I went in for a Sculptra procedure with Vanessa Moreno at the Redondo Beach location, and I…read morespecifically requested treatment only in my jaw area. After the first jaw injection, the nurse recommended also injecting my mid-face, even though I did not feel that area needed treatment. I agreed because I trusted her professional judgment. During the mid-face injection, she used a needle rather than a cannula and injected from beneath my nose toward the outer part of my right eye. As soon as the injection happened, I felt a sudden zinging sensation shoot toward my eye. I briefly lost vision and felt as though something had entered my eye. Even after I reported these symptoms she dismissed them as "just the lidocaine" and continued the procedure. I believe the procedure was performed unsafely because product was placed in an area I had not originally requested, the injector appeared rushed, a needle was used in a high-risk anatomical area, the injection path was dangerous, and the procedure continued despite my immediate alarming symptoms. Multiple doctors I later consulted told me that safer technique should have been used in that area, including more careful avoidance of the infraorbital foramen and zygomaticofacial nerve possibly using a cannula instead of a needle, and injecting ( like almost all sculptra injectors do) from the outside towards the inside. The day after the procedure, I woke up in excruciating pain with severe mid-face pain, vertigo, a prolonged headache, neurological-type symptoms, and difficulty thinking and speaking. That lasted for 6 weeks. Over time, I also developed ongoing trigeminal-neuralgia-type pain, chronic dry eye with reduced tear production in the eye above the injury, and continued visual disturbance. Prednisone and gabapentin were the only treatments that helped manage the pain and inflammation. I also believe the facility failed to respond appropriately afterward. When I first reported my symptoms, I was only told to take an antihistamine and rub the area, and the nurse did not meaningfully respond despite my repeated outreach. Although the medical director later ordered MRIs, I was not compensated for them, I was not referred to a neurologist or other appropriate specialist, and I felt my symptoms were minimized. Overall, I believe both the procedure and the follow-up care were handled improperly, resulting in severe pain, ongoing neurological symptoms, emotional distress, lost work, and substantial out-of-pocket medical costs. I do not think anyone should be getting PLLA in their face without fully understanding the risks. But if someone does choose to get it, they should go to a doctor who truly understands facial anatomy and the anatomical danger zones, even if it costs more. I bought Sculptra on sale at DermFx and saved a few hundred dollars. Now I owe thousands in medical bills from the injury. If I had gone to someone who knew the anatomical danger zones, years of my life may not have been taken. Please, if anyone knows any professional I can talk to about this, please reach out to me.

They do it differently here than most waxing spots. When I walked into the room they have a gentle cleansing wipe for you to clean up and then they give you time to get settled in. I love their low-light ambient in the waxing rooms, their non-crinkly paper, and their non-toxic waxes. The whole experience was eventful. Natasha made it pain free and breezy. They use hard wax here for Brazilians so it allows a more seamless removal than soft wax. I definitely feel silky smooth! They also have a great line of products at the salon. I picked up the serum with chemical exfoliate to help prevent ingrown hairs. When you leave they give you a nice exfoliating glove as well which is a nice extra touch!

Mariana made me feel completely comfortable, and we talked the whole time which made it go by so fast. She's incredibly knowledgeable and answered all my questions about other services at LaserAway, including lip filler and Botox. I really appreciated how informative she was without being pushy. You can tell she's experienced and confident in what she does. She's also the lead nurse, and she even offered to personally follow up for me regarding a concern I had from a prior appointment. That level of care really stood out to me. I would definitely recommend Mariana -- she made the whole experience smooth, easy, and enjoyable.

My ink is all black, my tattoo was about 10 years old, and I have light skin tone. All these factors, I was told, make me the ideal candidate for full removal and I should see "amazing results". Three years later and I have had the worst experience with this company, their miscommunication about the process and length of time needed between sessions, along with the constant staff turnover and mishandling of appointments. Expect appointments to be regularly cancelled or reschedule at the last minute. Manager will offer no assistance in extending treatment for desired result, the again want you to continue to give them thousands for unknown number of treatments. They are constantly trying to sell you new treatments when at your appointment, during scheduling, or just trying to get assistance. It's a full money grab so they can see how much they can get out of you, it's pathetic. Rather then treating you for your current procedures and concerns it's all about what they can get you to sign up for next. I've heard great things from patients who choose Removery and they see the results that LaserAway can not provide. I wish I knew about them sooner! Stay away!

Based on her encouragement, I even had the procedure done a second time. Throughout the experience, Sarah was extremely pushy and sales-focused -- more like a used car salesperson than a skincare professional.

Melissa and Cynthia are truly exceptional providers!!! Thank you for helping correct my skin! I've never felt so confident without wearing makeup!! (: From the moment I walked in, the clinic felt clean, modern, and very professionally run. The front desk team (special shout out to Emily & Tima!) was warm, organized, and respectful of my time -- check-in was seamless and I never felt rushed or overlooked. You can tell they value patient experience just as much as clinical outcomes. The consultation was incredibly thorough. They took time to evaluate my skin, explain the technology being used, discuss realistic expectations, and review pre- and post-care in detail. I really appreciated that nothing felt "salesy." Instead, the focus was clearly on safety, education, and choosing the right treatment for my skin and goals. During my treatment, Cynthia was extremely skilled and attentive. She checked in frequently about comfort level, explained every step of the procedure, and confidence. I felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. Melissa also thoroughly took the time to build out my skin care routine and educate me on the importance of post care. Most importantly -- the results. I am genuinely thrilled. I noticed improvement sooner than expected, and my skin looks smoother, clearer, and more refreshed. The outcome looks natural and healthy, not overdone, which was very important to me. I would absolutely return for future treatments and already started recommending to friends and family. I highly recommend Neoderma if anyone is looking for results-driven, ethical care!!!

I went in for a consultation, and the PA Johanna told me that my mole and brown spots could be…read moretreated with PicoWay laser treatments. She estimated I would need about 4-6 sessions. She also recommended using a melanin inhibitor beforehand because it would make the laser treatments more effective. I asked whether the products were vegan and cruelty-free. She said she'd go ask, but she came back without an answer. Before leaving, I scheduled my first PicoWay treatment for the following week. When I returned for the appointment, I saw a different PA, Sheri, who gave me different information. She told me the brown spots on my leg actually could not be treated with the laser after all, and that I would likely need 6-12 treatments rather than 4-6. She also did not know whether the recommended products were vegan and cruelty-free. Additionally, she explained that I was supposed to use the products for several weeks before beginning laser treatments -- something I had not been told during the original consultation. The first PA had mentioned the products, but never explained that pre-treatment use was required before starting the laser. Sheri contacted the product representative to ask about the vegan status of the products, but the rep was unsure and could not provide any timeline for getting an answer. At that point, I left without receiving treatment. Both PAs were friendly and professional, but I was frustrated by the lack of consistency and communication. I would have appreciated someone following up about whether the products were vegan before I came in expecting to begin treatment. Instead, I wasted time coming to an appointment that ultimately could not proceed. It also concerned me that the providers were not on the same page regarding what could actually be treated or how many sessions would realistically be required. It has now been about a month since that appointment, and nobody ever followed up regarding whether the products were vegan, despite assuring me that they would. I ultimately went to a dermatologist, who explained that the mole and brown spots should not be treated with laser in the first place. She excised the mole for less than the estimated cost of four laser sessions. Based on my experience, I would recommend seeing a dermatologist for concerns like these, since they are medical skin specialists.
