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!

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.

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 had a wonderful experience here and wanted to share it because finding someone you can truly…read moretrust with Botox is not always easy. 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.

Their pricing is generally a little bit lower than others in the Ktown area. I purchased the 5 plasonic+5 LDM package. I first went there for plasonic facial because I had tried the plasonic facial at Spa LA which cost more (because of spa amenities and extra stuff), but I found Jk Aesthetics offers plasonic facial too (about $50 less). The aesthetician found my skin was dry and my blackheads would not come out, so she recommended LDM instead for hydration. I still wanted to do plasonic facials so I got the package. We also went through the current products I use and she gave her recommendations. I purchased the TGF Booster, EGF Serum, Collagen Serum. I seemed to have a reaction (some dry patches and some redness) with the EGF serum with my other products at home so they allowed me the option to return it and try something else. I ended up keeping it and removed one of my at-home products and my skin is better now. They also taught me products I can use and not use while getting these treatments (for example like not using Vitamin C serum for the mean time). I'm attaching a picture of my forehead after 2 Plasonics and 1 LDM. I started around end of March 2026 and have until October to go. I rotate between plasonic and LDM every 3 weeks. I estimate overall cost from March-October with 20% tip and facial products is roughly $2500. My skin feels and looks healthier after every visit and I'm feeling more confident to show my natural face again. My makeup is applying smoother on my face. I also don't feel the need to hide behind makeup as much. Will send progress pictures the next couple months, but so far this is what I have after a few visits. Added a picture of skincare products I purchased from them. Not cheap, but in combination with the treatments I think it helps with maintenance of my results. I learned I needed to slowly switched over my skincare and decreased products. This is coming from a girl who overdid it with products from Dr Dray's kbeauty recs (a big YouTube influencer).

I check in with front desk for my Aescape massage and they escort me to the room. Overall the massage was good. The robot did well on the back, glutes and hamstring. Unfortunately robot does not have the ability to massage the neck and shoulder which is a bummer. Also there's no mechanism to massage arm. Once these areas are address I think Aescape may be a nice alternative to human is fully booked. Pro tip: tuck your shirt under your pants to prevent shirt from moving up during massage session. To your wellness!!

