NOTING Aesthetically Pleasing about this place!!!…read more I had 3 BBL Laser treatments at this Med Spa performed by NP Sydney. My skin is rosacea prone so BBL when done correctly is very helpful. Unfortunately during the first treatment my face was burned and I ended up with deep purple bruises and blisters. I had to stay home for a week until the blisters subsided. My face became more red than before the treatment. I was told that the next two sessions would give me the expected results, but they did not. My face became very sensitive and the redness didn't go away. I noticed deeper broken capillaries in the areas where I was burned. When I expressed my concerns Sydney simply shook her head and said: "there is always a risk". My risk was in her hands. Her job was to assess my skin type, select the appropriate filters and correctly adjust the laser's energy setting, but she is either inexperienced or incapable. After contacting Sydney again I got a call from the owner, Stacy Grissen and she set up an appointment for me to come to see her the fallowing week.The day of the appointment Stacy called me and with an aggressive tone of voice informed me that she was cancelling our meeting, (BTW if I cancelled an appointment the same day they would charge a fee). She said that I snapped my fingers in front of Sydney's face, which is a complete lie... and btw why wait a week to cancel an appointment? I guess she decided to be offensive rather than being concerned that her employee did damage to my face.The way she treated me is inappropriate and dishonest. I am writing this to warn anyone who is thinking of using this business : go there at your own peril. There is no place for a business like this in our beautiful community of Encinitas.

She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely at ease. The results were exactly what I was hoping for super natural, smooth, and refreshed-looking without that "frozen" effect. Raiza really has a great eye and a light touch. You can tell she truly cares about achieving subtle, balanced results that enhance your features rather than overdo them. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who's not only skilled but also kind, attentive, and detail-oriented :)

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.

He is truly an expert injector, and my results just keep getting better with each visit. Not only has he preserved the volume in my face, but he's also helped me significantly with my melasma. The results look so natural, and I feel like I'm looking younger every time I leave the office! The office itself is beautiful and exudes a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, making every visit a pleasure. I always leave with a smile on my face! They took the time to help me map out a quarterly treatment plan tailored to my specific goals. Now that my main concerns have been addressed and corrected, I can simply come in for maintenance. The initial investment in my treatments has proven to be worth every penny. If you're searching for a provider who genuinely cares about their patients and excels in their craft, look no further than Som Aesthetics in Encinitas. Highly recommend!

I was just a little anxious and nervous. But everyone in the office made me feel very comfortable and calmed my nerves. Dr. Saami took time to listen and explain everything clearly to me. I got PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor), Allograft Adipose Matrix (AAM) under my eyes and lips, and dang I look GOOD! I truly felt well cared for and supported throughout the visit. It really was a positive and amazing experience and I appreciated how thoughtful and attentive the whole office was. If you're thinking to visit SOM, do it! Trust me, it's worth it.

Injector skill aside, the sales process felt like a bait-and-switch. It made me extremely…read moreuncomfortable to have them prioritize their sales quota over my care and my decisions over my body. Went in for the advertised $150 new-client half syringe lip filler special. Once in the chair, was steered away from it toward Restylane Kysse ($699), then toward a full syringe of Juvéderm (had to get a full syringe for a "discount" off full price). I was told the original filler included in the special was "firmer, denser, and less absorbable" and used elsewhere on the face, so it wouldn't be recommended for me but the ingredient info I've since looked up doesn't support that description for the products discussed. Throughout the appointment, the injector pushed additional products I hadn't asked about. Ended up with more product and a different filler than what I came in for and could confirm pricing on without any additional benefits. Get the specific product name and full pricing in writing before you sit in the chair.
