“Belle is a true artist with her Botox placement. She listened to my concerns and addressed my needs perfectly. She has a very gentle hand, as well. I will definitely be coming back to Belle for Botox and any injectable!“
“My Semaglutide storyWhile going in to Revivamed for botox, I saw a flyer about a weight loss medication and inquired. The nurse Jen, told me about it and that she herself had used semaglutide to lose weight. Having seen that my BMI was 1 point away from being in the ‘obese’ category was the freak out/wakeup call I needed. My auto immune disorder (rheumatoid arthritis) made it more urgent to do something about my weight. I was exercising (walking) and recently had started a dance class but the weight never seemed to come off.Dr. Kohani reviewed my bloodwork and approved. She is very thorough and requires a patient to submit new labs every 12 weeks. This reassured me that she was carefully monitoring my progress on the medication.Regina and Paola have been so kind, helpful and encouraging. Every week when I come in for the injection I feel like I have my own cheer squad! They note any side effects and gave me good tips on dealing with nausea (thanks for the ginger!) By the way, the needle is so tiny you can’t feel it.After being on semaglutide for 5 months I can honestly say it has changed my life for the better. Except for a short period (when I was smoking, and living in another country), I have struggled my entire life being overweight.I am not ashamed to say I did need to use this medication to educate myself about my relationship with food and to learn what ‘full’ meant. Full is not ‘stuffed’ or ‘uncomfortable’, it is simply being satisfied. Semaglutide has taught me that I don’t need as much as I thought I did. Growing up in a ‘clean plate’ culture where wasting food was not acceptable I have learned that is okay (and healthier) to leave food on the plate when I’m not hungry anymore. My portions have dramatically shrunk. I now think in terms of how much food does my body require… for me it’s usually a child sized portion. Now, I’m completely satisfied with a small piece of chocolate…and don’t feel the need for ‘just a little bit more’. Semaglutide is a tool, it is not a quick fix. You cannot eat 3 pieces of cheesecake and expect your body to be fine with that. This medication makes you listen to your body. Initially the nausea and heartburn were, at times, difficult. Ginger chews and herbal teas worked very well to ease my symptoms. Also, eating a light dinner early helped me to not feel overly full before bed. This improved my sleep. Nausea dissipated as my body got used to the dosage. Semaglutide may have side effects, but so does obesity.The benefits of dropping the excess weight are life changing. I am now taking 4 dance classes a week, plantar fasciitis has disappeared, even my rheumatologist said that weight loss will reduce inflammation in my body easing the rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. I recently went to the eye doctor and she told me that even my vision has improved because of healthy eating and exercise!Semaglutide has been a powerful catalyst. I am so grateful to Nurse Jen for sharing her personal experience (she gave me permission to share) and to Dr. Kohani for guiding me in my weight loss journey.Thanks Revivamed!“
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Emami for over 2 years. I had a CO2 treatment today along with Daxify. She always makes sure her patients are comfortable with numbing cream and/or lidocaine. She’s very knowledgeable and truly cares about making her patients look great. I’ve received many compliments on my skin and people don’t believe I’m my age. I would recommend anyone wanting to improve their skin and health, to make a consultation with her.“
“I am going to the Spa for weight loss and the staff and nurses are fantastic, as well as the results. They make sure I’m informed and keep close tabs on my progress.“

“I love La Jolla Laser Clinic! it is really the best place in town for aesthetic treatments. Tammy is such a skilled clinician, and so nice! Laura is so helpful, and makes every effort to be sure you are comfortable. I experienced no bruising, and looked great the next day! I will keep coming back, even though it is quite a drive for me! I had filler this time.“
“I had a great manicure with Mary today. She was so friendly, fast and thorough. I used to to go to the nail salon above Bristol Farms in the Costa Verde shopping center and many of the women who worked in that salon for 10+ years are at The Nails Club. It's in a great location- I do all of my grocery shopping at the Whole Foods and CVS and it's very convenient to go there.“
“Sunny is amazing. Very patient, explains everything. Very professional with amazing results“
“We, my wife and I, are spoiled by the wonderful service at TP! This visit started with a wonderful reception at the front desk with smiles and happiness! Our time with Melissa was great, and she is wonderful. Her helper however, was awful and unusual for TP. We told her the room was small, needed another chair, etc. She was mean and her answers were, " Large room busy, no extra chair, etc. Always no and not nice. Other than her, all was great! Alan Gary“
“The most perfect experience all around, I will definitely be back! Easy, comfortable, and fun…can’t wait for that afterglow in a few weeks! Thank you Lexie and PFAM team!“
