have never waited ONCE. I expect to wait just based on how common that is in general, but she schedules her clients in a way where your time slot will always be honored TO A minute and you will never feel rushed. I noticed that over the years and appreciate it. And "how you do one thing is how you do everything" is very true with Melinda. Very knowledgable, very precise in her work and always honest about anything you ask her. I've done laser hair removal on most of my body and also lip and chin. I have also done a lot of skin tag removals. Both of those procedures were always painless and effective. Also I have had IPL lasers many times and my skin has significantly improved. Anything I have chosen to do so far was the right choice with her. I'm 42 years old and haven't done injectables yet, but if I ever decide to go for it, I will ONLY use Melinda because of her eye for the aesthetics, her precision and her dedication to safety. I truly love going to her and this review is long overdue!!! read more

Melinda is amazing. She always makes me feel super relaxed, answers all my questions in detail and never tries to push any procedures on me. I usually come here for seborrheic keratosis removal and with her method I was left with zero scars or hyperpigmentation. Will come back for fututre beauty procedures soon! read more

I had an amazing experience here with Melinda! I initially booked a consultation to get more information on her facials and lip filler. She spent so much time explaining everything to me and gave her honest opinion on what would be beneficial. I really do not like feeling like someone is trying to oversell me on services or products and I did not feel that with her at all. I did dermaplaning for the first time with her and lip filler. Both were such a pleasant experience and I love my results. Thank you!! read more

I wish I had found Melinda sooner! She's wonderful to talk to, and no nonsense in her work. I went for botox and a consult for a dark spot, which she zapped and now it is at least 50% lighter, and I will go back for another session. Her Botox application felt different than anything I have had felt before, and I loved the results. Can't wait to go back for micro needling and anything else she might recommend. Reasonably priced and lovely office with a view. Between her and aesthetician Sophia Phan who recommended her to me - I have the best duo in the business! read more

Melinda gave me the best facial that I could've asked for! It was the perfect balance of a relaxation facial and clinical facial. She took a lot of time with it, and it never felt rushed. She even provided a free sample of my favorite product that I saw in her lobby! The space was beautiful, too. :) read more

I go to Melinda for facials and Botox, because she uses products and procedures that are really effective, yet do not leave you looking like a Real Housewife. She is down to earth, friendly and charming, and I never feel like she is trying to sell me anything. She is a physicians assistant, and very informed about the services she provides, which is particularly important for injectables. Her knowledge keeps me, and a few of my friends (cough, cough) looking well-rested and fresh-faced. Her regular prices are good compared to other med spas, and she offers specials from time to time here, on Gilt, etc, which are usually great deals. If you "like" LA Skin Aesthetics on Facebook you might get lucky and catch a flash sale. If you want treatments that really work and will leave you looking natural and pretty, go see Melinda! read more

Let's just say I am the biggest needle phobic ever!!!!! But when my much anticipated wedding approached and that annoying line in the middle of my forehead began nesting a home for itself, I went straight to Melinda. Lots of my friends go to her for treatments, so I knew she was super trustworthy. PAINLESS. That about sums up my experience at this office. No wonder all the girls at my office rave about Melinda. She truly has the best bed side manner and she gave me great anti aging recommendations w/o costing a fortune! Go here, your skin won't regret it!!!! read more

One word describes Melinda: AMAZING! 1) She's super sweet, personable and make me feel at ease. She wasn't pushy and didn't rush me out the door like some other skincare spas. 2) The facility is very new, clean, and legit. Not one of those questionable places. 3) I had laser hair removal done and I literally fell asleep on the table. 4) She's available until 10pm so you can go see her after work! Woohoo~ I trust her completely with my skin/face and highly recommend her. If you're going to see her, I just recommend you make an appointment with her beforehand! read more

Melinda was so kind and very professional. She's very gentle, too! She's a pro when it comes to Botox. I love how I feel and look. I'll definitely be back! read more

I have been going to Melinda for years....I will NOT go to anyone else! She is professional, sweet and knows her stuff!! I have had many and various types of cosmetic treatments, and can say without hesitation she definitely has a good eye and delicate exacting skills. She has often times persuaded me NOT to have certain procedures when I have inquired, saying not yet..she is completely ethical. On a final note, she never hurts...What a bonus!!! Cant say enough great things about her!! Carol W. read more

