Dr. Palm is very professional and I LOVE her. I was looking in to getting Botox for a few months. I did my research on the doctors in San Diego who were known for great cosmetic procedures. When I met Dr. Palm I felt right at ease. Once I made up my mind on having the Botox done I knew I was in good hands.
I had Botox before I left for my honeymoon and Dr. Palm did an amazing job! I am so happy with the results and will be returning again once I see the wrinkles return.
I wanted to make sure it still looked natural and not totally frozen. Dr. Palm knew exactly what I wanted and made it happen! I was nervous it would hurt or bruise and I had neither. It settled in within a few days and I am VERY happy with the results! I would recommend Dr. Palm to my friends and family without hesitation.
Thank you so much Dr. Palm and her amazing staff!!!!!

I saw Dr. Palm last week for a skin check up, a VERY important procedure for an active person in SoCal. I am on my bicycle a lot, and there is just no complete way to avoid the UV.
So what is Dr. Palm all about? Besides being a tall breath of fresh air from the midwest, she has a wonderful caring way of going about her medical biz. Dr. Palm is more than that, however. Because she advises people on how to change personal appearance features that have been holding them back for years, maybe decades, she is also an artist. She knows her craft, has had the latest training, and knows exactly how to reach the ultimate “you”. I love her staff, the entire office is a nice reflection of Dr. Palm’s professionalism. I recommend Dr. Palm.

Being in the beauty industry, it is essential to look my best. I have been researching about Ultherapy, this I heard is the new non-surgical face lift. Dr. Melanie Palm was recommended to me and I scheduled my consultation. From the moment I walked through the door, I knew I was in the right place. Art of Skin is no doctors office, The interior space is so modern and gorgeous. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. After meeting Dr. Palm, she thoroughly listened to my needs and told me I was the right candidate for Ultherapy. I scheduled my appointment, there was no pain and no down time. I am thrilled with the results and best of all, my clients are asking me “what did you do? Did you go away on vacation because you are looking so rested!” Lets just say I found MY doctor.

Dr. Palm is a sweet and caring doctor. I have been to several cosmetic dermatologists for Botox, IPL, Fillers….I finally found a doctor that I trust 100% with any procedure I want to have done on my face. Kind of a big decision to allow someone to alter your face – something you can’t hide. I tell all my friends to go see Dr. Palm – she isn’t the least expensive but I am not sure this is where you want to try and save money.

Going Under the Knife is Not an Option for Me…Sculptra’s Results Are More Natural Looking. I’ve had a few different treatments with Dr. Palm now & I must say I couldn’t be happier. She’s certainly not the cheapest Dr. around, but she is certainly the BEST in her field. I will take the BEST any day over whatever it costs to get the BEST results. After all, you are talking about your FACE.

Amazing Results! So Worth the Flight to See Dr. Palm!
Dr Palm was attentive, informative, clear to understand, down to earth and willing to answer all of my questions. During the procedure she was very professional & made me feel very confident that I was in good hands. I was a little nervous of course, but felt very confident in her ability. Her staff is amazing as well. I e-mailed extensively and all my questions were answered in a timely manner. I wish they would all move to Utah!!!

Sculptra with Dr Palm of Art of Skin
She is excellent. Her manner is wonderful. She is thorough and takes her time explaining your options, what she recommends and how and what you might expect. She is excellent in her skills and does a wonderful job of reassuring you as she goes about the procedure. I would definitely recommend her and her business.

Laser Resurfacing, Great Results
Dr Palm is knowledgeable about the latest in skin care options. She has a most gracious manner and a sincere interest in each of her patients. She is warm, friendly and takes the time to explain each possible treatment in complete detail which gave me complete confidence in her ability as a professional to give me what was best for my skin.

I have been treated by Dr. Melanie Palm (Art of Skin MD), several times, most recently for a ECO2 laser treatment. This is not a procedure to be taken lightly. It is expensive, you’ve got to be able to take off several days from work and the procedure can easily be botched. I know this first hand having had a laser treatment several years ago that left me with hyper-pigmetation that took me almost a year of peels to eliminate. Having had this treatment with Dr. Palm, I learned that laser recovery does not need to take long if you have good instructions and a knowledgeable doctor. Dr. Palm is not only the consummate, skilled professional but as well, a caring and concerned doctor. Dr. Palm and the Art of Skin MD staff (special thanks to Josephine), patiently answered my many questions. I even came back a second time before I went forward to ask additional questions I forgot during my first consultation! During the procedure, Dr. Palm was careful to explain each step and to ensure pain was minimal. Her pre and post procedure instructions were detailed and clear. Even then, I pestered Josephine with more questions by email wanting to make sure I was doing everything possible to have a speedy, complication free recovery. Not only did she respond, but she did so the SAME DAY. There is a reason why I keep returning to Dr. Palm. You get what you pay for and with Dr. Palm and her staff, every penny is worth it. If you are reading this review, make sure to also read the filtered reviews. You’ll see that the unfiltered one posted by Cheny on varicose veins is the odd, negative review. I am 10 days out, hardly ANY redness and that can easily be covered with my standard foundation. My skins looks . . . AWESOME. Diligently following the pre and post op instructions really pays off. THANK YOU Dr. Palm and the Art of Skin MD staff.

