Along with Lana, Sal and Manal have been nothing but helpful! Both Sal and Manal have worked on me from Botox to filler and each took their time explaining all my options and making sure I felt confident and comfortable with any decision. I am beyond happy with my results and would refer this team to anyone. If you are hesitant at all I would give Lana a call and I promise you, she will ensure all your needs are met."

I went to support my friend, due to a medical situation, I’m struggling with breathing through my nose and after listening to Sal, who’s kind, patient, sincere and all around awesome dr, I decided to give it a try!! OMG, while i’ll only do temporarily, it’s helped immensely!!Lana, up front , SWEET as can be! Love you all! Thank you for the kindness you’ve shown me!"

"Loved my experience here. I had botox done, a lot of knowledge and comfort was provided to me. I definitely will be coming back for future treatments."
"I highly recommend Panacea Aesthetics & Wellness Center for all of your beauty needs. Faisal (Sal) is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He explains everything prior to doing any treatment. He is very patient and works very hard to make you comfortable. I am most impressed with Faisal because he doesn’t try to sell you services that you don’t need. He puts the patient first and truly listens to your needs. Along with Faisal the staff at panacea are very professional and cheerful. From the minute you walk in the door they make you feel special. I live in Oceanside and will continue to drive to Newport Beach for by Botox injections."
"From the moment you walk in, they make you feel so special...even an old lady like me! They are wonderful at what they do. I have full confidence in them. I was definitely a challenge with my age & thin . I am so happy with my results. Earlier in the month, I got great results with a small amount of botox. I love the results!!!I would definitely recommend them!"
"I love this place. So glad that I found them, the staff are so helpful and thoroughly explain what your results will be. They don’t try to push you into more expensive or unnecessary treatments. They truly want you to feel good about what you decide to do., UNLIKE the pretty little beauty spa on PCH by my home in CDM that had me looking like a cross between the Joker and the Cat Lady of NYC that had suffered a stroke! I will not be shopping around ever again for Botox,! These guys are truly the absolute best, no bruising, no drooling out the side of your mouth and you walk out of their place feeling and looking great!"
"Had a good experience with getting Botox. Two and a half weeks later - great results."
"Manal and Sal are 2 of the most genuine professionals I’ve encountered so far. Their work is truly impeccable. I leave their clinic feeling fantastic every time. I highly recommend their services as they dont force sell you anything you truly do not need. A big plus is the aesthetics of their space!, so beautiful, bright, and happy."
"It was my first time getting Botox and it was the EASIEST experience! I felt so comfortable after being explained the pros and cons. My appointment was so quick I absolutely recommend!!!"
"Highly recommended friendly and professional doctor. He explains everything and answers honestly all the concerns. You feel comfortable dealing with a trustworthy doctor who is expert in his field. Thanks Dr.Faisal."
"Well, let me say this: I've lived in CDM and I've been visiting this place for couple of years and was incredibly happy with service, attraction, and the most important thing- with results!!! Then I moved to San Diego area and I couldn't find any place that would worth even 1/10 of this. I've tried my best, I swear!! So, I made a decision- I don't mind to drive about 2 hours one way to my one and only favorite Panacea Aesthetics, just to meet super friendly, professional and awesome Manal and Faisal. I always feel just like we are friends forever and they give me the best service and the best treat! You get honest recommendation always, they not trying to make you buy something you don't need to! I've bring my brother here already and he's happy with result as well. The best place!!!! Million hugs to Manal Faisal and to girls from reception. It’s the WOW, WOW, WOW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ place!!! Love this place forever!"

