Skin Specifics Medical Spa

Anusha is really polite with a great bedside manner & knowledge. I went in for a small amount of Botox. Ended up having to go back as she left me pulling around my outer brows. I’m ok with that– but even after the touch up it didn’t help & the Botox felt a bit watered down. I do think she’s a good doctor but I probably won’t return for Botox.

This place is AMAZING! I went in for a consultation for fillers and she knew exactly what I wanted without me saying a word. She answered all my questions patiently and didn’t force me into anything. I had my procedure on Friday and it looks amazing and natural. Anusha was nice and caring and she explained everything before the procedure. I had no bruising and very little swelling for an hour. Her receptionist is very nice and tentative as well.

Warm and welcoming front staff. Anusha was so gentle and kind. Taking so much time to go over my concerns. No up selling or product selling here. Def going back.

I have been seeing Anusha for years. Let’s just say it’s my best kept secret. Nobody could ever guess my age. Anusha & Theresa are the sweetest!!!

Let me start by saying I am a discerning and educated customer. Anusha is simply the best.
Her gentle demeanor coupled with expertise, integrity and an artist’s eye make her a gift in my experience.
She has helped me with my pesky forehead furrows that I jokingly describe as I95. She is an artist and got rid of them without changing my expression at all as others have in the past. She also helped fill in some acne pock marks that have haunted me since my teens!
Theresa, her assistant is a pleasure as well. I honestly look forward to seeing them both again in the very near future!
Thank God I found Anusha! She is truly gifted at what she does.

I’ve been a client of Anusha’s for almost 2 years. First I want to say, Theresa is fantastic at scheduling. She responds straight away and she’s always kind, friendly and courteous. She even put money in my meter because the credit card reader on the machine was broken. Who does that?!
Anusha is the master at Botox. I had been to a couple other places that are highly regarded for Botox, but I never had the best results. Anusha has never let me down. I’ve never had to go back for a re-​touch or adjustment… and I had to at the other places I had tried in the past. She’s always warm and welcoming and remembers things about me that my hairdresser never remembers! I know I’ll always get an honest opinion on what I need from Anusha. She doesn’t try to «up-​sell» you. She’s honest and I appreciate that! I drive from Palos Verdes to see her. It’s worth the drive. I know I’ll age gracefully with her master skills.:)

Been going to Aushu for 5+ years for my Botox and juvederm in my lips. She never disappoints, always taking her time and assessing the area she is working on. Recently I stepped it up and got voluma in my cheeks, just enough to enhance my natural appearance and also add that extra volume I was missing. It looks amazing!!! So happy with my voluma looks great in pictures and in person.

I visited Skin Specifics today. It was my first appointment ever for botox, and thanks to the help of my fellow Unilocalers, I couldn’t be happier! For starters, the office is gorgeous and well-​appointed. I was terrified going into the appointment and as soon as I met Anusha, I immediately felt at ease. She took time to examine my face and discuss what my concerns were to develop the right solution to satisfy the desired results.
In terms of the injections, honestly, Anusha is a magician. I felt barely a pinch!
Thank you to my fellow Unilocalers for once again, sending me to the right place!
I will absolutely be back and look forward to seeing Anusha and Teresa again!

I came in this morning for Juvederm in my lips and couldn’t be happier… they look so good! Soft and natural. Anusha was as sweet as it gets, so gentle and really nice. The office was really pretty and Theresa was also really great. I cant wait to come back!

Anusha is amazing at what she does what can I say. I was looking for someone who can help me achieve beautiful and natural results and I found just the place. When she sits down with you, she will go over all your concerns and really spends the time to exam your face. She won’t recommend anything you don’t need and won’t go over the top. She is very skilled and talented and pays attention to detail. She makes sure you are happy with your results which is very important. She’s a genuine person whom really cares about her patience and will try to work within your means.
The office is very clean & Teresa at the front desk is such a sweetheart. She will take care of you and make sure you will get an appointment when you need one. I love them both and I’m very happy here.

I adore Anusha. I adore her. She is the most kind and talented doc. She’s helped me out with sun damage over the years and I couldn’t be happier. Parking is easy her and her staff are extremely friendly. Love coming here.

