    Most recent picture. My skin is so clear!

    This is a long overdue review! I have been going to Kimberly consistently for about 2.5 years. My skin took the biggest turn when I finally started to listen to Kimberly's suggestion with products. It didn't realize how the products I was using was the main cause of my acne. My biggest advice would be to be consistent with your appointments and most importantly LISTEN to Kimberly's suggestions she knows what she is doing!!!! Stumbling upon Kimberly has been such a blessing! I finally feel confident with no makeup. I can confidently say she has herself a life long client!

    Some light hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and acne scarring. These will improve over time.

    Wow, I've known Kimberly for 9 years. In the years after I initially saw Kimberly in 2013 (at age 25), for my hormonal acne outbreak, I had mostly acne-free skin with only an occasional pimple here and there. I had fallen into the typical trend of using Groupons or deals/promotions I saw on IG or Facebook for facials and tried new skincare products from popular brands like Rodan & Fields, Tatcha, or whatever I saw on Sephora (i.e. Drunk Elephant, Peter Thomas Roth to name a couple).* After my latest "trend" of going to Skin Laundry for monthly facials due to a hormonal acne outbreak on my face and my chest, my skin got worse and I didn't know what to do. But really, I did know what to do, but here I was trying to "save" money by finding deals. To be honest with you, I probably spent more money on stuff that did not work for my skin (I'm sorry, Kimberly!). I came back to Kimberly again in October of 2021 (now, age 33) and she graciously took me back as a client and my skin has been happy to be back with her. After monthly facials (and sometimes neck facials), getting rid of all makeup that was acne-causing, changing my daily skin care regimen, I am happy to say that my skin is feeling much healthier, more vibrant, and is acne-free! Kimberly is still working with me with facials to improve my acne scarring and I am still using her products religiously. Even though I've moved to San Diego, I am close enough to where I can get a facial with her whenever I'm visiting family back in OC. Kimberly also ships her skincare products, which is a blessing for me in case I run out of items in my regimen. I usually try to pick up products every time I see her for a facial. I am so thankful for her and will not trust anyone else with my skin care. Like I said before, Kimberly is open, honest, and communicative. I trust her with my skin just like how I trust my chiropractor to crack my back! If you have acne-prone skin or want anti-aging effects on your skin, look no further! *Disclaimer: I am in no way saying that the products I've tried from the companies I mentioned in my post do not work, I'm just saying that they did not work for me. This was not a paid promotion, just my own personal experience and story. Since the pandemic, I have come to love supporting small business and this is Kimberly to the T!

    The best products!

    Just coming here to to leave another review! I've been seeing Kimberly for years now and have seen the results in my skin! Within the last 2 years I've brought my teenage daughter in to help with her newly developed acne. Now we come to see Kimberly every 2 or 3 weeks and getting her on new home care has done wonders! Because her acne is newer and changing all the time, it took a minute but we are on the perfect home care routine! It's the simple things like having someone else instruct your daughter (instead of you) on how to take care of her skin! We love coming in and relaxing! It's such a wonderful time and we are so comfortable with Kimberly.

    Another photo of my skin with makeup and texture of my skin. Lots of tiny bumps especially around my forehead and chin.

    I've been struggling with my skin ever since I got on birth control in 2016. I always had not so cute acne and lil bumps on my face. It's always made me feel insecure. Especially when I would get a cystic pimple. I would go get expensive facials but it never helped my issue. It got worse when I tried using stronger products in hopes of making it better . It became the worst it has ever been in my life after I tried these stronger products I bought from Sephora. It gave me cystic acne under my chin. It wasn't fun. I would cringe anytime I felt how bumpy it was. So I felt hopeful when I found Kimberly on here because I could tell she actually heals acne instead of giving you a foo foo fluffy spa experience that never did much for me in the past. I knew she was legit when she had me bring in my makeup and the products I was using to cleanse my skin. She wanted to check the ingredients to see what helped my skin and what didn't. No esthetician has ever done that. It made me feel like I was in good hands. Long story short I made a commitment to come in on a weekly basis. I was determined to clear my skin with Kimberly. I wasn't even sure if it was possible to clear my skin. But here I am now acne free with soft skin! I feel SOOOO grateful for Kimberlys help! I feel so much better and more confident now that I have clear skin. Kimberly put me on a the best skin care routine I have ever had in my entire life. I'm always thinking about her and the gratitude I have towards her! Thank you soo much Kimberly!!

    Just wanted to update my review with some pictures. I know when I'm going to reviews I like to see proof. Feel so much more confident in my own skin. I even went out of my house with no makeup on the other day which was a huge step for me!!

    Dec 26, 2024 after approximately 4 months working with Kimberly; no makeup

    Before and after pictures from the 4 months I've been working with Kimberly. Safe to say my life has completely changed. I used to be controlled by my skin and it was extremely damaging to my self esteem and ability to feel confident in life and at work. You can see in the photos how much my skin has changed with the treatments Kimberly has been doing and the at-home routine she's curated for me. She has always been very accommodating to my request that everything be pregnancy safe since I want to start trying in the near future. The treatments and products are expensive (though "expensive" is a relative term!!) but if you're struggling with your skin and have the capacity to invest in a solution, this is the key. Also, the products are definitely not more expensive than any other nice skin care lines you may be exploring on your own with trial and error! And certainly more effective than anything I've tried from my dermatologist or over-the-counter. Kimberly is the skin guru!!

