Dr. Larrabee proformed Dermabrasion ~ 34 years ago at the newly founded Larrabee Center. He protrayed himself as experienced and proficient. This common procedure started bad and ended bad. He did not greet me before the surgery nor after the surgery. It was a botched procedure. Like I said, He told me he was experienced with Dermabrasion. In my view, he had never done this before or had such little experience, he did not know what he was doing. I am not the only one who feels this way with comments from dermatologists and plastic surgeons like, "... he didn't even feather out a transition between treated skin and non-treated skin." Theodore Roosevelt: "To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society." Like all victims, I blamed myself for doing the wrong thing. Tax laws changed in early 1990s. The change made cosmetic surgery a non deductible item for federal 1040 tax returns. Many providers planned for any changes. Only the poorest planners would up empty handed or poor cash flow. Dermabrasion with the mechanical device takes years of work and practice. You can't imagine how my life changed because of his lack of integrity. I was permanently scared for life. After 10s of thousands of dollars of treatments and procedures, I am not anywhere close to recovery either physically, emotionally, or financially. I can provide a letter from Larrabee in which he states that, "my age of 50 was the primary cause of any problems I may have." This is just not true. read more

I go for Botox with Lahna. She is very experienced and I completely trust her. She never is pushy for hi to do more..she sees what needs to be done and lets you know and then proceeds. read more

Lahna is AMAZING! I love this girl! Lahna is exceptional at her craft. I consider myself an expert consumer of cosmetic services and I am beyond happy with my results. I have had Botox, fillers, lasers and chemical peels just to name a few. Lahna is an artist. She has a great eye for helping improve my areas of concern. I was nervous to use filler because I had a few bad experiences. She is very conservative, and I am so happy. She will be the only person to inject my face. She also did my Botox and the results are amazing. Her knowledge and skill are hard to beat, not to mention she is just a beautiful person inside and out. Lauren, what a gem!! I cannot recommend Lauren enough. Her knowledge, skill, and personalized approach to skincare are truly exceptional. I have had multiple treatments from her, and I can't wait to get my next one. If you are looking for an esthetician who will take the time to understand your skin and provide you with truly amazing results, Lauren is your girl. I just adore her. You will not be disappointed. On my last visit Lauren recommended the ZO Skin Care line and I love it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality, effective skincare solutions. I can honestly say that they have transformed the look and feel of my skin. I am 50 years old, and these products have made a difference. read more

I've always been insecure about the pores on my nose and decided I finally needed some professional help. I got a hydrafacial and I'm really impressed by the results! Ashley R. was very professional and knowledgeable. I have really dry skin, but it felt so moisturized and glowy when I was done. My skin was noticeably clearer after my first. I already got a second and will def be back for more. It was a super luxurious experience and my skin has never looked better! read more

I had good experience. Quick service. Lahna is great. Will be coming back. Thank you !

Lahna is amazing, listened to what my concerns were about the work I wanted done and she was very precise and perfect at her work! I love town natural the look she gave my lips each time read more

I came here for IPL and laser for dark spots and capillaries on my face, and after my first session my skin was drastically better. They even did a follow up to zap a couple stubborn spots a month later. Would highly recommend and will definitely go back. read more

Maryln Wilson has taken care of me for over fifteen years. She does my injectables so skillfully that no one knows I have any done. She is personable, knowledgeable, incredibly professional and has amazing technique. There are others (including Lauren) at the Larrabee Center who I like, but Maryln is the standout. She takes personal care of each patient, making you feel like a beauty & a star. I leave Maryln's office with more confidence and with knowledge about how to care for my skin & my body. Maryln has fantastic, currently-trending recommendations and she is never pushy. I highly recommend Larrabee Center for their commitment to excellent healthcare, good customer service and unparalleled aesthetic results. read more

The aestheticians at the Larrabee cosmetic center are wonderful! I have been seeing Lauren for over a decade & she is fantastic! I've had the IPL & Needling and have noticed significant improvement in my skin. In addition, Lauren always follows up a couple days after to make sure I'm good. I've also seen Lahna who also is extremely professional and skilled at her job. She offers solutions while weighing in what I'm hoping to achieve. There is no where else I'd go as I trust both Lauren and Lahna completely. The front office staff are also extremely professional and courteous. read more

I had a facial here by Natasha and wasn't disappointed. The products, ambiance and personnel are impeccable. I really appreciate Natasha telling me what would be best for my skin and the products/device she was using on me. They use top of the line skin care products and device here. Natasha is very knowledgeable, funny and easy to talk to. Also, I very much enjoyed the results of the facial, my skin is now softer, calmer and clearer. read more

Both times I have come in for a consultation I have waited 20mins or more past my appt time. Not sure if I will get my services here but if I do, I'll update my review with more info on how it actually goes. read more

