Encore Medspa

I’ve been going to Encore Medspa for over 8 years and have referred dozens of people who agree that this is the premier Medspa. Adrienne has always done a beautiful job with my Botox and fillers as well as laser treatment for skin rejuvenation. I’ve seen many women that look like their face is frozen or their lips look very ducky which to me looks fake. I can place my face in Adrienne’s hands and know I’m safe and will be happy with the results.
Great location; professional and friendly staff; state of the art equipment and procedures.

Encore med spa is wonderful for all my skincare needs. Adrienne is knowledgeable, patient and great to work with. Feels like a spa atmosphere and pricing is very fair. This is definitely a go to spot for skincare.

Why spend money on waxing? Laser hair removal is an investment in PERMANENT hair removal. It costs more up front but well worth it in the long run. Cindy is wonderful. She has a great personality too! I have had a series of treatments and now don’t have to pluck or endure the small pinch scares associated with that.
Adrianne is wonderful for injections and Darlene gives great facials. Best staff around and I have tried many other places.

In a nutshell, went in for laser hair removal, that usually lasts for 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes with other spas, this one lasted 5 minutes from start to finish. This is after I declined her hard sell of $ 1174 worth of additional services. She (Adrianne) was not happy and proceeded to complete the procedure. The original person, Cindy was out sick. When I felt her put cream on my face (with NO gloves), I was shocked. Not acceptable health code standard. I honestly think she has her staff put these reviews on Unilocal,because I can not believe anyone would patronize this business. Even when the credit card goes thru, it comes up with a company called «Housesitters», a care facility. There is something that is hokey with this place. I would avoid it all costs… Beware.

I have been going to Encore Medspa for a while now. My favorite estetician is Cindy Grounds, although I super love Adrianne as well. Cindy is very gentle, she has a funny sense of humor, and I feel relaxed and comfortable when I’m in her care.
Thank you Cindy!

Anyone seeking fillers should seriously consider using Encore Med Spa’s services. I had my lips done by Cindy. Upon arrival I had been given my paperwork and sat in their very CLEAN and cute reception area. I finished and Cindy came to bring me into the room, she was on time and welcoming, two things that right away made me feel comfortable. We had a consultation in which I showed her a picture of the look I was trying to achieve and we talked about my options for choice of filler. We decided TOGETHER (very important) that restylane silk would be a good choice. So she went to work applying the numbing cream and talked to me through the whole process explaining very thoroughly the method in which she would inject the filler and why she was doing it that way. She was awesome. I have already referred encore med spa to so many of my friends and people who have asked about my procedure! Don’t be scared ladies (and gentlemen)!!!

I’ve been coming here for a couple years now and have been meaning to write a review. The staff here are welcoming and accommodating, they will not try to sell you on any service you don’t want, and the services are all about making you as comfortable and happy as possible. I’ve only seen Adrienne for filler and dysport, but she is WONDERFUL. She has a great eye for aesthetics, she’s quick and skilled, and she’s so calming and professional. I just wish I didn’t live so far away.

Love everything about this place!
Adrianne is so talented! I trust her and the whole staff completely…
I always leave feeling like I took a island vacation… I’m so busy with my work … This is the most wonderful and safe treatment I have allowed myself in years. These folks are real and very professional … Look forward to each appointment…

I’ve been driving from Modesto to Walnut Creek for botox for several years. It’s a bit of a drive but well worth it — I’m so happy that they now have a Pleasanton location that is much closer :)

Just got Botox done for the very first time, I was scared at first. Adrianne made me feel really conferable and answered all my questions! I’m so glad I came in! Was the best gift I made to myself before turning 40!!!

I have been coming here for over a year and I absolutely adore Adrienne and all her coworkers. It is a beautiful environment and I have always felt completely comfortable. I would recommend the entire staff to any of my friends or family (and I have). Also, it is very affordable but doesn’t sacrifice any of the professionalism.

