    Wedding glow thanks to Putri!
    Connie W.

    I could not rave enough about Putri. This is long overdue, but she helped me prep for my wedding back in March 2019, and completely turned around my skin. I spent about 9 months going to Putri for regular BeautyRX facials, and occasional peels to get ready for my big day. I was recommended to Putri from a coworker, who I noticed had amazing skin. When I first came to Putri, my combination skin was a complete wreck. She did a great job walking me through how different treatments impact my skin, and how to regularly care for it. She works in the medical field and is so professional, yet approachable in how she explains things and makes recommendations. Every time I went to her, it was like seeing an old friend. It was so nice to have someone to regularly prep my wedding glow, and was easy to talk to as we approached our wedding day. I got so many compliments specifically on my skin on our wedding day, and even felt so comfortable not wearing makeup on other days (which I would have never said before). Putri even made me, my maid of honor (who also stared seeing her regularly), and my husband special enzyme face masks to apply the night before our wedding. I continued to see Putri even after to maintain my glowing skin. I've since moved to Los Angeles, so devastated I can no longer see Putri, but I still even today text her for tips on which products to buy, and even still order my regular face lotion, rx pads and sunscreen from Medesthetics to ship over.

    Mirsada is a skin healer and what she provides is priceless. I suffered from persistent acne for…read moreover TWENTY YEARS. I am now 39 and finally acne free. The mental, emotional and psychological freedom she has given me is something I am grateful for beyond words. Her method is the only thing that ever worked. A strict diet for 2 months, with regular facials and her regimen, cleared my acne in about 3 months. After that there was peeling, peeling, peeling for another 3 months. Mirsada healed my lifelong skin condition within 6 months and I haven't felt this comfortable in my own skin since I was a kid. The key is to STICK WITH IT. It was not easy, it was not always pleasant. But you know what? It worked!!! What I tried before Mirsada: going to literally 10 different dermatologists over decades, Accutane (twice - worked while taking but then came back afterward), spironolactone, every diet imaginable (vegan, raw food, vegetarian, dairy free, gluten free), cleanses (liver, kidney, colon, master), every topical prescription on the market, hormone balancing (including testing and naturopathic recommended supplements), DIM, progesterone cream, Zinc, collagen, Maca, skin supplements, cod liver oil, probiotics, prebiotics, eating fermented food with every meal... I literally can't remember all the things I tried for 3-6 months each, to no avail. Some will say she is expensive. She's not for the service she provides. I've had facials from many estheticians - her prices are competitive and the quality and time she spends is unmatched. Do not waste your time and money trying something else. I wish I found her years ago, but I am so grateful I finally did. Thank you Mirsada you truly are a miracle worker.

    My daughter has mild Hormonal acne. She is 16. Although the location and products are…read more"unconventional" as it is not a fancy office/spa and the products are hand crafted, Mirsada knows her stuff. The facial was somewhat intense but it worked. As did her products. My daughter closely followed the very specific instructions on how to use the products and even what foods to avoid and it worked. She has since gone back to a regular diet and we ran out of the products, but we did learn a specific method of applying products from Mirsada. We are now using another product line, and the acne has remained cleared, other than the occasional hormone related breakout. I say have an open mind when you arrive, Mirsada speaks straight, and some people may take it the wrong way, but she knows her stuff and will clear your acne! You just won't get the typical "spa treatment" but you will achieve clear skin