Dr. Larrabee performed a rhino-septoplasty on me and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. It was a very complicated surgery and I am so thankful I trusted my face in his skilled hands. My request was to fix my deviated septum so that I could breathe better, remove the bump on my nose, slightly lift the tip of my nose, as well as minimize the size of the bulb of my nose. This was no easy feat! Dr. Larrabee is truly an artist and I cried tears of joy when my bandages came off. The results were natural and beautiful, I still looked like myself, and ten years later I am still incredibly happy with my results. Dr. Larrabee is the best!! I'm so thankful to him! read more

I've been going to Larrabee for laser hair removal for two months so far. Lauren is the most professional laser technical I have ever worked with. The fact that I have had to use more than one is a testament to the poor service I've had in the past with laser treatments that have cost me double what Larrabee's rates are for not only inferior treatment but also dangerous treatment that left me with scarring and continued hair growth. The staff is amazing: attentive, careful, friendly, funny and a pleasure to see whenever I visit. Lauren is a shining star at this beautifully decorated office as well. All in all top notch service all the way! read more

So disappointed. Don't go. Had consultation with Dr Larrabee. Left being given a verbal $2000 quote, told I'd receive an email with details in two days and that I could have the procedure the following week. After 12 days and no email - I contacted the office. They apologized. Then I received a basic letter with very few details. I contacted them 2 more times. Each time I'd receive a bit more info. Final info: $3,528 for procedures he had NOT told me about. The $2,000 quote for filler and Botox would be additional and he could not tell me what that would cost as it would depend on how much I needed. HE did say what a vile of filler would be and what Botox injections were. However I have no idea how much I would need. CRAZY! I wasted hours and paid for a worthless consultation. It's hard for me to believe this so called high quality center can operate successfully with such untimely and rather deceptive communication. And who knows what results? I'm for sure not going to find out. Thoroughly disgusted. read more

Absolutely amazing staff. Provided excellent care before and after my surgery. Wonderful work done, couldn't have asked for a better outcome. read more

I saw Dr Larrabee and his team the other day. Once again they were prompt, thorough and professional. They made me feel very comfortable throughout the procedure and, as usual, it was completed beautifully. I highly recommend the Larrabee Center. read more

The whole staff at Larrabee Center (I have been frequently to the aesthetics center) is professional, light-hearted, welcoming and flexible. Lisa is an artist with injectables, and incredibly easy to talk to about your concerns. This is a great place for newbies to the process, or people who want a competitively priced clinic that makes you feel comfortable and confident. read more

I had a great experience with mole removal from Dr. Ridgway. The staff at the office is courteous and kind and Dr. Ridgway is very thorough and incredibly skilled. I didn't ever really consider removal because I was scared of the procedure. He came very highly recommended by a friend and I scheduled a consultation. He answered all of my questions, discussed all options, and really put me at ease. The thing I most regret now is that I didn't have this done sooner. The procedure was quick, pain free, and I have a great result. When you are trusting someone with your face, the thing people see first, you really want to know that you are in good hands. Dr. Ridgway is fantastic. read more

I just completed my PRP treatment for hair loss at the Larrabee Center. This experience was far better compared to my first 2 treatments at a different hair restoration facility. There was little discomfort compared and he was able to use more PRP in order to cover all of my areas of need. On top of the great experience, I also wasn't "sold" anything extra that I didn't need. read more

It's really too bad that some businesses don't realize the front desk IS your business. The aesthetic team is very qualified and talented, and the location is easy so I would come consistently if it weren't for the front desk. In the past I have sometimes gone other places just because I never get a call returned or a question answered from the desk. Last week each time I called for an appointment I got VM, it's been over a week with neither call returned. I just called and got a live person, who said they were just too busy right now. She apologized, but not with too much enthusiasm. So sad too bad. There are a lot of other places to go. read more

Definitely 5 stars to Lauren and Lisa. They are by far the best in their respective fields. Apart from being excellent at what they do, they're both very personable, professional, conscientious and friendly. They make you feel very comfortable.I also appreciate the fact they won't try to sell you anything. They're both honest and direct and want the best for your skin. Go see them and you won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent - I've been getting facial treatments from Lauren Jackson Gross for 14 years: IPL first, then Ulthera and Laser Hair removal. I believe I've had a treatment roughly every 2-1.5 years. I've had excellent off-the-charts results, though I think I have 3 factors that account for the effectiveness of the treatments beyond that intervention itself. I've used sunscreen daily for 30 years, rain or shine, so my facial collagen has been well-protected and I've never been outdoorsy anyway; my mother at 80 without any intervention but moisturizer looks 60; and I'm a little chubby so my face has padding. The condition of your skin, collagen and genetics do make a difference. That being said, Lauren, has been very responsive to my sensitive skin which is also very reactive to lasers, medicine, needling, tattooing, piercing - basically manipulation/modification of any kind. I am routinely pegged as years younger than I am. Results last about a year, maybe a year and a half. As far as IPL and particularly Ulthera, it's not cumulative and it cannot reverse aging, it can only improve the appearance of aging. I did have two negative reactions over those many treatments - with one I really jumped during a pulse and had a welt that lasted for about 4 months, and a red patch that lasted longer. My fault - but just mentioned to let you know that not moving will keep this from happening to you. In another instance the skin at my temples is particularly thin, and I did lose fat there. Over time it's filled in and I don't get that area treated anymore. Still, even with those two experiences (which would have happened with any provider, and without her experience (she's been doing Ulthera longer than anyone in Seattle, I believe) I'm certain those two experiences would have meant real damage. For me, both were passing marks. I enjoy my time with her even though laser therapy is not comfortable/a bit painful (and I refuse meds, takes too much of my day to be groggy). She's funny, kind, honest, thorough and when there's been an issue dealt with it directly and professionally. read more