As the other Yelpers have stated, Melinda IS wonderful! While researching IPL to get rid of sun damage from my teen years and 20s, I came across LA Skin Aesthetics on Yelp. I chose 3 places with high reviews but called this place first due to their package deals. The prices were slightly less than the 2 other clinics i was considering and the reviews were mostly 5 star so I called. Melinda returned my call within the hour and answered all my questions. I had planned to schedule a consultation first but she said I could do both a consultation and begin treatment on the same visit if I preferred! So I made my appointment and was very pleased with Melinda when I met her. She's super friendly, explains everything, and I appreciate how quickly she responds to text messages. I purchased a 5 pack for IPL treatments and received a discount through a Yelp deal. The treatment, itself was as Melinda described and went by very fast b/c we were chatting. The next day, Melinda checked in with me to see how I was doing. I booked appointment #2 before I even left her office. After one treatment I noticed a difference. I saw the results approximately one week after treatment #1. And with each successive treatment, the darker spots are getting even lighter. I HIGHLY recommend Melinda if you are considering IPL treatment. read more

Got my laser hair removal done today. Clinic is clean, service was quick and the procedure was painless.

I've tried a number of places for my lip injections, and I'm so happy I finally found LA SkinAesthetics. Melinda is so sweet, great at answering questions, and I'm SO happy with my results. I'll be coming back again soon! read more

LA SkinAesthetics - Before - Medical Spas Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

See all

Since last year, I've been noticing that aging on my skin is creeping up on me finally. I've always had decent skin because I do take care of it (started using department store skin care since I was 16, and was also using Olay before that). Although I love spending the day at the beach when I was a teenager, I started to wear SPF35 and higher on a daily basis when I was in college (I've been wearing SPF 55 or higher for more than 10 years now). Anyway, in the last few months, I've been seeing more and more spots creeping up and my pores are getting larger and larger. Now, I am and have been a skeptic on artificial beauty, so I would be one of the last person to go to a med spa. I've tried using Obagi 10+ years ago (heard about the rave from celebrities for immaculate complexions...and I have some clogged pores on my forehead). I didn't like how it stung, peeled and also made my skin super sensitive (my face would turn super red when I'm hot or doing outdoor activities even though I was wearing sunscreen). So, I researched and wanted to give IPL facials a try. I searched around on Yelp and found a couple of places with really good ratings, so I called and their prices were high ($550). Then, I saw LA SkinAesthetics and that they had a yelp deal going on, so I called them and asked if I can use the deal on the same day and also on the already discounted IPL series of 5. They said that I could ($250 for 1 IPL session, but $1000 for a series of 5--so goes down to $200 each--a great bargain)! So, I scheduled the same day appointment at 7pm (love the fact that they are open till 10pm so that I can come after work on my way home and not take time off work). I was greeted by Melinda, and she is very friendly and puts me at ease. I asked her plenty of questions before the IPL and she made me feel comfortable with the procedure and possible results. During the procedure, she would check with me from time to time to make sure I'm okay and let me know what she is doing. All in all, I am very pleased with the visit. Now, I just had it done last night, so I'll have to come back to add on the review after a few weeks and when I see results. read more

Finally getting around to writing my review...I have been seeing Melinda for a little over 4 months for her photo facial and derma planning and I am so happy w the results! I have a lot of brown spots from pregnancy hormones and the facials plus retinoid she recommended are finally making a difference. I have seen other "trendy" derms for photo facials on the past and I can honestly say her laser is more up to date and less painful. Melinda takes the time to get to know you and makes you feel cared for..hard to come by w most Beverly Hills dermatology offices. Plus she is super affordable! Thanks yelp for my awesome find! read more

I so should have done this laser hair removal thing earlier in life! People love my smooth legs! "Oh my God they are so smooth", that's what they often say to me instead of "Hello". JK. Lol. In short, my legs stay smooth pretty much all the time. The hairs do grow, but very slow. Also, they are way thinner. For reference: I'm of a Jewish/Middle-Eastern origin, white skin, dark hair, my Dad is hairy as hell, and so am (was) I (Thanks, Daddy!). Melinda is very nice and accommodating. Those 6 two-hour long sessions were basically a nice relaxation time that I enjoyed in the midst of weekday stress. So if you've been considering laser hair removal or if you're just hearing about it for the first time in your life - really just do it. You'll enjoy life so much more!!! The parking in the building is expensive, but if you go north on Robertson and turn left to those little side streets you'll see 2 and 4 hour street parking. It's a bit of a walk but you love fitness, don't ya?! read more

Just came back from my first visit with Melinda. This was by far the best cosmetics consultation I've ever had. There was no waiting, the staff was pleasant and personable, the facilities were beautiful, Melinda gave me her complete undivided attention, she was very friendly and professional, she explained everything to me thoroughly and in a straight forward way I understood, and most surprisingly she did not try to up-sell or pressure me to purchase any products or procedures. I went ahead and got the botox, and I will give an update in a few weeks on the results, but I was amazed that it was the most comfortable, painless botox procedure I've ever received. I am extremely pleased with the entire experience and hope to be a long time patient. :) read more

