Just so all of the men are aware, it's a shared space with Dr. Lantry's OB-GYN clinic, so be…read moreprepared to see mostly women sitting in the waiting room.
But, that's more reason to use this place for your skincare (and other) concerns! It's a really low stress environment. There's not any music, there's no cocktail to be had, no fragrance in the air. It's very to-the-point, and I wouldn't change it. If you're looking for something straight forward and not distracting to take care of things that feel a bit...extraneous...this is the place.
The best part, though, are the people you deal with. I usually go on Thursdays and Fridays when Dana and Kelsey work. These two women are professional nurses, so it's not as though you're going to get Botoxed in the back room of a hair salon (I don't know if that's what really happens, but I feel so comfortable with these two). For example, I wanted fillers under my eyes, but the hollows weren't so bad that I needed the full flexible syringe and all of that, but I needed more targeted tiny injections. It was a bit more...pokey...but wow I trusted Dana to do it. The results have been great, and over a year later, I'm still happy. I've been under lasers with both Dana and Kelsey, and I've had more Dysport and Botox than I will admit. Kelsey is always ready for such great laughs while she's injecting Dysport into my forehead - last time I went, I didn't even realize she was done (she was probably using my laughing as a marker for where to put the stuff!).
Now, honestly, the real highlight of the whole thing comes from Helen who is the primary customer-facing person for this part of Dr. Lantry's business. When you're a regular and you come in, usually the person at the front desk will be like "You're here for Helen, right?" You say "Yes," she rings a bell, and a few minutes later Helen calls you back. Helen has made so many things that feel so embarrassing and silly feel so comfortable. When I had concerns over how my eyes looked, Helen never stopped for a second to say "Oh you look great!" She looks at me and makes an evaluation and recommends a product. It never feels critical, it never feels like she's selling. She creates an atmosphere of a good friend that just wants to chat about how you can feel better about yourself. And Helen really really really makes you feel good about yourself. She knows her products and she knows the body, and she knows how these things work together.
Helen not only talks you through what to expect, but she comes into the room with you. As the needles get closer to your face, she'll keep chatting about all kinds of stuff, give you some gentle taps on the ankle to distract you while Dana or Kelsey (or someone else) is working, and although you can't erase the discomfort, you never stop feeling safe and cared for.
I've been so comfortable coming here for years. Ultimately, we all know that this stuff is superfluous and is a luxury item that none of us need. But Helen never, ever, makes it feel ridiculous and is always around to listen to some of your deepest insecurities. She's never judging and always wants to help with some incredibly skilled coworkers. I know it can seem ridiculous to call someone a "friend" who is doing her job, but she does it with such respect and genuine care, it's hard not to feel that way. And with the things I've talked about with Helen, I feel coming to Dr. Lantry's office for these cosmetic procedures is always the right choice.
I'd recommend Lantry Laser over and over, and I have. If you want to get some things off your chest about how you look, get some serious recommendations and some friends that will listen, this is the place to go.