I arrived on time. The front desk was busy my paperwork was complete when she came for me. Consult with Dr. Patel was thorough however similar to talking to a snobby elitist, who was in a rush. The remarks she made about a chronic painful condition I live with truly showed her ignorance and judgemental attitude. After that she proceeded to administer needles and seeming annoyed I preferred numbing cream she reluctantly gave me numbing cream as if it was unheard of ! Then she says she did not have time to do the the fillers OK. To top it off my botox was $3 extra PER UNIT because I had seen Larrabee 6 years ago when lived nearby /first moved to Seattle but had not returned only because I chose a new center 2 blocks from home. Never heard of being penalized - way to attract clients! Left there feeling utterly diminished and that Larrabee Center/Dr. Patel could Give a ! read more

Lisa Machak is the BEST injector ever!She takes her time to study your face. She has a very artistic eye and her technique is so good that you leave without bruising.She is very professional and knowledgeable. She takes her time to answer your questions and satisfy your needs. She is also conservative in her approach and believe in natural results. She is very easy to talk to and has a great, sweet personality. I highly recommend her. read more

I have been to many cosmetic centers in the Seattle area and I have found 2 of the best professionals at The Larrabee Center. LAUREN is stellar at treatments like IPL and Ultherapy. She is a perfectionist (Master Esthetician) and will continue to work with you until she is satisfied that she has achieved the best outcome. There is no additional charge for follow up visits if needed. No nickel and diming you here. She is very professional, has years of experience, and does her best to keep you comfortable during some very UNcomfortable procedures. MARYLN is also the best in area for fillers and botox. Again, years of experience, a professional with an artistic eye for placement. She injects a little here, a little there. No loading you up with a syringe full of filler in one spot. Very natural. Same with the botox. Little amounts in many places. And, her technique makes it almost painless. Pay parking garage below. Book well in advance, they are very popular for good reason. read more

I have been getting Botox for years and this is the best place I have ever been. For one, the office is beautiful. It was so easy to make an appointment, and the woman who scheduled my appointment was very nice, helpful and professional. I arrived for my appointment and was quickly helped. Marlyn RN took me back to her office where I got my injection. She is so genuine, personable and very comfortable to be around. She and I had a lovely conversation and she is by far one of the most knowledgeable and gentle injectors I have ever met. She did an amazing job. I also got to meet Shay at the front desk. She was just as sweet as can be. I left the office feeling beautiful and like these people really cared about my experience and wanted to get to know me. I even got to quickly meet Dr. Larrabee, he took a few minutes to chat with me and I expressed to him how happy I was with Ms. Marlyn's botox job. He along with everyone I met there were just nice, happy people. This place is a gem! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality medspa. read more

This is for the skin care section of The Larrabee Center. The office is clean, nicely decorated and the staff is very friendly. For all of my skin care needs I see Natasha. I must say she is one of the most personable skin care professionals I have ever been to and, let me just tell you I have terrible skin! So I have seen many a skin care professional. My first visit was for a consultation on laser treatment to remove my acne scars around my jaw line. During this visit I was told about some other options because doing laser treatment in the summer time is not the best way to go and, that if I was still interested in winter we could revisit the idea. From that day on I have been going in every 4 to 6 weeks for extractions and chemical peels. I was also given a daily skin care regimen due to the fact that I was never told you shouldn't wash your face with hand soap (THANKS MOM!). I actually look forward to washing my face now! Furthermore the scars on my face have actually decreased in color and size due to the magic she preforms. At my recent work holiday party I was told by many coworkers that my skin looked flawless. FLAWLESS! me? my skin? I nearly broke in to tears. Never in my life did I ever think I would have GOOD skin. On a side note, I have had this deep wrinkle next to my eyebrow since I was a child. After my first scrubbing and peel... It's gone... Simply Amazing! I could go on and on but I feel this is enough information for anyone who is curious about setting up an appointment. I HIGHLY recommend seeing NATASHA for great results and the kind of bond you get with your hair dresser/ Wedding makeup artist. read more

Dr. Nadeau is an artist with injectibles. Highly recommend.
