- Alexandra C, 5 out of 5 stars: “These laser hair removal sessions have been amazing. They really are pain-free and I wish I learned about Pura Vida sooner. Everyone is so kind and professional. ”
- Amber Lafond, 5 out of 5 stars: “I have been coming to puravida for a few months and I absolutely love it! The staff is super professional and informed. They are able to answer any and every question I have from laser hair removal to facials. Dawn, Linda and Karen are super sweet and make you feel comfortable. My skin has cleared up so much from the routine Linda recommended. The space is always super clean and I always feel like I’m being pampered. 10/10 and I will continue to keep coming! 💜 ”
- C. Smith, 5 out of 5 stars: “I recently had the pleasure of visiting Pura Vida where I encountered a professional and warm staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with kind smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The professionals I worked with were incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in their field. They took the time to explain each procedure thoroughly and answer all of my questions, which put me at ease. Their expertise was evident in the way they handled each treatment and ensured my comfort throughout the process. Not only was the staff professional, but they were also exceptionally kind. They genuinely cared about my well-being and made sure I felt comfortable and relaxed during my visit, and as I navigated a personal issue which delayed my services. They went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was positive and enjoyable. The level of customer service provided by this medical spa was truly outstanding. The staff went out of their way to accommodate my needs and preferences, making me feel like a valued guest. Their attentiveness created a truly personalized experience that exceeded my expectations. Overall, my experience was exceptional. I would highly recommend Pita Vida to anyone looking for a top-notch experience with a friendly and knowledgeable team.”
- ELIAZAR MARQUEZ, 5 out of 5 stars: “I love Pura Vida and highly recommend them. The staff is exceptional and the office is clean and welcoming. Pura Vida is an excellent place that offers various services. I recently started neurotoxin injections and the life changing painless laser hair removal. I can already see results and am excited to continue each professional treatment. ”
- Ellie S, 5 out of 5 stars: “100 🌟s!! I went to Pura Vida after receiving a nitro treatment at a certified dermatology clinic in Howard County that left me with very noticeable scars. Dr. Apgar sat down with me and LISTENED to my concerns and didn’t rush to offer me a treatment and take my money. That’s what made trust them initially. After my initial consultation, I was assigned to Allison for my 3 micro-needling sessions. Allison is amazing to say the least. She made me feel safe and comfortable every single time. Both Allison and Dr. Apgar empathized with me and showed a lot of compassion for what I’d been through without making empty promises. Dr. Apgar took her time to educate me about my skin’s genetic predisposition, and Allison was extremely careful while doing the treatment always making sure I was doing ok. Considering that time is our most valuable asset, I can honestly say that Dr. Apgar and Allison truly over delivered and they exceeded all my expectations. It’s been a few months after my treatment and my scars are completely GONE, helping me gain my confidence back. I will be a client forever! The staff at this location is top notch! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I never felt judged and they always treated me like a high value customer. Thank you everyone!”
- Fang 2022, 5 out of 5 stars: “it's a great experience to have the consultation with nurse Dawn, she was very professional, took her straightforward advice, and the entire laser process was gentle and caring for my very first time. The staffs were helpful, well trained which you won't feel hesitant to ask any questions. Thanks the team and Amy for post follow up. ”
- Francesca Furnells, 5 out of 5 stars: “Had a great experience at Pura Vida. Allison was professional, thorough, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I got exactly what I was looking for, and I'll always go back to Allison! ”
- Jackie Meredith, 5 out of 5 stars: “Absolutely love my botox results with Casey at Pura Vida! Quick, painless, and my skin looks amazing. Have my next appointment coming up - she’s so much fun and does a great job! ”
- Jacqueline Connelly, 5 out of 5 stars: “Casey, one of the PAs, is amazing. Very friendly and welcoming and it’s clear she knows what she is doing and that she is very passionate about making people feel like their best self. I was pretty nervous at my first visit but everyone helped me get through it and I am thrilled with my results. The front staff is very friendly as well, and even the process of booking my appointment online was smooth because of the office manager Amy ”
- Kate Siplon, 5 out of 5 stars: “I have been a patient here for 2+ years and I cannot recommend the staff and level of care more highly. Pura Vida cares about helping heal the bad psychology we live with when scars or other cosmetic issues dominate our self-esteem. I have lived with facial acne scarring for over 25 years. I have tried every gimmick. I have been so disappointed over the years with things that did nothing. The treatment plan (laser treatments, RF micrneedling) has delivered so much value for my money (which I do not have a lot of!) - I am grateful beyond words for how awesome I now look at 48!!!! ”
- Katie J, 5 out of 5 stars: “I had a lovely experience at Pura Vida! The front desk greeted me and was so polite and friendly. Casey was my injector and she was beyond amazing!! She literally has the touch of an angel. I will absolutely book with her again and look forward to seeing her on a regular basis. Thanks again Casey! ”
- Kimberly Smith, 5 out of 5 stars: “Love Pura Vida! Helping me feel my best with self care supported with top of the line treatments, technologies and products! I couldn’t be more excited to be in my 60s, looking and feeling great and ready to take on the adventures in store for me! ”
