I recently completed my laser hair removal service and am beyond thrilled about the results. For YEARS, I struggled with razor burn and red bumps on my bikini line and it was something that gave me insecurities and embarrassment when summer time would come. Not this summer! I am so excited to not worry about shaving or any imperfections. I also got my underarms done and that is just an added perk! Brittany was my esthetician and she was fantastic.
I was nervous the first few times but she was so easy going and completely reassured me that it would be quick & painless (which it was)! Overall great experience and would recommend to all!

Lexy recently did my lip filler and I couldn't be happier. This was my first time ever getting lip filler and it was a great experience! Lexy took the time to explain everything step by step and made me feel so comfortable. She is extremely personable, knowledgeable, and confident. I will definitely be booking with her again soon.

Location in Shadyside PA. Very welcoming and caring staff. The consult was superb. I appreciate the specialist honesty and expertise regarding my medical condition. Although I couldn't receive the services I was seeking, time was taken to provide alternative solutions. For this I'm extremely thankful and appreciative. Peace and blessings to The Skin Center

I saw Taylor for a LaseMD and Sydney for lip flip and fillers and this was by far the best medical spa experience! I live in CO but am in Pittsburgh a few months each year and I will never go anywhere else for these services. They are so personable, listen to your preferences/needs and tailor your experience to what your goals are. I was very hesitant about getting lip fillers and am so in love with them! The LaseMD treated my hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and improved overall skin tone and quality.

I have been a client of The Skin Center for 7+ years and cannot say enough good things about this practice. Professional, knowledgeable and patient first. My personal "glam squad", Brittany Oliver and Tiffaney Beddow are experts in facial rejuvenation and aesthetics. Their expertise and time spent listening to their patients fears and goals allows them to create an invaluable level of trust and ultimately individualized, beautiful results. 5 Star!

My first time ever going to skin center and it was the best experience I could've asked for! Katherine was so helpful, explained everything and didn't make me feel pressured to get anything after our consultation. I ended up getting Botox and Katherine detailed every step and calmed any nerves I had before coming in. Will definitely be going back. Thank you Katherine!

Rachelle is always honest in our chats before procedure. She confirms what I think I need and also denies what I don't need. As our bodies are tied with many insecurities and doubts about what is right or wrong about how we look, I appreciate someone who can see what I can't see. She has helped me age gracefully and I truly want to thank her for that. Also the team at shady side skin center is kind, prompt, and present.

This was my first time getting laser hair removal and it was much easier than I anticipated. Lexy was AMAZING, she thoroughly walked me through the process which calmed my nerves immediately. I was so worried it would be painful during and after but it wasn't at all! Lexy did such an amazing job, she did it at a pace that was comfortable for me while being so professional during the process. I can't wait to go back! 10/10

I cannot get over how kind and awesome Sydney is. I had one of the best experiences ever! Sydney was incredibly patient and helpful and explained EVERYTHING she was doing. The space itself is incredibly clean and sanitary. You truly do get what you pay for, and the Skin Center is worth every dollar! Also scheduling is SO EASY! Their team always work with my crazy work schedule. No hesitation. I will be back.

Just want to say that my experience with Lexy was wonderful. She was absolutely thorough with the treatments I was receiving and is genuinely so nice. She made me feel at ease as it was my first time for lip filler. I had a very small upper lip and lip wrinkles. She assured me the wrinkles would go away and my lips would be fuller. I was nervous and stressed that I didn't want "big" lips.
She assured me that it would look natural.well it does! I absolutely love them. My only regret is that I waited to get it done. I actually have lips now! They look and feel 100% natural. So thrilled with the results! I cannot fully explain how thoroughly impressed I am after my first-time visit with Lexy. She is incredibly knowledgeable of Botox and all other filler options. Heather

I had my first visit to the Shadyside location a few weeks ago and could not have had a better experience! Everyone I met was so nice and accommodating and I could not recommend Rachel Gill more highly! She made me feel totally comfortable with the procedure and was very knowledgeable about the treatments I received! I love my results and I will definitely be returning!

I have been going to The Skin Center for a few years now. I always went to different providers each time. I can't say how happy I am that I found Rachel! She is now my GO TO GIRL. I refuse to let anyone else touch my face. I would trust her with my own life to be honest. Rachel was very informative before every treatment and answered all of my questions and concerns.
She is very confident and I love that! They really should show more of her work, it's crazy that they don't! I usually make a countdown on my phone until my next appointment! If you want to look flawless I definitely recommend Rachel!

