I had an amazing experience getting Botox at Marin Medical Aesthetics! The entire process was seamless—absolutely no pain, bruising, bleeding, or swelling. The treatment was incredibly comfortable, and the staff made sure everything felt effortless. Such a pleasant and professional experience from start to finish! I highly recommend them for anyone looking for top-notch care and flawless results.

I had been sleeping on my shoulder wrong for months and ended up not being able to move my shoulder easily. I had one treatment so far with the new emsculpt procedure at Marin Medical Aesthetics and the discomfort is subsiding and mobility improving ! It was easy and painless. I can’t wait to have the next few treatments to see even more improvement!

I had an amazing experience at Marin Medical Aesthetics. Marylouise is incredible! The clinic is spotless and welcoming, and she made me feel comfortable throughout my treatment. The results are amazing.
Highly recommend.

I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive at first because other med spas were intimidating but as soon as I walked in I was warmly welcomed. Dr. Bacchi, Marylouise, Suzanne and all of the other lovely ladies have made it so easy and comfortable. After listening to my concerns and hopes they were able to arrange a package custom to me. Now after several treatments I’m happy with the results and plan on continuing, not only in the current treatment but others as well. I’m so glad I took the leap and joined this team.

Thank you so much, MMA!!

After giving a lot of thought to refreshing my aging face, I found Marin Medical Aesthetics. Meeting Dr. Bacchi and her exemplary staff convinced me I was in good hands to proceed with a non-invasive program. The treatments so far have been delivered by professionals - namely Suzanne with her expertise in Emface and Exion, and Michelle for soothing facials.
Dr. Bacchi embodies the true expert in her field of medicine as she instills confidence in the revolutionary programs she develops and recommends. And the new products I am using feel like silk on my skin!
Ilook forward to continuing this journey knowing everyone at MMA - including receptionists Mary Louise and Trish - have my best interests at heart. Thank you for making me feel so welcomed and hopeful.

I've hesitated for the greater part of a year to write this review, but given that I'm still facing the aftermath of treatments that had adverse effects, I feel like it's time.

In July or August of 2023, I had a laser treatment done to target sun spots/hyperpigmentation on my face and arms —  a treatment I've had done many times with no adverse effects at my prior dermatologist in Virginia. I had the treatment done ahead of a special birthday event in which there was going to be a professional photographer doing both photos at the event and portraits of me afterward.

Unfortunately, that treatment did not go well. The treatment on my face did not remove any of the targeted hyperpigmentation (which was a first) and the treatment to my arms left permanent loss of pigmentation, resulting in bold white spots all over my arms. (When visiting my dermatologist back home several months later, she said that I must have been burnt by the laser and that the loss of pigmentation was likely permanent.) These were so noticeable in all of the photos that I asked the photographer to edit them out. And my friends were shocked by the appearance.

Dr. Bacchi was proactive and empathetic, which is why I'm giving this review 2 stars instead of 1. She proactively arranged several (free) office visits, follow-up treatments, and products to try to treat the discoloration. While the white spots have become less visible with sun exposure, I was left with mild but seemingly permanent discoloration.

Because of Dr. Bacchi's responsiveness, I continued getting other services there, but was adamant about not feeling comfortable with additional laser treatments that caused the discoloration.

Eventually, I decided to schedule a microneedling treatment, spot targeting specific areas, which I've also had at my former dermatologist. Unfortunately, this service also went poorly, leaving me with new scarring above my lip. Once the rest of my face healed from the treatment, I was left with what looked like a red bullseye above my lip. I called the office expressing concern, and they scheduled another complimentary consultation. This, once again, yielded free products to target the discoloration. After a couple of months, the redness mostly receded, but the scar is still very pronounced. Once the bullseye effect faded, additional ripple scars became evident that almost look like smoker lines — but only on one side of my lip. (And I've never ever been a smoker.)

I've continued to use top-of-the-line skincare products to try and reduce this scarring, but several months later, it's prominent when I look in the mirror and see myself in photos. Interestingly, unlike the first treatment gone awry, I never received any follow-up contact to see how the scarring was going.

I hate to have to write this review, but given the cost of aesthetic dermatology and the emotional impact of visible scarring/discoloration, I feel that I need to. I've since switched dermatologists and we're working on a treatment plan to try and correct the new scarring above my lip.

This was my first experience. There are forms to fill out, including family/ medical hostory. Dr Bacchi was very friendly & easy to talk to. She listens and asks what you want.
I have had several appts with Marin Medical Aesthetics. I had another consult with Dr Bacchi who was very kind and explained what I had experienced without prejudice. I appreciate her help because this is very new to me. I am on a journey to look better in my clothes. I will let everyone know how everything turns out after treatment is completed .

I love this med spa! I have had several types of services and I have been so satisfied with the results and the service. The facials with microblading are wonderful as a monthly maintenance. I can’t recommend this med-spa enough.
