I've been going to Iva for about over a year now. She has changed my skin. Before finding her I was struggling with constant breakouts that were minimally responsive to birth control pills, Retin-A, antibiotics, and so forth. Iva is very knowledgable and skilled. My skin is happy and I'm no longer on any harsh medications. I use the products she recommends and see her once a month for a facial. Some advice: - the extractions are painful, take Motrin prior to your appointment - agree to the soothing program afterward, it'll help with the post-extraction inflammation - she never pushes products on you, but after some hesitation, I tried them and they do suit my skin better - if you have an event, get the facial done at least 3 days in advance as your face will be a little inflamed and red afterward - if you have a lesion the pops up go see Iva, in-between facials, she'll clean up problem spots free of charge I only trust Iva with my skin now. I'm a physician and she's my go-to-person over any dermatologist.

Surprised by all the positive reviews , I had an awful experience. The lights went out and I was stuck an extra two hours. She was screaming with the landlord on the phone and working on my face so she accidentally got spit in my face. Ew. Unpleasant experience. Didn't feel like a relaxing spa at all. She wouldn't describe what she's doing to your face, she'll just rub random creams and start poking around. I'm never coming back again. I had so much acne and it didn't clear up at all. Instead of helping me and telling me what to do to help my skin, she just yelled at me like I purposely try to get myself more acne. Worst place ever.

This review is long overdue. I've been going to Iva consistently for more than 13 years. There is literally no one like her-- an absolute perfectionist and the best esthetician I have ever been to. Even after moving to California and Miami, I always travel back to New York to see her because she is the best. When I am unable to see her, I have tried other places like Skin Spirit in Palo Alto, and Skintique in coral gables, but they genuinely fall far below what Iva provides. Iva and Aphrodite are like family to me. They are both extremely passionate about what they do and they are perfectionists, meticulously extracting from every pore with a magnifying glass. Whenever I go, it's like the most amazing day of my life and for weeks after my skin is completely clear. There is no need to put on make up because my skin looks so radiant and healthy due to their extractions and galvanic soothing therapy (which Iva actually explained to me about how it works at a cellular level through electroosmosis). Iva is extremely knowledgeable about skin and much more hands on than a dermatologist. She will remove infected pimples without a mark and make your skin look so youthful. My mom has anti aging therapies and has been asked multiple times if she has ever had work done.

You will be thrilled if you go to this spa. I live in Manhattan and have been going to Iva's Skin Care for about 30 years. I have not found another skin spa in the New York area that comes even close in quality. It was previously called Aphrodite's. Skin Care. I have sent friends and relatives, and they have all been thrilled with the results. They rave about how their skin looks. Going to Iva's is like going to an exclusive skin care spa in Europe. She uses the best technology and products. Each time I leave her spa, my skin looks like a million dollars.

Iva is an expert at what she does. I would not put my face in anyone else's hands. Not only does she makes your face glow- she makes you feel relaxed.

Iva is a true professional ! I've been searching for a right esthetician in the area and here she is . First the facial menu is incredible. Iva analyzed my skin type and came up with the most beneficial facial for me . Iva is a perfectionist and she takes her time...She spent over 2 hours with me , explaining every step and how it is going to effect my skin . She is not pushy selling skin products or treatments like the most of spas, she just gives great suggestions and tips . I enjoyed the process itself - everything is super clean . My skin felt great. My pores tightened , my skin looked brighter and refreshed. Definitely recommending!
