Absolutely love Raiza at Avalon Laser! I went in for Dysport and was genuinely impressed by how…read moreprofessional, knowledgeable, and gentle she was throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely at ease. The results were exactly what I was hoping for super natural, smooth, and refreshed-looking without that "frozen" effect. Raiza really has a great eye and a light touch. You can tell she truly cares about achieving subtle, balanced results that enhance your features rather than overdo them. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who's not only skilled but also kind, attentive, and detail-oriented :)

On June 21, 2025, I visited Avalon Laser to treat a few facial spider veins after seeing the…read moredoctor's work on social media and reading positive Google reviews. What I expected to be a routine cosmetic procedure unfortunately resulted in a much more difficult outcome for me (photos attached). Shortly after the treatment, leaky blisters formed, and about a week later they developed into scabs on the treated areas. When the scabs eventually came off, many areas appeared indented and concerning. During virtual follow-up consultations, I was told the healing process appeared to be normal. However, my skin continued to worsen, and I later sought care at an emergency room, where the injuries were documented as burns and I was referred for dermatologic follow-up. Avalon Laser offered additional treatment options, including a CO laser session or microneedling at their facility, and also suggested that I see a dermatologist in the Los Angeles area. I did undergo one CO laser session with Avalon Laser, but I ultimately decided not to continue treatment at the clinic because I no longer felt comfortable proceeding there. To their credit, the clinic checked in with me virtually on a regular basis and offered encouragement during the healing process. However, my recovery has been much longer and more challenging than I expected based on how my skin appeared. Since then, I have consulted with several specialists and undergone multiple treatments in an effort to improve my skin. The recovery process has been lengthy, painful, and uncertain. The clinic refunded the cost of the original treatment, which I appreciated, but it has not come close to covering the many additional medical visits, treatments, medications, and skincare products I have needed since then. The emotional impact has also been very difficult. For weeks I struggled to sleep and often cried at night. I became withdrawn and stopped seeing friends because I felt embarrassed about my appearance. What began as a simple cosmetic procedure has turned into a long and ongoing recovery. I attempted to pursue compensation through legal counsel and sent a demand letter, but I did not receive a response. I also followed up by email without success. I am sharing my personal experience so that others can be aware and carefully consider their options before undergoing treatment.

It was such a fantastic experience from start to finish. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the front desk team. The receptionist was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. She made the entire check-in process easy and set the tone for an amazing visit. If you're considering cosmetic treatments, I highly recommend La Jolla Cosmetic.

I've been coming to Avalon Laser for several years now, and as someone who's very picky and has…read morehigh standards when it comes to my skin, this is my go-to place. I originally found Avalon because I followed Nancy from another medical spa. She is absolutely amazing, and even after she moved to the Carlsbad location, I planned to keep following her. But then I won a laser treatment at Avalon's Christmas party, which is how I started seeing Raiza--and I'm so glad I did. What I love about Raiza is that she really listens. She's never pushy or trying to sell you treatments you don't need. She's incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to understand what you're looking for. At 53, less is definitely more for me. I want to look like the best version of myself, not like I've had work done, and she completely gets that. She's given me the best Botox I've ever had using the fewest units, and recently she did my lips. I was nervous because I wanted them to look natural, and she absolutely nailed it. The difference is subtle, but it brought so much balance to my face. I've gotten so many compliments, and no one can quite put their finger on what's different--which, to me, is exactly how great aesthetic work should be. I also have to say that everyone at Avalon Laser is kind, welcoming, and professional. They always have great specials, and one thing I've noticed over the years is that so many of the staff have been there for a long time. To me, that says a lot. Happy employees usually mean a well-run business, and that's something I really appreciate. I can't recommend Avalon Laser enough. If you're looking for honest advice, natural results, and people who truly care about their clients, this is the place.

I don't often write reviews, but Avalon Laser has consistently exceeded my expectations and…read moreabsolutely deserves one. I want to give a special shout-out to Dr. Tirgari and his outstanding team, especially Laleh and Raiza. I've had several cosmetic skin treatments with them over the year, and I've been extremely happy with both the experience and the results. Without getting into too many personal details, I've noticed a meaningful improvement, and it's clear they genuinely care about helping their patients look and feel their best while maintaining natural-looking results. What truly sets Avalon Laser apart, though, is the people. Dr. Tirgari, Laleh, Raiza, and the entire staff are simply good people who take pride in doing good work. You can tell they genuinely enjoy helping people feel more confident in their own skin. There is never any pressure, upselling, or high-pressure sales tactics--just honest recommendations based on what they believe is right for you. When they do offer promotions, they're genuinely competitive and a great value. Listen, no matter where you go, cosmetic treatments are highly individualized, and results will naturally vary from person to person. But if you're looking for a team that will take the time to understand your goals, treat you with honesty and respect, and do everything they can to help you achieve the best results possible, I can't recommend Avalon Laser highly enough.

NOTING Aesthetically Pleasing about this place!!!…read more I had 3 BBL Laser treatments at this Med Spa performed by NP Sydney. My skin is rosacea prone so BBL when done correctly is very helpful. Unfortunately during the first treatment my face was burned and I ended up with deep purple bruises and blisters. I had to stay home for a week until the blisters subsided. My face became more red than before the treatment. I was told that the next two sessions would give me the expected results, but they did not. My face became very sensitive and the redness didn't go away. I noticed deeper broken capillaries in the areas where I was burned. When I expressed my concerns Sydney simply shook her head and said: "there is always a risk". My risk was in her hands. Her job was to assess my skin type, select the appropriate filters and correctly adjust the laser's energy setting, but she is either inexperienced or incapable. After contacting Sydney again I got a call from the owner, Stacy Grissen and she set up an appointment for me to come to see her the fallowing week.The day of the appointment Stacy called me and with an aggressive tone of voice informed me that she was cancelling our meeting, (BTW if I cancelled an appointment the same day they would charge a fee). She said that I snapped my fingers in front of Sydney's face, which is a complete lie... and btw why wait a week to cancel an appointment? I guess she decided to be offensive rather than being concerned that her employee did damage to my face.The way she treated me is inappropriate and dishonest. I am writing this to warn anyone who is thinking of using this business : go there at your own peril. There is no place for a business like this in our beautiful community of Encinitas.

Update 4/25/26: I truly cannot say enough good things about Katie Martin. She is not only…read moreincredibly sweet and warm, but also highly skilled, detail oriented, and professional. From the moment I met her, she made me feel so comfortable and completely taken care of. I have seen her for Dysport and RF Microneedling (twice). She explains everything clearly, answers every question, gives you clear written after care instructions and you can just tell she genuinely cares about her patients and their results. What I appreciate most is how much she prioritizes safety. I've had to rebook appointments more than once, because I still had remnants of spray tan on my face and another time because of my tretinoin use. At the time it felt like a bummer, but it showed me how much she truly puts her patients first and will never cut corners. That level of integrity is rare and so appreciated. I trust her completely with my skin, I love my results afterwards and just highly recommend Katie. I also want to add an additional note about the sweet girls who also do my check-in/out. They are super friendly, so genuine and very helpful. I like to going and always seeing their familiar faces. Next time I'll remember to get their names.
