We don't do consultations.
We have conversations.

Sit down. Tell me what you see in the mirror — and what you say to yourself when you do. Where it started, what you've tried, what you'd never admit out loud at a party. Then we'll figure out what to actually do about it, together, and usually not what you walked in expecting.

Start here

There are only two things you have to do.

01

Come in

No forms to fill out at the door, no one sizing you up, no white coats. Tea if you want it. You can arrive skeptical — most people do.

02

Settle in and talk

This is the whole thing. What you feel, how you feel, what actually matters to you. I listen first and I don't sell from a menu.

And then

We decide together

Whatever fits your needs, your budget and your timeframe — not a package we're trying to move. Sometimes we begin that day. Sometimes the honest answer is wait, do less, or do nothing at all.

We are not here to sell you services and products. We are here to help you make the decision that actually fits.

Your needs, your budget, your timeframe. Said out loud, without embarrassment, and taken seriously. If something isn't worth your money right now, you will hear that from us first.

Aging is going to happen. Our whole approach is to let it happen well — softly, gradually, in a way that still looks like you at every stage.

Twenty-one years, one small room, a lot of returning faces.
What we do

Plain names for real concerns.

You don't have to know what to ask for. Tell me what bothers you and I'll tell you which of these — if any — belongs in the answer.

See everything we do →

Lines and creases

The forehead, the frown, the ones that stay after you stop making the face.

Uneven color

Brown patches, redness, freckling from summers you don't regret.

Slackness

Along the jaw, under the chin, the neck you've started avoiding in photos.

Texture and pores

Roughness, old acne scarring, skin that no longer reflects light evenly.

Small annoying things

Veins, unwanted hair, the spot you've been pointing at for three years.

The in-between

What you do at home, which is most of it. Short lists, no shelf full of jars.

Ah-ha moments

You'll get what you came for — and find out what you didn't know to ask for.

Some people walk in knowing exactly what they want. Good — we'll do that. But somewhere in the conversation, something else usually surfaces: the thing that's actually been bothering you, or the simpler fix you'd never heard of. That moment is our favorite part of the job.

I would love to move forward with laser hair removal services with your team. Truth — I didn't even look at anyone else after I left. They all seemed so fake! I'm excited to have found a group with so much education and caring.

I absolutely love North Shore Laser Center! Patricia and Martha are both amazing — so knowledgeable, professional, and exceptional at what they do. I really appreciate that their laser treatments work so well for women with darker skin tones. Highly recommend!

I did not know how much I had going on with my skin until I walked in the door at the Laser Center. Patricia laid out a treatment plan and I followed it, and I’m so grateful I put my trust in Patricia. I haven’t felt pretty in years, and I look in the mirror and love my reflection.

I was honestly shocked by the results after just my FIRST treatment. … If you’ve been thinking about laser hair removal, DO IT! I highly recommend it—and your razor will probably appreciate the retirement.

Best experience! You are in and out within 20 minutes and the providers make you feel right at home. I’m so much more confident in my clothes and swimsuits now. All I can say is it’s been such a great investment and I wish I did it sooner.

My facial skin looked more even, smoother and more youthful. I am in menopause and wanting to support my skin and help with aging. Patricia is lovely, easy to relate to, positive and was helpful regarding the treatments needed for my face with the concerns I have.

I originally came in just for a classic facial, but as soon as I got on the table, Martha had a whole customized plan in mind and I’m so glad she did. … I live in Boston and get facials regularly, but this was by far the best facial ever.

I’m already seeing a noticeable improvement—my dark spots are lighter, the redness is reduced, and my overall skin tone looks so much more even. For the first time in a long time, I actually feel confident and happy with how my skin looks.

Patricia was awesome! … She did not pressure me into any procedures I didn’t need and my expectations were both set and met. I’d absolutely recommend her services and will be going again!

Catherine M., Google review ★★★★★

She’s always able to squeeze me into last-minute appointments, which is amazing for someone with a 9-5. I currently do laser and have been adding on different areas over time, it’s definitely helped to improve my overall confidence.

If there is anything, and I mean at all, troubling you with your body- come here. I started with laser hair removal (which was incredible) but she helped me fix skin issues I didn’t even know were fixable!! Highly recommend, please don’t go anywhere else.

Trish and Martha are both amazing! I am a transgender woman and I have been going here for laser hair removal since I started my transition and have been treated exceptionally well throughout. Great results.

North Shore Laser Center is my go to for facials. I’ve been going regularly for a few years now. Martha is so friendly and takes great care of my face in a super relaxing atmosphere. Every time I leave my skin is glowing!

I have been thinking about getting LHR for years and finally did it, and so wish I had done it earlier. Patricia makes the appointment so comfortable, she works quickly and efficiently, distracts you while she works so it’s over before you know it.

I had stubborn baby hairs on my neck for most of my adult life and she has really transformed my hairline for the better and this is one of the best treatments I’ve ever done for myself. I always thought laser hair removal was too out of reach for me financially but I am so glad I found North Shore laser.

