Mena and all the Boost Your Beauty staff are absolutely wonderful! From front desk, to Kat that takes your photos and gets you ready, Gabby, to Mena, you feel like you are in a spa the moment you walk in. Mena walks you through her recommendations, discusses your goals, maps everything out so that you are included every step of the way. The results have been great, my skin is so smooth and glowing ever since my first visit. If you have any questions or want to tweak your treatment in any way, they’re very easy to reach and answer all of your questions thoroughly. If you’re looking for a place to look and feel your best, I highly recommend Mena and her team!

I had the most incredible experience at Boost Your Beauty Medi Spa for my Resurfx treatment! From the moment I walked in, the space felt clean, elevated, and welcoming. Mena Abitino, RPAC and her Boost babe team is knowledgeable, professional, and truly takes the time to explain everything so you feel completely comfortable. I cannot recommend BOOST enough! 💕
Highly recommend Boost Your Beauty! The place is beautiful and comfortable, everyone that works there is kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They always answer what I feel like are the silliest questions and make me feel more comfortable! Mena is amazing, she’s so sweet and I am always happy with the results, I have been going to her for a little over 2 years now! Anytime I have questions about what option would be best she takes the time to explain everything so I feel like I’m making the best decision for me!
Always happy with the treatments I have received by Mena and her staff. Boost Your Beauty staff takes the time to listen and cater to my needs for the results I was looking for. I would highly recommend to anyone inquiring about their services who want to feel boosted and looking beautiful!
I wanted to share how confident i feel with Meena and staff. I’m always so nervous and Meena always puts me at ease. She is very conservative with me and I love my results.

The first appointment opens with a consultation to map the areas you want softened or volumized.
