"Dr Carolina is my go-to for all things beauty in Costa Rica. I have had multiple procedures done by her including Hidrolaser & Bodytite on my stomach, arms and thighs. I go for my botox and to get my lips done. I have also had Fotona and Luneca. I love how she always makes me feel so beautiful and still so natural at the same time. She and her staff are exceptional (nurse Debbie is also the BEST!). I am originally from Los Angeles and have gone to several doctors in the sates and still Dr Carolina is the best I have ever been to. The results are so amazing that my friends from the states fly to Costa Rica to have procedures done. I am almost 50 years old and look better than I did in my 20's. I will attach a photo from my wedding 12.3.2022. We designed a plan to make sure both my body and face looked fantastic for our big day. I highly recommend Dr Carolina - she is an excellent doctor and I recommend her to everyone I know. You will be thrilled with the results!!"
"I can’t say enough about my experience with Dr. Carolina Pérez at CSI Clinic in Heredia, Costa Rica! I went in for Radiesse and Juvederm treatments, and the results were truly transformative. At 47, I wanted a refreshed look, and I got exactly that—like a facelift without any surgery! The immediate smoothing effect gave me an instant confidence boost, and every day I notice the improvements even more. Dr. Pérez is a skilled professional with a warm, reassuring touch, making the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. I even joked about convincing her to move to Los Angeles, but honestly, I’d happily return to Costa Rica just for her exceptional care!"
"Absolutely fantastic experience at CSI Clinic with Dr. Carolina Pérez! I recently went in for laser hair removal on my full legs, bikini, and underarms, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. The clinic is state-of-the-art, equipped with the latest technology, which made the process both quick and completely painless. Dr. Pérez and her team were incredibly professional, kind, and attentive, making me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire appointment. I highly recommend CSI Clinic to anyone considering laser hair removal—Dr. Pérez truly delivers a 5-star experience!"
"Received excellent care!! The staffs are friendly, caring, and accommodating. I visited several other clinics, before making my final decision. I felt it was the best, and safest environment for me. The doctors have excellent bedside manners, they genuinely care about their patients. It was the best result I have ever experienced. I will definitely go back!!"
"I had an incredible VI peel treatment with Dr.Carolina. Dr.Carolina and her staff are very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process, ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way. The peel itself was gentle yet effective—my skin feels so smooth and looks brighter than ever. She also provided great aftercare tips to help me maintain the results. The environment was relaxing and professional, making the entire experience even better. I highly recommend CSI for anyone considering a peel. I’ll definitely be back for more treatments!"
