  • Jody A. North Tustin, CA

    “I have been a client of Skinetics for over a decade. Hard to believe, but I am a loyal customer for a number of reasons. First, Skinetics uses skin care techniques and products that are clinically proven to produce results. Unlike a “feel good” skin spa, your specific treatments and products are customized for you. Second, the staff are wonderful, professional, you will not feel hurried and they will not put pressure on the customer to buy products that have no value. Skinetics may be the only reason I don’t move out of California!”

  • Sasha B. Aliso Viejo, CA

    “I have been coming to Kara for the last 9 years and I LOVE how my skin feels. I will not allow anyone else to touch my face and will not get a facial done anywhere else. 5 Months ago I had my first experience with Botox and I am so glad that I had Dr. Nelson do it! I was very nervous about the outcome, but was rest assured that I would love it.. and sure enough I am OBSESSED with it! Thank you both so much and I look forward to a very long and lasting relationship with Skinetics!!”

Thanks for the wonderful products, professionalism and knoweledge that you GIRLS have!”

  • Pamela K. Yorba Linda, CA

They have products for all types of skin. I totally recommend Skinetics to everyone! If you’re interested in laser treatments they do that, too! Check them out!”

Leah has also gently guided me to take better care of my skin at home with the use of great Skinetics products. I simply could not do without her excellent skillful and professional treatments. Thank you again Leah and Skinetics!”

  • Cindy V. Westminster, CA

    “I’ve been going to Skinetics for almost 5 years, and can not say enough about the staff. Leah has done wonders for my skin, and tailors my treatments and skin care products depending on what my skin needs. Dr. Nelson is also very efficient, professional, and knowledgeable, and takes the time to answer any questions. I’d recommend any of my friends and family to Leah, Kara, and/or Dr. Nelson.”

  • Michelle K. Long Beach, CA

    “Leah is my hero!! I have been going to Leah for 6 years and look younger today then I did in 2006. When my daughter and I go out people often think we are sisters and when I tell them I am 53 they can’t beleive it. Leah has transformed by blotchy,painful acned and uneven discolored complextion to a radiant, healthy and youthful glow. Leah is loving and really cares about her clients and I trust in her expertise and knowledge of skincare and skincare products. Most days I don’t wear any make-up but if I do it is a very light powder. Leah also tints and shapes my brows; which I am complemented on often. I use Skinetics product line which is phenomenal. I will never go back to drugstore products.”

  • Victoria P.

  • Tara U. Anaheim, CA

    “Leah at Skinetics is a lifesaver! She is professional, friendly and caring. Although I have been a client for years she never takes that for granted. She is attentive to my skincare needs and always caring to make my skin look the best! I work in the cosmetic industry and have seen that skincare far surpasses any cosmetic product on the market. Leah takes great care of me I wouldn’t even consider anyone or anywhere else.”

  • Tanya O. Oak Hills, CA

    “A recommendation to potential clients of Skinetics is very easy for me. I have been working with Kara McCarthy for over ten years due to a skin condition and the inevitable conditions of advancing age. My experiences with Kara (as well as Leah and Dr. Nelson on occasion) have been so positive that I recommend the entire staff without hesitation. I have found the office to be professional, knowledgeable, conscientious, prompt and approachable each and every time I have visited. I have learned to trust Kara’s judgment concerning the safe and effective treatment and products that have helped me so much over the years. It’s my pleasure to return some measure of the gratitude I feel for the Skinetics staff.”

  • Jody D. Santa Ana, CA

    “I have been going to Kara for probably almost 8 years. I had pretty bad sun damage thanks to growing up near the beach and not having worn sun block…yikes. Kara and her staff are very professional and well educated and stay up on the current treatments and outcomes. Over time my skin has improved greatly. Products or services that you don’t need are NOT pushed, and everything is customized to the client’s needs. I will continue to see Kara as a client for as long as I can!”
