Aesthetically Pleasing Medical Spa, Encinitas

The difference between a thermage treatment and a chemical peel at Aesthetically Pleasing Medical Spa is substantial—one uses radio frequencies and the other uses Obagi and SkinCeuticals products—but both are noninvasive. The staff of certified aesthetic nurses prefers these sorts of treatments to plastic surgery for almost any cosmetic need, whether it’s removing wrinkles, hair, facial lines, spider veins, or too much sunscreen. Monitoring the treatments is medical director Dr. Diana Hoppe, a board-certified OB/GYN physician dedicated to women’s health. Dr. Hoppe’s guidance and the staff’s care helped give the spa enough votes to be named Best Medical Spa by The San Diego A-List in 2012.
