I started going to an RN, Mandy to get some of the blemishes frozen off my face. ( Love Mandy!!) I've been going to her a couple years now and am at the maintenance price. I just got a call from the office stating that they have brought in a new doctor and that is my ONLY option for the same service I was getting before only it is now $100 more. I don't appreciate being bullied by spa. If I wanted to go see a dermatologist I would make an appointment with a dermatologist. It looks like Clara now only caters to the wealthy and a blue collar health care worker like myself can no longer afford to have blemishes removed.

Dan's wife, here.... Rush hour traffic made me five minutes late for my 7:50 AM follow up appointment for treating these miserable SK skin growths. I assumed that the odd appointment time included the common arrival time buffer that most medical providers have these days. I brought a pair of shorts to change into since they offered no disposable coverups for the awkwardness of pulling down my pants to expose the affected skin areas on my legs in the first appointment. Mandy arrived in the treatment room and immediately began scolding me, explaining how that five-minute tardiness put her behind for the rest of the day. Yes, I know how compounding late arrivals works. I felt bad and humbly apologized for the delay. But she wouldn’t let it go, repeating twice more about my five-minute offense. I knew that I would not need another 30-minute appointment for this follow-up, likely more like 15 minutes so I thought there was plenty of time. But it turned out unknown to me that my follow up appointment allowed only 10 minutes. It was poor communication ahead of time about these details on their part. And don’t they build client movement time into the logistics of these appointments? Apparently, not. In the recent years that I have been visiting Clara to remove SK’s, the price has increased in hundred-dollar increments. This year’s $350 treatment includes one 30-minute session and a 10 minute follow up appointment six weeks later. That calculates to over $500 an hour for these services. For that cost, the customer service ought to be exemplary and five-minute offenses should be graciously accommodated. I felt demeaned, like I was being rushed and herded like cattle. I will not go back.

Extremely disorganized, inconsiderate of their patrons time.


Feb 05, 2024

I had melasma and their skin care able to reduced or clear my melasma. Thank you Clara Skincare.


Feb 05, 2024

MANDY is just AMAZING!!!!!! Wonderful experience. Beautiful results. I cant wait to see her again.

OMG! The chemicals that are in the Clara medical skincare is soooooo toxic on the skin!! It took me 7 months to determine why my face was swelling as if I was in a fight, and blistering with skin falling off as if I were burned!! My face LITERALLY made ice cubes sizzle due to how hot my skin was!!! I'm warning you all, please be careful with what you put on your skin!! This was recommended to me by my dermatologist!!!!! But honestly, all doctors are just practicing at the end of the day. I wore nothing but vitamin E on my skin for about a month before my skin started to look and feel normal, I went back to my regular routine using a gentle foundation by it cosmetics with SPF 50 in it, and my skin feels just fine, hydrated even. And then when I was in a hurry I used the UV Luxe by Clara medical skincare tinted sunscreen and my symptoms came back with a vengeance!! My face is blistering, swollen, itchy, and hot! This product is awful!! And to think I paid over $60.00 for this!! All it is, is an expensive poison!! Be careful!!!! You've been warned!! If I could post pictures I would!! I am not exaggerating!

Got an awesome peel done at the clara spa! My skin looks so much more even and brighter! The products are also super gentile and have given my face more of a natural glow!


Feb 05, 2023

I don’t remember my nurses name but she does an amazing job! I get laser genesis and got lip filler recently as well, and I’m so impressed with the results! It’s scary getting cosmetic procedures done, but I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here.


Feb 05, 2023

I purchased a package of genesis laser treatments. I didn’t have the best luck with the treatments but Lisa the manager took great care of me and came up with some solutions to address my concerns. I’m also using Clara skincare and I’m so happy with the products! I use foamy cleanser, vitamin C, moisturizer, under eye cream and the pumpkin enzyme mask 2x a week. The skin care line is amazing I wish I made the switch sooner !

Mandy Brown is fabulous! She takes the time to listen to your concerns and is very thoughtful about her responses. My skin is the healthiest it's ever been.


Feb 05, 2023

Mandy and Victoria and the rest of the team are simply the best. You're in a rather vulnerable state, the first time you visit the clinic, but you leave feeling cherished. It's a treat to reconnect with all of them each time you're there. And Mandy is a gifted aesthetician. 5 stars.


Feb 05, 2023

Mandy was great. Definitely made me feel comfortable with the small procedure I had done.


Feb 05, 2023

Simply the best. Dr.Mikaelian, Nurse Mandy, Madeline, lovely ladies up front. From comfort to conversation that are amazing. 🤍


Feb 05, 2023

The team at Clara Spa is incredible! I am always so impressed with the care and attention I receive from Mandy, Madeline and the team at Clara.


Feb 05, 2023

Wonderful office both: dermatology and Clara. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the providers are knowledgeable and will treat you in the most positive, and professional way!


Feb 05, 2022

Awesome staff and service.


Feb 05, 2022

I LOVE Mandy and the staff. Amazing place to go and give yourself some self love. Best staff EVER!!


Feb 05, 2022

I've been coming to Nurse Mandy for a few years. She is always very kind and extremely knowledgeable. She makes the experience easy and fun. She always goes above and beyond to make sure I understand the plan for what we're doing, and the reason why. She's done my botox for a while now and I love it every time. I've never had a single issue or complaint. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for these services.


Feb 05, 2022

Mandy Brown is the ultimate professional who made me feel at ease during the procedures that she performed on me. She is extremely kind and compassionate. It was a delight to be treated by her and she made me feel 15+years younger. I couldn’t be more pleased with the services she provided and her expertise. I know that I will certainly be asking for her when I am ready for my next treatment.


Feb 05, 2022

Mandy at Clara is AMAZING! She’s so sweet and thorough, professional yet personable. She’s totally honest and will only give you what you NEED - not what she can sell you. I absolutely adore her and my experiences so far at Clara. I’m never going anywhere else!


Feb 05, 2022

Mandy is Amazing! She really listens to your concerns and is always smiling! Everyone at Clara is awesome and so helpful!!


Feb 05, 2022

Mandy is absolutely amazing in every category! She's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, gentle and is highly skilled. She's simply the best in the city!


Feb 05, 2022

Mandy is amazing! She communicated the expectations wonderfully and made the experience comfortable and welcoming.


Feb 05, 2022

Mandy is professional, but she is also caring, outgoing, and charming. I have entrusted her with my esthetic care for a number of years now and feel I look a number of years younger than my actual age.


Feb 05, 2022

Mandy is so kind and I love her sweet voice!


Feb 05, 2022

Mandy is the absolute best at what she does. She is knowledge and helpful for those who are just trying Botox for their first time, or even people (like myself who have been getting it for years) The number one reason I would recommend Mandy, she always recommends the appropriate amount of units for your needs. I have been other places claiming I need way more than what I am comfortable or find necessary to achieve my desired results. Mandy is quick, the process is always painless, and above all, she is a joy to be around. I always look forward to my appointments!


Feb 05, 2022

Mandy is the kindest, most professional and caring medical professional that I have ever worked with.


Feb 05, 2022

This place is amazing and the staff are amazing too!


Feb 05, 2022

Vanguard Skincare/Clara Medispa's staff is very knowledgeable and their level of customer service is top hat.


Feb 05, 2022

Wonderful experience


Feb 05, 2022

All went well during my initial visit for "spot" removal. I'm anxious to see results after a little healing time. Mandy was encouraging (which I needed) and all staff members are professional.
