The clinic is spotless, modern, and very well organized. My provider was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process, answer all my questions, and make sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The treatment itself was quick, effective, and much easier than I expected. What really stood out was how attentive and friendly everyone was--no rushing, no pressure, just great care and great results. I'm already seeing improvements and couldn't be happier. Highly recommend LaserAway Carlsbad if you're considering laser treatments or aesthetic services. I'll definitely be back!

i would never normally complain like this but since day 1 of being a customer at the Carlsbad…read morelocation ive been extremely unhappy and have spent thousands of wasted dollars here... 1 don't even go here but 2 if you do, make sure you negotiate before because they completely rip you off.. they actually have multiple class action lawsuits against them for this exact reason. I apparently got "70% off" and still paid 3600$ for 8 sessions for under arm, brazilian and lower legs and was told if i hung up the phone i wouldn't get that same offer again, meanwhile my friend called a few days later and got all of that for 2500$ plus a 2 free facials and she still even felt ripped off.. she said they did the facials with her make up still on and was out in 5 minutes. so obviously it started off with my whole sales pitch, she was very snotty, i felt rushed and couldn't even ask questions without her making me feel dumb and i was clearly completely lied to as well. secondly, when i explained to one of the receptionist that i was upset by this, she pulled up my friends account and told me private information about her file which is a HIPAA violation and made me very uncomfortable with how they handle private information and my friend was extremely mad about this as well. and AGAIN i was lied too.. the receptionist told me she got money off because she had "points" which was untrue because my friend even told me that's not why she did. plus even for myself, i was told was that after 1 year your "points" expire (mind you, you have no access yourself to these points, they just make it up behind their computer screen) yet when i called to make my last appointment because i had 1 more session left i was told "oh! you have hundreds of dollars in your account right now" trying to get me to buy more... but it was over a year? weren't they supposed to expire? third, the worst part is that the services alone have been horrible. the nurses more than half of the sessions never even chalked my areas leaving my results uneven and spotty. i even asked 3 times to the ladies in the front to please make sure they chalk me and do a quality job and it still continued to not happen. another lie i was told was that "shaving promotes hair growth" i'm a hairstylist that is completely untrue, again just showing how untrained these nurses are. my second to last appointment the nurse didnt even finish doing my whole bottom of armpit and then my brazilian she went so fast and missed like every other spot and just completely just missed my bikini line. i timed my appointment and i was out in 7 minutes, clearly they are not doing an efficient job in that time matter. if at least the services/results were good i would be able to let this go but the fact that i've been highly ripped off, treated rudely, lied to, crossed HIPAA violation and im still having to go somewhere else for more sessions cause they failed to do it correctly i feel like this is necessary.. i recommend Proof Aesthetics in the village of carlsbad or even driving to La jolla at SEV is worth it then coming here... they give you the prices up front and are honest.

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.

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.

Unprofessional. And rude. I had seen Fara for over a year and several times she would cancel on me…read more You can often expect a cancellation. I started keeping a cancellation list in my phone because of this. It's well over 15 in the last year alone. You can often also expect to wait 15-20 minutes on a good day just for her to get started. There were several times I would sit there waiting for my appointment to start. Several times she would stop working on me and text other clients to cancel them because she was so behind with me that she had to make up a lie to cancel the next poor client. She told me several times that I was "too big. And needed to lose weight." She also would tell me stories about other clients and her paranoia about someone trying to steal her job is next level. She is so paranoid about other electrolysis providers paying people to "study her work" and steal her job. She's sent me emails outside of work randomly being paranoid that I would report her to Kaiser. She also has gotten so unprofessional with me over texting and told me she sent me to LA for a hair check with my surgeons just for me to "get a reality check." Do yourself a favor and don't go With Fara.

Not a sorry no time, nothing. Saw Essential Spa but obviously wanted to stick where I was comfortable if I could over something new. MAN AM I GLAD THAT DIDNT HAPPEN! Missed all the open spots with Steffanie but decided to reach out and ask just in case, all else fails I shave. To my happy surprise, she replied same day and said she could get me in the next day! Woohoo! At first it's like where am I going, because the spa is in her casita but it's beautiful and totally not weird. I was immediately comfortable with Steffanie. She's super hygienic, changing gloves and sugar constantly. And she gave me a little bag of post sugar care products to take on vacation. It's now been like 2 weeks and I just have some random hairs that have grown back. Unfortunately for my previous person, I won't be back because Steffanie has shown me how it could be elsewhere! I don't get sugared regularly, usually just vacations etc but am going to try and change that at least for summer next year.
