    I just gave Laser Away Fremont location a call, but agreed to get transferred to San Carlos location for a phone consultation. The main reason for the consultation tonight is to ask for laser hair removal pricing, and nothing more. The lady, Kana, was really nice when I spoke to her. However, I did not appreciate how I was made to feel like I had to lock into a financing for a packaged deal. Supposedly she gave me a huge deal, but I am also very weary of the whole, "get this awesome deal now or else you'll lose it" speech. Even after asking her if I could sit on the thought of financing the packaged deal, she kept pushing me to enter my full contact information, which included email, name, birthday, address, how much I pay in rent, and monthly gross income. They even have an option for us to enter our SSN, for some reason. Although she kept pushing me to enter my information, I ended up telling her to let me re-consider. She then lowered my financing price, which took me by surprise. It seems like she was desperate for me to sign up then and there. I was so surprised that I wasn't sure if I should say "thank you" right away. Especially since I felt conflicted that I am still made to feel like I HAVE TO sign up right away. Kara then said, "you're welcome" before I had the chance to really say anything. Not surprisingly, she hung up without a word more when I insisted on needing time to think about it. I don't know I much I trust this place after this interaction. Perhaps she felt like I wasted her time, but I also didn't appreciate their business practice. $201/month - $212/month payment plan for 24 months is still a lot of money to be dishing out overtime. All I wanted is how much it would cost me if I had my hair removed via laser here versus other places. In my opinion, I'd recommend calling other places prior to giving this place a call. That way, you'd have a better idea of how much each location charges for their service.

    She burned & zapped my skin where there was NO TATTOO ink, there is no excuses for this. Nurse seems like a sadist!

    Ok so I'm going to complain about Nurse Karen who did my 13th tattoo removal session with Laser Away. Yes, 13th session and I never had this type of problem with any of the other nurses who I ever had. I think she had an intention to inflict pain on me the more I think back to our strange encounter & look at the photo the day after the laser removal. I put the numbing cream on myself, per usual, and wait 30 minutes for the numbing to kick in. Nurse Karen, calls me back takes off numbing cream, starts zapping away and WOW was this the worst pain I have ever felt any other session. I was feeling like it was pure torture & thinking maybe "wow they must be upping the level for me on my last session of the package." I hardly show any visual to Karen of how bad I'm in pain, and I literally laid there in silence until Karen starts asking me questions like "how is it going, it hurts more than usual huh" she kept asking like she really wanted to know. It was so weird more I think about it. I responded with "you know it actually does, this is the worst it's ever hurt" & she seemed oddly satisfied hearing that. Super weird to even state, I know. The whole encounter was not only painful, but it was WEIRD! Anyway, next day I check out the aftermath and see that she completely zapped me where I did NOT PUT ANY NUMBING CREAM because there was NO TATTOO! Why would she zap me on areas there was no tattoo ink ? To make matters even ridiculously worse, I raised this concern & complaint of mine with their Medallia Feedback "How Did We Do?" Bs and they never responded to me. With a background in business management and experience in using the Medallia tool, I know that someone saw my concern about Karen and completely dismissed and chose to not even address it. I will also add that even though I live closer to the Burlingame location, I was always told by nurses MANY TIMES that would admit to me that the San Carlos location has the stronger lasers so if I want to ensure that my tattoo gets removed quickly I should go to their location instead. LaserAway, please do better with keeping up your lasers at certain locations & check your nurses for sadistic behavior & respond to your negative Medallia feedback!

    You can clearly see the squares leaving parts of my face untreated

    As you see on the picture, they didn't do a good job on me, they left several untreated spots and this happened 3 times, you can clearly see the squares. I brought it up to the 800 # and they transferred me to the location i went to where then I spoke to the manager and a couple other girls and she said they would assess me at the end of my treatment and they didn't do anything about it. I paid almost $3k just to damage my skin - I tried several times requesting at least 1 free sesión and they refused. No one has done anything about it Also I used all their products and I would say don't use them as they will stain you face ! Here is another picture of my face of the after after which I think it's worse than when I came in. As far as service, I went to the Palo Alto for my last sesión and they seemed to care a bit more about my situation Other than that the place looked clean I think they should play different shows on tv while you wait in the room cause all they play is about food Would be nice to maybe watch some beauty stuff

What stood out to me from the beginning was the time Dr. G took to explain the process, discuss the options, and walk me through each step. I always felt informed and comfortable with the decisions we were making. Just as importantly, there is no high-pressure sales approach. Dr. G lets you do what you want, at your own pace, without pressure, while providing professional guidance along the way. The results are exactly what I was hoping for. I look refreshed and rejuvenated, but still completely like myself. The changes are subtle and natural.

