Services
Injectables
Our injectable treatments use FDA-approved formulas to reduce fine lines and wrinkles through targeted muscle relaxation. Administered by medical professionals, these quick procedures require no downtime while delivering natural-looking results that last 3-6 months. Ideal for addressing forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines, our injectables help maintain youthful facial expressions without frozen appearances.
Laser Treatments
Advanced laser technology addresses skin concerns like pigmentation, vascular issues, and textural irregularities. Our customized sessions stimulate collagen production for improved skin tone and elasticity. Treatments target sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and acne scars with precision that minimizes surrounding tissue impact. Multiple sessions yield progressive, long-lasting rejuvenation effects for facial and body areas.
Medical Peels
Professional-grade chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal brighter, smoother complexions. We offer varying peel depths from gentle maintenance to intensive resurfacing, addressing acne, hyperpigmentation, and early aging signs. Treatments include post-peel care guidance to optimize results while maintaining skin health through controlled exfoliation and renewal processes.
Facials
Customized facial treatments combine professional cleansing, exfoliation, and nourishing masks tailored to individual skin types. Our estheticians address specific concerns like dehydration, sensitivity, or oiliness through targeted product application and manual techniques. Regular facials maintain optimal skin health while providing relaxing, rejuvenating experiences in our spa environment.
CoolSculpting
This non-surgical fat reduction technology uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells in targeted areas. FDA-cleared applicators address love handles, belly bulges, and other localized fat deposits through natural cellular elimination processes. Treatments require no anesthesia with visible results appearing over 1-3 months, offering permanent fat reduction without invasive procedures.

Report
I have lived in SF for 31 years and during that time I have seen many businesses come and go and if there is one business that I would like to see stay it is SKIN Medical Spa. I have been a loyal customer since the opening day and can only say the most positive things about this business. First - the staff are incredibly professional and kind. You contact them with a question and immediately you get a response. Second - Dr. Rob. He goes above and beyond to make sure you feel like you are getting your needs met. He listens to me and then offers his professional opinion and you know what, he is always

If you are considering fillers/Botox you must go and see Dr Colvin and his team. I visited Dr Colvin today for fillers/botox and I'm in complete shock as to how he has smoothed my entire face and brightened up my eyes. It's so subtle but oh so so noticable I truly recommend following his advice and taking it. Thank you so much, you did a phenomenal job, a true legend!

I was a regular for facials, Botox and laser hair removal for many years with so great results that I didn't need to visit for almost two years. I finally met Dr. Colvin in my recent visit and he is awesome, he's not trying to sell any services instead he invited me to do more research and be secure if I want or not a procedure. He injected me in one trouble area and I can see my desired results. They do follow COVID-19 protocols which I totally agree and provide me with needed confidence to take my mask down. The staff is superb and the place invites you to relax in a spa ambience. Highly

Came in for a lip flip and had a great experience! No wait time, straightforward paperwork, and very friendly staff. Dr. Colvin really took his time in examining my face while listening to my concerns. He was very open to questions, incredibly professional, and was honest regarding the potential outcomes of the procedure. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes! I will definitely be returning.

I moved close to to this spa, so i decided to give it a try, instead of returning to SkinSpirt (where I've had great results several times). I visited about a month ago and the Botox has already worn off--when it usually lasts me 3 months! Not only that, but the price per unit is higher ($17 vs standard $15), and the doctor successfully upsold me, but didn't listen to what I actually wanted, injecting in many different areas as opposed to primarily between my eyebrows, where I asked. Now the "11s" between my brows are already back and I'm out $400. I do not recommend this
