I got a Groupon for IPL treatment at this med spa.

I’ve read and watched a few videos, where IPL was used to treat broken capillaries and this was the main reason I wanted to try it. I have a few clusters around my nose and just a little bit on my chin. Nothing too bad. I also had some post acne hyperpigmentation on my chin, that IPL is supposed to be perfect for.

At the appointment they kept saying how they have this other device that would be perfect for treating my broken capillaries, that’s called Hyfrector 2000. I knew absolutely nothing about that thing, so I tried to ask some questions and in response I got something like “oh, sure looks like you’ve never done anything like that before” like I am asking too many questions.

In the end she said it’s very safe and it would only be $75 with their special (she later changed it to $100). And with my stupid logic “what the hell, I am here already” I agreed.

Turns out it’s not any kind of laser I imagined, but a needle that heats up and destroys tissue (usually used for removing skin tags, warts etc). It was painful even after numbing and that needle is way to thin to target all that redness around my nose, so she ended up only treating 20% of the problem, which is a good thing, because after scabbing heeled I was left with SCARS, which as you imagine much worse and more visible than broken capillaries!

The woman, who was doing the procedure seemed unconfident in every movement, her hands were shacking a little, and she didn’t even have decent lighting. So in one area, which she especially focused on, after 1 month of healing I have a hole in my skin, she most likely overly treated that area. I am not even sure if it helped with broken capillaries, because it’s all darkened now.

As for IPL, she started doing it already and then asked: “you don’t use retinol, right?”. I said I stopped using it for 3 days, she turned of the machine and said we need to reschedule, because it’s best not to use it for a week. I appreciate the cautiousness , but could have warned me, when I was making my appointment. I came back for IPL and I had absolutely zero results from it. Not even my dark spot from...

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Ingrid’s exceptional esthetician skills, and let me just say, she is absolutely amazing! From the moment I stepped foot into her tranquil spa, I knew I was in for a treat.

Ingrid’s warm and friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease, making me feel comfortable throughout the entire session. She took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and preferences, tailoring her approach to meet my specific needs. Her expertise and attention to detail were truly remarkable.

During the hair laser removal and picoway treatment, Ingrid’s delicate touch and gentle techniques created a blissful experience. She skillfully worked her magic, leaving my skin feeling rejuvenated and glowing. It was evident that she possessed a deep understanding of skincare and utilized the latest techniques to ensure optimal results.

Not only did Ingrid excel in the technical aspects of her craft, but she also went above and beyond to provide a truly personalized experience. She took the time to educate me about proper skincare routines, offering valuable tips that have truly transformed my daily regimen.

Beyond her professional skills, Ingrid’s passion for her work was evident in every interaction. She genuinely cared about her clients' well-being and went the extra mile to ensure their comfort and satisfaction. Her dedication to creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere was palpable, making each visit feel like a luxurious escape from the outside world.

I cannot recommend Ingrid enough as an esthetician. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients make her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking top-notch skincare treatments. If you're looking for an esthetician who will leave you feeling pampered, refreshed, and with skin that radiates beauty, Ingrid is the one to see. Trust me, you won't be...

This medical spa is my one stop shop for all my beauty needs. I come here for my filler, Botox, and laser. Mink is amazing and so knowledgeable when it comes to facial anatomy, technique, and treatment products. I completely trust her and I honestly have never left disappointed. Further, she has been so kind and attentive while working with me on different filler products since my body metabolizes filler quite quickly. Also, you really can’t beat the pricing, Val (who is such a sweet heart) has offered me great treatment packages, including my full body laser treatment package that saved me alot of money compared to the prior laser places I used to go to. The entire staff here are so friendly, personable, and professional. Making appointments is easy and can be done via text. You get text reminders prior to appointments and I have never had an issue rescheduling when my schedule necessitates it. I trust this place so much that I even brought my mom here for filler and Botox, which says a lot since my mom is very cautious and gets nervous about injectable beauty treatments. But I truly trust this place so much and my mom even drove all the way from the westside to come back for treatments on her own after having great results. I highly recommend this...
