Esthetics By Monica

Esthetics By Monica is a skincare clinic at 7742 Herschel Avenue, Suite C, in La Jolla, and it serves clients from La Jolla and the wider San Diego area. Founder Monica Vidrio leads the practice, which describes its clinic as a blend of spa comfort and medical expertise.

Skincare treatments include facials, advanced skincare work and chemical peels, including glycolic, anti-aging and corrective peels. The clinic also offers LED light therapy, microchanneling and skin resurfacing, and runs an Acne Program. Holistic and relaxation-based options include facial massage, facial sculpting, face yoga, and Reiki with energy healing sessions, which the business describes as complementary rather than a substitute for medical or psychological treatment.

Treatments may include therapeutic essential oils, binaural sounds, a heated bed and energetic touch. The business also offers a two-day, one-on-one course for licensed estheticians and massage therapists covering face massage, advanced facial technique and face yoga, taught in person or virtually.
