Wish I Found Her 10 Years Ago!!!
• 1m ago I've been a patient for over 5 years of Dr. Shanthala's, and there's a good reason for it. Love her. She is constantly learning new techniques and procedures while offering a multitude of standards. Her education is impressive. Her dedication, compassion, and knowledge are beyond extensive. I have done the core laser with amazing results. After 2 years of the laser, I'm now doing a little maintenance with RF Microneedling sessions and am very pleased. Dr. Shanthala explains

I Finally Found the Perfect Doctor
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Shanthala for CO2 laser treatments, and her technique is incredible. She is so precise and detail-oriented, you can tell she’s a perfectionist in the best way, she won’t let you leave until everything looks exactly how it should. She truly cares about her patients and takes her time, always checking in on comfort and explaining what she’s doing. What I appreciate most is that she never tries to oversell or push unnecessary treatments; she’s honest about

one of a kind doctor
I’ve been seeing Dr. Santa for CO2 laser treatments on my face and neck and I could not be happier with both the results and the experience. She has such a gentle reassuring bedside manner and explains every step so you know exactly what’s happening and what to expect what really stands out is that she never pushes extra procedures or tries to upsell anything she is honest about what you actually need what would realistically help and what isn’t necessary. I always feel safe,

I Highly Recommend
Awesome experience and outcome. Very thorough and she explains everything she is going to do. What to expect during the procedure plus expected outcome and timeline. The outcome was better than I expected. I highly recommend.

Years of Acne Scarring Finally Fading — Expert MD-only Care from Dr. Shanthala
I've been seeing Dr. Shanthala for a couple of years now, going in every few months for treatments. I came in with acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. I had chronic acne when I was younger that left me with a lot of dark marks and scarring. As someone with darker skin, finding the right provider was really important to me. A lot of laser treatments aren't safe for deeper skin tones, and Dr. Shanthala was very deliberate about which technologies she used

Dr Shanthala Saved My Life!
Dr. Shanthala saved my life. My Story: The damage to my perioral area by the “Best of Boston” plastic surgery practice that had treated me from 2010 to 2025 destroyed my confidence and stole from me pleasure and pride in my appearance and in how I’d cared for my health. I trusted the doctor. I did whatever he advised. He filled my lips between 2010 and 2018. Finally, I stopped, unhappy with the “duck” look. The injections hadn’t filled my lips—the product migrated above my

A Godsend
Dr Shanthala Boston Laser Coring Expert MD is the best. At 55 I noticed the texture of my skin was starting to break down, looking crackled rather than smooth. When I grew up we did not use any sunscreen and I spent my childhood years in the sun every day on a lake, teen years at the beach (with baby oil!), and young adult years in tanning beds (and I am very fair skinned). I have severe sun damage that was starting to show. For The next 10 years I tried almost everything that

Amazing Experience
I met with Dr. Shanthala to discuss options for wrinkle reduction, blemish removal and an overall skin refresh. She was so thorough in going over options and was so helpful with the whole process. From the initial consultation to the follow up care, the entire process was a very pleasant experience. During the treatment, she took great care to ensure I was comfortable and walked me through every step. She has continued to follow up with me post care. I am extremely happy with

Great Experience with Ultraclear Laser Resurfacing
I had Ultraclear laser resurfacing with Dr. Shanthala and it was a very positive experience. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and truly cares about her patients. She explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. My skin looks healthier and more even, and I love that I don’t feel like I need much coverage anymore. The results look natural and refreshed, which was exactly what I was hoping for. I’m very grateful for the care I received

My Amazing Experience with Dr. Shanthala
My experience with Shanthala for the past 12, yes TWELVE years has been simply outstanding. She is the most compassionate , sincere, genuine and honest physician I have ever dealt with. She allows ample time with every patient and covers every detail of the procedure. She will NOT perform a procedure if she feels it is not necessary. She is honest about expectations and results. Her personal follow up to procedures is sincere and caring. She is the only person I trust to do