Came here for laser hair removal. No more shaving and oh so smooth!!! More expensive than a razor? Yes… But oh so worth it!
I am halfway through my course of treatments for legs/​bikini/​underarms and loving the results so far. Even better is that Cindy is nothing short of amazing. Not only is she super professional and does great work but her bedside manner is awesome! She gets you through those tough parts with humor all the while she is moving that laser along with the precision of a brain surgeon.
Today I am compelled to write this review: I came in to my appointment from a super stressful week and my body was feeling the effects (though I did not realize it at the time). Lasers it seems — like pranayama — can sometimes shoot past trauma up to the surface. If you know about this phenomena, then you understand how intense it can be. Yes, laser removal doesn’t necessarily feel like a spring breeze blowing across your skin, but it is normally totally tolerable. When the body is experiencing stress or hormonal fluctuations (aka: pms), the shock of the zaps over the arteries can be pretty intense. So in short, I instantaneously started tearing up once treatment started (sounds lame I know). Cindy was so gracious, did everything to calm my nerves and when she saw I was not able to take even the same joule level I took last time she insisted we stop and reschedule.
Totally did not make me feel bad about it at all. Above and beyond!

Such a great experience! I’ve gotten laser and facials done here and the staff really pays attention to your personal needs. Adrianne took the time to look at my problematic area where I needed laser done, and told me her recommendations in a very professional and sincere manner, which I appreciated. Cindy also did some treatments on me and was great, made me feel comfortable. Both are wonderful nurses!

I love it here! I’ve had the pleasure of getting laser hair removal by Cindy and she has been so great. I’ve been to 4 different laser places, and this one is the best by far (it’s a 45 min drive from me, but totally worth it!). I really feel like I can trust Cindy because not only is she extremely gentle and patient, but she also asks me questions about my medical history and keeps track of the medications I’m taking because they can sometimes affect skin sensitivity. They’re so professional, the place is so clean and and everyone is so kind. One time I mentioned I hadn’t eaten and they gave me grapes, nuts and a drink. Really feels like a spa! I will be getting more work done here for sure! Thanks guys!

Cindy is the best! I have been coming to her for laser treatments, and have felt like I have been cared for in the most wonderful way possible. Her expertise and precision was what I was looking for, and was not going to go to anyone other than a licensed professional.
Scheduling appointments is easy, and the front desk staff is very nice! I would recommend for any one to come here. I have not had any bad reactions to the laser, the facility is extremely clean, and the amount of sessions required is spot on.

Cindy is fantastic. She has a great manner. I feel comfortable and relaxed as she provides botox and filler.
I have never bruised as she is diligent about after care. Ice and Arnicare gel work perfect as recommended.
I look better in pictures and video which was my goal.

Cindy Grounds is such an angel! She listened to my needs and accommodated every one of them. She made me feel comfortable. This is honestly the only person I trust when it comes to cosmetic procedures. Cindy was recommended to me by a friend who swears by her too! Cindy showed me the right products for me and what she thought would work best with me. I will be coming back to see her. Trust me! You will not be disappointed! I am very picky and precise when it comes to anything with my face and she will enhance beauty and not over do it or make it look crazy! Love her!

I’ve been going to Encore Medspa for quite awhile and appreciate the state of the art of aesthetic enhancement tools and treatments for those of us young at heart but maturing in skin texture. The studio has a relaxed but professional atmosphere. Adrian Gonzalez, Medspa’s owner/​founder is a talented and highly experienced RN with 10+ years at the Walnut Creek location, recently opened another spa in San Ramon. Bravo Adrian!

I recently had a consultation for IPL at Encore Medspa and was very satisfied with the guidance I received. The consultant was upfront and told me I was not a candidate for the IPL treatment due to a preexisting medical condition. I imagine there are some businesses out there that would not care about the consequences of the treatment and only want my money, but not Encore. I was offered alternatives, in the form of topical treatments, and other products from the SkinCeuticals line. In the end I did not buy any product and I did not feel any pressure from the staff to do so.
The only negative note would be that some of the women (staff and clients) seem to have over done it with the work they have had which might scare off a virgin faced gal like me. But hey, it’s Walnut Creek!

As Amy B. has stated, Encore Medspa is the gold standard of medspas. I had laser hair removal done here, and LOVE the results. I worked primarily with Cindy, who is a Registered Nurse. She is knowledgeable, caring, and a pleasure to work with.
Encore Medspa easily gets 5 stars. I will be recommending this place to everyone!
