I was going to cancel this appt because my mom is in the hospital but I decided I really needed it for my mental wellbeing and Ciiara did not disappoint. The massage of my face, neck and back was incredible! She was great!

Jenny answered all my questions and explained the reasons for each injection point. Injections themselves were quick and barely hurt. Overall an excellent experience and I would absolutely recommend getting Botox here.
Morgan
s and I’m very happy. I received treatment from Kim G. and she couldn’t be more pleasant. She takes the time to explain everything and steer you in the right direction. Highly recommend her and Nayak overall.

I have been getting Botox for several years now (elsewhere) and this is the best it has ever looked. This was my first time getting fillers and I’m very happy. I received treatment from Kim G. and she couldn’t be more pleasant. She takes the time to explain everything and steer you in the right direction. Highly recommend her and Nayak overall.
Eric H.
Lucy was AMAZING! She let me know everything she was going to do, explained the why’s. I left with glowing skin!
Hailee S.
I have had Botox injected in my frown lines and lip filler to plump my aging lips. She is amazing and truly knows exactly how to make you look beautifully natural! I am 68 years old and since my treatment have been told how young I look and ...looking in my mirror ... makes me happy!Thank you Julie you are the best!
Peggy W.
She is professional, welcoming, and always seems to know exactly what my skin needs so she lead me to Emily Altman for IPL. Not to say that I was skeptical, but I certainly did not expect the insanely dramatic results that I got after only ONE treatment. Background: I'm a 36 year old nurse whose once cute freckles have morphed into sun-damaged age spots that basically looked worse when I tried to cover up with foundation, so I basically embraced them with light makeup. UNTIL NOW! After my first IPL treatment with Emily (who is also AMAZING, by the way!), nearly ALL of my icky age spots have disappeared, fine lines/wrinkles dramatically diminished, and my skin literally has this insane glow that I've never seen on myself before. I forgot to mention that it was also near PAINLESS. I haven't worn foundation since, just a tinted SPF, because my bare skin looks better than with any foundation. Almost too good to be true!!
Deidre G.
Everyone is so friendly and my facial by Lindsay was incredible! This team is so so talented and if you need botox, Shannon is you gal. Thanks you to the entire Nayak/Avani team. Can’t wait for my next appointment!
Carley K.
The nurses and aestheticians take their time and give you 100 percent! They treat you so wonderfully. I am happy everytime I leave. They never try to sell you on things just to make money either. Very impressed on every visit, and I have seen different people each time.
Kate B.
I was super nervous about getting my lips done. She made me feel so much better. She did a FABULOUS job! The entire staff was so nice and friendly! Definitely be going back!
Elizabeth M.
I have had IPL laser at Nayak/Avani for the past 7 years, and have had the best results since being treated by her.
Dana H.
She was very through explaining everything, how it would feel and what to do post treatment.
Janice S.
It was a wonderful experience and my skin feels amazing. She does a great job and helped me to relax. I would highly recommend her services!
Amanda H.
Super friendly and really careful not to overdue anything so that we achieve exactly the look I want. All the other staff are also always very friendly and professional. I’ve been going for 5 years and never had a bad experience.
Whitney M.
I cannot speak highly enough of him and the facility. I live over 3 hours away and would nevertheless drive to St Louis just so he could do my Botox and fillers. And he was always kind enough to acknowledge and expression appreciation for my trusting him so much that I would make that kind of drive for things that, arguably, someone local could probably do well.
R.
I am always nervous to try new facials but she takes the time to explain and put my mind at ease! Nayak front desk staff are very friendly and helpful! Such a great place to visit.
Alma C.
Nothing crazy, just Botox and fillers and there’s one consistent reason I keep coming back. And it’s the office staff, specifically Brook. She’s always smiling and genuinely helpful and pleasant to be around. While it seems the office staff has a lot of turnover, the one constant is Brook. Seeing her smiling face makes the office feel like home.
S.M