I use yelp everyday, but don't usually leave reviews...in this instance I had to!! I searched and searched plastic surgeons and estheticians for feedback on their Botox and fillers. After countless hours and girlfriends trying to win me over to go to their doctors for my first injections I found Melinda. She made everything so incredibly easy from step 1 and she texts and has weekend and evening appointments which is a must with my busy schedule. Her consult was amazing, she actually told me to do less than I intended on doing-not an up seller at all! After my procedure she has text with me countless times with my questions,,, AMAZING work and customer service-need I say more?? My Botox and fillers look flawless!!! read more

I couldn't be happier that I found Melinda at LA Skin Aesthetics. I've been going to her for laser hair removal and the results are great. I've been to many places for both electrolysis and laser, but nothing compares. The prices are unbeatable, the facility is great, and the procedure is painless! Melinda is so friendly and takes time to answer questions. So many places in LA are untrustworthy; this is definitely a diamond in the rough! read more

Melinda is absolutely amazing! I first came to her for Botox, it was the fourth time I had done it, and having gone to other plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills, I can safely say that this was the best experience iv had! My skin looked perfect afterwards, all fine lines gone, yet it was still natural in the places where it needed to be. I'm a big baby when it comes to needles, and this was the least painful Botox experience iv had.... In fact, I kept asking her whether she had injected, that's how painless it was! After my fantastic Botox experience, I decided to go back to Melinda for filler under my eye, something which I had been contemplating doing for a while. Yet again, an amazing experience...: I was so nervous before, and she calmed me down and assured me that it wouldn't be painful at all, which it wasn't, it also looked amazing and really made such a huge difference in the appearance of my face. I highly recommend LA Skinaesthetics, and as I say, it's the best experience iv had in LA. read more

I went to Melinda 2 weeks ago for my first ever botox treatment. She was very informative and patient. I got a little nervous/scared during our consultation due to my fear of needles so she kindly left the room while I called my husband for a pep talk. The results are great so far and she's even answered some of my questions late night via text message. She really cares about your results. read more

I had originally thought I was going to get an IPL for my cystic acne. But after meeting with Melinda and discussing my acne history, she actually convinced me not to get any procedures done by her and to go talk to a dermatologist first. She was very honest about how to treat my acne and how my skin type would affect her treatments. She did not try to sell me on anything and even offered to answer any questions I had after seeing a dermatologist. She was very nice and knowledgable. read more

Very pleased with the way my skin turned out after doing an IPL. I have done IPL in the past and I felt that the technician was more trained on how to approach individual cases. I did have slight line markings all over my forehead, which I found online was simply a consequence of the distance between the laser and the skin. It was a common side effect from the machine, but I did have to research this information on my own. Otherwise, happy with my appearance, as well as the professional and easy location. read more

I'm so glad to have found Melinda. I did a series of 6 laser hair removal treatments and the results are amazing- I would say about 90% of the hair hasn't grown back and whatever has grown back is very fair and fine compared to my original growth. It was worth it and I wish I did it sooner. I've also had injectables with her and the results are very natural and her technique is painless! I had a facial with her 2 times and she is meticulous with the extractions- i love it. Thank you Melinda! Make sure to sign up for her emails and follow on social media @laskinaesthetics for her monthly specials! read more

I have been coming here for two years now and am very happy with the improvement in my skin! Melinda is so wonderful and professional. She is experienced and sensitive. She is also flexible with her schedule which is convenient. I highly recommend this place! read more

Did a couple of peels for my acne. Did not help much and they were expensive. Melinda is super friendly and quickly responds to emails/text and easy to make appointments. If you go there for the right thing, i believe she will be very helpful. For me, not much help for my acne. read more

I had an outstanding experience with Melinda! She was very thorough and explained everything I needed to know (even though this was not my first time getting Botox). I will definitely go back in a few months! Could not be happier! read more

