Testimonials

I have had the best consultations and treatments with Linda Behla. I was interested in improving my skin, but also a little hesitant because I didn’t know much about the different treatments available. Linda did an amazing job of putting me at ease, explaining what was available, and advising me. She was very good at suggesting what she thought I was ready for (never pushy). Her treatments were wonderful, and I’ve had consistent, noticeable results. Most importantly, Linda is personable and very easy to talk with. I have sent many of my friends to her and will continue to do so. Highly recommended!

As usual, my treatment with Victoria was lovely. The treatment was on time, the pain management was appropriate, and the education was helpful.

I’ve been getting laser treatments with Denise at HVME for over three months now (I am on my third appointment) and have had a wonderful experience. Denise is amazing. She makes me feel comfortable, she’s attentive, and she makes an otherwise pretty painful process pleasant!

I’ve been recommending this place for a while now for facials (with Jessica!), but I have since added laser with Denise to the list! The HVME team is prompt, efficient, and professional.

Pro tip: book far in advance as they’re in high demand due to their stellar customer service!

Linda has been doing my BOTOX® for years. She is amazing. I appreciate her ability to listen to feedback and make adjustments. My face has changed over the last 15 years. She treats every visit as if it is the first. She asks questions and modifies her approach based on my concerns. It also helps that she is an amazing human that I just simply enjoy.

YES! Hayes Valley Larkspur and Linda and Sheila! Chronologically, the services are great, from making the appointment online to having adequate reminders, very important as we get older! Next, you meet Sheila, who really runs a tight ship and keeps all your appointment information and award points straight, and is so much fun to talk to. Next, you see Linda, a genius with all fillers and BOTOX/Dysport. She has a great eye for aesthetics but equal technical skill and an in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and physiology. She is using Bellafill, a longer-lasting filler, and my results have been amazing. Rested, youthful, smoother face. I can’t recommend HVME more, and I will continue to go there for the skillful application of the newest and best products.

HVME is my go-to spot for all procedures, and this review is far overdue!

Firstly, the front desk staff are the best! They are always friendly and adept at their jobs, and the place is inviting and comfortable.

Let’s talk skincare…Jessica is my gal for all things in this department. I have been a client of Jessica’s for a few years now, she knows my skin and knows exactly what it needs.

I recently came in for a micro-needling session with her and couldn’t be happier with the results. She is professional but puts you at ease. She answered all my questions and gave me product suggestions. The single best thing is…the reduction of pore size after the first session! I am beyond happy and looking forward to my next visit.

Lastly, I must send a shout-out to Cherie. She worked her magic on my lips a little over five months ago, and I am still in love with the results! I’ve had bad reactions to lip filler treatments in the past, including intense bruising and pain…but not with Cherie’s gentle touch and expertise. She was extremely accommodating, and I’m not sure how she does it…but it was virtually painless! My lips look amazing, and it’s all thanks to her!

Overall, HVME is a 10/10 in my book!

I went to the Larkspur location yesterday for a facial with Nicole. This was the first time I had been to this clinic. The facility was beautiful and impeccably clean.

I was greeted by several friendly faces, and my appointment started on time. Nicole gave me the best facial expression I have ever had. The room was serene, the table was warm, and the products used were all high-end and left my skin glowing.

In the past, at other clinics, I have left facial appointments rather disappointed—feeling as though my skin was clean but not necessarily that my pores were clear or that my skin was tighter.

That was not the case here! When I left, my skin felt tighter and brighter, and I could not find one clogged pore. I will be recommending this clinic to my friends and hope to see Nicole for facials on a regular basis moving forward.

Thanks for the amazing treatment!

Linda is absolutely incredible and an absolute master of her craft! I was nervous about coming in, but she was great at making me feel comfortable and taken care of. The services I have received at HVME are far better than anywhere else I’ve gone in Marin. The location has easy parking, and all the staff are friendly and on top of things. Also, if you get nervous, they give you a vibrating stress ball for your tummy and talk to you to make you feel at ease. The service is top-notch, and I always look forward to going. I absolutely love HVME and will never go anywhere else! It’s also more affordable than LaserAway, and they do a better job. Highly, highly recommended!

This review is for Denise. OMG, this lady knows her S**T! I have a “gummy” smile on my right side that bothered the hell out of me, and she was perfectly able to correct it while still giving me natural overall plump lips, which was exactly what I was going for. For my BOTOX, she walked me through it, and I felt comfortable enough to proceed. Again, I was going for natural and subtle, and it’s not like I had a lot of deep forehead wrinkles. And she worked her magic! It’s been almost a month, and the results have been amazing!! I can’t stop looking at myself! I love how both my facial and fillers/BOTOX have allowed me to feel more confident in my natural skin. I wear less makeup! Seriously! I now just wear mascara and do my brows. I’ve been recommending them to everyone I know! I can’t say enough good things about this place!

I was at a party a few months ago and noticed how gorgeous one of my friends looked. I asked her if she had just returned from vacation or a spa. She was glowing, and her face looked relaxed and young. She told me her secret was Linda at HVME. I called Linda the next day.

