Reviews for Philadelphia, PA Doctor Chief Medical Director
"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."
"Lua is the best! I have always had an amazing experience - gentle, experienced, extremely knowledgeable and precise- the results say it all!!!!"
"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! :)"
"Alison is amazing. ❤️❤️ I came from Maryland to use her again. She’s not only extremely talented, but a love to work with. Highly recommend her❤️❤️"
"Excellent results and wonderful staff. Judy Kim is amazing!"
"Jacqueline is one of the most gentle knowledgeable and honest nurse injectors I have ever worked with. She never a leads me astray and works to give me the look I want in the most natural way possible. Cannot recommend her enough!!!"
"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!"
"I had a few rounds of micro needling and love the results. My go to esthetician is Judy because she knows how to treat a variety of skin types and those with hyperpigmentation! I loved my experience and will go back soon for more treatments!!"
"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 have had wonderful results after my Moxi treatments at Body & Beauty lab with my esthetician, Judy! If you are looking for something to turn back the clock and someone who knows what they’re doing—ask for Judy!"
"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."
"Lua is very experienced as well as knowledgable about the various skin care applications that are offered at B&BL..She will address your skin care needs, then recommend the best treatment for you. While having your treatment, she is "thoroughly present" explaining every step of the procedure and has you leaving with a precise post care plan. I just finished my 2nd round of Morpheus with a Moxi. I have one more to go! Change is HAPPENING!! I feel totally supported and confident in her care for my skin. Lua is a TRUE GEM!"
"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."
"Go see Mary! She was great very informative and helpful throughout the visit. Made me feel comfortable when I was a bit nervous. Would definitely recommend her and go back for Botox and filler!"
"Had such a great experience! My aesthetician was knowledgeable, the atmosphere was amazing, and the facial was incredible. Will definitely be back!"
"Phenomenal experience with Lua! Body beauty lab is super clean and gorgeous. The staff is so knowledgeable on skincare and what treatments are best for you skin type. At my consultation Lua had me do a Visia scan to analyze my skin type and age. Then she made sure to explain Al options for my skin type and we decided that the Moxi treatment would be best for me. She went over the whole process and the science behind the treatment before. During the treatment I was made comfortable and relaxed. My whole experience was absolutely amazing and the staff was great."
"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!!!"
"Jacqueline is the best provider! She is extremely thorough and always provides excellent results. Highly recommend going to her!"
"Lisa did an incredible job and I highly recommend her and the entire BB team. She took the time to inform me about the procedure I was having and checked in multiple times during it to make sure I was dong okay and comfortable. I’m excited to see the results and get more treatments from Lisa!"

"good skin"
"I’ve been to over a dozen med spas and injectors in the Philly area and after years of searching….THIS IS THE SPOT. I don’t say this often or lightly because I am a perfectionist and have a habit of not liking my final result…but Jacqueline is an amazing talented injector. She is clearly knowledgeable with the structure of the face and just GETS what looks good. She not only fixed what a previous injector failed to do correctly, but she also gave me the results I have been striving for for YEARS that I simply lost hope on. It’s so important to go to a qualified injector…I’m so relieved I found my place and person, can’t recommend enough."
"Mary Marso was great - she made me feel comfortable and was really educated on the areas she helped me with. I’m so happy with the results and am definitely going back to her!"
"Love the hydrafacial. It was so relaxing and helped get me into vacation mode. Really clean place in a great location."
"I highly recommend Anya at Body + Beauty Lab! She was incredibly thorough during my first visit, making me feel very comfortable, explaining all of my options and answering my questions. Look no further and if you’re on the fence, go!"
"Judy is amazing....she’s a true skincare professional. I cannot recommend her any more highly! The staff here is always helpful and pleasant. I have been getting facials for a long time and this place is very good....pricing is fair with many good deals"

"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."
"I’ve been going to Body+ Beauty Lab for 3 years now and can say that they are my favorite med-spa. Sarah Sidiqi in particular has made all my experiences there spectacular. She always takes the time to listen to my goals, and explain how she plans to go about treatment. Her ability to apply injections (whether botox, filler or prf) with an artistic eye, that takes the specific individual’s anatomy into consideration is truly unmatched! Sarah is so knowledgeable and welcoming, we have great conversations about different procedures and I always leave having learned something new! I can tell Sarah loves what she does and is always striving to provide the best possible results for her patients. You really will be in great hands working with her! I attached pictures of before having ever gone to Body+Beauty Lab, my last visit(morpheus 8) and a recent picture! Love my results :)"
"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."
"I have nothing but wonderful things to say about B&BL: friendly staff, clean and beautiful space, well trained, educated & experienced technicians. I see Jacqueline C. and I trust her completely. She is a beauty wizard and knew exactly what would be best for me. Super sweet too :) Thank you Jac!"
"Well trained and super knowledgeable technicians."
"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!"
"I booked a series of laser treatments in hopes of minimizing my rosacea and I can already tell that my redness has improved after my first visit. I am especially pleased with Robby Nelson, the medical provider who performed the treatment. His friendliness and level of expertise made the overall experience very pleasant/stress-free and I am very much looking forward to going back for my next session."
"Go into Body and Beauty lab and come out looking 20 years younger!. I was shocked when I was given a mirror to look at my self after the impeccable work of Jenn Perry. As she was doing her work, I kept hearing comments from Jenn and her assistant "beautiful" she said, her assistant echoed. I was anxious to see the results, then a look in the mirror, It was amazing!. Jenn Perry is a true artist. I am in my 60's, take good care of myself. But, Jenn Perry pulls it all together with her art. I have visited other aestheticians. Even the most expensive, tend to have a "go to" procedure. Jenn studies your skin, volume, thickness, and makes a recommendation that is unique to your needs. I trust her completely! Cautious, true to her medical training, ethical, she will do the right thing. I travel a long distance. There are many beauty spas, but I would not trust my face/looks to anyone but Jenn Perry."
"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!"
"Jen Perry is an Injectable Guru! - I’ve been seeing Jen Perry for close to a year now and will never look back to a plastic surgeon again. She combines cosmetic medical procedures with her artistic eye..always nailing my desired result! Jen will sir and talk with you to truly understand what you are looking to achieve and customize a treatment tailored to you. It’s hard to find people in this industry that “get it” and she truly does! I owe all my pretty selfies to her!! Xoxo"