I was lucky enough to find Melinda through a previous dermatologist I was using who was no longer offering services. I was delighted to find out that Melinda was nearby to where I live and work and had extremely flexible hours. Perfect for the working gal on the go when acne pops up! Can't go to a client meeting with a break out! I connected with Melinda and was happy to hear she offers injections for cystic acne, which is a chronic problem I've had my whole life. Past dermatologists had charged a fortune for it or it wasn't covered by insurance. Melinda offers excellent prices that are totally affordable and won't break the bank every time I have a break out! Not only can she treat me in a pinch, she has since worked with me on a better overall treatment plan for my skin so I stop my cystic breakouts. She has great tips for toners and topical treatments. And she even recommended me to a specialist who was able to prescribe me a better medication for my skin. We're now also trying laser treatment as well and Melinda was kind enough to offer a free trial to see if it works before we continue.. and so far, so good! The best part about having Melinda as my specialist is that she is easy to reach via text at any time.. no more dealing with office hours and receptionists. I honestly don't know what I would do without her! And as my wedding day approaches (and so does hers on the same day as mine!!) I fully trust her to keep me clean and clear my big day! read more

Melinda is great!! She has great bed side manner. She is so accommodating and personable. I never have to wait because her appointment run on time like clockwork. Her offices are so beautiful and convenient. She gives you her honest opinion like a friend, and is not like other doctors or aestheticians who run their business purely for the money. I run to her whenever I need a skin pick-me-up or issue and she is always very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her! read more

After turning 30, I developed lines on my forehead and decided to seek out Botox to smooth my skin. I was incredibly leery to be injected by anything foreign; fearing that i'd end up with headaches or some sort of allergic reaction, etc. I met Melinda prior to having the procedure done and she assessed my skin, was realistic about what I should do (meaning, she was not going to make me look like a Beverly Hills plastic) and walked me through exactly what was about to take place and assured me of the safety of Botox. She is always incredibly gentle in her approach to placing in the proper amount. Her post Botox instructions are easy to follow and she followed up with me after my first injections to see how I was doing. I have now been going to her for almost 2 years and she is simply the best. No BS - just great attention to detail and a lot of care to ensure you look as natural as possible. Melinda is the best and I highly recommend. Looking forward to having facials with her too! read more

Melinda is a real master. She is incredibly skilled and attuned to your needs. I feel really safe in her hands and know that I will get a consistent result. I go to her for facial laser hair removal, botox and fillers. read more

Melinda is a wonderful laser technician - very professional and personable. I have had 4 out of my 6 treatments and so far so good!

Melinda is the best!!! She is great at what she does and is so personable, professional, and sincere. Not to mention, her prices are very reasonable and she does not hard sell you at all. I've been going to her for laser treatments for more than a year now. Thank you yelp for helping me find her! I highly recommend - five stars!! read more

I never write reviews, but Melinda is AWESOME! I travel a lot and she was able to fit me in her schedule at the last minute. So professional and no up-sell.. very refreshing! Her work is flawless and my skin looks great. Easy to park and I didn't wait at all prior to my appointment. Thank you!! read more

It was my first time getting Botox treatment done, Melinda was so helpful in explaining the variety of treatments and products available, she put me at ease. In reviewing all the comments on Yelp and experiencing it first hand, I got to say Melinda is the very best in what she does! I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and colleagues. read more

Melinda is THE BEST! I was first drawn in because she actually lists her (affordable) pricing on line. True to form, she's incredibly honest, transparent and has *your* best interest at heart! She encouraged me to try a different service at a much lower price point than the one I was initially interested in and offered me all the science and supporting evidence why! What a professional! And that was after she was as compassionate and patient enough to listen to me vent and complain and go on and on about my problems and what solutions all the other experts had suggested to me. She's a SAINT. I walked out ecstatic with my results and feeling more hopeful about my treatment plan and future of my skin than I have in years! She's the real deal. I'm very particular when it comes to my service providers (it's such an intimate experience!) and thank my lucky stars I found this angel! I've referred all my friends and look forward to continuing this relationship with this bright light for years to come! I'm looking great and feeling even better, thank you, Melinda! read more

I must say that being newer to the area, I was slightly nervous about working with a new medical nurse for my skin. Melinda performed one of the best microdermabrasion treatments on me I have ever had. The machine was different than the usual diamond tone I've had in spas. It had a bristle brush and was more intense of a cleaning but certainly still did not irritate my skin. Melinda was fun, kind, and genuinely cared about customizing the treatment for my skin and was careful to get me good results (there is nothing worse than a timid treatment. I need my money and times worth!), but not go so aggressive that I left looking like my face was turned into beef carpaccio. My skin has been glowing ever since, and I have been using the recommended skinmedica and skinceuticals products she set me up with. I absolutely love how my skin looks and feels. Skin is our largest organ and it is in my opinion a necessity & not a luxury to take care of it. Do yourself a favor and go visit Melinda. PS she works Sunday's as well which is convenient for those of us who work full time and do business travel! Melinda I'll definitely be back soon! read more