I have made it a point to refer all of my friends and family members here because I wouldn’t want them going anywhere else. Dr. Palm’s office is conveniently located and is very modern and clean. Her staff are always extremely helpful and friendly. I will definitely be a patient for life! Thank you Dr. Palm and Art of Skin!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Palm for a few years now, before she started her own practice and currently at Art of Skin. I have received 2 laser treatments for my face and have been completely satisfied. I get a lot of sun spots so I try to go at least once a year to remove the spots and it always works. I also have had Sculptra for my parentheses lines with good results . Dr. Palm takes the time to listen to your concerns and is very honest about your results. She also looks at your whole face instead of just your problem area to make sure the injections are evened out. The staff is very professional and friendly and knowledgeable too.

Beautiful Botox Treatment
Dr. Palm is an artist! She did a beautiful job on my botox. I’ve had a number of doctors in the area do my botox, and she is by far the best. Thank you so much Dr. Palm. I will never have anyone else do my botox again.

Just Had It Done, So No Comments on End Result, Just Comments on What to Expect.
Referred to me by a plastic surgeon and she is the best. Knows facial structure, trains others in injections, understands facial symmetry. Love the Doctor. She is a national trainer for Sculptra, so my fears were allayed by her experience.

Best Dermatologist Ever!!!
Dr. Palm is by far the best dermatologist that I have ever been to. I am so grateful that I found her! I was suffering since my late teens/ early twenties with hormonal acne. So many other doctors that I went to gave me the run around with procedures and medications that did not work. After my first visit with Dr. Palm, I noticed my skin clearing up from the regime she prescribed to me. I have been a patient now for 6+ months and my skin is the CLEAREST it’s been since I was a kid! She takes her time with you and the staff is very friendly. I don’t think I waited for more than 5 minutes for any of my appointments with her. Best dermatologist ever!!! 5 out of 5 stars

Expert at Creating Youthfulness with Fillers
Had a facelift but still felt that my face needed a little volume. Dr P is the expert at fillers and even though I am 50, I have people asking me if I am 35!!! Oh, and I hate the overfilled, overdone look-I am very candid about having had work done and people are shocked because it looks natural, not over the top fake.

Outstanding doc – very thorough and kind
Really kind.
Surprised how thorough her skin exam is! She even checked in my mouth. She was really knowledgeable and answered several questions I had. Seems like one stop shopping–I read her bio and she does tons of cosmetic stuff in addition to general derm. I was so impressed I decided to do Botox a couple of months later. She’s got a gentle hand.

I have seen Dr. Palm for a variety of things from Botox to dry skin patches and the service she provides is top notch. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and deeply interested in improving the look of my skin. During every visit she takes the time to explain what she is doing and what I should expect. She is also very careful to cause the minimal amount of discomfort possible.
She and her staff are kind and very professional. I look forward to every visit. I am always so pleased with my results that I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

I saw Dr. Palm regularly when she was in California. She is easy to talk to, non-intimidating, has a great bedside manner, understood my concerns accurately, is extremely intelligent and up-to-date on cosmetic treatments along with general dermatology, and a beautiful physician. She treated me both cosmetically and for acne and did an excellent job diagnosing both of my concerns. She prescribed something new for my acne, which is now completely clear and without any side effects. I also have had my BOTOX done by Dr. Palm and she did such an excellent job addressing my areas of concern and giving me a natural look without overdoing it or overcharging me. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially females, and I am disappointed that I can no longer see her because she moved practices.

Dr. Palm saw me for ezcema but then we ended up talking about botox. I came back to see her for botox treatments which initially freaked me out. Dr. Palm was calm, extremely professional, knowledgable and explained the benefits and the risks (or lack of risks). She administered botox into my face and I never even really felt it. It was really no big deal at all. I am definitely going back to her.
