"Michelle Besner is the best! I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to microneedling and she’s able to take care of me easy peasy. Definitely recommend her. She tells me exactly what I need and gives me all my options… I’m already seeing results after the first treatment ✌️"
"Katelyn Oldenburg was very professional and knowledgeable, answering every question thoroughly. I received the Moxi laser treatment, and while my skin does look better, the results weren’t quite as dramatic as I expected after just one session. It seems like multiple treatments may be needed to achieve the outcome I’m looking for."
"I’m grateful for my experience with Kylene, and have seen her for hydrafacials and microneedling. She is extremely knowledgeable, and customizes her clients’ experiences to best fit their needs. She is skilled in her work and very personable. I always leave glowing, and she has transformed my skin after working with her."

"Debra was amazing and I will definitely return for another one of her fabulous hydro facials!"

From Dr. Sternberg, to everyone else, you’re all the best.I saw Michelle today, and have missed her! Despite my being lax in visits, she was and is the best. My skin pen treatment and hydrafacial were amazing! She’s patient, thorough, kind, and a complete expert on what I need. My daughter, who is sensitive and a little fearful of procedures, just adores her. Please keep her forever!!!December 2025 update! Saw Michelle and Kayla and Kristen today, and as always, I left feeling valued, cared for by the best, and given much, much more than what I pay. And sweet Miss Emily was so nice as ever also. Truly, these people are the best. And you know that they love their jobs. That, that is everything these days. I’ll loiter and linger and love you all for as long as you’ll be your usual beautiful and talented selves. Thank you for them, Dr. Sternberg! They make me look my best and feel even better."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I had my original breast augmentation 8 years ago in Connecticut with textured implants, and about 6 years later I started experiencing fluid buildup. For more than 3 years, I struggled with complications that left me frustrated and exhausted.When I reached out to Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery, Dr. Bates and Beth immediately took my case to heart. They rushed to get all my paperwork and surgery scheduled quickly once they heard what I was going through. The level of compassion and urgency they showed gave me hope again.Dr. Bates performed my surgery with such skill and care. He thoroughly prepared me beforehand with detailed instructions that made recovery smoother than expected. Beth and the rest of the staff made me feel so supported every step of the way.After surgery, I woke up very nauseous, but the nurses were incredible — working hard and patiently to get me comfortable and safe. I never once felt alone in the process. At one follow-up, the office even surprised me with a HydraFacial at their spa — such a thoughtful gift that left me feeling refreshed and cared for.Today, I’m healing well and finally free of the struggles that weighed me down for years. Dr. Bates isn’t just a talented surgeon — he’s truly an amazing person who saved me from years of pain and uncertainty. I can’t thank him, Beth, and the entire Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery team enough.I highly recommend Dr. Bates and this office. They combine top-notch surgical skill with genuine kindness and compassion — a rare and special combination."

She was excellent ~ giving details while explaining benefits of each step.Kaitlin was professional, knowledgeable and attentive. I can’t wait for the next one with her!"
"I've had various/procedures done at PVPS. The two surgeons I had did beautiful work! (Dr. Bates most recently - gifted surgeon & very personable.) The staff at PVPS is also just terrific and walked me through everything with patience, kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend PVPS for any cosmetic procedures from facials to surgery. Top drawer all the way!!"
"Chris was fantastic during my Hydrafacial."
"Michelle gave me hands down the best facial I’ve ever had. She was so kind, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel personalized and relaxing from start to finish. You can tell she really knows what she’s doing and cares about your skin and results.I got a HydraFacial and my skin was glowing immediately after. What really impressed me is that it’s still glowing a week later. I’ve had so many compliments on how fresh and clear my skin looks, and I genuinely feel more confident without makeup.If you’re looking for someone who’s not only experienced but also makes you feel completely taken care of, I can’t recommend Michelle enough. I’m already counting down to my next appointment."
"PVPS Amelia Island is THE BEST! I see Deleah for my botox/filler and Katy for my facials and skin care. Both ladies are so kind and amazing at what they do! They are both extremely educated and help you, as the patient, understand what they are doing any why. The front desk staff is incredible as well! I can't recommend them enough!"
"Michelle at the St.Johns location gave the best hydrafacial of my life. Skin feels so fresh and revitalized. I can not wait to see her again for my next service!!"
"You know those genuinely happy people who you know loves their job and is amazing at it? That’s Michelle. I’ve never had a hydrafacial and now I feel so amazing after it that I might be addicted. She made the experience so fabulous and was so knowledgeable."
"I've been seeing Shannon for hydra facials every 3 months for the last 2 years. She's the best. Highly recommend PVPS."
"I have always struggled with my skin care and lacking the knowledge of how to take care of my skin. Amanda Bagby is SO helpful and knowledgeable about skin. Not only does she offer amazing advice about skin and products to use, my appointments for facials with her are always outstanding. I leave with my skin feeling better than ever. Amanda always makes me feel comfortable and is so personable as well. I would recommend her to anybody that is looking for an esthetician to go to!"
"Katy has the most gentle touch when it comes to to hydra facials. She is very knowledge with products that PVPS offers and is always willing to discuss treatment options available. I highly recommend her for your first visit or returning visit."
"Amanda is the best! I went to her for a hydrafacial and she created such a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I immediately felt so comfortable in her treatment room and almost fell asleep during the service. I went to her when I was experiencing a breakout and the products she recommended for my skin worked wonders. She really took the time to understand my skin type and make recommendations based off of my goals. She is such a breath of fresh air, I would get a facial with her everyday if I could!!!"
"I see Katy Hickox at PVPS for hydra-facials and have experienced such good results! I love how she always tailors it to fit my skin’s specific needs. Facials here are always relaxing and rejuvenating!"

