Your Best Skin

Sue is wonderful: D

Sue works magic with skin. I was referred to her through a friend, that Sue worked skin miracles on (bad adult acne transformed to clear skin). Every visit is great, she really makes a difference in how my skin looks.
Last week, I scheduled an emergency appointment to help with the worst breakout I have had in years. A week later, I am back to going outside without skin makeup on.
Sue really knows skin and how to effectively treat different people. All of the products that she refers are great. Thank you Sue for being amazing!

I had Sue’s treatment since 2007. it’s been 5 yrs since I came to Sue’s clinic. I’m finally going to write a review. I myself is into beauty and medical spa treatment. and I have been studying all these information and knowledge from clinic and books, etc. that ends up i’m very picky about it. All I care is result and professional. I had bad acne from stress and inner body. She took a look and observe my skin first and ask about my diet and basic life schedule before she did treatment.
Here’s my comment:
1)She is honest, telling you what will work, and explain the treatment to you. My acne was treated by several combined treatment such as clinic peel, extraction to improve skin texture by Sue; I also saw a doc to get Roccutane to control my inner oil. Sue gave her best advice and did what she could
2)the product she uses is GOOD, she keeps learning good product and testing it, she will not push to sell anything, you will learn how to pick product though.(I had bad experience b4 I came to Sue in a Famous salon at Fillmore street, it’s no result, costly, not professional, the esthetician didn’t even have good skin to convince me… forget it)
3) if you are not satisfy with your treatment, Sue will adjust the treatment again for you bcuz her treatment is about result, if it’s beyond her service, she will refer you a good doctor.
4) Sue has good skills operating extraction and peeling (careful and gentle and clean), trust me, not even a doctor can do a good job on it, it needs experience,
5) Sue is sincere to people, very nice and sweet lady to work with. right, maybe her clinic isn’t the fancy kind, but it’s clean, organized and professional

From 2007 to now, im really happy to see her keeps consistent good quality of service and I got inspired for healthier diet as well. bcuz i saw result on her obviously.

Sue is awesome. There’s no other way to put it. She’s super sweet, super nice, and her methods get results. I used to suffer from the painful, deep-​seated acne that would take WEEKS to clear out, but after a couple of visits to her, I don’t get those anymore. My skin is glowing and much clearer than it’s been for a while now. Worth every penny.
Oh, and she will always give cheaper alternatives to products she carries and even recommends drugstore brands over the more expensive ones when she feels they work just as well.
Highly, highly, highly recommend.

I heard about Sue 3 years ago through a colleague in her 40s who has glowing skin. After a painful cyst-​like pimple landed me in the Kaiser ER (I was in my mid-​30s & never had acne til a few years earlier) I decided I needed to finally get some professional help. Without a doubt, Sue’s care & advice has changed my life. I now get compliments on my skin & no one can believe that i struggled so much with acne just 3 years ago. The acne was cured within a few months, so now we just work on maintenance and hydration & brightness. Another thing I love about Sue is her honesty. She told me she did not need to see me as often as I wanted, and she also was very candid about about the influence of product & which name-​brand products are most effective and which can be replaced with cheaper drug store brands. Sue has integrity. I continue to see Sue on a monthly basis because a) she is so pleasant to be around, b) it’s relaxing like getting a massage, c) she always gives my skin a jump start. I love Sue, and now I actually really like my skin too! I highly highly recommend her.

I recently was looking to have some treatment for minor acne, and Sue Upton came highly recommended from her reviews! She is very easy to book an appointment with, and is very reasonably priced. She’ll even give a consultation during your first visit and show you which products are the best to use. She does everything she can to make you comfortable during your treatment, including setting up a pandora station with your favorite music, and making conversation during the treatment. After one visit, I noticed a drastic improvement in my skin. I will be eagerly visiting Sue for a follow up in the coming month!

Sue has been my skin care specialist for years and I will never go anywhere else. I look forward to my monthly maintenance. If you want a serious skin care that deliver results, go to Sue. My skin never look better.

Sue is rad! She’s totally no nonsense and my skin looks wonderful thanks to her.
Update 2011: I get compliments on my skin all the time — and people think I’m 10 years younger than I actually am! Sue does a thorough job of cleaning my pores (she’s got this awesome pore vacuum that sucks out all the bad stuff) and has always recommended products to keep my skin clear. She carries a fantastic line of products but will recommend drug-​store brand products if you’re on a budget.
Sue mixes professionalism with a warmness that’s rare in this world. You’ll have an awesome conversation and your skin will glow — make an appointment now!

I just had my second appointment and it was (again) absolutely *AMAZING*. My face felt (literally) like new skin after my appointment. It looked great and felt unbelievable! I’m hooked — Sue’s simply the best!