I first…read morecame in with active acne, dark marks, and scarring, and from the beginning I felt genuinely cared for. Every provider here is wonderful I don't recommend one specific doctor because they are all amazing. My treatment plan was very thorough and thoughtful. We started with oral medications, skincare routines, and facials, and my doctor took the time to try different oral options to see what worked best for my skin instead of rushing the process. Once my acne was under control, I moved on to laser treatments to help with scarring and pigmentation, and the improvement has been life changing. This place truly feels like a second home. Every single provider I've seen has been kind, patient, and knowledgeable, and you can tell they genuinely want the best results for their patients. I also want to give a special shoutout to Marisol at the front desk, she is honestly the reason I love coming in. She is so patient, welcoming, and kind, and she always makes my day better the moment I walk in. Little things like that matter so much. They even have snacks and drinks, which just adds to how comfortable and welcoming the environment feels. I've attached my before and after photos because the results speak for themselves. I'm so grateful for this office and everyone who works here.

    The front desk experience was extremely disappointing…read more My first visit to this clinic was actually very positive. My insurance declined the payment at the time, and Dr. James kindly gave me a discount to help me out. That left such a good impression on me that I continued coming back afterward. Even when I previously had an allergic reaction to medication prescribed here, I chose not to complain because I trusted this clinic. So when my lips suddenly became swollen this time, this clinic was still the first place I came to. Unfortunately, this experience felt completely different. The front desk staff simply kept repeating that I had to pay $150 and made no effort to communicate my situation to Dr. James. Ironically, when I explained my insurance situation to the doctor directly, he did try to check for me. After my surgery, I still had questions about the procedure itself and wanted to briefly speak with the doctor again, but the front desk just told me there would be post-care later. I understand doctors are busy, and I was completely willing to wait. I had just undergone a small surgery, asking to briefly speak with my doctor should not feel like asking for a special privilege. Her tone makes me feel like I need her approval and she is the security to guard the doctor. All of these was not an issue when I was in the DTLA location, the doctor always follow-up a little bit when I check out and both the cashier and front desk are friendly. Costa Mesa and DTLA locations gave me completely different experiences. After being a customer for years, what disappointed me most was that the attitude only became nicer after I expressed how upset I was. Why I should even have to argue with her when my lip is still numb? If the front desk staff's role is mainly financial and they do not have basic people skills, then they should not be in a front desk position at a medical clinic. A professional front desk staff member should at least show some level of care and empathy toward patients, especially patients who just underwent a small surgery and are already stressed or uncomfortable.

She's truly my favorite injector - her aesthetic…read moreeye, gentle approach, and attention to detail have made all the difference in my treatments. From the start, Pauline (RN) has made me feel at ease. I came in for Sculptra and was expecting at least some bruising (totally normal!), but I didn't bruise at all - which honestly speaks to her technique and gentle touch. Of course, results vary, but it was a great surprise. What I appreciate most is Pauline's aesthetic eye. She takes a thoughtful, long-term approach, never rushing or overdoing it. We've been slowly working to restore volume in a way that still feels like me - just a fresher version. I've also had PGF under my eyes (noticed a visible improvement!) and Botox, and have been happy with the results. If you're looking for someone with a light touch, sharp eye and kind presence, I can't recommend Pauline enough. And honestly, the best compliment I can give? Friends keep asking what I've been doing - because the results speak for themselves. So grateful to be in her care!

    I had a lower blepharoplasty and Wave Lift (a lower facelift with endoscopic dissection and facial…read moremuscle repositioning) at Wave Plastic Surgery three months ago, and unfortunately, I've been very disappointed with the results. Originally, I went in for a consultation specifically for a lower blepharoplasty. However, during the appointment, both Verana and Dr. Peter Lee strongly encouraged me to also undergo the Wave Lift, stating it would create a more balanced and youthful overall result. Verana spoke highly of Dr. Lee's expertise, emphasizing his steady, skilled hand and how the Wave Lift allowed for precise repositioning of facial muscles, especially in the jaw and lower face, with minimal scarring. I was told that while it cost more, it was a long-term investment in my appearance and that I would be happy with the outcome. They also tried to upsell me on a chin augmentation, which I ultimately declined because it felt excessive for what I was initially seeking. While I understand that healing can take time, I'm still seeing issues that are hard to ignore. The right side of my face has several areas where it looks like fat was removed, leaving visible hollows, along with a small blemish-like bump and a dimple on my upper cheek -- none of which were there prior to surgery. I used to feel confident favoring that side of my face, but now I find myself covering it daily with makeup and my hair. The most troubling result has been the lower blepharoplasty. It seems excessive fat was removed from under my eyes, resulting in a sunken, hollowed appearance. Rather than looking refreshed and well-rested, I now appear more tired and aged -- exactly what I was hoping to avoid. My primary concern going into surgery -- clearly discussed during my pre-op consultation -- was the lower portion of my face. That's why I agreed to the Wave Lift. I had no interest in altering my upper cheek area, yet it now looks noticeably different in a way I never asked for. I'm also still seeing prominent buccal fat in the lower face, which I was told could be addressed, and I've developed unusual grooves at eye level on both sides that weren't present before surgery. I have a follow-up appointment scheduled and hope some of these concerns can be addressed, but I felt it was important to share my experience. I expected more natural, balanced results -- and a more thoughtful, patient-centered post-op process -- especially from a clinic with such a polished reputation. Cost of Lowr Bleph: $7000 Cost of Wave Lift: $16,350 With other fees, total $28, 958
