Dr. Vega Works
Her philosophy is simple: total wellness begins with personalized care. From hormonal balance to skin rejuvenation, every treatment is tailored to help women feel confident, energized, and radiant—inside and out.

A one-on-one consultation
Your first visit starts with a 3D skin scan and an unhurried one-on-one review. No cost, no pressure.
A plan made for you
She looks at your features from several angles, then explains the number of sessions, how results build and the cost before anything is booked.
Care in English or Spanish
Dr. Vega is bilingual, so you can ask every question in the language you are most comfortable in.
Follow-up as results settle
After injectables, you come back once your result has settled to review it together, in person and on photos.

I’ve been suffering from severe rosacea, and after just one IPL treatment and a new skincare routine from Golden Rose, my skin has improved so much! I went from red, bumpy, dry, and irritated skin to a smoother, glowing complexion with barely any pinkness. I’m so happy with the results and truly grateful to Dr. Ayala and Golden Rose. Highly recommend! ❤️

I’m in town for work on a somewhat longterm basis and needed to re-up on my masseter Botox badly! With one day notice I was able to book an appointment online which I really appreciate. Dr. Ayala carries all the non Botox neurotoxins which I appreciate for the cost savings. The office is super cute and she clearly pays great attention to detail. Would come back for other services and highly recommend.

I had a great experience at Golden Rose Med Spa. I tried the Morpheus treatment to help contour my jawline. I was a little nervous at first but Dr. Kimberly made sure I was very comfortable and walked me through the entire thing. She is wonderful and so are her staff. I felt like I was in good hands and I’m excited now that I’m starting to see my results.

Absolutely loved everyone there. Dr. Ayala and the team made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked in. It was so cool to get a full understanding of my skin health and how it has aged. I did the CO2 (cool peel) and IPL treatment. Dr. Ayala made me feel super comfortable and calm before each procedure. Today is day 2 after the treatment and I cannot wait to see the full results.
