This is my favorite place for filler and Botox. It seems to last twice as long as other places I’ve been and the owner Karen is smart, funny and nice. She’s saved my lips ! Being 60 they look smoother but natural, better than when I was 40 I think. And she took away my nose bridge wrinkle. It’s all good :-) and comparable prices great location and relaxing waiting room, friendly staff

We use to do electrolysis (which is much more painful, WAY longer and slightly more expensive) just to be in a safe place. Finally we were told about the Laser process and suggested to go to the one in Aptos by a local nurse. We called and immediately felt welcome and safe, the honest and professional receptionist informed me they couldn’t price anything over the phone but would love to have us in for a free consultation. They had appointments open all that week. Within 10 minutes of being there we were convinced this was the best way to go, not only was the price VERY reasonable, but the time it takes to see progress sounded amazing. Then when we come to the 1st appointment It only took 10 minutes, it was super cool to watch and within an hour the skin’s slight redness had gone away. I highly suggest looking into this particular business if you’re curious, their knowledgeable staff always returns any messages or questions within 24 hours and seem happy to do such. Trans friendly/​safe.

I had a wonderful experience at Laser hair I had my legs and bikini laser and it was fast and the results were amazing the thought of never having to shave is again is a dream come true! Karen and her staff were very professional and the Medical spa was very clean with great products, I bought some wonderful SPF for my face and some vitamin C serum for my face which I love I also bought some Latisse for my eyelashes and after a month they have grown a lot I look forward to my return treatments I would give Laser hair an A+ all around

Have been to see Karen twice for Dysport on my forehead and the work she does is flawless! Am very happy with the results! I very seldom write reviews so I mean it when I say she doing an excellent job. The front office staff is very pleasant and helpful and the office very clean and relaxing. I am looking forward to another visit next week!

I have been seeing Karen for laser hair removal for about 2 years now and let me tell you, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My Mom has been going to her for years and recommender her. The office is clean and professional, the front desk staff is extremely friendly and welcoming.
I now live in Santa Barbara and I have been to 2 different facilities down here but nothing compares so I wait for my visits home and they are always able to squeeze me in for an appointment.
I have had treatments done on my armpits, face, bikini and even a full brazilian treatment. Yes, laser hair removal can be pricy but Karen is extremely fair and will usually offer package deals if you are doing more than one area. And yes, it can be painful but since they got the new laser its much less painful. She is very personable and the sessions go by fast since we usually spend the time catching up. If I could give more stars on the rating I would!

The office is clean and professional. Pam at the front desk was sweet and helpful. The nurse took me right back for my pre exam. I had never had any services like this before so I had plenty of questions. Karen was prompt and informative. We decided on Dysport. A little numbing cream was applied and my service was complete. My forehead is now flawless. I love Karen and I will be back in four to six weeks!

I’ve been going to Karen and Dr. Kojian for YEARS. They have always been super professional and provided me with excellent hair removal and Botox service. I love the relaxing atmosphere of the clinic and understand that if sometimes I have a small wait in the waiting room it is worth it for the quality they provide. If you are expecting to drop by and get rushed in and out, that’s not how this place works. Take a break, let your skin numbing cream take effect, and just chill… you will be thrilled with the results!

I’ve been to Laser Hair and Skin Solutions about a dozen times. Karen treated me professionally and I had fantastic results. Karen took great care removing a blemish that was on my face that bothered me for years. Thank you for your caring and great service.

First foray into the med spa world. Lovely medi-​spa environment. Professional but not intimidating. Karen was very business like and procedure was as painless as possible. They also carry lots of stuff you normally have to go to your derm to get like RetinA and Latisse. Recommend!

Went here after my friend had recommended Karen (and I was becoming dis-​enchanted with Monterey Bay Laser). I scheduled an appointment to have my chin and sideburns done. When I got there I was told I would need to use numbing cream so they slathered it on and sat me in the front for a little bit. She then took me into the room and proceeded to run the machine over my skin. Its a different machine (cant remember what its called) and much faster then the one MBL uses and I was pleased it worked so quickly. She also does little «extra» areas like cheeks, etc and does not charge additional. I left a satisfied customer UNTIL the next day when I noticed small burn marks all over the left side of my face. It looked exactly like little chicken feet. I called Karen very upset and was told it would fade. 2 days later It still had not faded so I went into the office to have them look at it. They were shocked at the shape of the burns and thought maybe a piece of hair got stuck in the machine causing it to burn on top of my skin every time they zapped me. My first thought was «if your a professional shouldn’t you have periodically checked the machine to make sure that doesn’t happen!».
She gave me some very strong hydroquinine lotions to fade the marks but it was stronger than prescription strength and there was no way I was putting that on my face. She said she would give me a free underarm session for the trouble but there’s no way I will ever let her touch my skin again.

I love Karen, I have very sensitive skin and spend so much $$ on special razors and special creams to help razor burns, in grown hairs from waxing and even facial stains from bad waxing. She’s always been fair with cost and personable. I have referred so many people to her and everyone has been happy with their results. I love that is close by and she’s a nurse vs. some unlicensed regular employee like the ones in San Jose.

Karen does a great job with the b. treatment, but the review about the wait is true — schedule to be the first appointment if possible to avoid that.

I showed up at my scheduled time for a consultation and waited 25 minutes to be seen. The reason i even made the appt was to research my options for dealing with sun damage. I was seen for less than 5 minutes when the nurse was pulled away (for another twenty minutes). Then she pops her head in and says, «shall we set you up for some Botox? I’ll send my assistant in. I have to go see my other patient now». I wasn’t even interested in Botox. I was so disappointed. What a waste of a precious hour of my life.

Will never go back, as I ended up with burns on my face after one laser hair removal treatment.
