I'm there every 4-10 weeks Sandra always does what my skin needs, she is phenomenal!
I've happy with the results on my facial & neck skin !

I’ve been getting laser treatment for my beard and hydrafacials by Cynthia for the last few months now and the results are insane! She is very meticulous and I always leave with great results. She showed me some products as well to help achieve my goal and they have been working wonders. Highly recommend Cynthia!

I keep coming back because she truly takes the time to understand my skin’s needs and always makes me feel cared for. Sandra is warm, kind, and incredibly thorough, and the relaxing massage at the end is the perfect finishing touch, it always leaves me feeling refreshed

I visited AES Med Spa for the first time after being referred by a friend. I received the Glow & Sculpt Package and my experience was so relaxing. Carolina did my 60 min massage and Cynthia actually did my facial. Both women were awesome and I felt comfortable during my treatments. The space was beautiful, scheduling is easy, and the staff is friendly and welcoming! Overall, I had a 10/10 experience!

Dermaplaning is a gentle, physical exfoliation suitable for most skin types. Your aesthetician will confirm it's a good fit during your consultation.
No. Most patients describe it as a painless, relaxing scraping sensation with no discomfort.
Many patients repeat every 3 to 4 weeks in line with the skin's natural renewal cycle.
