Reviews for Philadelphia, PA Doctor Chief Medical Director Facial Procedures
"Judy is the best!! I get regular facials with her and recently tried a laser treatment. Being Asian, I’ve always felt nervous with lasers as they can cause hyperpigmentation in pigmented skin. Judy is super thorough and knowledgeable. I had great results and trusted that she would adjust as needed. I will continue to try new treatments with her! She is also just a sweet person and fun/easy to talk to! 10/10 would recommend!"
"Can’t say enough good things about Body + Beauty Lab and esp Judy. Judy is a master at her craft and has gone above and beyond to transform my skin. She’s professional, knowledgeable and hilarious. She listens to my skin concerns and tailors a treatment plan to fit my needs. She takes the time to explain the procedures in detail and her gentle approach makes it relatively quick and pain-free. If you’re on the fence about leveling up your skincare—consider this your sign. Go see Judy. You won’t regret it."
"Judy is absolutely phenomenal and extremely knowledgeable about all the treatments! She definitely will tell you what will help and what you need and don’t need. She helped transform my skin and got me wedding ready to the point where I was very confident in my skin. She made every treatment very relaxing and talked me through it all step by step. Highly recommend going to her if you get the chance! :)"
"Excellent results and wonderful staff. Judy Kim is amazing!"
"Judy is fantastic! Highly recommend!"
"I had an amazing experience with the HydraFacial and dermaplaning at the Body+Beauty Lab with Judy. She is so thorough and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. My skin is GLOWING!"
"I am obsessed with Michelle Glynn at Body+Beauty Lab in Philly. She is my go-to licensed esthetician for results and a relaxing spa experience. I started treatments with her about two months before my sister's wedding to improve my complexion and my face was COMPLETELY clear for the big day thanks to her. I didn't know where to start and she really listened to my concerns and then made personalized recommendations for my skin. She made time to see me weekly because she knew I had a time crunch. Her attention to detail with extractions is unmatched. I never would have thought of getting chemical peels, but at her recommendation we've done two of them so far and they are life changing. I've had several HydraFacials with dermaplaning and now colleagues and friends are commenting on my glowing skin unprompted. It's scary to trust someone with your face, but I trust Michelle implicitly and give her the highest possible recommendation to others."
"I see both Judy Kim for skincare needs and Jacqueline for injectables. Judy is so great and treated me 3 times with Moxi laser for my light melasma and has also given me a hydrafacial after the pigmentation flakes off. Just is so attentive and treats every part of my face individually and even had me come back for touches up when we didn’t see a huge improvement in certain areas. Jacqueline is one of the best injectors I’ve EVER seen and I’ve been to 5 different med spas over the years. She treats me like an individual patient not based on my age. I appreciate her honesty and approach so much I value everything she says and she will never over treat you but I love how she gives you options on everything you could do as well and does it kindly!"
"Judy Kim at Body Beauty Lab is such a pleasure to work with. Before working with her, I was in search for someone to not only preform the service I felt I needed, but to also teach me the correct way to properly care for my skin. I have experienced none other than incredible success in all of the services she’s recommended for my skin type. Judy is extremely knowledgeable and cares beyond the services she provides. I highly recommend Judy for anyone looking for success in their skincare routines and experienced skincare treatments."
"I religiously see Judy every 6 weeks for a hydrafacial. Not only is she knowledgeable and skilled at her craft, she is also so sweet and funny! I’m so glad I found her and I always get compliments on my skin. I’m prone to milia and closed comedones and she always takes care of me."
"The best and only place to go! From facials to injectables, the staff is knowledgeable and professional and curates a plan specific to your needs! They are by far the best around the spa is super clean and inviting and the staff is incredible!"
"This review is for Lua, who gave me a wonderful derma planing facial today and some much-needed knowledge about Morpheus. I already loved this place because I get my injections from Jacqueline (who I've written a review about the past) but it's so nice to know I can get all my skin and beauty needs done at one place now! Looking forward to next month's facial and the Morpheus procedure. Thank you BBL!"
"Go to Body and Beauty Lab whether it be for a Moxi, or a hydra facial ask for Lua !!!! She is amazing, precise, thorough and makes you feel sooo relaxed-which as anyone has gotten any type of laser treatment knows is no small feet !"
"Loved my HydraFacial! My skin is glowing."
"Had such a great experience! My aesthetician was knowledgeable, the atmosphere was amazing, and the facial was incredible. Will definitely be back!"