I had never been to the Skin Center before but I am so glad I found it! I had been spending tons of money on products and services that did NOT work prior to visiting the Skin Center. I had horrible melasma all over my cheeks etc from too much sun. I had originally scheduled a consultation with Grace at Shadyside in hopes they could "laser off my skin" - I felt I needed something drastic!
She took a look and said I didn't need the laser treatment because they have highly effective products that could handle the job! I was so impressed that she offered her knowledge without trying to upsell or scam me. I've been going back to her for the Diamond Glow facial which is absolutely FABULOUS! It's very gentle and relaxing but leaves your skin like a baby's.
My melasma is completely gone and my skin looks like it did 20 years ago. I had also been wanting to try out some lip filler - it's all natural hyaluronic acid which is the same substance in your body. Caitlin at the Mount Lebanon office did a fantastic job. She took her time, listened to what I wanted, and I am extremely happy with the natural looking results.
In summary, I'd say the Skin Center is the area's most knowledgeable and trusted source for all your skin care needs. I have found my home and will definitely be returning there again and again. They have great deals throughout the year too so keep a lookout for those!

I visited the skin center in Shadyside a few weeks ago for a Micro Needling treatment. It was my first time receiving the treatment, and i was nervous that it would hurt. The RN who did my treatment, Rachel Gill, went above and beyond to be sure I was comfortable during the procedure. She was very knowledgable, explaining each step, and took her time to be thorough.
She chatted with me, made me feel at home, and maintained a professional atmosphere by wearing her mask. Even with the current tepid atmosphere of covid, I felt safe and secure in my treatment room. The treatment itself did not hurt, was almost relaxing at times, and at worst tickled in sensitive areas. After the treatment, Rachel answered all of my questions about post-procedural care, and assured me that the redness I was seeing was completely normal, and wouldn't last long.
She was right! My face felt so smooth after, and with the calming gel she provided, I was able to contain any pain easily. I will surely be going back for another treatment soon.

I recently visited The Shadyside Skin center for a diamondglow procedure. Since covid its hard to provide a spa like customer service with all the steps and protocols but The Skin center flawlessly executed this. I got to the door where I was greeted and temperature checked/hand sanitized by a masked goddess followed by some normal paper work. While I was filling out my paperwork and waiting, the reception staff and I chatted(social distanced) about different things and also gave me suggestions about how to prevent mini break outs due to the mask.
Extremely helpful! I was provided some material to review while I waited about my procedure. A few moments passed and Brittany (another masked goddess) who was going to be doing my procedure came out to get me. We talked about my skin needs and what I was expecting from todays endeavor. She walked me through everything that was going to be done and we shared some laughs as well as some great skincare product recommendations -- I felt like I was talking to a friend.
I truly felt safe, welcomed and cared for from start to finish -- this could only have been achieved by The Skin Center and their great staff I woke up today and my skin looks and feels flawless! Thank you Skin center and thank you Brittany! Don't forget to wear sunscreen folks

Medical Spas are great but they can be intimidating, especially if you're new to the location and the area. Fortunately, I was familiar to this group before going because one of my friends comes here! I could not be more impressed with how I was treated and how my results have come out. I was a first time Botox client and they made sure I was comfortable with everything being discussed. I cannot wait to continue coming to SkincenterMD in Shadyside!

I have been a client at the Skin Center Shadyside location for a little over 3 years now and I have been absolutely impressed with the level of professionalism, cleanliness, and compassion I have witnessed from the staff there! Beth has always given me a warm welcome at reception, and Ryan Lewis is a Medical Aesthetician cut above the rest! She is personable, down to earth yet professional, and she is very considerate of her client's comfort.
The scheduling staff are wonderful they get you in ASAP and the pricing is fair. The facility is chic and classy paired with comfort. I have darker skin so I was afraid to get laser treatment, but I have to tell you the results have given me new found freedom. For my aesthetic needs I won't go anywhere else. I love it there! Bravo to The Skin Center, the Shadyside location is the bees' knees!

I have been going to the skin center for about 3 years and I have had an excellent experience every time. For the past year or so I have exclusively been seeing Taylor Wright and she has been keeping me looking incredible. I haven't had a single issue with any of my treatments and she has been GREAT at listening to my goals and advising me on how to achieve them.
We have made changes to my face that balance out my features while being so subtle and perfect that pretty much no one notices! It's one of the best things I've ever done for myself and I can't recommend Taylor enough!