"I’ve had a very good experience at Panacea every time have had Botox. They use the real thing within diluting it and are very knowledgeable of the areas that they need to inject and improve my look. Sal was the person that my Botox. "
"where do I start?! The front desk is amazing they’re super patient & helpful -I feel like when I have questions or concerns or what options they’re always there to assist always professional, always a reminder call always a check in after service - The front desk is outstanding. The location is beautiful, easy parking and when you enter the building and walk into their studio it’s just gorgeous it’s clean , fresh and light. I’ve had my lips done twice here and it is by far the best job I’ve ever had! I’ve done my lips multiple times in my life but I won’t go anywhere else again. Today when I spoke with Sal he was saying he thought the hollowness under my eyes Was aging me and suggested just a little filler. I have to say it’s remarkable what a difference it made. **But this is key -he took the time to explain it , he heard my concerns about being over done and proceeded with it in mind. My lips are FABULOUS And I really think I’m going to enjoy the look of my cheeks and under my eyes- Even at a angle I notice it’s a more youthful look. I did a touch of Botox for the 11s. Another key point ; he stated using it in the center would help but using it on the outside would not do much so why overuse the product or waste money . It’s a business that integrity and skill are imperative. They have it! I thank everybody at panacea for the professionalism and the artistic way they work on each individual. You are awesome thank you"
"I just got Botox for my first time ever yesterday with Sal! I was pretty scared and felt really nervous, but he did a great job at reassuring me that it wouldn’t hurt. He did a great job at informing me about Botox, what it is, and discussing where it would go. I felt very comfortable and I am looking forward to seeing the results soon! All the office staff as well was very kind and made me feel so welcomed!"
"Hi Everyone, I want to share my great experience coming to Sal&Manal’s esthetic practice. I was apprehensive to have Botox back then, but then when Manal&Sal explained to me what is it’s benefits I did try it & im happy I did bcoz I saw a tremendous good result in just 3 1/2 days in one week I don’t see my crows feet And lines on my forehead! Guess what? Mine lasted for almost 3 years. I became friends with Manal & Sal way back 2019 & I keep coming back to them bcoz they’re not just offering a good service to their patients but they also cared for all of us! they are very good to what they do & I will never trust Other esthetic practice to do my Botox and filler. "REA""
"Doctor and nurses are extremely patient and knowledgeable. Front desk girls are so sweet. I had a failed botox experience before with another doctor and was hesitant to get botox, but Panacea made it right for me. First, you will consult with the doctor and decide exactly where to inject the botox and how many units. Next, the doctor will mark dots on the spot and use a vein finder near eye area to prevent bruising. I am on the second day and there’s absolutely no bruises. Responding to someone’s comment that they don’t use vein finder; they do use vein finder, and especially so if you are injecting near eye area. Overall, it was a pleasant experience."
"I am SO happy I came here! I was afraid to get Botox anywhere else after the nurse who used to do mine retired, but Sal was so knowledgeable, and 3 days later I’m starting to notice my pesky 11s s moving less and less but my face still looks natural and not frozen (which is what I wanted). Sal’s professional and friendly demeanor kept me calm despite my fear of needles. Also, I could tell he really listened to my primary concerns and didn’t try to sell me on anything else (even though I know my face could use some TLC ). I will be back here for all of my Botox needs for sure ^_^"
"Highly recommend panacea for Botox or any fillers! Very clean & organized office and such a friendly staff. I’ve been to multiple places in Newport Beach and nothing compared to this place. Sal did my Botox and he was so gentle , fast and made me feel at ease because I don’t like needles. I can’t wait to come back. Thank you!"
"Both Sal and Amal are very professional. Their staff is also professional and friendly. I do highly recommend them."
"I can’t say enough positive things about Panacea. The people are lovely- super friendly and welcoming. They are very knowledgeable about latest products and treatments and always provide great consultation on helping me achieve my desired "look""
"This is the best treat for yourself (especially for Christmas or special gift) if you are considering any enhancements to your face! Manal and Faisal are very skilled in their profession and I would not trust anyone else. After careful research and consultation with them, I was confident they were the right choice. I am 53 years old and have a virgin face. I have been wanting to do Botox for the 1st time. I am a very conservative person and like a natural look. They proposed a full face rejuvenation in detail and I am glad I did it. Faisal started with Botox and he has the most gentle hand. He used a device to detect veins so he would not inject them, something absolutely critical for not bruising. I did not bruise at all and I am super veiny. I looked fabulous in a few days! Then Manal did the BBL laser therapy to remove sun spots and melasma, it took exactly 2 weeks for all the scabs to flake off but the results were amazing. My complexion is radiant. Then Faisal did an under eye filler and a little filler to sculpt my chin. He is truly a face artist and knew exactly where to fill. It took my face a couple of weeks to settle but I am pleased with the results as I look years younger and no hollowness or wrinkles under my eyes. Lastly, Manal did lip filler. It is true she is the “Lip Queen”, as she knows how much and where to place filler by giving you a natural yet sexy voluminous look. Overall, I am pleased with their work, each one an expert and skilled at what they do. Lastly, their staff is amazing and the facility is clean and beautifully decorated. I highly recommend them!"