"I recently saw Kaitlin DeClercq for a Deluxe Hydrafacial, and it was a dream! She has such a calming presence, offered recommendations for continued improvement of my skin, and helped me relax throughout the process. My skin looked completely transformed and refreshed. I can't recommend her enough!"

"Had dermaplaning and hydrafacial with Amanda. Excellent service and loved her attention to detail. I left with healthy glowing skin!!!!!"
"I had a hydrofacial with Amanda earlier this week for the first time. I have never been a fan of facials only having one years ago that I did not enjoy and did not see any results really. But THIS FACIAL was all it was cracked up to be. She did an amazing job. It felt wonderful and my skin has never felt better. I will definitely make hydrofacials with Amanda a regular part of my beauty routine"
"At nearly 70 years of age, my skin looks and feels better than it has for most of my adult life. Many thanks to Christine Weber, a master Skin Health Specialist, who I saw for both Moxie and Microneedling procedures at the Ponte Vedra location. I never imagined that at this age, the skin on my face could look so healthy, clear, and well, glowing. My goal was to look my best without surgery or fillers and Chris has helped me achieve that, along with recommending products that actually work. I'm finding I don't need nearly the number of products I tried or used in the past. Both Chris and her Skin Health Concierge Sarah Alkhoury have been absolutely wonderful and a joy to know! Highly, highly recommend!!"
"I had a fabulous hydrofacial with Michelle at PVPS- Saint Johns location! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! Michelle is warm, and makes you feel relaxed instantly! I appreciated how she explained each step of the facial as well. I was impressed with the instant results! I will definitely be back! I highly recommend PVPS for your skincare needs!"
"I went in for a Hydrafacial last Tuesday. Had the BEST experience ever. First we talked about my concerns. Kylene made me feel so comfortable about my concerns. With talking about that we went into talking about skincare products. Also Kylene made me feel so good and helped me understand everything about product and my skin. So with that we did the Hydrafacial. I left there glowing and feeling amazing. One week later my skin is still glowing and the products I highly recommend as well. Kylene is absolutely wonderful and very professional. Can't wait for my next visit with her and many more.Thank you Kylene for making me feel pretty."
"Today I had a peel Facial with Mary and in the past, I’ve had Hydro facials with her. She is wonderful always makes me feel comfortable and welcome and does a great job. Anything she has done with me."
"I absolutely love PVPS!! Dr. Bates performed an amazing tummy tuck for me and I’m so happy with the results! Rosie was incredible throughout the entire experience and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and answer all my questions!! I also receive Botox, Filler and Lasers with Kristen Dixon and she does a fabulous job!! She is knowledgable, thorough and makes it as pain free as possible!! Sarah Porter is also a gem of a human- helping me make appointments, answering all my questions and assuring my needs are prioritized. Lastly, Katy Hickox is amazing for my facials and derma planning needs- she’s gentle, knowledgeable and kind!! My confidence is soaring with the help of PVPS!!!"
"Love getting facials from Chris! Such a difference in my skin! Sarah is also so welcoming and a wealth of wisdom."
"Michelle has been doing my facials for years. She truly is the best, she’s so knowledgeable within all aspects of the aesthetic industry. She is always there to hear out my concerns of my skin. Thankfully she’s always sure to recommend multiple solution routes to take. Michelle is the only person I trust with my skin. (Especially acne prone)"
"I can’t rave enough over the amazing service that Kylene provides for me & my skin! She is so knowledgeable about the skin and products that PVPS offers! I have people ask me all the time about my skin! I owe it all to Kylene! Moxi & Skinpen are two of my favorites! Could not live without my PVPS Amelia office visits!"
"Michelle is so kind and takes all my comments into deep consideration when concerns regarding facials. We are coming up on one year together. Can't wait for the before and after.I love our conversation other than facials. Always asking how my family is.Incredible woman."
"The PVPS team is hands down, THE BEST place to go for any service. No matter the service, location, or provider-I have always received the highest level of care. I had surgery with Dr. Sternberg, botox & fillers with Sharon, facials with Mary, and my daughter had surgery with Dr. Hickman. We couldn’t be more pleased. It is so refreshing to see a business that operates in the manner they do…they take the time to really listen in order to give you exactly what you’re looking for, they stay educated and up-to-date on their craft, they take excellent care of their staff, it’s no wonder that every single person there is a joy to talk to and work with. In fact, every time I visit, I wish and envision myself working there, ha ha!!"