Nina is the absolute best aesthetician! Her expertise is unmatched. She meticulously analyzes my skin's needs and perfectly balances them with my desired results. I've experienced incredible transformations with her HydraFacials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and more. Nina truly understands my skin better than I do, and I trust her implicitly.
Elizabeth B.
She is gifted with a lovely touch.
Susan D.
Tim is truly an artist! I went in for Botox and lip filler, and he took the time to listen to all of my concerns, fully understood my aesthetic goals, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. I was impressed not only by his professionalism and expertise, but also by how carefully he customized everything to achieve a natural, refreshed look. The results are subtle and beautiful—exactly what I was hoping for. I completely trust Tim with injections and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive, and talented injector.
Lauren C.
She is truly amazing at what she does. Nina knows my skin inside and out, and her personalized treatments have made a significant difference for me. Each visit is a wonderful experience; she creates such a relaxing atmosphere that I always leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Nina provides expert guidance on what I can do to maintain my skincare, and her recommendations are always spot-on. Her genuine passion for helping her clients shines through. If you’re looking for a talented and caring esthetician, Nina is your go-to! I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my skin. Thank you, Nina, for all that you do!
Zana K.
She has been doing teen facials and skin care education for my child and their skin looks amazing. She is also so kind and encouraging. Go see her (adults or teens!).
Michelle G.
My husband and I both started seeing her for Hydrafacials before our wedding, and she had our skin absolutely glowing for the big day. She’s knowledgeable, gentle, and truly cares about your skin goals. I still see her regularly, and every appointment leaves my skin looking refreshed, hydrated, and healthy. She’s the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking to take their skincare to the next level and enjoy great company along the way! <3
Madalyn F.
She’s been my esthetician for ages and I will only let her near my skin. She’s professional, clean and very knowledgeable about her work. I like the ladies at the front desk too! They are so friendly! 10/10 recommendation!
Mia S.
What can I say? They exceed expectations. Professional, efficient, assessments are spot on. Julie is just really good at what she does. Always a pleasant experience
by Javier G.
The entire team at Avani Derm Spa and Dr.Nayak plastic surgery are so professional, courteous, kind, and talented. I saw Jenny Morrison today for my refill on Botox, and have seen her in the past for other treatments also. Highly recommend her!
by Danielle J.
You will not get a better facial ANYWHERE!!!! Very professional staff. CLEAN & environment. Clearly, EVERY detail is considered when it comes to this spa. Most importantly, not a day goes by when I’m not complimented on how great my skin looks!
by Tiffany T.
Julie Boren is the best…….not only is she an artist, but also a wonderfully warm and friendly human being…..can’t say enough great things about her!
by Kristin B.
The staff is amazing. Everybody is friendly and courteous.
by Denise C.
Today was my first visit, I was treated with total understanding of what I was looking for. Julie listened to my expectations, giving me several options. Yes, I did have a procedure today and I am very happy, can’t wait to see the final results in 2 weeks.
by Debbi P.
Extremely professional, communicated very well about expectations and aftercare. Very minimal discomfort from the laser, I was comfortable the entire time!
by Mattie C.
Jen is absolutely amazing! She talks you through the process so you feel comfortable and the results are always A+++! Best place in STL Country.
by Shelly C.
I highly recommend treating yourself to a facial. I have never felt more relaxed in my life. My skin looks absolutely amazing also. Everyone in both offices are so incredibly kind.
by Tara
This is the only place I trust. I can’t say enough about the quality of the staff, the environment and the wonderful results. I’ve been going there for years. So grateful to have this as a resource. I live in a rural area half of the year so I know what it’s like not to have services available like this!
by Carolyn P.
Consultation was excellent. Whitney and Dr. Nayak could not have been more personable. True professionals with a passion for making lives better.
by Suzanne G.
Always a fabulous experience! Friendly and professional.

