I’ve been going to Illuminate for years for Botox and a few other treatments. I absolutely love that they not only keep me looking my best, but they are always up to date with the latest procedures to provide the best services to complement my needs and the needs of my friends and family.
I was really excited to get Daxxify at Illuminate a few months ago instead of Botox. Daxxify can last 6 months! It’s been a great recommendation for me. I’m getting great results with less visits. If you're looking for a medical spa and plastic surgery that you can trust, I highly recommend you see the team at Illuminate.
This review is for Kristina. I’m so happy to have found Kristina as my injector. She’s super friendly , makes you feel comfortable and really takes her time. I had to dissolve my lip filler and start over and she did it perfectly! I don’t have any bruising either! Very pleased with my results. Thank you
My consultation with the doctor was canceled two weeks before the appointment because I got pregnant. They refused to refund me for my payment after I called several times and finally started to contact me after I left online review.
Got very bad botox result which almost ruined my face just before my vacation, expressed dissatisfactory with the injector Kylie but she thought I looked fine so I didn't get any help by revisiting her. I went to another place and spent $2000+ to fix my face and then was told by Illuminate that my result wasn't good because I didn't see their master injector, and there is nothing they can do because I went to another place. Funny.
Their Sculpture machine broke in the middle of my treatment, and that was very painful. Be aware. Will never come back.
I had the pleasure of getting Botox, lip filler, and skin care from Kristina. It was my first time having any procedures done and she made me feel so comfortable. She explained everything she was going to do and answered every question I had. She also really listened to what I liked and didn’t like. She made the experience so enjoyable and I am over the moon with my results. She’s also really great with aftercare and happy to answer my questions after I leave. I will definitely be returning to Illuminate and Kristina. I’ve even referred several friends to her and they’ve all had equally amazing experiences and were more than satisfied with their results. Thank you Kristina!!!
Although I’ve interacted with Kristina the most, every member of the Illuminate team is so professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Their office is super nice and modern. It’s always spotless and they follow covid procedures. I would recommend Illuminate to anyone looking for a Plastic Surgeons office.
This review is long overdue! I had been looking to remove a couple of “mistakes” aka tattoos, that 17 yr. old me made. I knew that the surest way was laser treatment.
I researched places from San Jose to San Francisco and stumbled upon Illuminate Plastic Surgery on Yelp. They were close by, and I loved the whole aspect of a husband and wife team. They also offered a free consult, so what did I have to lose? I made an appointment and showed up to their office which is clean, modern, and easy to find. (Can’t wait to see their new location!)
I had no idea what to expect when I met Molly but her cheerful personality instantly put me at ease. She thoroughly explained the use of the PicoSure laser, side effects, number and cost of treatments, and answered every single one of my questions. She made sure to set my expectations that this wasn’t going to be a one and done treatment, and it would take time. I purchased a series of 6 treatments done 6-8 weeks apart and I am now on #5 and the progress is amazing, I wish I had taken more pictures!
September 2018 - I also had lip fillers (Juvederm) with Molly and the experience was just as awesome. She’s so informative and ensures the procedures are as painless as possible with minimal side effects.
October 2018 - I had a pretty big skin tag in a really sensitive and uncomfortable place. My primary care doctor advised me to leave it alone, stating the recovery and risk for infection outweighed the benefits. It posed no medical issue but it was highly detrimental to my self esteem. I had my consult with Dr. B and he agreed with my doctor about the risk and benefits but also advocated for my comfort and confidence. I decided to go ahead with the procedure and literally felt NO pain. My recovery was effortless and my confidence got a huge boost.
I love coming to Illuminate because it’s almost like going to hang out with my friend, who just happens to be an NP with an MD hubby that work together to help revamp you into most confident and best form of yourself. Also everyone in their office is very kind and accommodating! Whatever you need, I would totally recommend Illuminate Plastic Surgery!
