    What a facial! Ok HYDRAFACIALS are all the rage and now I get why! Amy did my hydra facial and it felt sooo good, revitalizing, refreshing and wonderful! I have never had a facial in my life let alone a hydra facial and this really got me excited to do it again in the future! This place is adorable. Clean, cozy, very cute with all of the paintings on the walls. Sand hill crane paintings while you get a facial and / or multiple treatments on the worlds most comfy bed. I loved this experience. It felt luxurious, relaxing and much needed! They have a Groupon right now for the hydra facial and I am so glad I found it! Free underground parking (they're located on the 2nd floor) The whole place smells super clean with hints of eucalyptus. I loved this experience a lot. Amy was professional, skilled, sweet and patient. She knew what she was doing to give me the best first experience ever! 5 stars for Dr. Refresh!!! I didn't get to meet her but I'm sure she's cool too.

    i had the AMAZING experience of my first time lip filler with RN Arsema and PA Kiana! Everyone I met in the office was so kind and genuine as well though. they were patient with my questions, and guided me through being a first timer but with the balance of not pushing me to anything i wouldn't want! I will definitely be coming back but for many more different services next time. i had a 1 on the pain scale, the numbing was perfect and i only had very light bruising, (see pic), and even after numbness wore off i had little to no discomfort! so impressed with them!!

    Beware: This is why they have so many "good" reviews. They pay for them!

    I wasn't going to post but since the owner Chris COMPROMISED my personal information to text me about a bad review that wasn't even mine (bullying behavior), I'll share my experience after all: Nadine at the front was confrontational and rude from the start, refused to let me decline the arbitration waiver (RED FLAG). I explained I've never had to accept it at ANY doctors or med spa or IV clinic and I go monthly. She rolled her eyes and said "well for us it's a requirement". I again said I was pretty sure legally I didn't have to. She then told me I could just leave. Then she said "It's not like we're FORCING you." Actually.. she was. She then said she wouldn't treat me if I didn't sign. Then the fake doctor on FaceTime (??) rudely mocked me for wearing a Covid mask as soon as the camera went on."Do you feel UNSAFE??" She forced me to take it off. I had to explain I was doing it as a courtesy for THEM. My partner's office had an outbreak. I tested negative but hey.. I'm a decent human. Sorry. The nurse was the ONLY super sweet and kind person there. But she couldn't find my vein and poked and readjusted it 5x INSIDE MY ARM. Mind you I have huge veins you can't miss. I was genuinely concerned for my safety. No wonder they try to force you to sign arbitration. RUN.

You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in the level of care she provides.

I decided to try their injectables rather than continue with my Beverly Hills injector- I hadn't been going to her long enough to really be committed. We all love a one stop shop right? Sunday morning I was like... let me go back to work after this holiday looking *ahem* rested and refreshed (wink wink). Sad to say I am a spur of the moment kind of lady so when I reached out to Cienega Medical for a last minute time slot (as I always do) they didn't have anything available for me in SM buuuuut they could fit me in at the WEHO location in about an hour and a half. Sweet! I made my way over and you know how holiday traffic is in LA ~ a total breeze ~ so I arrived way earlier than I thought I would. They were happy to fit me in for an express facial as well! Winning! They were welcoming and pleasant- unlike the week or two wait I was getting used to at my BH clinic and the exasperation they'd give me when I wanted to add a spur of the moment service. (Girl if you don't take this money and fire up these stray chin hairs, come on... I booked a Brazilian how much worse can the chin be? dang) Anyway... My facial with Nicole was lovely and she was careful of my lash extensions but injectables is what we're here to talk about right? Its hard to mess up a facial but needles? Girrrrl I wanna talk about it first. Yasmin was knowledgeable and personable and not only listened to, but clarified my statements about my concerns. She made some recommendations regarding some areas I had been concerned about but I didn't even know there were treatment options for. Sold, ok? The price came back and I was a little shell shocked but hey- I was literally getting double what I had planned for so its not like it was unreasonable. The process was as quick and about as painless/painful as you'd expect injections to be. I'm only two days out but I already see the results coming. All that sounds great right? Well here is the magic of Cienega Medical: Im currently sitting at work bored because we're in the upside down week before the New Year so I was browsing their website and a special caught my eye... A special I was not offered when I was there two days earlier. Now I'm rarely one to complain or haggle on pricing but I was like- wait a minute. Why didn't anybody tell me about that when I was lubricating my credit card with tears? So I bit the bullet and called them to ask why. Honey... their Manager Brittany was like, OH I'm glad you called - that package just started like yesterday! I'll credit your account and you'll get the difference next time you come in, plus I'll throw in a lil extra sumthin sumthin for the trouble. Um ~ What? She was so sweet and forthcoming that I didn't even want the difference back- I had her throw it onto the tip I had left for Yasmin. (I know it was paltry - I'm sorry baby) The whole point of my call was really an exercise in taking my therapist's advice and addressing difficult conversations before they fester into real conflict or repressing my hurt feelings. Nobody wants to feel hoodwinked or taken advantage of and I must say that Cienega Medical Spa is far and above the best MedSpa I have experienced in LA and as a woman pushing 50 who prides herself on looking unquestionably 35 - these ladies are now officially my secret weapon. Special thank you to Nicole, Yasmin and Brittany for making me feel like a person and not just another pain that's paying. I'll be looking forward to seeing you all again! Thank you! This will be a Happy, Healthy New Year Indeed! #35 ~ 4 ~EVA

After reading about morpheus8 and seeing before & after pictures, I was still a little skeptical as to whether or not I'd see results. But, I'm 39 years old and although (I think) I've taken good care of myself, signs of age and time are simply inevitable. The entire team at SEV Laser was welcoming. Not to mention that the facility itself is gorgeous. The morpheus8 treatment was relatively painless. Afterwards, my face was a little swollen & red for a few hours (totally normal and expected) and the aftercare instructions were easy and simple to follow. Now, the results: My best friend that had no idea I'd had morpheus8 done immediately commented the following day how much my skin was glowing. Within a few days, I began to see it for myself. My skin looks and feels sooo, so smooth. It's really incredible what it's done for reducing the size of my pores. I also have a little frown wrinkle on my forehead that is noticeably less visible, even just 2 weeks post treatment. I'm so thoroughly impressed and super grateful to everyone at SEV Laser. You'll definitely be seeing me again soon.

