THE TREATMENTS

Treatments & Services

Injectables & Fillers

07 SERVICES

Injectable treatments are some of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures. They can smooth wrinkles, add volume, and enhance your natural features with little to no downtime.

Botox

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable that smooths fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Results typically last 3 to 4 months.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth deep lines in the face. They can plump cheeks, soften nasolabial folds, and improve facial contours.

Lip Fillers

Lip fillers add volume and shape to your lips using hyaluronic acid-based injectables. Results are instant and usually last 6 to 12 months.

Juvederm

Juvederm is a popular hyaluronic acid filler used to smooth wrinkles, add lip volume, and enhance facial contours. Results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

Restylane

Restylane is a hyaluronic acid filler that treats wrinkles, adds lip volume, and restores fullness to the face. Different formulas target specific areas for natural-looking results.

Sculptra

Sculptra stimulates your body's own collagen production to gradually restore facial volume. Results develop over several weeks and can last up to 2 years.

Kybella

Kybella is an injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin. Most people see noticeable results after 2 to 4 sessions.

Skin Rejuvenation

04 SERVICES

Skin rejuvenation treatments improve your skin's texture, tone, and overall appearance. These procedures can address everything from fine lines to acne scars.

Facials

Facials are customized skin treatments that cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin. From hydrating to anti-aging and medical-grade facials, they're tailored to your skin type with no downtime.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair using a surgical blade. It leaves your skin smooth and helps skincare products absorb better.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels remove the outer layers of skin to reveal smoother, brighter skin underneath. They can help with acne, sun damage, fine lines, and dark spots.

Microneedling

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers your body's natural healing process. It helps reduce acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.

Laser Treatments

03 SERVICES

Laser treatments use focused light energy to target a wide range of skin concerns. From hair removal to skin resurfacing, these procedures offer long-lasting results.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles, leading to long-lasting hair reduction. Most people need 6 to 8 sessions for the best results.

Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal breaks down ink particles in the skin so your body can naturally flush them out. Multiple sessions are typically needed depending on the size and color of the tattoo.

Vein Treatment

Vein treatment addresses visible spider veins and varicose veins using lasers or injections. Most sessions are quick, and results improve over several weeks.

Body Contouring

04 SERVICES

Body contouring treatments help sculpt and reshape your body without surgery. These non-invasive options can reduce fat, tighten skin, and build muscle.

Skin Tightening

Skin tightening treatments use radiofrequency or ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and firm up loose skin. It's a popular non-surgical option for the face, neck, and body.

Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite treatments use a combination of massage, radiofrequency, or laser technology to smooth dimpled skin. Multiple sessions are usually needed for visible improvement.

Body Contouring

Body contouring treatments reshape and slim specific areas of the body without invasive surgery. Options include fat freezing, radiofrequency, and ultrasound-based technologies.

Emsculpt

Emsculpt uses electromagnetic energy to trigger powerful muscle contractions that build muscle and burn fat. A single session is equivalent to thousands of crunches or squats.

Wellness & IV Therapy

05 SERVICES

Wellness treatments go beyond aesthetics to support your overall health. From IV drips to hormone optimization, these services help you feel your best from the inside out.

IV Therapy

IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into your bloodstream for fast absorption. It's commonly used for hydration, energy boosts, and immune support.

Weight Loss Programs

Medical weight loss programs offer personalized plans that may include prescription medications, nutritional counseling, and body composition monitoring. They're supervised by healthcare professionals for safe results.

Semaglutide / GLP-1

Semaglutide is a prescription medication originally developed for diabetes that has shown impressive results for weight loss. It works by reducing appetite and helping you feel full longer.

Hair Restoration

Hair restoration treatments such as PRP and exosome therapy stimulate dormant follicles to slow thinning and encourage regrowth. Most plans involve a short series of sessions for the best results.

Exosome Therapy

Exosome therapy uses regenerative growth-factor signals to support skin and scalp renewal, often paired with microneedling or hair-restoration treatments. It's a leading-edge option for rejuvenation.

“The Gspa Los Olivos is a great local med spa. I love that I don’t have to drive down to SB. I see Karen here, she is amazing. She takes her time and listens to what you want and does not go overboard, which was my greatest fear”

I Love this place! Every one there is awesome..! I searched for years to find a qualified and knowledgeable person to be able to laser off my badly tattooed eyebrows! I had tried everything and anything! I was giving up on ever having nice eyebrows… ! After 3 years of paying for the pain I put myself through I heard about “The G Spa” in Santa Barbara, Ca. I am so thankful for Diane and the office crew I hope that if anyone is reading this and finds themselves in the same situation I was in for years, just call them. It changed my life. Diane is the best! Thanks for listening, Levena

I was always so scared and nervous of doing anything to my face but once I met the ladies at The G Spa they made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. Ashley is amazing, such a light hand and walks you through every step of the way. Karen is also a sweetheart and does an amazing job. Can’t forget to mention the front desk girls always greeting you with a smile. If you are on the fence about any service I say this would be the best place to go!

Carrie Goldman 2 months ago

Had a wonderful experience at G Spa! I had my first laser done. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The nurse was extremely knowledgeable, explaining the equipment, what each piece targets, and how the procedure would go. I will definitely come back for more treatments and recommend G Spa to my friends!

Sophie Hernandez a month ago

Front desk / tall girl very rude, didn't schedule my appointment correctly never apologized/ didn't even try to fix the problem. The staff / Dr, estheticians didn't seem knowledgeable. Didn't explain things n were in n out, didn't tell me I was having a consult done first very unorganized.
