My advice is to temper your expectations. Getting tattoo removal requires multiple session over…read moreyears. While each session was quick the tattoo slowly fades each time and the healing process sucks. The last few times I got ugly blisters. You have to wait about 2-3 months for the tattoo to heal to get lasered again. I started going in March 2023 to remove a regrettable tattoo I got about 9 years ago. Took 2 years and 8 sessions for the tattoo to be light enough to be covered up. Dr. Tien was great. Every session was quick in and out.

I went to get a quote for removing my eyeliner and eyebrow tattoos. The consultation was…read moreuncomfortable; I felt belittled. It was very unprofessional for them to make me wait 30 minutes past my appointment time, and the person kept answering personal phone calls during our meeting. The quote they gave me was expensive, charging per side per session, with no guarantee on how many sessions it would take for complete removal. Another client told me in the parking lot she was on her sixth session with no results. After months of searching and wasting money at another med spa (avoid Kim's 3D in Anaheim btw), I finally found a reliable place for tattoo removal that works without costing a fortune. Look up Enclave. She's a life saver! In short, do your research and believe the negative reviews; they're there for a reason.

DO NOT COME HERE FOR LIP FILLER!!! Ive previously had lip…read morefiller treatments done before at Liquid Beauty HB (last one done 4 years ago) but wanted to give Laser Away a try. Before beginning, Joey confirmed she didn't feel any leftover filler in my lips. I began to feel hesitant seeing how long the procedure was taking just to do 1 syringe of Juvederm XC filler. It took around 45 minutes before we ran into issues. Joey mentioned there was a lump of new filler on my top lip that she should be able to message out. This was very painful. She then became nervous and asked "Did you feel a burst or something? And I said what? Then she responded by saying that she was "just going to message the PA on the SLACK app really quick". I had no idea what was happening! She then left the room and returned saying she has a remote PA on video chat that needs to check if I got a Vascular Occlusion caused by the filler injection! When I looked in the mirror I panicked! They took SEVERAL videos and I spoke with the PA virtually who stated "in their observation that it may just be a very VERY bad HEMATOMA! But if it was a Vascular Occulusion and circulation was not being provided to areas of my lips, I would have to go to Urgent care because it would be considered "a medical emergency!" Nurse Joey suggested that I can have the filler dissolved immediately which would lower my chances of complications and I agreed to just dissolve it, HOWEVER the PA on video chat advised that we "give it some time as there has already been A LOT OF TRAUMA caused to my lips". I was very scared! I then stated that I wanted a refund! Joey advised that I speak with the front desk. The front desk said they would reach out to Tashina in regards to a refund. I also asked to schedule an appointment the next day to have someone check out my injured lips, praying that it wasnt a Vascular Occlusion. The next day 3/21/26, I was examined by Nurse Angie who's manner showed that she was more experienced. She was kind and attentive and was the 1ST person at Laser Away to apologize for my experience. She then took videos and stepped out. She then returned with another staff member who held her phone to take video while she lifted up my lip and massaged it to feel for any lumps, along with constantly pressing on my lip for 3 seconds at a time to show that my lips returned back to normal color after being pressed. The messaging and compressions were painful. Then they both left. THEN they came back a 2nd time to take ANOTHER video. I began to panic again. Angie noticed I was so nervous and said, we are just taking this 2nd video because the PA on SLACK needed better lighting. When they returned a 3RD time, they stated the remote PA (different than the one on the previous day) thought it was a bad hematoma and to take Arnica tablets and/or cream and to apply a warm compress every hour. But to make sure to look for any areas of gray or any intense pain or tingling. Then I was sent on my way. Still very scared and concerned. It has now been a week and I still have bruising on my lips AND upper lip! It is unacceptable to have these huge hematomas from mishandling of my lips! Some bruising is expected, but NOT FULL ON HEMATOMAS!!! Before leaving, I requested for the manager to call me so that I could speak about my experience. I had to called Laser Away on Monday 3/23 to check if my correct contact info was provided because I was never contacted. I was then finally contacted by Lynette the Regional Manager. She was pleasant on the phone and stated that she was sorry that my 1st experience at Laser Away was not as expected and mentioned that she would make sure Joey received additional training in areas that needed improvement. She offered a free Hydrafacial but honestly I am extremely traumatized being there. It is very unfortunate because I wanted to give LaserAway a chance and even talked my husband into booking a Botox appointment that weekend with LaserAway but this whole nightmare experience scared him away enough to cancel. Lynette said she would refund my husband's payment and 5 days later, still NO REFUND received! Lynette also stated that despite my whole experience, I COULD NOT get a refund as the services were already rendered, even though I had asked for a REFUND IMMEDIATELY at my 1ST appointment when i was LITERALLY IN THE ROOM! It has been a week now and I have been taking Arnica cream and tablets and been applying warm cloths periodically. I feel so self conscious about all the bruising that I have to cover it up with lipstick and foundation. Worried that ppl may think im getting physically abused when in reality this was all caused by Laser Away. Not to mention the money I had to spend on Arnica tablets and cream!!! It is very scary that they do not have Physician Assistants on site to assess situations like this!!! If there was, then I would feel safer knowing whether or not I should go to the emergency room for a Vascular Occlusion!

I visited Phi MD Aesthetics on 11/22/2025 for my first Pico laser treatment, and now that it's been…read morealmost a month, I wanted to share an honest review based on my experience. I've included before-and-after photos for reference. I chose this practice based on strong reviews and because the doctor stated I could expect 50-60% improvement after the very first session. At almost 30 years old, I found it concerning that such a guarantee was made -- especially since it ultimately did not happen. After spending over $1,000, I've seen very minimal improvement. As shown in the photos, my hyperpigmentation remains, my skin texture has not meaningfully improved, and scarring is still visible. Any brightness I do see does not feel like it's from the laser itself, but rather from the brightening serum provided afterward, which makes the results feel even less attributable to the treatment. While Julia, the nurse, was kind and helpful, my experience with the doctor felt impersonal. The practice operates like a high-end, high-volume machine, where treatments are pushed out efficiently rather than thoughtfully customized. Given the pricing, it felt more transactional than patient-focused. Overall, I would not recommend this practice unless you have significant disposable cash to put toward a package deal and are comfortable with results that may not align with what is promised. I truly wanted to love this place, but based on my experience and results, the value did not match the expectations that were set.

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.
