Everything went amazing, per usual!…read more I have been seeing Marina for a decade! She deserves the 5 star rating she has on Yelp! I was in yelp elite for a while (six years, I believe), but then got lazy on writing reviews. Sorry Yelp! However, my personal Yelp laziness aside, Marina is an extremely qualified nurse practitioner and knowledgeable on every procedure she offers. Her hobby literally is going to trainings. She LOVES what she does and this (working on faces) is her modality of art. She is truly GIFTED! Marina is an adept professional. She is completely transparent regarding what a procedure can and cannot do for you. As well as what she charges (it's all listed on her website: https://www.marinasoasis.com). I'm turning 52 next month and have included a couple recent pics taken 5/26/26 because I look better now than a decade ago. The selfie was taken in Vegas during BTS's "Arirang: The City Las Vegas" event. If you are interested in perfect aesthetics execution while talking about BTS, k-dramas and the best Chinese restaurant in the area, go to Marina...oh, she also knows which bakeries sell mooncakes year round, Marina should be your "go-to" provider. I absolutely trust Marina. I've tried to push her to turn up the ResurFX laser and she said "no, because i don't want to burn you or bring out any hyperpigmentation". She cares about her patients and is conservative when it comes to treatments. Like for botox and filler, you can always get more later. Dissolving filler hurts WAY more than getting it. I know this from first hand experience when my filler migrated a little above my upper lip line - very common since we move our mouths a lot every day. Her injection technique (usually by cannula, so I never get bruising) is flawless. Ive never had bumps in my lips like I've heard other people complaining about from other providers, i generally look great leaving her office and basically never get bruising, even though I hear it's very common. She also will warn me of anything that may cause hyperpigmentation since I'm Asian and have an olive skin tone. I love that she is completely aware of what will cause hyperpigmentation in skin of all ethnicities. This reminds me, I need to book a botox and ResurFX laser appointment with her...lol Truly amazing woman, tons of knowledge about everything, She is the best Master Injector and Aesthetics Provider that i have ever met and had the pleasure of her work done on me. Thank you so much for all your hard work, Marina. Im never going to go anywhere else. I would be stupid if I did.. lol I look better now than 10 years ago, all thanks to you!

My partner and I booked a joint appointment here for a chemical peel. During the consultation and…read moreexplanation of the process, expectations, and results, the provider only spoke to and made eye contact with me, completely ignoring and failing to acknowledge my partner. As a lesbian interracial couple (I am white, my partner is Asian), the exclusionary behavior felt deeply biased and unacceptable. My partner did not feel safe, respected, or welcomed here. We will not be returning and cannot recommend this business to people of color. Or anyone for that matter.

I already had double eyelids but my eyes were hooded so my crease barely showed. I decided on…read moregetting the noninvasive eyelid procedure since i'm too scared to do actual eyelid surgery so it was a great option for me. Booking -- you can make an appointment online, it is very easy and convenient. I believe i DMed them on instagram and received a reply within the next few hours. Procedure -- the entire consultation (day of) and procedure was about 3 hours but actual procedure took about 15-20 minutes? I'm not sure but it felt quick and painless, just some pressure and a bit uncomfy but nothing you can't handle. I was awake but on laughing gas, the dr. applies local anesthetic (i believe) by a shot. That part probably stung/hurt the most. Post care -- my eyes were puffy and felt tight but nothing too uncomfortable. I didn't have any bruising and i was able to go to work the next day. They provided me with eyedrops and pain medication. I bought arnica pills for extra $ which is probably why i didn't bruise. Promo -- i booked during a promo and i also got model pricing since i allowed them to take photos and a video testimony. I would recommend this if possible. Results -- 100% satisfied! My eyelids have more space and it looks really natural. I can't remember what i looked like before honestly. I don't feel anything in my eye and when i close it, you can't see any sutures. I've gotten so many compliments when I tell people I got it done. I would definitely recommend it if you've been over the fence about getting the procedure. It's been over a year since the procedure so I'm happy to say it was reallyyyy worth it!

My sister came to this place and both of her eyes were uneven. After one year, the results completely went back. They also have a sign offering $250 off if you write them a good review on Yelp and Google. Please save yourself and go to a trusted, board-certified doctor.

After I moved away and tried other places, the difference was clear, long, painful sessions! When I moved back to Pasadena, returning to Jenny was a wonderful. Her technique is so precise and fast you're in and out before you know it, almost unbelievably quick and comfortable compared to anywhere else. She's also genuinely warm, down to earth, and easy to talk to. She makes you feel completely at ease from the moment you walk in. Every appointment feels like catching up with a kind friend rather than just getting waxed. Her personality is the perfect bonus to her exceptional skill. The studio is cute, clean, and super convenient with easy parking. After experiencing the alternatives, I can confidently say no one else compares. Jenny is the complete package, outstanding at her craft and a truly nice person. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I recommend her to everyone!

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. Dr. Chan and her entire team delivered exactly that. If you're looking for outstanding dermatology care in Pasadena, I highly recommend this practice.

She also makes the experience truly relaxing with therapeutic neck massage and foot massage. Also I love her studio! It's a cute little bungalow in Pasadena with easy parking.

Every time I see her, I leave feeling youthful and glowing. I have some facial scars and skin issues that used to bother me, and she's really helped minimize their appearance over time.

I always look forward to my appointments with her. Highly recommended for a luxury experience.

I went to Raissa at Work Face & Body for 2 chemical peels and have been very happy with the…read moreresults. 1st peel: Since I'm Asian (so more prone to hyperpigmentation from procedures) she started me on a lighter peel. The visual results were small but I didn't experience major break outs in the 4 months until my next peel (aka a miracle). She described light peels as "chipping away" at the problems (for me, milder acne scars and hyperpigmentation and larger pores). 2nd peel: We went for a medium peel and I certainly peeled! Which was great. The results were more obvious (but still subtle), with less texture and smaller pore in a patch of skin with acne scars. I can see that some of my dark spots faded a few shades. Raissa is a lovely, warm person and very competent at her work. Her clean, lovely room is located in Bravo Hair Salon with plenty of parking in a garage off Lake Ave. (Be sure to directly put in the address! There is a different Brave salon in Pasadena closer to my home and I always accidentally drive there first!)

They offer a range of treatments including facial cosmetics and top notch facials. Everyone that works there is professional and excellent at the service they provide. The store itself is clean and modern, and has a calm vibe that's always kept immaculately clean. I've had the privilege of esthetician, Jenna do a few facials and skin treatments for me this year. Not only is she very knowledgeable about different skin concerns, and facial products, so goes into each facial with care and intention. She goes above and beyond to make the experience feel special from start to finish. From cleaning the face, to a gentle touch extraction, applying a hydrating and calming masks, using only top of the line products. My favorite add on's are the diamond glow, derma-planing and red light. Jenna efficiently provides these add ons for the best results within the facial time. She also has a skilled touch with the face, neck and shoulder massage. Leaving after her facial, you'll not only feel pampered and relaxed, but also loving the results. Each time afterwards my skin is super smooth, glowy and my pores and dullness diminish. It is a real treat / self care expense that is highly worth it. I highly recommend Jenna to do your next facial at Facile for the best possible experience and results. Also check her out on IG if you're curious! @esthie.Spinelli