"had a wonderful hydrafacial experience. kim was fabulous…she explained every step thoroughly and gave expert advice. will be back!"
"If you are looking for excellent skin care on Amelia Island I highly recommend a visit with Kylene Globis of Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery at their newly renovated (it is stunning) location on First Coast Highway. Since my relocation to North Florida in 2021 Kylene has done an absolutely outstanding job of taking care of my skin with regular facials, treatments and product recommendations. She is absolutely everything I would hope to find in a skin care specialist. From the very first visit with her she spent good amount of time listening to my concerns and then designed a treatment plan to address those specific concerns while drawing on her expertise to offer suggestions targeting areas she saw for further improvement. Refreshingly, this is not a generic "buy a skin care line" approach. You will not be overwhelmed by an onslaught (sell) of new product suggestions and treatment packages only to find yourself completely confused staring at an impossible number of creams, serums etc. What you will find (in addition to seriously great skin) is simply this ....the more you commit to putting your skin care needs in the capable hands of Kylene the better you will become at addressing and recognizing your skin's changing needs . Do yourself and your skin a favor and visit Kylene at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery and experience what should be called "The Globis Glow". You will not be disappointed.Tamara H.,client since June 2021"
"I can’t say enough about my experiences at PVPS and Chris. Chris does my facials each month and wow what a difference it has made in my skin! I wish I would have started years ago."
"Great staff. Comfortable and caring from check-in to treatments and checkout. They have all kinds of treatments from facials to BOTOX to surgery. It’s pretty amazing to have all of this here in Ponte Vedra."
"Kylene did an amazing job during my first time experience with a hydrafacial. The process was very tranquil. I felt so pampered and comfortable; leaving not only with my skin feeling amazing (in fact, the best of all time) but also equipped with educational advice concerning better skin care habits for continuation of results. Kylene's passion and knowledge are equally impressive. I visited the Amelia location which is quaint, has a most relaxing environment and is conveniently located for those in or near Nassau County. I highly recommend Kylene & PVPS and am confident that you will not leave disappointed! Book Today! Thanks again!"
"After checking couple places I’m glad I decided to do micro needling in Ponte Vedra Plastic Durgery.Lady did great job- exactly what my skin needed. I think her name was Moonia ( not sure).i know I’ll be back.P.S. Corrected name. It was Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery 🙂"
"Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgey is great! I love Mary, she has done multiple hydrofacials for me. Also, everyone is the office is pleasant and welcoming."
"I am writing this article in praise of my Aesthetician, Chris Weber at PVPS. I recently had a small procedure done and was concerned about post surgery care and maintenance of my lid area of my eye which is very delicate. I have been going to Chris at PVPS for several years now and thoroughly have enjoyed her tips and especially the expert and thorough knowledge she expends through years of her attending the most advanced progressive symposia's and certifications in skincare. My skin always looks marvelous when I follow in her advice on skincare and many family and friends have now made PVPS their skincare meca of choice and Chris as their Aesthetician. No matter if I choose to use the skincare that she recommends after she utilizes on a facial for me or to first "test drive" the skincare products I always return to get those products because quite honestly my skin just looks and feels better! Again, I returned to Chris to follow up and heed her suggestions of what would help firm, moisturize and keep my delicate eye area looking tight and smooth. I have been following this regimen and gotten many compliments. I started out after having several different skincare specialists after moving to Jacksonville but have stayed with Chris simply because I love her amazing deep cleansing facial's and how I look and feel afterward. I expected the best at PVPS but certainly surprised that Chris has elevated my experience far beyond my own expectations, she is superior at her craft! Chris is the total package for indulgence, experience and complete relaxation!"