"I had a great experience here. First the office is lovely , the treatment rooms are clinical and comfortable . This husband and wife team work so well together. I was referred from a friend and I was ready to have my lips done again- at my age having full lips gives a younger appearance, takes away the wrinkles so my lip tint glides on much smoother and my mouth has a much perkier look Sal is the one who did my lips and I have to say, It was done so artistically. Outstanding really. I will definitely be back . Thank you!"
"After relocating from Anaheim, I researched several places in the San Diego area for my spouse for Botox and filler and came up disappointed. After days of calling and reading reviews, nothing compared to Panacea’s ethics, expertise and price. Making the trek up to Newport seemed daunting - but we were already prepared to travel to Anaheim for my spouse’s previous injector. My spouse’s former injector was cash only and always had a 3 week wait - she was also not personable and never communicated her injection strategy. The results were fine, but it was never convenient when making an appointment, and because she worked out of a hair salon, we were skeptical about how sanitary the injection room was. We had tried several times to use a Panacea Groupon advertised on Instagram (which you should also check out - we were sold on the natural looking results) We could not get the Groupon site to work, so we called the office for advice - the front desk is WONDERFUL and were very patient with our questions. They were willing to honor the Groupon with a screen print which we appreciated very much - we were both very impressed with the excellent customer service even before we arrived. The office is exceptionally clean, bright and modern - a big change from the last injector’s funky location in Anaheim. We arrived an hour early, and they were able to immediately begin the process. Dr. Sal is warm, friendly with a great smile and a wealth of knowledge. He spent a great deal of time reviewing his injection plan using an iPad and a monitor placed in front of the patient - he reviewed each injection point and what the intended outcome would be. His knowledge of aesthetic procedures is exceptional, and we were both VERY impressed by his expertise. In our experience, transparency in aesthetic procedures is suspect at best, but Dr. Sal and Manal were incredibly respectful. empathetic and never tried to upsell extra procedures or products. My spouse has severe clinical anxiety issues - Manal is a former trauma nurse and has a very calming presence. She is attentive and very professional and made every effort to make my spouse comfortable and calm while Dr. Sal worked his magic. The fact she was on crutches after a recent surgery was even more impressive. We want to sincerely thank the entire staff at Panacea - you have a customer for life - maybe 2...Dr. Sal is one of the few injectors we have met who knows how to correctly inject the undereye area with outstanding results - I may consider an under-eye procedure myself after my spouse’s excellent results!We highly recommend Panacea - seriously...stop scrolling and make an appointment NOW!"
"Visited the center for the first time 2 weeks ago. The facility was welcoming and the staff, professional and personable.I saw Sal, who I highly recommend. He was very knowledgeable and helped me decide against the procedure I was planning. There was no up sale, no pressure, just honesty. So add ethical to the above description of Panacea!"
"I have been to several places and once I found these two absolutely amazing Doctors my face, lips and laser hair removal has been the best I have ever had! My first treatment of laser hair removal was not easy on them I had previously got burned from a laser years ago to the point I would cry it hurt so bad! They have now done two laser treatments and my chin already is so soft and smooth an then burn marks are going away! I am blown away by my results!"
"I’ve been to a few med spas and plastic surgeons for Botox and fillers, but after finding Panacea, I’ve never needed to look anywhere else. I first was introduced to Panacea when I found a great Groupon deal for them and saw their stellar reviews. I’ve been seeing them now for over 3 years. Not only is their office clean and beautiful. You know that they truly care about their clients, by the fact that after just one appointment, they knew me by name, remembered our previous conversations about my job, and etc. Which means I feel at ease knowing that whatever injections I get, they know how many units or what placement works best for me. Though they don’t only use their skills and memory for that of course. They also have a program that stores previous data and spend a great amount of time studying my face and explaining to me what they’ll be doing. They don’t push anything extra on you either. Plus they have a lot of good specials on throughout the year. I love coming here."
"Lana did my hydrafacial, it was my first one ever, I was nervous (I have high anxiety) and she was so calming and sweet and walked me through every step, and explained everything as we went along. That was very much appreciated."
"Beautiful facility. Friendly, competent staff. Open and honest about procedures."
"I have been going to Panacea for almost 2 years now, and have had the best experience and results ever!!! They are very professional, perfectionists at what they do and very friendly. Manal and Faisal are the Amazing!"

"This place is a gem! Dr.Faisal work is beyond amazing. I had lip filler with him, Botox and he fixed an under eye filler that I had previously and was botching. He pays attention to every detail of the face and takes his time which I love. I am never going anywhere else as not only their work is amazing with fillers but their customer service and management is exceptional. Very friendly and welcoming. I was greeted by Sarah and she explained to me a promotion that really benefited me. This place really cares for you and i highly recommend it to my friends and family !!!"

See you in 3 months for my next service!"