During my initial visit, I had a consultation. Linda was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. I am very picky and slightly obsessive about my skin. I have sensitive skin, I am in my late 40s, and sometimes I have breakouts in addition to aging skin. I was looking for a natural-looking treatment to help with some deep wrinkles and sagging skin. I have used BOTOX and fillers in the past and mostly liked the results, but I have had treatments from other people that do not look natural enough to me.

After my consultation, I could tell Linda really knew her stuff, and I was optimistic about her plan. She suggested Sculptra® and BOTOX treatments to achieve the results I was looking for. I didn’t know much about Sculptra. She was incredibly patient with me while I pelted her with questions and concerns. She answered my question and helped me come up with a plan that worked around my busy schedule and budget.

Fast-forward a couple of months…I’ve had two Sculptra treatments, a little BOTOX, and some carefully selected products, and my skin looks better than it has in years. I don’t look” done” or puffy. I just look younger and prettier than before. I even have a tighter neck- and jawline. I have received so many compliments in the last few weeks. I am really seeing a difference.

Linda is a master at what she does. She is gentle and skilled at doing injections. Even the day after both of my Sculptra treatments, I had very little swelling. I highly recommend Linda and Sculptra for amazing results that look natural. Thanks, Linda!!

I live around the corner from HVME and initially found them out of sheer convenience, and I couldn’t be luckier that I did! I can’t say enough positive things about this place. The entire staff is lovely, super helpful, and makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk in the door.

I’ve been seeing Jessica Hong for facials for a couple of years and truly don’t know what I would do without her. HVME is always up to date with the latest in skin care treatments, and I love coming in and trying the newest thing that always makes my face glow.

They don’t nickel and dime you; they genuinely want to take care of you and your face, and I’d recommend Jessica and this place to anyone (and I frequently do!).

They also offer an entire suite of age-fighting treatments, and they make it all very approachable and look natural.

Don’t hesitate to visit this special place, I do frequently!

Linda is an artist when it comes to cosmetic products and always knows how much, how little, where, and where not to use it. She deserves my kudos and more!

I met Linda Behla, RN, who is an outstanding Aesthetic Nurse Specialist! She is informative, comprehensive, and passionate about her work; she truly cares about her clientele! She is a good listener and builds quick rapport with her clients. It’s nice to have someone you click with who has the skills, knowledge, and abilities to walk you through the spa experience. I really feel at ease with Linda and can share my thoughts and concerns. Upon Linda’s advice, I tried some new treatments. I am a good student of regular skincare, but I wanted to try something beyond “home care.” Wow! What a difference! Forget your next pair of shoes, and don’t forget to buy the skincare products! Take Linda’s advice and get the results you deserve! My friends and family saw an immediate change in my skin and I felt the money was well spent. I had no idea HOW much an improvement was possible. Looking back at old pictures…Yikes!

I wanted to give a big shout-out to Cherie, she totally changed my face for the better! She is a miracle worker with injectables. I have never been happier with my results than I have been once I started seeing her at HVME. I had a very thin, wrinkled upper lip that looks smooth and full now. I also didn’t have much definition in my cheekbones prior to working with her, and now they look fierce! I’ll be looking forward to seeing her again when I need a touch-up.

I received a gift certificate and was nervous about even going until they set me up with Linda Behla. I am a total facial virgin. I had never had a facial, much less ever wear makeup, and Linda walked me through all my options to get the results I wanted. Coming up on one of those big birthdays, I knew it was time to do a little something-something on my face, but I didn’t know where to begin. Linda took the time to sit with me and put my mind at ease while giving me some pretty terrific tips. Within a short period of time, we put a plan in place to make some changes I desperately needed. Did I mention their consultations are FREE? Having the chance to go in and really understand what I needed without the fee is one of the best parts. They have made me a true believer and a devoted customer.

I absolutely love this office and the staff! I moved from Philadelphia and was nervous to find a new provider. They are amazing!!! It’s always a very pleasant experience, and there are such lovely people working here! I always have fabulous results and get exactly what I need or want. I have been to several of the providers from HVME, and it doesn’t matter who I see. It is always perfection!

I’ve been going to Linda Behla for injectables and now a series of IPL treatments. I cannot say enough great things about her, from her confidence and expertise to her personable approach. She made me feel at ease and was always looking out for my comfort, balanced with her knowledge of how high the intensity needs to be in order to get results! I can tell she really cares that I am happy with my final results and that I am comforted. She is determined to get me younger, clear, spot-free skin! Thank you, Linda!

I usually wait to give my review until I have visited a place a few times to make sure it is consistent in regard to customer service. I was very pleased. I have been seeing Yvette for a little over a month now, and she is wonderful. I do not like needles at all!! She was very sensitive to that and a good listener. This was the first time I had ever visited a medical spa, so I was nervous and uncertain about whether I wanted to proceed. I did research a TON before deciding to come here. The front desk was also very welcoming and professional.

