In the over $5000 I have spent on laser hair removal, I have had zero results. It also took up a year of my life....going every 6-7 weeks. So no sun, tanning, etc for nearly a year!

I have been going to Christina for the last couple years to have Brazilian sugaring treatments…read moresince she was in a salon near Moonlight Beach... and I hope she always stays in town because I can't imagine going to anyone else! The new salon,which has been open for a couple weeks now, is such a better location! It's newer, has fresh floors and paint, and is more spacious which makes me feel even more comfortable getting my sugaring done. Since her move to this location, her Brazilian sugaring service is just as great. I have not yet had a spa or facial service, but I look forward to trying them someday. For anyone wondering how sugaring is different than waxing, you really ought to just try it. I have a thicker hair texture and, since switching to sugaring, I have fewer ingrown hairs and slower growth. By the way, if you do have any difficult ingrown hairs, let Christina know and she may be able to extract them for you. :) So happy for their move to this beautiful new place.

Absolutely love Raiza at Avalon Laser! I went in for Dysport and was genuinely impressed by how…read moreprofessional, knowledgeable, and gentle she was throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely at ease. The results were exactly what I was hoping for super natural, smooth, and refreshed-looking without that "frozen" effect. Raiza really has a great eye and a light touch. You can tell she truly cares about achieving subtle, balanced results that enhance your features rather than overdo them. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who's not only skilled but also kind, attentive, and detail-oriented :)

On June 21, 2025, I visited Avalon Laser to treat a few facial spider veins after seeing the…read moredoctor's work on social media and reading positive Google reviews. What I expected to be a routine cosmetic procedure unfortunately resulted in a much more difficult outcome for me (photos attached). Shortly after the treatment, leaky blisters formed, and about a week later they developed into scabs on the treated areas. When the scabs eventually came off, many areas appeared indented and concerning. During virtual follow-up consultations, I was told the healing process appeared to be normal. However, my skin continued to worsen, and I later sought care at an emergency room, where the injuries were documented as burns and I was referred for dermatologic follow-up. Avalon Laser offered additional treatment options, including a CO laser session or microneedling at their facility, and also suggested that I see a dermatologist in the Los Angeles area. I did undergo one CO laser session with Avalon Laser, but I ultimately decided not to continue treatment at the clinic because I no longer felt comfortable proceeding there. To their credit, the clinic checked in with me virtually on a regular basis and offered encouragement during the healing process. However, my recovery has been much longer and more challenging than I expected based on how my skin appeared. Since then, I have consulted with several specialists and undergone multiple treatments in an effort to improve my skin. The recovery process has been lengthy, painful, and uncertain. The clinic refunded the cost of the original treatment, which I appreciated, but it has not come close to covering the many additional medical visits, treatments, medications, and skincare products I have needed since then. The emotional impact has also been very difficult. For weeks I struggled to sleep and often cried at night. I became withdrawn and stopped seeing friends because I felt embarrassed about my appearance. What began as a simple cosmetic procedure has turned into a long and ongoing recovery. I attempted to pursue compensation through legal counsel and sent a demand letter, but I did not receive a response. I also followed up by email without success. I am sharing my personal experience so that others can be aware and carefully consider their options before undergoing treatment.

I've been going to revive med spa Encinitas for years, it never disappoints. The staff is always friendly, they never upsell, they actually help me find discounts! It's a spa like experience every time.

Revive Encinitas and Ryann are literal angels. I could not be happier with my experience here, I…read moretruly will never go anywhere else. I had a consultation with Ryann in May for Botox and fillers, and from the moment I met her I felt so taken care of and valued. Ryann was SO kind, courteous, professional, bubbly, just a delightful person to be around. She treated my concerns with compassion, she explained what treatment options were available and made sure to give a thorough explanation for each different potential service so I understood what each treatment would do. She recommended specific treatments based on what would be a good fit, and in addition to specific fillers, she suggested Daxxify as the neurotoxin vs Botox. We formulated a plan that I was so excited about, and Ryann's passion for her job and excitement about our actual appointment was so appreciated, it made me feel like she truly was happy that I was happy. For the actual med spa treatment day, it could truly not have gone better if I wanted it to. Ryan was SO thorough and detailed every step of the way, I felt comfortable and safe during the process. She mapped out injection sites with great precision, she explained everything she was doing as she worked, she made sure I was not in pain or discomfort, and she was confident in her work which made me feel so much more comfortable. We talked throughout the process and again, her personality is so wonderful and bubbly, it felt like chatting with a friend. Her work is literal magic. The second I looked in the mirror I teared up to see immediate improvement in my face. To have confidence restored and the relief of liking what you see in the mirror is invaluable, and I am so thankful to have trusted Ryann with this process. Before I left, I was able to see Heidi as a last minute add on for under eye filler. Ryann recommended her as she is proficient in under eye filler, and I appreciated her setting me up with the best fit for that particular service. Heidi was incredibly thorough, detailed, professional, and a master of her craft! She also took the time to explain the healing process which I appreciated! For my results- I am thrilled. Not just happy, but THRILLED. I saw an immediate difference from the fillers alone, but it's now been almost a week since the treatments and the Daxxify is LIFE CHANGING. The "Daxxify glow" is SO real, my face is literally glowing to where I've had multiple people comment on it. The wrinkles/crows feet are GONE. We did a Nefertiti neck lift and I am ecstatic about this in particular, my chin has always been my biggest insecurity and this has made a NOTICEABLE improvement! I know full results for the Daxxify take around two weeks, but I'm already just elated not even a week in. I will be returning to Ryann for every single med spa treatment in the future, I will literally never go anywhere else. The part I appreciate so much is that she seemed truly excited and happy for me, that just made me feel so valued as a guest. Everyone here from the phone team during booking to the wonderful reception team to Ryann and Heidi were phenomenal, professional, and just a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend Revive Encinitas enough, and if you are looking for fillers or neurotoxins PLEASE ask for Ryann, she is MAGIC. And if you are looking into under eye filler, Heidi is incredible!

It was for a full body wax, but when I called to make the appointment, Minda just kept saying "it's soooo much work". I told her that it's fine, I won't buy it if she doesn't want to do it. She said she would still honor the deal but kept repeating it's so much work and would take hours and that Groupon was supposed to take the ad down. It felt like she wanted me to offer to pay more, but I just said it sounds like she doesn't want to do it so I can go elsewhere and she said she would prefer that. I think turning someone away in that way was unprofessional and it made me really uncomfortable that she kept telling me how much work it is. She shouldn't offer a service she isn't willing to follow through with. It was just a very uncomfortable experience.