    To say that Elise changed my life would be an understatement…read more I have struggled with cystic and comedonal acne for 15 years. I don't remember high school without remembering the hell that my skin caused me. I would wake up at 6:30am each morning to spend half an hour covering up my acne with makeup, to make myself feel normal amongst my friends who had perfect skin. Each year I would attempt a new skin care regimen, a new product in hopes of finding a solution. Nothing worked. At my wits end, I ended up going vegan towards the end of my time in high school. A year into my diet, nothing changed. What did change were my health markers--I developed anemia, had severely low vitamin D and B12 levels, and was chronically sick. I ended up returning to a whole foods, omnivorous diet. I felt better, but acne still plagued me. Throughout college, my skin continued to get worse. I started suffering from severe cystic acne around my chin area that felt like bruises under my skin. A single cyst would last me 3-4 weeks and were difficult to cover up with makeup. I was constantly ashamed. I refused to let people, even my close friends, see me without makeup. I would wear makeup to the gym. I would come home and cry because I felt so so ugly. Eventually I came across Curology and was prescribed a cocktail of azeleic acid, tretinoin and clindamycin. After months of dry skin, peeling and breakouts, I saw some relief. But I knew I couldn't stay on a topical antibiotic forever, and after a few years it stopped working. I cannot express how much money I have spent over the last 15 years in attempt to cure my acne. Thousands of dollars. Prescriptions, skincare, dermatologists, facials, diets, supplements, blood tests, hormonal "balance" pills. Nothing ever worked. I couldn't do it anymore. I accepted that this was it for me. I just need to learn how to live with acne for the rest of my life. This February, during a particularly bad breakout, I decided to see if there are any "acne" specialists that I could see in person. Somehow, I found Elise. The before and afters on her website were extremely compelling. She offered to have a call to see if I would be a good fit for her program. What I wasn't expecting was to fully break down in tears during the phone call. She seemed like someone who knew exactly how I was feeling. And her own history with acne gave me a tiny shred of hope. She offered a trial appointment, and if it went well, we could continue with the 3 month program. And thank god I did. Elise is deeply knowledgable and explained the condition in plain language. Elise also spent a significant amount of time understanding my acne history, my overall health and diet. For the first time in my life I felt like someone was actually listening. The following facial and extraction was wonderful and she handled my skin extremely well. What I also learned was that Elise has her own skincare line that she formulates herself. I've always been weary about derms/estheticians pushing their own skincare but she didn't push it on me at all. Green flag. She offered a few samples and I felt that I could trust her. And thank god I did. I'm writing this all out 3 months later--sitting at a cafe with not a single drop of makeup on my skin. For the first time in my life I'm not embarrassed. And I'm not breaking out. I could go to the gym without makeup. I could swim in the ocean, not scared of my makeup melting off. I got married last Saturday and my skin has never looked better. I felt like I could be fully present at my own wedding. I felt freed for the first time in my life. Elise has given me more than just the tools to be acne free for the rest of my life. She's given me my confidence back. My life back. She's given me one of the greatest gifts--the ability to truly be myself. So if you're on the edge or worried the program is too expensive--please do not hesitate. My only wish is that I had found Elise sooner. You don't need to suffer any longer. Please do not wait another day. And to Elise--thank you for everything. Writing this has honestly brought me to tears. Thank you for changing my life.

    Working with Elise has been a pivotal change in my years-long war on acne. I've seen several…read moredermatologists, been on almost every prescription topical and prescription pill (except for Accutane), and spent probably thousands in total over the past several years on skincare and facials, with little or no success. I found Elise's practice through Yelp and decided to book an initial consultation with facial. It was refreshing to work with someone who's also dealt with hormonal/cystic acne and wanted to dedicate their career to helping others get out of it. Elise is such a warm and understanding person, and she comes off as genuinely wanting to help and treat you instead of being in it for the money. The session was very informative and answered a lot of questions that I've always had about my acne but never got satisfactory answers from when working with dermatologists. I've been following Elise's program for several months -- there's no overnight fix, unfortunately -- and I feel like I've finally gotten a handle on my acne. I finally know my triggers and feel more in control for the first time in years. Highly recommend Elise and her practice!

    First off, this review is long overdue because I selfishly want Alisha and her magic all to myself!…read moreI have been seeing Alisha and Dr. Greene since 2018, and they have truly changed my life. I had melasma EVERYWHERE and was spending $400 a month on random products at Sephora, basically throwing money at my face and hoping for the best. Alisha not only got rid of my melasma, but she also taught me how to properly care for my skin and exactly which products I actually need ...turns out the answer was not "one of everything from Sephora." I now get so many compliments on my skin that people don't even believe me when I tell them I'm not wearing makeup. This is NOT your average facial it is a medical grade facial and the ONLY facial that has given me actual results. She is truly the best at what she does. You leave every appointment feeling and looking glamorous. Seeing Alisha every three months is my favorite ritual. Not only is she amazing at her work, she is a genuinely lovely human being who goes out of her way to make you feel great. I always leave her office ready to conquer the world with my sunscreen on, a new glow and freshly tinted lashes. And yes, she will tint those beauties for you so you can deliver the perfect wink to whoever deserves it.

