Pacific Coast Aesthetics
The Sciton laser. Plus the yoga mat. Aptos's only holistic aesthetics home.
What I’ve seen about Pacific Coast Aesthetics.
Santa Cruz County's only practice pairing the area's only Sciton laser with yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition counseling.
Pacific Coast Aesthetics cleared every public-record check I run. Their signature work — Sciton BBL/Halo/SkinTyte, DIVA vaginal rejuvenation, Botox/Jeuveau/Dysport, fillers, truSculpt iD & flex, Kybella, integrated yoga/mindfulness/nutrition — is what most of their reviews are about. Receipts below come from this week’s re-screen. The next bar is GlowRanked Verified — and that one only the owner can volunteer for.

“I had the Halo Tribrid laser yesterday. The appointment and procedure was extremely comfortable and I am so pleased with the results. As soon as you walk in January, the receptionist makes you feel welcomed and takes care of you right away. Gloria prepares you for the procedure, making you feel very relaxed and explaining everything. I had Jeannette for m…”

“I am so pleased with the treatment I get when I come in for a service. I am on a budget and the team is always understanding that I don't have a ton of money to spend. They still treat me with kindness and respect. The neuromodulator treatments always turn out excellent. I've been a client for 8 years.”

Next 30-day re-screen · July 4, 2026 · Badge revokes automatically if anything slips.
Screened means the public record holds up: their identity matches, their site is real, their copy doesn’t lie. It’s the floor — the bare minimum I’d send a friend toward.
GlowRanked Verified is the next bar — and a harder one. It checks what the public record can’t see: who the medical director is, whether malpractice insurance is current, who’s actually holding the syringe, and whether the spa has written protocols for emergencies. Pacific Coast Aesthetics hasn’t earned it yet — Aura would love to help them get there.
So — Screened is real, and revokable. Take it as a starting point, not a finish line. Ask the questions below before you book.

Compiled from public records, the spa’s website, and reviews Aura read so you don’t have to. The owner hasn’t added or edited anything here — yet.
What to ask before you book.
- 01
Who’s the medical director?
California requires every med spa to have a licensed MD or DO supervising. If the front desk can’t name them, that’s your answer.
- 02
Who is actually injecting me?
RN, NP, PA, or MD — get the credentials in writing. Estheticians cannot legally inject. Ask before you sit in the chair.
- 03
What product brand and concentration?
Real Botox / Dysport / Juvederm with a lot number. If it’s vague ("a similar neurotoxin"), walk out.
I check the first two on every spa I screen. The third is on you, babe — but if you ask and they fumble it, that’s your sign.