I first started seeing Sue in 2002 when I moved to San Francisco, after having visited several other estheticians first. She is a wonderful, down-​to-​earth person that truly cares about her clients and their skin. What differentiates Sue from all of the others is that she has a medical background and actually will create a program to fix whatever is wrong with your skin. For me, I’m a guy that has always had these huge pores on and around my nose. Now, as a 44 year old, I can honestly say I love my skin. Yep, pores can really shrink! Sue is so thorough that she’ll even take care of little pimples or blackheads that she finds in my ear! And probably the most important thing Sue has done for me is that she found a small lesion beneath my sideburn that turned out to be a small, basal cell carcinoma — something my dermatologist missed during my regular skin check. Thank you, Sue!

Being an esthetician myself my standards are very high. I’ve been seeing Sue for about 5 years now. I live in Oakland and have tried other estheticians out here because going into the city for just a facial is time consuming. I keep coming back to Sue because she is the only one I will trust with my skin. She knows what to do every time and unfortantley there are a lot of esthes out there that DO NOT know how to do extractions. Sue is the bomb! I’ve learned so much from her and value her treatment options. Love her!!!

I love SUE!!! She rocks! I have «adult acne» and I have been at my wits end trying to look normal! She will squeeze me in at the last moment for life’s little face emergencies and will tell you the truth about your skin… She has products, but doesn’t shove them down your throat. (Though I do love the stuff she has!)She’s gotten my skin used to the BEST peels which have helped me tremendously…
She also plays great music and remembers your likes/​dislikes in music and life! She’s so funny I look forward to seeing her on my once monthly treatments. I’ve also made my mom a convert to Your Best Skin — she’s hooked for life!

I often look wistfully at women with beautiful, creamy complexions… smooth, dreamy skin… flesh that is silken butter because my skin complexion is what you’d call ‘ruddy’. Somehow I was just blessed with that lovely reddish undertone that is oh-​so flattering. I’ve had SO many facials and SO many recommendations of what products I could use to lessen my natural rosy glow and nothing worked. Then came Sue who spoke to me straight. With her treatments and the use of the product line she carries my skin feels and looks the best it ever has. Alas, she tells me, the ruddy glow I have can probably only be blasted away with lasers. That is fine though! At least I know and I’m not wasting my money on potions that will not work. I love Sue. She will be completely honest with you, explain the treatments, and won’t ever try to sell you something you don’t need. You can not do better than Sue for the best skin that *you* can have.

Sue has turned me from a pock marked beast into a ravishing beauty. My skin has never looked as good as it has under the care of Ms. Upton. I say get in there and let Sue take control.

Sue says it best, herself — ‘My clinic isn’t about pampering; it’s about producing results, using a variety of effective, efficient treatments tailored specifically for your skin.’
Everyone’s skin is different and Sue finds the very best methods and products to address your own skin issues~. She doesn’t push you to buy products, but simply suggests what would work the best; I really appreciate that. (and she’s always right)
Her demeanor is so warm that I found myself instantly at ease with her. She is so knowledgable and at the very top of her game, I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Sue is so great that not only do I see her on a regular basis my brother sees her as well! I couldn’t be happier dealing with such a professional when it comes to skincare. I only trust her with my skin and would highly recommend her to any of my patients!

Sue’s great. She’s warm, friendly, and puts you at ease when doing your treatments. She really wants to make sure your skin looks great, so she’ll ask you questions and give you suggestions without pressure to buy from her. Book early– she is really popular!

UPDATE 2008: I need a thesaurus to use different words to describe the skill and excellent results one gets after knowing Sue. She is highly professional & experienced and super generous, funny and affordable. She is worth every penny and then some. I don’t need a rich husband (thank God as I don’t even have a poor one) to see her but wish I did have one so I could visit her weekly! She brightens my skin and my life! Thank you Sue!
I had such a wonderful experience during (and after) my appointment with Sue that I had to share about it. I felt immediately comfortable, listened to and guided. My skin looks markedly better from her treatments and the excellent advise about products. Sue has a generosity of spirit that reflects the fact that she loves what she does and she is highly skilled. I am looking forward to my next appointment and, in the meantime, I am well equipped to carry on a healthy daily routine to care for my skin. Thanks so much to Sue and my friend who recommended her.
After a number of visits with Sue my skin is looking better and better! I really am impressed. Not only are her treatments and products helping but she also advises me about over the counter, inexpensive products that are super effective! She is a major asset to my life!

Sue is the best! I was preparing for my 20^th class reunion and she made sure my skin looked fabulous. I was the youngest looking one there! Thanks to Sue who gets down to business and make sure your skin looks its best.

Sue is a true gem. She has taught me a lot about my skin and tolerates my constant barrage of questions and all of my little issues. She is smart, honest, thoughtful and genuine. She will make your skin glow.
