I recently visited Medspa of San Ramon for a laser facial treatment and had a satisfactory…read moreexperience. From the moment I arrived, the environment was clean and organized. The staff was polite and maintained a professional demeanor. Before starting, the practitioner clearly explained the steps of the laser facial and addressed my questions regarding the technology and expected results. The procedure itself was handled with care. The practitioner ensured I was comfortable, and the process was completed efficiently. While laser treatments involve some sensation, it was manageable and consistent with what was described during the consultation. Post-treatment, I observed a noticeable improvement in my skin texture and tone. The recovery time was minimal. Overall, the service was high-quality and delivered the intended results. I would consider returning for future treatments.

I had a terrible LHR experience with Anu. I have extensive prior LHR experience due to PCOS (30+…read moresessions) and returned for treatment after hair regrowth following pregnancy. During my 2nd session, Anu increased the laser settings and made 2-3 passes over my face and neck, resulting in significant burns--the first laser burns I have ever experienced. When I raised concerns, she denied increasing the settings, claimed the marks were not burns, and attempted to lie despite my clear recollection. At subsequent appts, she never inquired about the burns, my skin condition, or treatment progress. She lowered the settings and continued making 2-3 passes each session. Since the burns, I have developed persistent hyperpigmentation and dark patches on my face that have lasted over 8 months. Even after my final session, I developed new dark spots on my upper lip after 3 passes. When I raised these concerns, Anu dismissed them as being due to my Indian skin rather than acknowledging that her technique was the cause, considering I've never had this happen before. Her treatment style also felt rushed and careless. The laser frequently fired on my ears, and during one session she unexpectedly treated my forehead without discussion, claiming she saw a hair, then stating it was actually a wrinkle from furrowing my brows. My final session was the most upsetting. After asking if she could reduce the cryogen cooling spray, she instead turned it off completely and performed the entire treatment without cooling. She claimed this would improve effectiveness and stated I should appreciate her effort. As a NP myself, this seemed questionable, so I researched it afterward. Cryogen cooling is a standard safety feature used to reduce the risk of burns and does not interfere with treatment efficacy. Operating the laser without it offers no clinical benefit and requires lower settings to avoid injury. Intentionally turning it off is negligence and malpractice. Settings must have been consistently low to allow 2-3 passes without burns, which explains my poor hair reduction when compared with previous providers. When I expressed my concerns, Anu defended her decision to turn off cryogen by citing personal experience and stating she'd done the same for others. She measured success by seeing surface hair singe during treatment rather than long-term hair reduction, which is the actual goal of LHR. Throughout our conversations, she was defensive, dismissive, and unwilling to take responsibility for the burns, pigmentation changes, or her deviation from standard protocols. Another issue was repeated misinformation. On multiple occasions, she told me that shaving causes hair to grow back thicker, stating this came from "old Indian beliefs." This is a well-known myth that has been repeatedly disproven. Given that LHR patients are routinely instructed to shave before treatment for optimal results, it is inappropriate to tell patients this myth and cause unnecessary anxiety. She also advised that finer hairs don't need to be shaved. This directly contradicts standard LHR guidance, which recommends shaving all treated hairs so the laser energy targets the follicle rather than surface hair. Taken together with the burns, pigmentation issues, repeated passes, and use of the laser without cryogen cooling, these comments reinforced my impression that Anu relies on personal beliefs and anecdotal experience rather than established, evidence-based protocols. This is particularly troubling because LHR already has well-established standards for both safety and effectiveness. Other notable issues: awful handling of appt rescheduling, lack of patient privacy (doors left open and being able to hear full convos) and staff being dishonest when asking to have a credit card on file by falsely blaming the system. Overall, I found Anu to be arrogant, careless, unprofessional, dismissive and overly reliant on her own judgment rather than established best practices. She provided a refund, but I can't get back my time or clear skin. I strongly recommend against seeing her.

Skin Laundry's customer service is rigid, transactional, and frankly unacceptable for the price…read morethey charge. My appointment was canceled because I arrived 6 minutes late--their cutoff is 5 minutes. No flexibility, no attempt to accommodate, despite the treatment itself being only 15 minutes. They could have easily adjusted the session slightly, but chose not to. Policies seem to matter only when they benefit them. When it comes to supporting customers, there's zero effort to meet halfway. Meanwhile, they have no issue aggressively pushing for tips--on prepaid services--and then prompting for additional tipping again on follow-up visits. It feels excessive and opportunistic. Scheduling is just as bad. I was told they have hundreds of members and don't have time to assist with bookings--everything is on the customer. If that's the case, then invest in proper staffing or support systems. Hiding behind automation while charging premium prices is not acceptable. This business operates with a "take it or leave it" attitude, prioritizing volume and revenue over basic customer experience. For a service at this price point, that's simply not good enough. I am currently under a contract that includes three payments, each covering two visits. I believe I have already completed two payments, with one remaining. Please continue charging my card for the final payment to fulfill the contract. However, I will not be returning to use any of the remaining visits. Once the final payment has been processed, please ensure that no further charges are made and that my account is fully closed. Please confirm when this has been completed.

For anyone considering coming in on their special $50 mini-laser facial, I want to share my…read moreexperience so you know what to expect... I was wondering if one short treatment would make a difference, and I did feel refreshed and super clean when I left. My face felt a bit reshaped, moisturized, and revived, so it was worth it for me. The laser is not at all painful. I did feel pressured to sign up for a membership because the nurse & the person who rung me up kept talking as if I was going to become a member, without checking for my consent or telling me the pricing. They offer medical-grade serums for $50-$100 for one layer of treatment after the laser. Only at the very end did they tell me my package would be $250/month for 2 treatments per month, which is out of my current budget. They do have a $150/month package, but they said it's more for maintenance after 5 or so months of intensive treatments. I do wish they had more affordable options for different budgets. On a side note, I love the Mixt next door for a yummy salad & juice post-facial! :)

I forgot his name, but his communication throughout the massage was great.