I ended up getting BOTOX and a little filler. I was concerned about looking a bit Joan Rivers-ish (although she was one of my fave comedians!). But Yvette made the whole process seamless. She explained everything from start to finish and answered all my questions. She’s very professional. I look more refreshed now but still natural. I’m looking forward to my microneedling appointment!

My favorite place! Between BOTOX, fillers, IPL, and lasers I feel like I’m here a lot! But I love it. Everyone here is friendly and professional! I am in the beauty industry, and I recommend that every one of my friends and clients come here. Not one person has been disappointed. Amazing staff and amazing results! Do not hesitate to book an appointment here!

I’m a first-time customer at HVME. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Erica and my esthetician, Jessica. The appearance and energy of this place were both relaxing and light.

Jessica’s touch and technique were gentle, thorough, and smooth in transition. If you want a superb experience, make an appointment with her. I will be returning soon!

I have to give a shout-out to Linda Behla. Her discerning eye and caring attitude were worth the hour-long drive for her injectables. I was thrilled, as I had seen other aesthetic nurses and MDs, and while they did fine work, Linda’s work was always spot-on perfect. Never too much or too little. She definitely has an eye for LIPS! The BEST! I LOVE her! She really takes care of me and takes her time; I have no doubt she does the same for all her clients.

Lauren is absolutely AMAZING!!! Not only does she always sprinkle the perfect amount of BOTOX to make my face look natural, but she is the best lip filler I’ve ever had. She is very gentle, has an excellent artistic eye, and it doesn’t hurt at all. The last place I went bruised me up, and it was terribly painful, I wasn’t even sure I’d do it again until I saw Lauren. I was able to go out immediately after my treatment, and you couldn’t tell I had anything done. I look amazing because of you, and my husband doesn’t even know I’ve had anything done, I just always look beautiful. Thanks, Lauren!!!

Love, love, love this amazing place! I have been so lucky to have seen Kate Ratto at HVME! I wanted to have some BOTOX and a little filler, but I still wanted a natural look. Kate was fantastic. She is professional and knowledgeable and really listens to your concerns. I always walk out feeling refreshed and looking vibrant. Recently, Kate did a series of lasers for me, and I couldn't believe how great my skin looked. I swear it erased years of sun damage and made my skin look years younger. If you are at all scared, Kate puts you at ease with her years of experience and sweet personality. The office is beautiful, and all who work there are lovely and supportive. If you’re looking to feel and look your very best, go see Kate Ratto. You’ll be so happy with the results.

Microdermabrasion with Elizabeth was awesome!

I haven’t had microdermabrasion in a couple of years and really wanted my skin to look great for an upcoming trip. Elizabeth did a Microderm, a light peel, and extractions around my nose. My skin feels and looks so much smoother, even my makeup looks better. Elizabeth has been in the aesthetics industry for years, so I felt really comfortable with her recommendations. I like that HMVE has Saturday appointments available as I work full-time and commute. I will absolutely be booking another treatment soon!

So excited about HVME coming to downtown Larkpsur. Linda is my go-to gal, and the rest of their staff and team don’t fall short either. The new space is inviting, has hip decor, and is easy to relax in. No matter what you are looking for—basic skin care treatments, BOTOX, or a little filler—they will guide you on what products best fit your needs and will never make you feel overdone. Another bonus is that they almost always have some kind of special going, so you can expect to get your best deal in Marin.

Everyone is so professional and educated in all the latest skincare at HVME, not to mention that the new location is stocked with all the latest in aesthetic technology, is spotless, beautiful, and has easy parking! Ali Quistgard continues to be the gold standard in facials; She can do everything from a good, old-fashioned deep cleansing facial to micro-penning, dermaplaning, peels, LED, and micro-current. It’s impossible to leave without much-improved skin. She has also had advanced training in CoolSculpting and is very skilled and nurturing. All of the nurses at HVME are very knowledgeable in all areas of medical aesthetic procedures and injections. I especially like that they take photos and keep careful records so that you can track your progress and identify your goals. The manager, Sheila, has a wealth of knowledge and is very patient when advising each client. It’s time for spring cleaning, and you might as well start with your skin!

A friend recommended Linda Behla, RN, and it was love at first visit. Too many years in the California sun have taken their toll on my skin. I wanted to achieve a more even and brighter skin tone. I also wanted an anti-aging skin regime that delivered noticeable results. Linda recommended IPL, and I’m simply blown away by the results. I can’t believe how clear my skin looks after just a few treatments. Linda also recommended a skincare routine that has been easy to maintain. Every morning, when I take care of my skin with the products Linda recommended, I feel like I’m getting a skin treatment. It was a bit of an investment initially, but I think it’s worth it to see your best self every time you look in the mirror. Linda is also committed to giving you the results you want. She listens, she’s skilled, and she wants the very best for her clients. She treated me with such care and was so knowledgeable that I felt completely confident about every procedure and product she recommended. Go see Linda and get ready for amazing results.