    I cannot say enough fantastic things about this office, the staff, and their amazing work…read more I've been coming to Reema for 8 years and throughout that time, I've tried a number of effective treatments for my skin. I'm 42, so Reema and I have done Microneedling, Botox, Filler, Sculptra etc. I've done it all. Most recently, we did the cool peel which I had never done before. This has been one of my very favorite treatments yet - recommended by Reema to help with skin elasticity, tone, pores and just general brightening and glow (I'm sure there's more but I have no idea what they are - I just know my skin looked better than it has EVER looked). It was unbelievable how different (amazing) my skin looked about six days after we did the cool peel. Obviously, Reema is not just an amazing doctor - she's an ARTIST. She's able to look at every individual face and give amazing recommendations based on skin type, age, ethnicity etc. I trust her implicitly - she always makes recommendations with her patient in mind and every recommendation she has EVER made to me has been a slam-dunk. Not to mention, she's an absolute doll and the staff is so warm, welcoming and fun that sometimes I go to my appointment half an hour early just to hang out (I love you, Paul). True story. I live right around the block from the office, so there's plenty of places that provide some of the treatments that Reema does - I've actually branched out and tried a few at other offices and I can say with complete confidence that there isn't a clinician out there who knows how to manage skin the way Reema does. My wedding is in three weeks and there's not a single doctor I would let touch my face except for her, because she's absolutely exceptional. I will never go to another dermatologist so long as Reema is in town - I feel super blessed to have her so close.

    Reema Patel is easily the best dermatologist in the Bay Area. After struggling with the wrong…read morediagnosis for a year and working with two doctors, I decided to see Reema. She gave me an immediate diagnosis, but did the due diligence to get a biopsy and confirmation. Afterwards, she was very patient helping me work through my insurance to receive the best medication, rather than trying a bunch of different things that she knew would not likely work. It's been 9 months since I started my treatment and I've been extremely happy to see the rapid progress, care, and follow ups from Reema and her staff. Without a doubt, Reema is the person you want to see for any dermatology needs.

This dermatologist loves all aspects of dermatology and is serious about using it to improve the lives of people. One of our great regrets in moving was leaving this great dermatologist. A few months back, we emailed this dermatologist and asked whom he would recommend in the Bay Area. He replied - one person and one person only - Marie Jhin at Premier Aesthetic Dermatology in San Carlos. I booked some appointments and am thrilled with Dr. Jhin, the office, and my results. Dr. Jhin is a truly great dermatologist (in depth knowledge of all things dermatology, great clinical skills, great attention to the outcomes desired by each patient) with a great office - wonderful, highly skilled professionals, clean and comfortable facilities, and a very, very, wide range of treatment options. So, if you are looking for a good and competent dermatologist, you have many choices in the Bay Area. However, if you want to see a great dermatologist with a great dermatology office, there is only one option - Dr. Marie Jhin at Premier Aesthetic Dermatology.

Finally I contacted Groupon and got my money credited back to my account at Groupon. Reading the other reviews, I'm glad I did. The whole point of a business offering a Groupon is to get you to come in to try the services so you will return for full price next time- which I have done with other Groupon deals. I don't like to leave a bad review, but when a business does not even acknowledge you, and you have paid the rate they are asking (via Groupon) - that's the worst sort of customer service.

    This is a facial entirely about your skin - Reina does it right…read more What i mean is, this isn't about a massage while your masque is on and not about a full relaxation experience - its about a perfect facial to get your skin on the right page. I loved the heated bed and the time she took to remove my eye makeup, make me comfortable and cleanse my skin. I received 2 masques - oxygen and refining. No extractions in this custom facial but thats ok. The Masques tingled and seemed to work very well - my skin looked great after. It's nice touch to paraffin my hands during the first masque and give me a light relaxing neck rub during the second. I was totally comfortable and warm the whole time - her room is set up very well and not much time was wasted as she prepped her supplies each time (which happens many times at other places and before you know it your 60 min facial includes 15 minutes of drawers slamming and such). She was not pushy but made some recommendations on how to help my skin in the dry winter months - I appreciated her not selling me on all their products. I would definitely return and highly recommend it! * They also sell mineral make up here. Do Waxing. And have a slew of specialized skin services*
