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

Amazing Doctor!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about Dr. Shanthala. If you’ve been struggling with acne scars like I have, you know how frustrating it is to find something that actually works. I first went in for a consultation, and right away, I could tell the doctor really knew her stuff. She was so knowledgeable but explained everything in a way that actually made sense, rather than just using a bunch of medical jargon. I felt super comfortable moving forward because she took the

Actually Seeing Results
I originally went in planning to do Fraxel because of everything I had read online about it. When I met with Dr. Shantala, she asked me to trust her recommendation instead and suggested the UltraClear laser. I decided to follow her advice and went ahead with the treatment she recommended. After my second treatment, I’m honestly starting to see real results. I’ve struggled with acne my entire life, and the scarring has always made me feel like having nice skin just wasn’t in the

A True Gem!
I came from Canada for the second Time to have another treatment with the Ultra clear laser by Dr. Shantala. As usual, she was very professional and tools the Time to assess my treatment needs. Afterwards, she was always available if I had any questions. I am very satisfied with the care I received and I highly recommend Dr. Shantala She is worth the trip.
