Laser burns that left permanent red marks after treatment by Julie
Stephanie S.

I was referred by my corrective skincare specialist as I had not done any cosmetic procedures in the East Bay and did not know who to go to. I made an appointment to have the small capillaries around my nostrils lasered. Julie was very nice and I did sign a consent form upon check in which is par for the course at any medspa. That being said, I asked her before she started lasering if there would be any recovery time or side effects from the laser. She said no there should not be any downtime or side effects. After answering my question she began the treatment which was moderately painful but nothing crazy. It looked like the capillaries were starting to fade and I left happy. Later that night I noticed dark red burn marks and scabs starting to form around both nostrils, some with liquid and flaking. I called the next day and Julie told me to keep it clean and dry and it should clear up within a week. It has now been almost a month and the red burn marks have mostly healed but now there are residual red marks from the laser burns on top of the capillaries that have actually returned. I understand that there is no guarantee against the capillaries coming back after a treatment, but to actually leave red burn scars on top of the area that now requires more cover up is not ok. I called to ask Julie about what my options are and if I could have a refund since she made the problem I was trying to correct worse, and she was unwilling to budge. If she had told me when I asked her prior to the treatment that there was a chance of burns/a month long healing period/ permanent red scars over the area, I would not have gone through with the treatment. Moral of the story, go to a licensed dermatologist to get laser treatments.

This is all the gunk from my skin! That's all oil and stuff stuck in my face floating there!

Julie does a great job. I always feel natural looking and appreciate her conservative approach.

Amazing! Quick and easy. Very comfortable, too. The building could use some work though.

I just have to give a HUGE shoutout to Miss Shelly at SkinSpirit!…read more I just got my lips done, and let me tell you, I am NO stranger to lip filler, but I have NEVER had someone nail the exact shape I've been wanting until now!! I'm already so in love with my results! Shelly truly listened to what I wanted, gave me her honest professional opinion, and never once made me feel pressured or pushed into anything. She took her time and gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for! Safe to say, I've officially found my forever injector! I will literally never let anyone else touch my lips again! 10/10 recommend!

I was so excited for my first facial experience here until I walked in unfortunately. I was…read moreexpecting a warm welcome but the receptionist that day didn't smile nor have a welcoming presence. I told her it was my first time getting a facial and she looked ready to go home. For my first diamond glow express facial, it was a nice introduction to facials. The esthetician was friendly and accommodating. The lady at checkout was way nicer and had excellent customer service. Not sure if I would return back.

Laser Away has been a great experience for laser hair removal. Their front desk staff as well as…read moretheir nurses are always so friendly and professional. They are always on time and my results have been great. They often run specials on different packages so pricing is really competitive. I highly recommend them!

I do like the staff here, but I am extremely disappointed how Laseraway handled my complaint that…read moretheir Thermage did little for me. This treatment is over 3K. And I was told when I was sold a package that it would tighten my neck. Six months later and little has improved on my face and neck. I understand if the treatment cannot address loose skin, but the salesperson should have never sold me the Thermage under false pretenses. I'm pissed because when I called to complain I was told I needed multiple sessions and I can't believe I was told this! At 3K a pop I am better off getting a facelift. Then they said they would take $1,400 off. Oh wow... I have been a loyal client of Laseraway and as an aesthetician I have referred many client here and family. I am not happy and will likely not be back after my Botox package is up. They push sales, and don't back results. I was basically told in the end that there was only so much they could do and that I needed plastic surgery. No problem, BUT I should have been warned before buying this treatment!

Had so far a a great experience with SEV. It was a little confusing using the Groupon because the…read morewordings to the area that was covered was not explained and when calling I received different answers. But it was ultimately ironed out.

I am extremely disappointed from this place . I have to say…read moreall the technicians are really nice, however, not all of them are doing good job. I bought a Groupon that combined Brazilian and under Arm, the first three sessions were just a waste of time because the technician finished in two minutes, they were not putting any effort to cover the whole areas, I learned it after receiving my my 3 last sessions when the 2 other technicians did a very good job After my six sessions were ended, I wanted to continue and I scheduled my seventh session. The front desk lady said it's going to cost me $104.. today when I came out the session they charged me$208 , when I asked why, they said it's $104 for each area. They neglected to inform me from the beginning that they charge for each area separately, and when I brought it up with the front desk lady, she said that Groupon does a different deals than what they offer on site, how ridiculous it is to say something like that when the Business is working with Groupon and decide which deals to do, apparently she didn't know what she was talking about, but she had the balls to argue with me, young lady sitting in the front desk being rude, and keep arguing about stuff that she has no idea about! I myself is a business owner and I know exactly how Groupon works . I will not be going to this place again I will not recommend it. They sell you a Groupon, but then they scam you. Beware!

Another yearly update for Dr. Zaka's practice…read more Dr. Zaka continues to be incredibly fast and efficient. My appointments are always seamless, and I love that I can routinely get in and out of the clinic within 15 minutes without ever feeling rushed. The biggest update this year is her adoption of AI-assisted workflows using the Aura 3D Imaging System. It is a massive step forward for the practice and a huge selling point. By utilizing this advanced technology, Dr. Zaka is shifting patient care from reactive treatments to highly precise, predictive, and preventative care. Having my treatments backed by this kind of sub-surface data gives me immense confidence in my long-term results. If you are looking for a forward-thinking, tech-forward medical aesthetician in Walnut Creek, I cannot recommend Dr. Zaka enough.

I don't know if Dr Zaka had a bad day when I saw her, but she had poor bedside manner during our…read moreconsultation. This was disappointing after having driven an hour to her office. She was cold, snappy, and a bit rude at times when I asked questions. For example, we were discussing Botox and she asked me to raise my eyebrows. I was struggling to do so on command, which happens. Instead of guiding me, she said right off the bat in an agitated tone "I don't know why you're not raising them. Maybe you're shy." This is not how you talk to patients, especially when they are already putting themselves in a vulnerable setting like a medical aesthetics office. This was just one of several things that rubbed me the wrong way. It's a shame, because I heard good things about her work. I may have been interested in working with her, if it were not for her off-putting nature during our consult. Instead, it was an immediate no for me after I left her office. Giving two stars because she at least gave some helpful info about potential treatments and pricing. But her bedside manner needs work.