LOVE my girls at the skin center! Tiffaney is my go to girl for all my injections. She literally is the lip guru! Not only is she personable, she is very thorough and precise. Shout out to the front desk staff, they're so welcoming and organized. Beth always goes the extra mile to make me feel super comfortable. :

I just had filler in my cheeks and lip plumping with Taylor. She is my go-to girl! I love how she explains everything and suggest what I should do with all my skin care needs when I ask. Always professionally happy and knowledgeable. The front desk ladies are awesome too! Happy, welcoming, and knowledgeable with all the skin creams, and treatments. The Shadyside Office is great! Thank you Skin Center :))

I wouldn't go here for laser hair removal. I went here for laser hair removal on my underarms and I was told I was the "perfect candidate." I have a really fair skin tone with dark hair. I never tan and didn't wax the hair, as I was told not to for both. I did 8 treatments, even though they said that some people stop after 4. I ended up spending a lot of money for something that didn't even work.
I thought laser hair removal would help me save money in the long run, which is a huge joke because here I am like 1-2 years later in the exact same position that I was in before I even started. Another excuse would be that I have changing hormones, but no. No change in birth control, pregnancy, other medications, stress, etc. Everything in my life has pretty much stayed the same.
My question is, if I am the ideal candidate, what is happening to other people? I know other places that do laser hair removal have some kind of guarantee or promise, and if hair comes back, additional treatments are free. But the skin center has no guarantees or anything. Go somewhere else that takes more responsibility for their patients.

I recently visited the Shadyside location for brow Microblading by Liv. The facility is very friendly, clean and professional. Liv made me feel comfortable immediately during my consultation and worked with me to create brows that are "me", not giving me the same cookie-cutter brow as some artists do. And believe me, I did my research on IG and asking area professionals.
I was given an aftercare package and thorough explanation of aftercare. I love my brows! I have already booked a few more services with Liv and I look forward to returning there. Yes, the prices can be higher than other spas/medi-spas, but in this instance, you get what you pay for!

I highly recommend Brittany Oliver! She is amazing at what she does! I've had several facial Treatments by Britt, including the amazing aquagold facial & will continue getting more! She is extremely knowledgeable & intuitive in her field. Thank God for her, my skin is looking great! Everybody I send to her is ecstatic with their services! You will not be disappointed!

The Skin Center is a game changer. I had two coolsculpting sessions before my wedding and I honestly couldn't be happier. Brittany and the rest of the staff are so attentive, knowledgeable and make you feel so comfortable. My results are everything I dreamed! No more problem tummy area all thanks to the ladies at The Skin Center!

I went to the Skin Center for laser hair removal. I can't attest to the results because about halfway through my cycle of treatments, they raised prices by 65% (more than $100 per session) with NO notice; I was in the exam room receiving treatment when I was informed. As other reviewers have mentioned, they are overpriced, but I thought that they would be worth the upcharge. Unfortunately the lack of courtesy for customers was unacceptable and they are even MORE overpriced now.

Love the staff, location and appointment scheduling is a breeze. So why 2 stars? Because I've never paid this much for Botox and had it wear off in a matter of weeks. Even the touch up did nothing. 13.90 per unit 10.00 per unit during the touch up I ended up with a 300 dollar bill and nothing to show for it. While I acknowledge and agree that not all procedures "take" and we sign documentation stating that fact, I've never had this issue at any other med spa.

I've been going to the skin center for the past four years now and I've never had a bad experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating, all your questions are answered in a realistic way you understand, and I've never walked out unhappy. Most recently I decided it was time for another round of botox and was interested in trying some filler.
I booked a botox appointment and a consult with rachelle (*possibly misspelled) and an appointment the following week if the consult went well so I wouldn't have to wait if I decided the filler was a go. Botox went smooth as always and after discussing my options with rachelle we decided filler was a great option to correct my loss of volume in my cheeks and my under eye bags.
Today was my appointment and I couldn't be happier. The staff was friendly and welcoming as always and the result is amazing. I can't recommend the place enough. And for anyone complaining about prices, they generally run some decent first timer specials, and this isn't a t-shirt you're buying here. Is your face/body really where you want to be cutting corners? Cheap things are good and good things aren't cheap.

I went in as a first-timer and met with Tiffaney B. as my free consultation. I have had an under-eye line on only one side of my face that was bothering me to look at, and I wanted to see what could be done about it. She articulated a few different options and was completely realistic about it the whole time. I was very impressed with her knowledge and recommendations.
I followed her suggestion and got 10 units of Botox, in total during the same visit. It was almost painless, I was shocked at how it didn't hurt with such a fine needle. She gave me aftercare instructions that I made sure to follow, and smiled widely all the way home. I love my results. Highly recommended! PARKING is annoying, but you gotta part on the street.
I chose to drive past the center and park on one of the residential side streets behind the Skin Center. There's a two-hour limit on those roads, so as long as you're just gonna be there for that amount of time, you should be fine without a permit.

So I've been going to the Skin Center for about 1.5 years now and would highly recommend them specifically, Jill. I've had my lips done and most recently Botox (obsessed to say the least) and every time I am thought of and treated amazing. The Botox didn't hurt one bit and was the easiest/fastest thing of my life. I even asked "that's it?" Trust me. You want to get on this Botox train ASAP! Your forehead will thank you in 10 years :)