So when I have wanted to book with a good nurse again, I have often been told the nurse is no longer with their office. The revolving door of managers, nurses, and receptionists do not help their poor management of client records. I participated in a few of their in-store seasonal promos and the front desk staff here verbally confirmed that they had added to my account with 2 complimentary facials for my participation, and that I would be good to use them at any time as per their overall highly-visible and marketed "no expiration" company policy. The staff never gave me any receipt nor written terms, nor did I know to ask since I greenly assumed they would be trustworthy and would have no reason to lie or shortchange me. Which then led LaserAway to deny me the facials rather than take accountability for their poor management and lack of training of staff who apparently were supposed to have responded differently by providing a receipt to me. When I tried to clear up the matter with the West Hollywood office where the staff I had fulfilled the promo deal with were based, none of the (all-new) staff were knowledgeable or helpful to figure out what their predecessors had supposedly done for my account. This experience has only shown me that their promos or offers are not legitamitely worth participating in since it is near impossible to redeem and they cannot be accountable to their word.

She sounded super professional and knowledgeable on talking about their machines etc. Then on first session I got upSold on facIAL microneedling. I have had microneedling TWICE up the street at plastic surgeon dr Gary Motkyie office. They were more expensive by $150 and dr laser offered Prp so I figured give it a shot. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THEN TO LEAVE MY FACE IN THR HANDS OF A MED SPA. Ive never had a worse recovery from facial microneedling. Filler in upper cheek got dissolved and migrated down so I now have chipmunk cheeks, the practicioner Lexi was super aggressive and did my under eye. ---neither of the other two times did they touch my underye---and I now have dark marks like ive been punched in the face there. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. I also had been upsold for body microneedling and pre paid $825 and have been emailing with a manager named Kacie who has played phone tag, is never at the phone, im constantly told to email her. My first email went out Dec 19 requested a refund for this as they destroyed my face I dont want them touching my body. And it is now Jan 9 and still no resolution. They are ignoring, not responding. Absolute disgrace and embarrassment to the beauty and esthetics industry. This place is a chain and a total chop shop. They have my prepaid full amount of $1200 for laser hair removal and 2 sessions done in a faulty machine. And now $825 prepaid in body mivroneesling that I cant get a refund for because no one will respond. And I have the damage control to deal with on my face. Re laser hair removal: I have 2 laser hair removal sessions on leg and bikini. The first nurse was a sweetheart. I wish I remembered her name. However the machine was faulty. Kept glitching (turning off mid session, she kept having to turn it back on and re calibrate). That said I "felt" it. The slight rubber band snap. The second session I had Lexi ---the same practicioner that did facial.microneedling with zero bedside manner----who when I told her I felt literally nothing--dismissed me saying "I upped your levels maybe its the cooling". I responded rhe first girl also used cooling and im concerned this isn't going to work in number of sessions you all sold me. Dorothy swore the 8 should be enough. Separate issue but my hair re growth is as faat and furious as it was before the two sessions. Go elsewhere

Over the years, I kept going back, and unfortunately, this place is as bad as it gets. It's a revolving door of staff, you'll almost never see the same practitioner twice. The treatments/settings they do are never consistent as they all have different opinions on which setting you should be at. But what is the worst of all is that they are incapable of properly overlapping the laser so that the entire area is treated. 90% of the time I would need to go back a week later because there would be so many crescent moon shaped patches of hair they missed. The final straw was when I went in for front of neck. I thought maybe I finally want to try this. I regret doing this at Dr. Laser so much. The image I attached is a week after the first session. I think it speaks for itself, but when I went to follow up about it they gave me the same spiel they always do "your hair is in different phases of its growth cycle, this is normal." I really hate giving a company a negative review, but I truly believe its important that this place not be in business.

I then sat around in the waiting room while Giau said she would look into it, only to then be told after waiting another half-hour that I wouldn't be able to be seen or have my issue looked into. Rather than take responsibility for their disorganization and unknowledeable personnel, they just point the finger from one employee to the next and send the client on a wild goose chase with no end. The manager TK claimed he would help me with my account and had scheduled me for that appointment, but later was evasive and refused to help get to the bottom of their errors, saying I would get a call back later in the day, but never calling back, then saying Giau was working on my case and would contact me that afternoon (that never happened). I was told other times by staff that Giau would call me right back the same day or the next day, only to find out later that she was on vacation for the whole week; how is it that their staff does not know when each other is on leave!? Turns out after much back and forth that they had to admit to having erroneously closed my account and had proof in their system the entire time that I had multiple services remaining, but instead of owning up to the gross error, tried to put the blame on me for not having finished the package sooner despite their "no expiration" policy. Seems the policy is just a false promise and ruse to get one to buy more, for since then I have read similar reports from other clients of their accounts being closed and being denied prepaid services because of errors committed by LaserAway.

I also want to give a shout-out to the amazing laser staff -- Anissa, Lisa, Mel, and Ramak!! Everyone there is friendly and welcoming , always greeting me with cheerful hellos and saying goodbye with dance movies. Between the beautiful facility and Vivian's expert hands, Prolase continues to impress. Highly recommend the Glendale location!
