As a former New York resident, and someone who has lived in various cities exposed to the cosmetic…read moreindustry I assure you my standards for a Medical Spa are high. Essence Skin Clinic, under the ownership & direction of Jennifer Sanneman CLP, is an excellent resource in Midwest. They offer and exclusive and exhaustive list of skin care treatments that address each individual's concern to help you leave feeling your absolute best. Jennifer treated me like gold, giving me highly personalized service. I have had 3 major laser resurfacing treatments and could not be more happy with my results. Her eye for perfection and that standards by which she trains her staff are far superior to that of any staff in MN. The wide range of services they offer are cutting edge in technology. A poor review of this place would just mean that that person's issues go much deeper than a cosmetic visit. Unhappy people are hurting people that lash out at others. As far as I am concerned. This place is a little "slice of Heaven" in the midwest & Jennifer and her "angels" can help me out with my appearance anytime!!!!! ;)

As I've gotten older, I finally got to the stage where I wanted to get rid of my chest hair and…read moreabdominal hair. I've always been skeptical of laser hair removal, but I don't have any skepticism anymore. This place is literally amazing. Holly is my technician and she has done a fantastic job. Not only explaining how it all works, but taking her time throughout the whole process. If you really want to make an investment in yourself you need to go here. They run great deals all the time and as a student and it was completely affordable with the "pay per treatment" plan. Best customer service and I felt at home for something so out of my comfort zone.

I was very impressed with the service I received from Permanent Choice last Wednesday here in the…read moreMankato Office. I walked in not knowing what to expect and I walked out with a smile on my face and I knew that I had received a great treatment session. I was looking for another option in Laser Hair Removal. I had been doing treatments at another location here in Mankato and I just wasn't seeing the results and I was sick of hearing "well some clients see better results then others" when I questioned why I had received 11 painful treatments and I still had patches of hair coming through. The laser tech at Permanent Choice made me feel as comfortable (as comfortable as could be - it is not an fun treatment to have done) and listened to all the questions I had. I felt like instead of throwing me a line of excuses she actually answered my questions and concerns with knowledgeable responses. I'm looking forward to finishing my laser treatment with Permanent Choice. To be honest if I knew that they were in Mankato - I would have gone there a long time ago. I've learned that just because a MedSpa does the most adverting on the radio or around town, it doesn't make them the best at their treatments. I would recommend Permanent Choice hands down to anyone that is looking to have any Laser Hair Removal done. - Megan S.

The Refined Skin Medi-Spa is absolutely nothing short of terrible. This one sentence can sum up my…read moreentire experience but allow me to elaborate so you can truly understand why going here would be THEE worst investment and waste of time you could ever make. First, I called at 9:30am to make an appointment for a chemical peel, which is a service provided by a licensed Esthetician and thus, it does not require any sort of pre-qualification or doctor's attention; anyone can get it. I was then scheduled for my chemical peel later in the day. Upon arriving, I meet with Sarah (whom I presume is an Esthetician). She washed her hands, used no gloves, examined my face with her fingers and within seconds, told me she would NOT be giving me the chemical peel I asked for, since the $900 (and obviously, more expensive) laser treatment would be best. For the remainder of my visit with Sarah, she did NOTHING but try to sell me on the benefits of a $195 facial scrubbing product (similar to a giant, electric toothbrush). She could not have oversold this product if she tried any harder. Then, Dr. Kory Tuominen, MD arrived and within seconds - without reviewing any of the pictures that were taken of my face or my needs - immediately told me that the most expensive laser surgery was what I needed and that a chemical peel just wasn't going to work. How in the heck were these "professionals" making the most expensive decisions for me, without even so much as a glance at my face or consideration for the fact that I wasn't interested in laser surgery nor do I have the means with which to afford it? Then, Dr. Kory Tuominen, MD also tried to sell me on the same face scrubbing product that Sarah did. Once more, I sat through an entire sales pitch on how great the $195 face scrubbing product was and how, with the purchase of the product, I would receive a $95 credit towards any in-spa services I wanted. I cannot say this enough: The entire 45 minute ordeal was nothing short of a sales pitch that went too long. I might as well have showed up to a 90-minute time share rental presentation and got better results. So, we came up with three treatment options, with my preferred option (the least expensive option) being the third and last choice. I told Sarah I wanted to go with my treatment option (which again, was the chemical peels) and she told me I could but instead of paying $150 per peel, I had to pay $400 upfront for the services because it just "made it easier on the office staff and was more convenient for me." Really? How is doling out $400 more convenient for me when I've clearly told you that finances are a huge concern for me? I left so dissatisfied and angered, that I have filed complaints with all professional associations (including the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice) against Dr. Kory Tuominen, MD and his staff for their unethical, incompetent and shamelessly sales-oriented practice. Do not ever go here. You will absolutely be disgusted in every sense of the word

After feeling that my shoulders were super tight, she explained cupping and why it may be beneficial. And it was. She talked through every part of the process and I felt immediate results. She listened to all my needs and adjusted her treatment accordingly. Her work on my hips and glutes was nothing short of amazing. I would definitely consider a road trip back to Red Wing for another visit with Karin. My husband saw Mike and reports that he was very attentive to client requests and restrictions.