Anusha is a GODDESS! Trust me when I say do not go to anybody else. Not only does she have the sweetest, kindest soul, she listens to every one of your needs. She never overdoes it, in fact, on the days where I want a little bit more she has stopped me to make sure I keep my look natural and beauty. I think there is nothing better than nobody noticing you’ve had work done, that you are just blessed with gorgeous natural skin that somehow glows. Take one look at her skin and you will immediately trust anything she is about to do. All I ever say to her is «make my skin look like yours».
Hands done the most talented and gifted at what she does.
Nothing but love. And adoration. X

Anusha is wonderful. She sat down with me and analyzed my skin, really was just very sweet and honest about what I really needed. She said I needed to just help with my discoloration and we talked about lifestyle changes as well. I’ve already recommended Skin Specifics Medical Spa to a friend of mine so I hope she goes and makes an appointment right away, she won’t regret it.
They gave me a highly recommended lightweight sunblock and another cream to help with the discoloration, my skin looks a lot better!

I was skeptical when I first walked in through the door. I had never gotten anything done on my face but wanted to get my lips done to give them a little more accentuation. Oh boy!!! I only got ½ a syringe of juviderm and they looked sooo natural didn’t even bruised and had minor swelling… they looked so good. I decided to go back the next week for the other half and Anusha turned me down and said I didn’t need it. I loved that she did that, it shows honesty and trustworthy, I think anyone else would have been happy to take my money. I of course went back a few months later after it started to wear out and I had the same experience, no bruising, very minor swelling that went away next day. Loooooooove this place!

Anusha has to be one of the kindest people in this field. She is meticulous and gives a lot of care to her work. I went to Anusha for TMJ treatments in my jaw. I have severe swelling and pain in my masseter muscle and she has been the most amazing person I have seen for it thus for. She is also insanely well priced and soo soo sweet! I have had bad treatments that had left me feeling ripped off, and even partly paralyzed.
Anusha is a mastermind and Teresa, her assistant, is equally kind. I hope everyone gives her a chance!

This was the first time I had ever undergone any anti aging treatment. I Recieved dermal fillers for the first time and I was extremely nervous. Anusha was so calming and explained every step and made sure that I was happy with my results .
I feel refreshed beautiful and confident .
Thank you Anusha !!

At first, I was a little nervous to do anything to my face. Anushia is great she makes you feel comfortable and listens intently to address your concerns. Not your typical Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon that pushes to up sell everything, and you leave from the office with exaggerated results.
Anushia is an artist she is careful to keep your results natural looking. Teresa is great about following up the next day. Definitely recommended!

Let me start by saying I’m 43, but easily pass for 30, even late 20’s on a good week– it’s all about the injectables! I’m not shy to say, I get products injected into my face to maintain my youthful looks! Everyone does it, it’s just how well they get it done. There is a secret in California, and I am nervous to tell, for fear that I will never get another appointment; but her name is Anousha, and she works at Skin Specific!
I’ve been getting botox done since I can remember, and started using filers the best part of 8 years ago. I’ve never looked back. I was one of those girls who always said I would never get it done, but I love the way it enhances my features and gives me a much softer edge. This is why I just can not live without Anousha! To put it mildy, she is the absolute best! It’s about maintaining, not about going over the top. I’m all about looking naturally good, (with help of course), and so is Anousha!
I moved here 3 years ago from Australia, and shopped around to all the so called ‘big’ name injectors in and around Hollywood! They were all overpriced, promised an amazing result, bragged about famous clientele, and yet you walked away with results that were sub par, and a bank balance that was zero. I love that Anousha studies my face as hard as what I do, she takes her time, and is careful at what she does. She cares! And thats the big difference. It’s a fine art to get under the eye area just right, without the ‘puffy’ look, and she has been the only person who gets the natural result for me. We’ll obsess together about the result I want, and she only will proceed if she thinks it will actually enhance my face, and not make me look worse. I just recently got my masseter muscle injected, and it sculpted my face so subtlety, that no one even noticed, but everyone was commenting how good I was looking! Brilliant! That’s the key! Subtlety! I just love the subtle changes she’s done to my face!
The thing with Anousha, is she has actually turned me away before, when there are times I have asked to get something done, that she feels is over the top or she feels it will not look right on me, or make the matter worse. This is why I trust her impeccable. I mean this is your face right!!! You can’t just go to anyone and get stuff injected. I have heard of too many scary stories, and you see them out there walking the streets. My lips, cheeks, masseter, are Anousha.
Anousha is very affordable prices, she always works in with what you can afford, and I never feel like I got ripped off or paid for something that I wasn’t 100 percent happy with.
When you realise how ‘natural’ she looks herself, for her age, you soon realise, Anousha is all class! She is not only the most talented injector in Los Angeles, she also is just the most sweetest and lovely, calming person you will ever meet. I have been seeing her for 2 years now, and would never go anywhere else!
Well there you go, I’ve just told you the best kept secret in Hollywood, All I’m going to say is, it’s your face!!! Go to someone you can trust, because the last thing you need is to look like the late poor ol’ ‘Joan River’s’,!!!

