Updated Booking Policy
New client consultations are now a $50 flat fee as opposed to complimentary due to high demand. Consultations can be booked for any of our services. All consults, including dedicated phone consultations are 20 minutes long and are designed to help the client and provider gather a detailed understanding of the client’s needs. These can be booked online or over the phone for in person or phone consults. The $50 deposit will then be used as a credit towards the first treatment or skincare regimen! Deposits are non-refundable for no shows or cancellations before 48 hours.
A valid credit card must be entered to submit the appointment request. The card will be stored on file but not charged until your service has been completed. Please notify our staff if you would like to change your payment method on the day of your service.
Cancellation Policy & No Show Policy: All appointment cancellations must be made 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment time. Any late cancellations or missed appointments will result in a $100 charge to the credit card on file.
Cancellation Policy
We require a 48-hour notice on appointment cancellations. Each time a patient misses an appointment without providing proper notice, another patient is prevented from receiving care and our providers miss out on potential commissions and wages.

We require a credit card on file upon booking. “No Show” and last minute cancellation fees will be charged to the patients card on file.

We offer complimentary consultations 6 days a week, for best advice, come see us so we can take a look at your skin. Here are some things to consider:
Pre-Treatment Recommendations
For best results, patients should avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and tanning creams for 2-3 weeks prior and throughout their treatment. Sunless Tanning Lotions must also be avoided for 2-3 weeks prior to treatment. However, if sun exposure is not avoidable, treatment sessions need to be increased because treatments on sun exposed skin will require lower settings to to protect the epidermis. Too recent sun exposure may result in cancellation of treatment. It is also recommended to implement a skincare program before treatment to enhance results.
If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the treatment could contribute to a recurrence. If you have taken Accutane or its generic forms in the last year you may not be a candidate for treatment. If you take anti-coagulants you may not be a candidate for treatment.
While being treated, the laser may feel like pin pricks, bursts of heat or similar to a sunburn. If you have any allergies to topical anesthetics please consult your provider.
