Elevate by Ochsner is another branch of Ochsner, but they offer elective spa-like treatments instead of the standard medical care provided at the hospital. They offer services such as massages, facials, laser hair removal/skin treatments, Botox/Dysport, fillers, Cool Sculpting, etc. Although the Clearview location is inside the hospital complex, the vibes here are very spa-like and not at all clinical. It feels luxurious and elegant.
I've had a few treatments with their BBL laser hair removal here. I can't speak for the effectiveness because I did not continue with the treatments (you really need A LOT of treatments to permanently get rid of your hair in the pubic region of your body because the hairs there tend to be stubborn. You can get rid of a good amount with about 5-6 treatments for your underarms though). However, I can say that the laser here does not hurt all (given your settings are adjusted accurately). I highly recommend asking for Betsy to be your laser technician. She's FANTASTIC! She accurately assesses the right settings for you after considering a variety of factors, and she's just a pleasant person from whom to receive care overall! Compared to other laser treatments I've had, the BBL Laser here doesn't hurt, produce skin redness, nor leave you with that "sunburned" feeling where you get treated. Keep in mind though, experiences with lasers are different for everyone and this was just my experience.
I also get injected here a few times per year. The regular price per unit is $14 for Botox and $6 for Dysport, which is a bit pricier than other places, but they often have promotions where the prices drop (once a season maybe? Perhaps even more frequently?) and it becomes a better deal than even the cheaper places around. Plus, the injections are performed by actual doctors and not by estheticians. I recommend signing up for their emails to get notified about their specials.
I also really like their facial skin analysis instrument, called the Visia. This is a complimentary service, and it takes a very detailed photo of your face and it analyzes your skin for you. You can take a baseline photo and compare it to another photo you take after your treatments. Your skin condition is compared to other people of similar demographics/age as you. It can assess sun damage and more too. It's a very cool instrument, and you should take advantage of the technology!