I made an appointment to see Anusha.
To my understanding she is a nurse not a doctor by the way, is totally fine with me because she seems to know what she is doing.
I was downstairs ringing two minutes before my appointment time when Theresa called my cell and told me Anusha was running late and she would not be able to see me in the next hour.
Really? I drove all the way to west LA in the middle of the day for nothing!
OK, things happen, I guess.
I could not wait an hour since I had another appointment to get to.
You might think Theresa would had called me in the next week to re-​schedule and offer me something for my trouble, a lolly pop would had been fine!
But not a word from them, nothing!
I had been there a few times and I remember waiting about 10 minutes every time, I was never seen on time but I guess 10 – 15 minute wait is still acceptable.
Then the next time I was there, I sat in their waiting room for 10 minutes, the woman who was already sitting there, she was also waiting for Anusha, had been there for the past 15 minutes, she said, and Anusha was late to take her in, so I went in and Theresa told me to wait in the waiting room that it would not be long, 10 minutes later she came out to take the woman who was there waiting before me.
Now 25 minutes late I had to leave since I had another appointment in the area and there was no sign I would be taken care of soon.
I told Theresa I would call to re-​schedule.
When I did call to re-​schedule she told me there were no appointments available the times I could come in, the whole week.
Hello? you were late both times I drove all the way there!
You think they could squeeze me in?
I am not expecting special treatment but
She acted like she was doing me a favor.
When I refreshed theresa’s memory she said everybody is late to their appointments and the only way I could be seen on time by Anusha without any wait is if I take the first appointment of the day in the morning or not make any other commitments after my appointment time with Anusha so I can stay and wait as long as it takes Anusha to get to me.
Wow! You must think you are the cat’s meow!
In the words of Seinfeld «What good is an appointment for if you can’t keep them»
Anybody can take the appointment but the holding of is the most important part.
If you know «everybody» is late, (I was never late neither the lady who was waiting before I got there) why not space out you appointments a little more?
Or perhaps you are double booking? Who knows!
Maybe you are either inept at booking appointments or have no concept of time.
Learn some customer service manners, please!
Or at least watch that Seinfeld episode (when he rents a car) where he teaches people to respect others time
Anusha is good at what she does and she is pleasant enough but they, Anusha and Theresa have to consider all her services are a luxury and there are thousands of places like hers to go to that do take care of their clients.
I do not mind the fact that Anusha is not a Doctor and that the location is weird, a semi empty office building, I even continued seeing her after Anusha told me she had a severe finger/​hand injury on the hand she uses to inject, I still trusted her
BUT
I don’t want to wait 30 minutes or an hour in the waiting room when I make an appointment well in advance and it only takes 5 minutes of Anusha’s time plus it is not cheap either.
I DO mind waiting, is not a dentist appointment or a Gynecologist, meaning something I really have to do.
This is something I am opting to do, a luxury.
Theresa was dismissive, condescending and borderline rude when I talked to her so I guess they must be rolling in the money now and they really don’t care.

Dr. Anusha and teresa were, again, AMAZING.
I went in today for my second session of lip injections. For some reason I wasn’t numbing well, Dr. Anusha probably injected me with her entire supply of dental-​block product and my mouth STILL wasn’t numb! Stupid mouth of mine! That issue combined with the fact that I hadn’t eaten anything all day, and probably that time of month coming around, etc etc… long story short, we had to stop because I was just not feeling well, regardless, Dr. Anusha and Teresa were so sweet and made me feel so comfortable and cared for.
I don’t know what was up with my body today, for some reason I was oddly nervous even though my first visit was so painless and easy. Dr. Anusha suggested we stop for today and finish up in another session. They gave me some snacks to get sugar in me, called my sister to pick me up, basically held my hand to relax me… they did everything possible to comfort me.
I’ll be back in a week or two to finish up the juvederm and this time I’ll remember to eat before I go and likely pop a xanax and some vicodin so I don’t freak out again! lol
Thank you so much Dr Anusha and Teresa! You two are angels! :)
PS. My lips look amazing by the way, even without the full second syringe! :)