“Always a positive experience at Avani Derm Spa. Everyone is super friendly at the front desk … Wouldn’t go anywhere for my Botox, fillers, etc.”
by Vanessa K.
I’ve been going here since 2013 and I absolutely love it! I’ve had rhinoplasty, Botox and fillers. The results are always great, appointments are super easy to setup and the staff are amazing! They’re are really friendly, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and they’re always honest on what is and isn’t realistic.
by Amisha H.
Jackie was wonderful! I went to see her for my first facial. She walked me through the steps of the process and communicated anything I could expect. I was very comfortable and absolutely pleased with the results! Not sure why I didn’t come see her sooner!
by Haley A.
I was so happy to have found Dr.Nayak’s team when I decided to start using fillers. They know exactly what you need and you feel wonderful when you leave there. I don’t know what I would do without Jenny!
by Deborah F.
Shannon is amazing at her job but also a delight to talk to. I highly recommend

“I recently visited Avani Derm Spa for my first IPL treatment … I am so please with the results after 6 days! My many freckles and sun spots are gone and my face looks more evenly toned and feels so smooth! …”
by Carrie M.
Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality“… If you are looking for an awesome, knowledgeable staff look no further. I started my IPL treatments a few weeks ago … And I have to say my results are amazing!! … I also started using several products of Avani Derm Spa and my skin has never felt and looked so good … Thank you guys for everything!”

by Norma R.
Positive: Professionalism, QualityIt’s not a secret that I use lip filler, and have for years. I grew up hating my “no-lips” look, and as I entered my late 20s, I finally decided to address it. I first went to another doctor in town, and had a terrible experience—rude staff made derogatory comments about my tattoo memorial to my dog (literally “next time your dog dies, get yourself some Botox instead of destroying your skin”🙄), seriously inflated prices (the stuff isn’t cheap, but it was hundreds more there >10 years ago than it is at Nayak/Avani today), and I got a bit of a “Joker” look (not what I was going for, obviously).I can’t even remember why I chose Nayak/Avani for my next experience, but I’m glad I did. Office is always super clean, every single nurse injector has done an amazing job and listens to my picky wishes, and I’ve never looked unnatural or overdone.I’ll continue to go here as long as I live locally and if I ever move, will probably make the trip back twice a year!Super confidence booster for me, no more resting B face, no more fear of inheriting the “cat’s butthole” angry-looking mouth.
by Aria A.
I’ve been here several times for my injections (Botox/filler) and Kim is just the best. I also had a hydraneedle facial this time with Lindsay and she was really awesome and the service was great! I regularly get hydrafacials but the micro needling takes it to the next level. Highly recommend Nayak/Avani for all esthetic needs.
by E.H.
“… I love IPL and I love the Avani Derm Spa!! After just 1 treatment, the results were mind-blowing. I have fair Asian skin, prone to freckle, and ravaged by years of sun-damage. The procedure itself was super simple, after the application of a very effective numbing cream, the laser treatment took less than half an hour. There is no downtime, other than not being able to exercise for the rest of the day. The pigmentation will eventually darken into “coffee grounds” and simply flake off after a few days. The process not only evens skin tone but also stimulates collagen…seriously, it is magic! And I applaud all of the safety measures Avani Derm Spa have in place in these extraordinary times…”
by C.M.
From the moment you walk in this fortress of beauty it feels calming and luxurious. They handled everything from paperwork to consult to procedures so quickly and professionally. My Botox treatment from Julie on my forehead and crows feet was nearly painless and such a pleasant experience.I’d recommend Julie, Avani Day Spa and Dr Nayak to anyone!
by J.C.
I just completed my first of 6 Morpheus8 treatments. Ashley was great and kept the mood light. From front desk to treatment, everyone was super helpful and nice. ✌️
by A.C.
The entire team is knowledgeable and extremely helpful every time I get a facial or Botox. My results are great! Definitely best doctor and team!
by K.L.
Went to see Julie B. for some maintenance. I cannot explain how much I love coming to this office. From the time you walk in until the time you leave, you are made to feel so important and like family. Julie and I discussed my concerns and she came up with a great plan. I needed some Botox and a small amount of filler to achieve my goals. Julie is the sweetest, kindest soul, with hands of gold. I can’t wait to see my full results in a couple of weeks.
by B.B.
I recently completed a series of three Morpheus8 treatments. I was looking for a procedure that would improve my skin appearance and texture. When Jenny explained how Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production with the aid of heat from the RF needles I felt this was the natural approach I was hoping to achieve. I have honestly had three neighbors remark on how great my skin looks! These comments were unsolicited since I had told no one about my treatments. A natural improvement through Morpheus8 is a win-win in my opinion. Thank you, Jenny, for your skills and recommendation!
by T.M.
“I always have such great service when coming here … Only place I will ever come to for facials, Botox, products, etc!”
by J.I.
Jennifer always exceeds my expectations! Not only is she so talented at giving a beautiful natural look, but she’s the sweetest person to live! Sometimes I want to go in just to hang out with her! It’s an added bonus she keeps me looking young and fresh. Thank you so much, Jen 🙂

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality“… I never feel like I’m being pushed to buy anything. I’ve had 2 treatments done (a lady doesn’t reveal all of her secrets) and I absolutely loved both of them. I have always been afraid of looking too frozen or too puffy or too anything – but I don’t! My husband barely notices but I do – and that’s what counts…”
