I recently had the CO2 laser resurfacing done at the Skin Center. What a great experience!…read more Prep consisted of applying a bleaching cream daily for two weeks before the procedure. This was to allow for deeper penetration of the laser during the procedure and better results. When I got to the office on procedure day, my nurse Angie (she's AMAZING!) thoroughly explained the procedure, discussed my concerns and then applied numbing cream. The cream sat on my face for about 20-30 minutes. There was also an option of having a pain pill as well as the numbing cream but I opted just for the numbing cream. She put goggles on me to protect my eyes and then started the procedure. What struck me most during the procedure was the smell. It was sort of a burning smell - something not expected, but makes sense. The laser itself wasn't too bad, though certain parts of my face hurt more than others. The constant blast of cool air during the procedure helped a lot. I had one pass of the laser over my entire face and then a second pass over the bottom half of my face where my problem areas are. Angie applied Aquafor to my face when finished. After the procedure for about an hour or two, my skin felt sunburned. I had a bit of pinpoint bleeding (normal for the procedure) a few hours after the procedure but then that went away. I applied Aquafor, did vinegar soaks, and iced my face with a bag of frozen peas off and on for the next 48 hours. The redness and swelling went away gradually over the next 5-7 days following the procedure. I'm now about 2 1/2 months post procedure and while it did take about 6 weeks to see results, my skin is looking better and better! It's much smoother and my scarring/hyper pigmentation has faded substantially. I still get hormonal break outs around my chin and jaw, but they seem to heal much faster and with less hyper-pigmentation then before due to the extra collagen growth stimulated by the procedure. All in all it was a great experience with great results! With the CO2 laser they do recommend at least 2 treatments so I'll definitely be getting another round after the summer for even better results! Love the skin center and the AMAZING staff!

Kate took the time to explain different skin types and what category mine fell into. Once I learned about my skin type, she catered my facial products to what would best suit me and my needs. The hand, arm, shoulder, head and neck massage was the cherry on top of an already relaxing spa day. Oh, and she has a line of essential oils that she used to make the whole experience wonderful to all senses. If you're thinking of booking with her, do it!

I received a gift certificate from my husband. This was my first experience at this place and I was…read moresadly very disappointed. I got a spa mani and a spa pedi. The spa pedi wasn't too bad but the painting of my nails is worse than what i could do myself. The tech also kept turning my massage chair to different settings then finally turned it off when she was painting my toenails and they still turned out this bad. The spa mani was the most disappointing as I told her i was looking forward to the hand massage since my hands have been hurting recently. She completely skipped over any hand massage and dipped my hands in wax and put what looked like oven mitts over top of them. The tech did change colors on me as well which didn't matter to me but might annoy another person as my fingers didn't match my toes then.

It is a clean, beautiful salon and I've never had any bad experiences, apart from a barking dog during a facial. However, I won't be returning. I normally don't request an invoice be emailed to me. However, I did the last time I had a treatment and noticed on it that I was charged a 10% Covid-19 Surcharge. I did reply to the email and asked why this charge was on there as I was completely unaware. The owner wrote me back saying they would gladly refund the charge to my account (they did) and explained that the fee is disclosed and they also have a sign at the front desk (I missed this!). However, when I asked where it was disclosed, I found out it is buried in their FAQ section under Pricing: Due to increasing supply costs, a 10% surcharge of up to a maximum of $25 is added to all services. Had this surcharge been more transparent and included in the actual listing of their services along with pricing, I certainly wouldn't have booked an appointment knowing how much that would add to the service.

Beware!!! BURNS and BLISTERS after IPL. If you are considering IPL seek someone competent!…read more I had my IPL done on my chest, shoulders and arms. Chest is ok, but my shoulders and arms are messed up now because of incompetent people who performed this treatment on me. My arm was so badly burned and blistered that it took few days for pain to go away,  I couldn't  sleep for few nights. I contacted Carrie and send some pictures, she wasn't concerned and said its all ok and not gonna scar. Let me tell you, she was wrong,  I have unnecessary scar  on my elbow. The rest of my skin on my arms and shoulders is in white patches where it was burned. IPL supposed to bring your dark spots (only) to the surface, but in my case it removed my pigment completely and now I have white patches on my skin. In addition, you should know that this place will try to rip you off! If you decide to go to this place make sure you check prices on their website before. In the beginning I only purchased 3 sesions for  chest and they told me its $825 for 3, but when I checked their website its $200 for 1 session for chest (do the math.) When I brought it up, they add on shoulders  next time to compensate. When I did arms only, its $150 on their website for 1 sesion, but they wanted to charge me $350 at the register. I will never recommend this place to anyone and regret going there.

The whole process was beyond what I could have asked for. I've been to spas where after the treatment, it's the time when products are forced upon me. With Elaine, this was not the case! She offered samples!!! And explained what they were and when to use them. This will be the best money you could spend on yourself. I highly, highly recommend utilizing all the services Elaine has to offer. I know I will be back for sure.