"Im writing a review for body and beauty lab but more specifically for Lua Padova! I have been to likely 7 different dermatologists, have spent insane amounts of money on product both prescription and otherwise and nothing has fixed my skin. I’ve struggled with acne for my entire life and this is the first time that I’ve ever had consistently clear skin and that’s thanks to Lua!! Not only is she hilarious and a delight to see for my appointments but she really understood what my skin needed. The products she suggested have not only eliminated my acne but also evened my skin tone and helped with my fine lines! I had never really done much outside of traditional facials but she talked me into the Moxy laser facial and my gosh LIFE CHANGING! Acne scars eliminated! Trust this woman with your life… I mean skin! Hahaha Thanks Lua and body and beauty lab <3"
"The most amazing facial I’ve ever had from Michelle! Fantastic staff & such a relaxing establishment 10/10!!!"

"BBL is my go to for hydrafacials. It was recommended to me by a friend and since then I’ve referred my mom, husband, and several friends. Great medspa. Wide array of services. I have always been pleased with my services. I come here for hydrafacials only - no injectables - although I appreciate that the staff who perform injections like Botox are nurses so if I decide to get Botox, I am under competent care. Reception is nice. The space is small but luxurious clean and beautiful. Judy Kim is my favorite. She is kind, personable, knowledgeable, funny, and does a great job. I look forward to booking w her again soon!! I have deducted 1 star (debated deducting 2) because I’ve had a few less than perfect experiences and for the price point, I believe everything should be near-perfect here. One instance was when I booked hydrafacials over the phone for my mom and myself. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication and my mom was charged for a deluxe hydrafacial even tho I booked her for a traditional hydrafacial (I didn’t even know there was such a thing as deluxe). My mom didn’t want to contest the extra $ but I called after the fact when we were confused why hers was more $ than mine. They maintained that this is what I scheduled and what she got and did not offer to reverse the added charge. The second thing (which has happened on several occasions, several times per session) is that I’ve been aggressively upsold many times (not by Judy, to be clear). When Judy was away from the office on leave, I saw another esthetician who was equally skilled BUT aggressively recommended a much more expensive treatment that was outside of my current budget. I’m sure this treatment is incredible - in fact, I want it - but I am not comfortable spending several thousands on my face right now, maybe ever. In an effort to get me to purchase a much more expensive facial procedure and get better results, I was told that the hydrafacials I was getting were essentially pointless and not worth the $ I was spending. I was told over and over again how great this other procedure was even though I said multiple times that it was too much $ for me at this time. The procedure, while probably amazing and something I might get someday, is several thousands of dollars after completing the recommended series, and I thought I made it painfully clear that it was something I wasn’t ready to invest in right now. During at least 2 hydrafacials, I was told over and over again how much I needed this other procedure, making me feel frustrated and disappointed that the hundreds I was spending on hydrafacials were a waste and that I needed to spend thousands in order to “fix all of my problems.” It got to the point that it was kind of embarrassing and exhausting. There’s only so many times I can politely laugh before I just feel kind of bummed out. I was also greeted once (by same employee) and told my skin looked “so bad.” Believe me, I was aware. I was going through a lot of stress and my skin was far from it’s best. But that’s why I was there. So! That warranted my one star deduction. Can’t wait to see Judy again for another hydrafacial."
"Lua is an amazingly talented Esthetician!! Her skills are unsurpassed as well as her kindness. I'm voting her Best in Philly for facial & laser services."
"Body & beauty lab is the best! I love my hydra facials by Judy!!"
"Body+Beauty Lab is THE MOST elite medical spa with the most elite providers & staff. Licensed medical aesthetician, Lua, is as elite as they come! I have complex skin with difficult-to-treat issues such as rosacea, hormonal acne, and severe melasma and Lua has provided me with a level of service, patient education, expert recommendations, comfort, kindness, and AMAZING RESULTS that go above and beyond anything I ever expected every single time I see her. With her years of experience, intelligence, in-depth medical knowledge and true understanding of the science of skin, skin care, and skin treatments, she is a MASTER in her field who caters to her patients’ individual needs brilliantly. Despite her well-deserved prominence, she is warm, kind, humble, and down-to-earth. I always leave feeling better, inside and out! As a healthcare professional myself, I am very critical and choosy about recommending places/people and I give my HIGHEST recommendation. Thank you Lua and B+BL!"
"The entire staff has always been amazing. I have felt so welcome since the first time I stepped in the door. And the quality of the services I've received is top notch. Jennifer Perry is an artist, absolutely amazing medical injector. Amia Voorhees will transform your skin. Her hydrafacial was amazing and after her recommendation on their products, I finally saw a real difference in my skin."

"I recently experienced one of the best med spa procedures. This spa is by far the best med spa I have been to. The spa is immaculate, the treatment was by far the best I have been lucky enough to experience. Having spent the past 34 years as a practicing medical professional I am impressed with their professionalism and how efficiently this med spa is managed. The aestheticians and front office personnel are the best. Can't wait for my next procedure."
"The most professional medical spa experience I have ever had. 10 out of 10 recommend and wish I could go every day!"