Amy O., Google review ★★★★★

I came in for my first ever laser hair treatment and was totally nervous. Patricia walked me through the whole process, conducted the treatment with incredible efficiency and with minimal discomfort. The results are insane after just the first treatment.

Addy P., Google review ★★★★★

When I tell you after our consultation all my questions and hesitations were left at the door; I mean it. … If you are on the fence like I was just go for it, you won’t be disappointed.

Patricia has literally changed my life!! … I have tried laser hair removal at other places in the past with terrible results. … She is very knowledgeable about PCOS and was able to come up with a plan/schedule that actually worked for me and my symptoms. I have had truly life changing results!

I visited NS Laser to treat sun damage on my lower legs. I hated wearing shorts in the summer, but let me tell you, Patricia fixed the damage and I will be wearing shorts again!

I wanted someone experienced and not a big chain, and came across North Shore Laser and couldn't be happier! … She makes you feel like you are old friends.

If you’re nervous or having any second thoughts on laser, don’t be, go see Patricia she will truly make such a difference in your life and she will make this experience a breeze for you!!

Nicole P., Google review ★★★★★
“

I have been getting laser hair removal the last couple years to shape my beard so I don't have to shave my neck and cheeks constantly. No more getting irritation on my neck from shaving and I now save way more money on purchasing razors since I hardly need to get them. Completely worth it.

Kyle, Google review ★★★★★
“

I was so skeptical about laser hair removal as I am a North African with darker skin. … I saw huge results after my first treatment and amazing ones the second one to the point that some areas like my face don’t have hair any more.

Touriya A., Google review ★★★★★
“

I’ve been to 3+ laser hair removal places in the past 10 years and none of them got the results I was looking for … After about 4 sessions with Patricia, I’m finally at the point where I can live without this insecurity of mine! No more nightly mirror checks!

Patricia is wonderful! I’m getting amazing results with her collagen treatments. It’s like Botox without needles or invasive injections. In addition she is a kind warm soul who will immediately put you at ease.

Being trans and going in for my first appointment, I immediately felt at ease. I highly recommend her, especially if you’re trans. The laser service she provides is phenomenal too.

I had gone to one other laser hair center that said they didn’t have the equipment to safely laser my skin, Patricia fortunately does and I’m so relieved I found her!

Lexy N., Google review ★★★★★

Patricia was able to get rid of many years of sun spots on my face and my skin is now smooth and glowing! The procedure was quick and painless and worth every dollar!!

Lynn R., Google review ★★★★★

I am sitting here admiring my hands, which look at least 10 years younger after just 1 treatment of my series with Patricia. She suggested collagen in addition to IPL, and I'm glad I am doing both.

I've had laser hair removal done everywhere from D.C. to Dubai and Trish is the best! … Her prices are also the most reasonable. Go! You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience! Patricia took years off my face and eliminated the need for makeup. Her gentle touch and skill were excellent.

Patricia (Trish) Cregier, owner of North Shore Laser Center, at the studio in Salem
Who you'll meet

The same faces, every visit, for twenty-one years.

You'll talk to me, and I'll remember what you told me last time — including the parts that had nothing to do with your skin.

Alongside me is Martha, our aesthetician — the person many clients see between visits, and someone I trust with the work and the conversation both. Two of us, both of whom already know your history.

This is a small, slightly silly place. People stay for decades. Their daughters come. They bring us tomatoes in August. That's the practice I wanted to build, and it's the one you're walking into.

Not headshots. Just us!

You'll recognize everyone before you walk in.

The house

A building full of women running their own practices.

Under one roof: my practice, and several independent practitioners who keep their own hours, their own clients, and their own way of working. We are not one company. We are neighbors who send people to each other, constantly.

So when the conversation turns out to be about your hormones, your shoulders, your sleep, or the job you're afraid to leave — the right person is usually already down the hall.

With me

Aesthetics & laser

Martha and me. Lasers, skin care, and the long view. This is the practice.

Independent

Naturopathic medicine

For the things skin is only reporting on — energy, hormones, gut, what's underneath.

Independent

Massage therapy

Bodywork for people who hold everything in their neck and shoulders. Most of us.

Independent

Life coaching

When what came up in the room was never really about a line on your forehead.

Independent

Injectables, by an NP

A light hand, when and only when it's the honest answer. Her practice, her call.

Separate company

The Peptide Connection

A way to reach the right physician, pharmacy and medical oversight when peptides belong in the plan.

Come for one thing. Leave knowing six people who have your back.

Each practitioner in the building runs an independent business and books separately. Ask us and we'll walk you down the hall.

The Peptide Connection, LLC is a separate company of mine and not part of North Shore Laser Center. It's a platform — it connects you to licensed prescribers, compounding pharmacies and real medical guidance, and any of us here can point you to it.

Book a conversation

Come sit down. Nothing has to be decided.

An hour, in person, no charge to talk. Bring your questions, your list, your suspicion that this is all nonsense. Expect a few life stories along the way — ours and yours. That's not a detour, that's the work.
