I let Valerie do whatever treatment she sees I need!
Consuelo J.

Every time I visit Valerie, I get nonstop compliments on how healthy my skin looks. I'm super happy to see how much her business is thriving and all the services she offers. I'm a customer for life. The vibe is clean, comfy and inviting. I love coming in and sipping on that delicious lemon-infused water. I make sure to follow the skin regimen she gives me. This is coming from someone who coasted on her genetics and was horrible at skincare until Father Time started coming after me . Thanks to Valerie, I appreciate being consistent with my skincare and using high quality products. I let her do her magic and I'm never disappointed.

Olga is amazing with the lash lift. She took the time to explain what was going to happen and the variable results. I am so pleased with how they turned out! I had lash extensions for 2 years that weakened my lashes. I've been using grande lash but my lashes are so straight. Even curling them doesn't produce the desired effect. I read about the lash lift and went for it. Olga produced amazing results. I will definitely be seeking her out again. Hope this lasts 2 months!

How much is the LED light treatment?

For the lash lift how much is it?

the price is $170

Do you offer Hydrafacial treatment?

Yes!:) Hydrafacial is an amazing treatment for painless extraction and instant glowing skin Let us know if you have any questions

If I have light or blonde lashes would they look better if dyed before the lash lift?

During Yumi keratin lash treatment your lashes will be darker so there is no need to color them beforehand… Read more

Hi! Would using the sauna after a week of getting the yumi eyelash lift lessen/undue the curls?…

After a week you should be fine:)

The front‑desk team always greets me by name, and there's a warmth and professionalism that sets the tone right away. Rena is the reason I keep coming back. She takes her time, explains everything clearly, and never tries to sell you on anything you don't need. Her approach is natural and grounded, and she creates an environment where you feel completely at ease. With a wide range of products, services and fair pricing, it's easy to find exactly what fits your needs. I always leave feeling taken care of and I book my next appointment before I walk out the door. I recommend City Laser SF wholeheartedly, especially Rena.

I got 3 sessions of regular microneedling done back in 2024. After researching a few different…read moremedispas, I chose City Laser because of the combination of RN staff as well as pricing (middle of the range). A package of 3 sessions cost $1350 - each session would normally be priced at $500, so $10% off with the package. As a previous reviewer wrote and what prompted me to add my own review, the whole session was haphazard. I am a microneedling veteran for over 5 years, and have been home-needling + one session at a dermatologist to address some old atrophic acne scars. I thought continuing professional treatments would be the key to seeing more improvements. Wild occurrences with Rena the owner include: being asked to put on my own numbing cream with no real instructions even after asking specific questions, no verbal explanation of what was being done or when we were starting, microneedling over my neck which I specifically said was NOT a focus area and thus did not put numbering cream on (ouch!), a total of less than 5 min of microneedling without changing depths over more severe scarring areas, and forgetting every time that I did not want blood drawn for PRP. Most of the appointment, which never lasted more than 30 min total including numbing cream self application and waiting for it to kick in, was Rena bragging about her kid and other clients who supposedly come to her exclusively (including calling out specifically trans and minorities like this was a collector's display case). I was seriously flabbergasted at what I was experiencing and wanted to finish my 3 sessions ASAP. Have seen no visible improvement after 2 years. Some of the mask and facial cream freebies were nice, but unfortunately not worth $1350! Highly recommend shelling out a bit more to go to a licensed dermatologist.

Before meeting Dr. Kim, I was convinced that he wouldn't be able to help me. After three previous…read morerhinoplasties and dealing with my overly crooked nose and deviated septum, I expected him to tell me--like other plastic surgeons had over the years--to leave my flawed nose alone. To my surprise, after his assistant took pictures from all angles and he examined my nose, he said he could help me and that I was a good candidate! Two months ago, I underwent revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim, and I'm extremely happy with the results. He guided me every step of the way regarding what to expect from the surgery. Firstly, he informed me that my nose would be swollen and appear "big" for several months and that it might take up to 1-2 years to settle into its expected shape. He also mentioned that some asymmetry would remain, but that it would be significantly improved. Even while still swollen, I can see a huge improvement, and I've already received compliments from three friends about my new nose. I can breathe better now and have less sinus discharge. Most importantly, I no longer feel self-conscious about my nose. Each day, it seems to be getting a bit smaller, which is exciting. The renditions he provided of what my new nose would look like closely match how my nose appeared right after surgery before the swelling began. I would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone unhappy with their nose. I only wish I had found him sooner.

It has been 6 months since my revision rhinoplasty with Dr Kim and I absolutely hate my nose. The…read morescar tissue build up on the left side makes my nose incredibly uncomfortable. The LCSG is not placed correctly on that side and probably needs a revision. The nostrils are not even and he shortened my nose. I spent $35,000 and traveled from out of state and have serious regrets. Don't expect any after care if you are an out of state client. He had the nerve to accuse me of having BDD and said 90% of his patients have BDD - when in reality he just didn't want to take fault for his lack of aesthetics. I do not recommend Dr Kim for revision rhinoplasty. I wish I had studied his before and afters longer and trusted my gut when his morph looked terrible. I avoid mirrors and still get nausea from the total identify loss his lack of communication and style has caused me. He took liberties on things we never talked about. Worst part is my breathing is still not better after enduring 6.5 hour surgery.

Monica was incredibly professional and clearly knows her stuff -- the whole experience felt much more medical-grade than the trendy "spa" places that focus more on vibes than results. I really appreciated that. I'm someone who gets a little Botox every few months and does laser hair removal, so I always look for real expertise over fluff, and this was exactly that. My skin looked amazing afterward -- clear, hydrated, and glowing. The results honestly felt like a steal for the price. Whenever I'm in SF for work, I'll be rebooking here for sure.
