THE STANDARD
An RN-led medical spa minutes from Piedmont
At Urban Allure, RN-led is not a marketing phrase. It is a clinical standard that applies to every appointment, every treatment, and every patient. Each one is performed by a California-licensed Registered Nurse under the physician oversight of our Medical Director, Dr. Hvistendahl.
Co-founded by Erin Galvin RN and Emily Witschi RN BSN, Urban Allure was built to bring the standard of care that belongs in a physician's office to Piedmont, without the rushed appointments, the upselling, or the undertrained providers that define too many med spas.

REVIEWS
What Piedmont patients are saying
A loyal Bay Area community that returns because the results are real and the care is honest.
"I've been going to Urban Allure for over a year, for Botox and monthly facials. As soon as I met Erin and Emily, I knew that I would never go anywhere else! They are both incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and treat every session with care. My skin feels and looks so much better since starting at Urban Allure."
"I honestly can't recommend Urban Allure enough. Emily and Erin are both incredibly kind, thoughtful, and professional — you feel genuinely cared for the moment you walk in. They take the time to really get to know you, listen to what you want, and make thoughtful recommendations without ever making you feel rushed or 'sold to.'"
"I loved everything about Urban Allure Medical Spa. I see Erin at least quarterly to help with acne scarring and texture of my skin. She does an incredible job and I am LOVING the results. After suffering from chronic acne for some time it is nice to finally see clear and scar free skin! Erin takes the time to listen to me and is patient with me. I have recommended her to so many people!"
