Elinea on 18th & Noe

I’ve just finished my second SkinPen microneedling session with Komal today. After our first session in late August, I saw such a difference in the texture and appearance of my acne scarring. Plus, almost all the discoloration from my scarring went away! The team takes before and after photos with VISIA between each treatment, and if you do a package like myself, they have each session’s photo saved to see your progress over time. Before coming to Elinea, I had done microneedling about 5 times before in NYC, but the results paled in comparison to just one session with Komal. Typically, I would notice slight changes in removing discoloration, but not really much in terms of texture improvement. This is likely because NYC doesn’t have the same protocols as CA for certain services to be administered by medical providers. A medical provider is able to go much deeper, which gives more effective results. Not only is Komal is so effective in addressing my concerns, she also takes an abundance of caution when treating me. For example, recommending SkinPen over Halo to avoid risk of hyperpigmentation for my skin (which I am wary of as a person of color) and also explaining why she avoids going too deep for my skin. Not only is she a fantastic provider, but she is so lovely as a person too! Honestly, everyone I’ve interacted with at Elinea, (Kriss, Ellen, Tess just to namedrop a few!) is a genuinely kind person. I know Dr. Rami built such a great community at this practice even if we haven’t had a treatment together. The atmosphere is so welcoming and every potential need is anticipated to make sure you’re comfortable. The space is beautiful and incredible immaculate, from the waiting area to the restroom. Since moving to SF, I’ve had trouble finding new places for aesthetic treatments, but I am so happy to have found Elinea and Komal. The team offers so many services, from chemical peels to laser to injectables, I’m sure there’s something for anyone. I am so excited to see my results this time around, and for my next session in December!

From the moment you walk into Elinea you can tell this is not your typical med spa. It genuinely feels like a five-star hotel spa. The plastered walls, exposed wood beams, and overall design feel incredibly high-end and intentional. Even the treatment rooms are spacious and calming, which immediately puts you at ease. **Dr. Rami** is exceptionally knowledgeable and what really sets him apart is that he is not trying to sell you anything. Instead, he takes the time to educate you so you can make a shared, informed decision about your skin and your goals. It feels thoughtful, personalized, and never rushed. I’ve done both microneedling and, more recently, HALO tribrid, and both experiences were amazing. The level of care is truly second to none. From clear prep instructions, to setting expectations for after the procedure, to a curated post-procedure skincare regimen, everything is seamless and thorough. The entire team is attentive, professional, and clearly invested in patient outcomes. I also highly recommend checking out their Instagram, where Dr. Rami consistently educates and empowers patients to make the best decisions for their skin. If you’re looking for expertise, transparency, and a luxury experience all in one place, this is it.

Friendly medi spa in Castro. I'm only here for the hydrafacial sections, but even the clinic doctor would be delightful and great to the clients. Very relaxing environment to start a facial. I have been lucky to have both aestheticians Sara and Angie take care of my face. Both of them are professional and communicative about what I need. Lite music and essential oil defuser are the plus. I feel very comfortable throughout my entire facial experience. I also tried the skincare products they carry during the holiday sale. Very good products. Thank you.

Absolutely Amazing Laser Treatment Experience! I couldn’t be happier with my results! From the moment I walked in, Dr. Rami and his staff made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. The clinic is modern, classy and welcoming. Dr. Rami and Jasmine were incredibly knowledgeable and explained every step of the laser treatment in detail, making sure I understood what to expect. The procedure itself was quick and almost painless, and I noticed visible improvements after just one session. My skin feels smoother, clearer, and more radiant than ever! I truly appreciate the professionalism, care, and attention to detail throughout the entire process and I will definitely come back again in the future for more treatments! If you’re looking for high-quality laser treatments with outstanding results, I highly recommend this place — you won’t be disappointed!

Komal will take care of you! As a WOC who needs a different level of care than my fairer skinned counterparts, I felt I was always in good hands. Durant my consult, I wanted filler and laser and she suggested I do a lip flip and skin pen instead. She wasn’t pushy at all, and I felt she had my best interest at heart. It really felt like I was talking to a home girl. She did my skinpen and I can’t wait to see the results and be back. Also, the space itself if BEAUTIFUL. The staff are so sweet and theres plenty of parking near by.
