Refine Anti-Aging Medicine and Aesthetics - Oakland, California

I’ve gone to Refine Anti Aging for almost 3 years now, and visit frequently for multiple services. During my most recent visit, I received a BBL Hero + Moxi treatment for my face and neck. The downtime was minimal and after a few days, the older skin started to slough off, leaving the treated areas feeling much softer and clearer of signs of aging (brown spots and redness).

Dr. V. is very professional and realistic. She doesn’t try to push too much and is skilled in providing a refreshed, not overdone look. She is always training and learning new techniques in the aesthetics industry. Her staff is very kind as well.

I highly recommend Refine for aesthetic procedures and only wish I started sooner. I was nervous and intimidated at first, but Dr V. is approachable and I feel I’m in good hands with her. I always love the results of my “self-care” days!

I came to Dr. Vasanwala exhausted, struggling with what I suspected were hormonal changes in my body, and concerned about the interaction between hormones and my cardiac health. Dr. Vasanwala started by patiently answering my questions, having me complete an assessment designed to understand my symptoms/concerns and then ordering the most thorough battery of tests I've done with any provider. Once the tests were back, she scheduled an hour to walk me through them and explain her recommendations (based on the tests) to address the issues that I had flagged. We worked together to align on a plan and the change I felt was immediate. Most importantly, I felt heard, believed, and like I had a partner in my care. I am so grateful to be working with Dr. Vasanwala and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Dr. V is truly amazing. My skin has been pretty good to me throughout my life (shoutout to genetics, water, and sunscreen since I was 14), but I’m always game to try new skincare treatments. They say "if it’s not broke, don’t fix it," but I don’t fully agree when it comes to my skin. I’m all about improving the longevity of its health and youthful glow.

First of all, her studio is beautifully designed. I haven’t been to the new one yet, but I’m excited to check it out in the future. Plus, the Cowboy Carter album was playing when I walked in, so I instantly felt at home—enough said.

I didn’t know exactly what I wanted "fixed," but I told Dr. V that my skin looked a bit tired and dull. She recommended Vivace RF microneedling and the Moxi laser. Listen, when your doctor looks as stunning as Dr. V, you trust their advice—and I’m so glad I did. I had 3 or 4 sessions between March and July 2024, and it's been a few months now, yet my skin is still glowing. The photos below are recent, and even after the stress of moving out of the country and adjusting to a true winter climate, you’d never know it. My skin still looks radiant.

All hail Dr. V.

Dr.V is fantastic! I’ve worked with her for 2 years as a newbie to botox and filler and I am so pleased with the results. It looks so natural and she is incredibly professional. I 100% trust Dr.V and her staff, 10/10 recommend !!

I recently had a Diamond Glow facial with Marian, and it was a fantastic experience. Despite having a solid skincare routine, I needed help with clogged pores and skin texture. Marian was incredibly personable and attentive to my skin concerns. She provided valuable tips and follow-up advice without being pushy, making the session both informative and educational. The facial was deeply relaxing, and my skin has felt refreshed for weeks.

Doctor very knowledgeable and helpful! I do look better after my first Botox and some fillers. Won’t make me 20 anymore (I am over 70), but sure looks great! Just takes a little longer than expected, but after a minor touch up it definitely looks good!
Would recommend seeing Doctor V., and will continue seeing her myself when it is time for a “touch up”!

I got a Diamond Glow facial with Marian, and my skin looked amazing after. Marian was super kind and made the experience so relaxing, and even followed up with a skincare routine and book recommendation. Highly recommend!

Dr V is amazing. Working with her over the past several years, she's never let me down with her recommendations in terms of the therapies most likely to have a strong impact on my skin. She's well-trained, trustworthy, and super ethical. Visiting her office is always a joy as I know I'll leave with results that exceed my expectations!
