I have been going to the Acne Spot since November 2023, and it's been the best decision that I have…read moremade for my skin. I have had acne off and on throughout my life, but my hormonal acne significantly flared up in the last few years. I decided to try something new, and I am so glad that I did!! Lan is such a delight! She is super knowledgeable and answers any questions or concerns that I have. She is so sweet and kind and I look forward to our appointments, as it is just like catching up with a friend! She is an amazing aesthetician, and I am sooo thankful to have her as my guide on my journey to improve my skin. I have seen significant improvement in the overall health of my skin since I have started my acne spot regimen and bi-weekly facials. My face no longer has deep and painful acne like it did when I started the program. My skin texture and appearance has also significantly improved and not only do I see the improvement but so have my friends and family. I am now not as self conscious of my face and that feeling is priceless. However, I must note that it is not an overnight fix. In order for there to be improvement, you must be willing to stay consistent with your skin routine!! It is an investment both time wise and financially, so you need to make sure that you are willing to put in the work to see results. It was very much a worthwhile investment for me. I am so glad that I did it!!!

Gary Valesky (sp?) was great but new woman is terrible. Spent less than 2 minutes looking at a spot of no consequence on my back and looked at my ear and a touch of nitrogen was administered. Billled $348 for office visit @$197 and additional $151 for skin surgery ($348) total to insurance with my portion being over $121. Called billing to dispute this on 9/15 and explain ridiculousness of the charge. NO EXPLANATION SINCE and same amount rebilled and received today 11/7. TERRIBLE and will not use ever again!

I was asked twice for the same insurance information, but after my visit, I received a bill for the full amount with no insurance coverage. Trying to follow up, I was sent in circles (the billing company they referred me to said they do not handle Encinitas West Dermatology billing), and I finally reached someone who said they would take care of it. Today I received a revised bill for my ten-minute office visit, for the $179 portion of the bill not covered by insurance. My one star rating of this operation was raised to two stars, as the actual provider, Gary Vanetsky was very nice and seemed competent.

Absolutely love Raiza at Avalon Laser! I went in for Dysport and was genuinely impressed by how…read moreprofessional, knowledgeable, and gentle she was throughout the entire process. 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.