    This was honestly the best facial I've ever had. I love a good facial, but I'm usually left feeling…read morelike people are just layering on products or doing things that "feel" fancy without actually improving my skin. Not here. Monica was incredibly professional and clearly knows her stuff -- the whole experience felt much more medical-grade than the trendy "spa" places that focus more on vibes than results. I really appreciated that. I'm someone who gets a little Botox every few months and does laser hair removal, so I always look for real expertise over fluff, and this was exactly that. My skin looked amazing afterward -- clear, hydrated, and glowing. The results honestly felt like a steal for the price. Whenever I'm in SF for work, I'll be rebooking here for sure.

    This is a follow-up review about the laser damage caused by Andrea Austin and nurse Mary Krempa in…read moreMarch 2024.  After I posted my review in March 2025, I saw a few other prominent dermatologists, including Dr. Timothy Berger at UCSF and Dr. Matt Lewis at Stanford, last year. They are both recommended by another patient who wrote a critical Yelp review of Andrea Austin. I reached out to her through Yelp because she wrote that her doctor told her that half of his patients with neurogenic rosacea are a result of laser damage, and I suspected that it was my case as well.  Dr. Berger at UCSF confirmed that the dense tissue in my cheeks is facial edema caused by Vbeam (Mary Krempa did so many passes with a high setting meant for blood vessels next to my nose on my delicate cheeks; also, I don't think my skin could tolerate 6 Vbeam in such a short period of time). As a result, I now have neurogenic rosacea, which I never had before seeing Andrea Austin. I hardly had any rosacea symptoms even before I saw Andrea Austin (no flushing, no pain, or nothing really, just slight pinkness on my cheeks, never had to worry about the heat or coldness or whatever).   As I wrote in my previous review, I saw Andrea Austin three times after the botched Vbeam. She STILL recommended to continue Vbeam during the two appts AFTER the botched treatment, and recommended me a hydro facial after learning that I would not do any more laser at the 3rd last appt.  I saw seven other reputable dermatologists between June 2024 and December 2025 because I was determined to find out what had happened to my face. All of them acknowledged the dense tissue (diagnosed as facial edema by Dr. Berger, Dr. MacGregor --my current derm, and Dr. Lewis), and almost all of them are very sympathetic to me about what had happened to my cheeks, and they all warned me to be extremely careful with my skin.  I also reached out to Andrea Austin through the online portal after seeing a PR reply to my previous Yelp review last year, and she literally messaged me that what I have now is NOT a result of the laser under her care, and she suggested a different skin condition, which was flatly denied by Dr. Berger.  I decided to share my horrendous experience so that other people who have very sensitive skin will think twice before they choose to go BACD. Having pain and discomfort in my cheeks and not knowing what happened to my face destroyed my mental health. Even after 2 years, I can still pinch and move the dense tissue under my cheeks, which I never had before Andrea Austin. I ended up taking 2 months+ off from work, as I no longer could function due to the extreme anxiety and insomnia caused by the harm Andrea Austin and Mary Krempa inflicted on me. I never experienced insomnia or mental illnesses in my whole life until THIS. Dr. Berger told me that the nerve damage could last 7-10 years, and he told me that even he couldn't tell exactly when my skin would be back to normal. He told me the best is not to disturb the damaged nerves on my cheeks. So, please be very careful if you have laser treatment at BACD. Dr. Berger trained most of the current derms at UCSF, and he was even the interim chair of the dermatology dept at UCSF (there are 70+ derms there). He was extremely kind and knowledgeable, and took so much time to explain and answer all my questions. The experience was a stark contrast to Andrea Austin, who refused to take any responsibility for what they had done to my face. Both my current derm, Dr. MacGregor, and Dr. Lewis at Stanford highly think of Dr. Berger, and Dr. Lewis even suggested sending Dr. Berger's notes to Andrea.  I blindly trusted Andrea Austin based on my positive previous experience with Dr. Welsh, and I am paying a hefty price for the biggest mistake of my life. Andrea Austin is so sure of herself (if you see her, you will know what I mean), but what she did to me is BEYOND unethical and comprehensible. Had I continued to listen to her, she would have further destroyed and damaged my skin.  If you decide to go to Andrea Austin, you MUST keep in mind that you will never get any help from this practice when things go wrong, no matter what PR employees say.