Second time coming here, this time treating my brother and myself to a body scrub and combo…read moremassage. The facilities are great, but the services provided were just OK (seshin- body scrub) to not good (massage). Wi Spa is the most famous jjimjilbang in LA (which would make it one of the most famous in the country). It opened in 2009, and is open 24 hours 7 days a week, and is co-ed. It also has a small restaurant with filling Korean dishes and desserts, and a lovely, quiet rooftop where one can relax outside. It was a place my brother had not been before, so figured it would be an interesting activity for a Saturday afternoon. I visited a couple days before and reserved a seshin (25 min body scrub for $65) and acupressure/swedish combo (80 min for $180) for each of us. Because the service total was over $159.99, the $40 admission fee was waived. We were asked to come at least 30 minutes before the first body scrub. We were given a locker key/id wristband with a clear number, and going forward, everyone uses that number to identify the clients. We also got a unisex t-shirt and disposable slippers. The men's locker room is on the same floor as the check-in area. Once inside, it's just easier to put everything into your locker and only have your wrist band with you while in the men's area. There are saunas, different whirlpools, and resting areas. To go to the co-ed areas, there are self service shorts and robes (which added to the tshirt and slippers) is the common outfit to walk around outside of the locker room. Glasses don't work here (it would steam, plus I didn't really care about the details), so had to walk around slowly. There are two tables for the seshin in the men's locker room, but only one scrubber so one had to wait while the other went. It was my very first seshin, though I often take baths to scrub away dead skin, so the sensation wasn't that different. I was concerned about certain areas with really thin skin. The best way to describe the scrubber was that he was no-nonsense, not saying much, and giving one word commands...but that strangely felt appropriate here. Two handcloths were used: one to cover my eyes and the other for the nether region. That being said, the experience wasn't pleasant. Plus the bench table got slippery, and could see how someone could slip and hurt themselves, so need to go slow. Afterwards, he handed me a tip envelope and told me 'Come back HERE, OK?'. I did do as he asked, but he was gone so just put the filled tip envelope on the bench and left. Massages are done at a dedicated floor and we arrived too early. The ajumma was not happy with me (probably because I was too loud telling her my name...should have used my number instead) and told to come back in 25 minutes. So we went to the restaurant, got a couple of fruit smoothies ($8, they were good) and some shaved ice. Came back and my brother was taken back immediately. I had to wait for a bit. Two women came and started to argue with each other softly. Finally a different woman came, and I was told by the ajumma to go with her. At that point, I was worried that I had been given to a newbie who was low person on the totem pole, getting all the undesirables. That being said, the masseuse was skilled and knew what she was doing. She used her feet quite a bit, and knew how far to go without seriously hurting me. But I would have appreciated a tiny bit more interaction, and a bit more than just grunts to me when I was supposed to turn over, etc. This interaction seemed more appropriate with the body scrub. Maybe...5 words were said to me, and all of it was unintelligible. The experience just didn't work. Plus I was a bit uncomfortable on my stomach as I had probably been resting on my forehead too long, but had no idea if I could effectively communicate that with her...so I just bore it. At the end, she clapped loudly and stopped, mumbling something. Everything was so opposite of gentle and friendly, even the end 'conversation'. Of course, she handed me a tip envelope with towel and was out of there very quickly. I ended up handing the tip envelope to the front desk as I was checking out. Later I asked my brother at what rank would he put his massage of all the ones he's taken (he's probably had over a hundred) and he wouldn't give me a straight answer. Can't recommend the massages here at all (and mad at myself for giving them a tip). It's weird...they almost make it seem like it is Korea, where not many people speak English....and woe to the Korean-Am who can't speak Korean properly. The only people at the facility I would consider to have good customer service would be the folks checking you in and the non-Korean locker room attendant who was very helpful. I would just pay the $40 entrance fee next time, and call it a (long) day.

Hands down, this was the most incredible skincare treatment I've ever had -- and trust me, I've had…read morequite the lineup over the years. I'm a self-proclaimed skincare snob and have done everything from leech therapy, microneedling, PRP, vampire facials, IPLs, various chemical peels, and a plethora of different lasers. I had been eyeing the Scarlet RF machine for about two years now and finally decided to pull the trigger, especially since my skin has been acting up the past six months in ways I've never seen before. After doing some research on Yelp, I found Reset Laser Clinic -- they had amazing reviews and offered the Scarlet RF treatment. I'm so glad I found them because WOW, I was beyond impressed. First of all, there was zero downtime -- and I saw instant results. My skin looked noticeably more plump and refreshed right after the treatment, and it continues to improve day by day. For anyone unfamiliar, the Scarlet RF microneedling machine improves skin tone, texture, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and scars. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. Results are immediate, but they keep getting better over the next six months! Reset Clinic also offers an amazing package that combines three treatments in one session: Scarlet RF, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): where your own blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the healing platelets, and then applied to boost regeneration and healing, Rejuran (Salmon DNA Therapy): a Korean skin booster that improves hydration, elasticity, and enhances the skin's natural healing processes. Another major plus: they have their own parking lot (huge bonus for K-Town!), and my treatment also included a bit of a massage, a head spa, and a mini facial -- it felt so luxurious. I went back to work the next day without any issues. No redness, no peeling, no downtime -- just noticeably healthier, plumper skin. I'm so happy with the results and definitely plan to return for other treatments at Reset. Not sponsored, by the way -- but I did chat with them afterward about my experience, and they generously offered a discount for my followers. If you mention 'JENNY', they'll give you $112 off the Scarlet RF treatment I had done! You can book with Jenny by DM'ing them on Instagram (@reset_laser_clinic) or by calling 213-455-1950 -- just let them know I sent you!
