What things cost

You pay for what you need.
Nothing more than that.

We aren't having you prepay for anything. No packages, no deposits, no balance sitting on our books with your name on it. You pay at the visit, for the visit — and if you finish early, you simply stop paying.

The whole policy

If you don't need it, we're not having you pay for it. It's that simple.

How we price

Nothing up front

Too many people have walked in here having already lost money to a laser company that took payment in advance and then closed, moved, or changed hands.

We will not hold your money. You pay for the visit you just had, and you leave owing us nothing.

No packages

A package assumes we already know how many visits you'll need. Often we don't — and you may be finished well before a package would have run out. Then you've bought visits you'll never use.

So we don't sell them. You come until you're done, and then you're done.

Specials go to our people

We don't run promotions to pull in strangers hunting a deal. When there's something to give, it goes to the clients who have been coming here for years.

Stay with us and you'll be on the receiving end of it.

Hair removal, by area

Real starting numbers.

Hair removal is the one thing we can put a number on ahead of time, because the areas are consistent. These are starting points — where you land depends on the size of the area and how much hair is actually there.

Most people need six to eight visits, four to six weeks apart. Some need fewer. You'll hear our honest estimate in the first conversation — and you'll still be paying one visit at a time.

Small area

Upper lip, chin, underarms, hands — or the single stubborn patch you've been tweezing for years.

from $125

Medium area

Bikini, lower legs, forearms, full face, shoulders, chest.

from $500

Large area

Full legs, full back, and combinations that cover a lot of ground at once.

from $750

Sun damage

We start with the whole face.

Not because it costs more — because chasing individual spots leaves you patchy. Treating the full face evens everything at once, and then we can go back and spot treat anything that's still holding on.

Often that second pass isn't needed at all. If it isn't, you don't pay for it.

Is a photofacial the same as IPL?

No — it's a different technology. The results are comparable, and honestly I think ours are better. Most people use the two treatment words interchangeably, so if IPL is what you came in asking for, you're in the right place.

Full face photofacial

Brown spots, freckling and mottled color across the whole face, treated together so the result is even rather than blotchy.

from $750

Spot treatment after

Only if something's still there once the full face has settled. Quoted then, based on what's actually left — and skipped entirely when it isn't needed.

quoted after

Hands, arms, legs, chest, shoulders and neck are treated too, and priced separately — ask, because almost nobody thinks to and they're often what gives age away.

Redness and rosacea

This one takes patience.

Redness settles down gradually, over a series — nobody gets it in one visit, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we can tell you is that it does respond, and that people are usually surprised by how much calmer their face gets.

Redness on the face

A flush that never quite leaves, cheeks that give you away, skin that reacts to wine, heat and stress. Priced per treatment — several are usually needed.

from $400

Per treatment, paid at the visit. You stop whenever you're satisfied.

Texture, tightening and resurfacing

Two ways in. Both work.

This is the widest range we have, because it covers everything from a gentle treatment that feeds the skin to full radiofrequency microneedling. Where you land depends on the technology, how deep the concern actually goes, and what your budget honestly allows.

Whichever way you come in, we want your commitment more than we want your first payment. That's what produces the result.

Skin tightening and wrinkles

Laser, RF microneedling and resurfacing — for texture, large pores, old acne scarring, lines and slackness.

$250–$1,200
Slow and steady

Build up to it

Start gently, get the skin healthy, feed it, and let trust build between us before we go deeper. Lower cost per visit, more visits, very little disruption to your week.

There is no right or wrong here. We make suggestions, you make decisions — which is exactly why we have conversations and not consultations.

All in

Bring out the big guns

Go straight to the intensive work — the Matrix™, the plasma pen, Exceed microneedling, or several of them stacked in one visit. Fewer visits, more per visit, and a little more recovery to plan around.

If you're ready for it, we'll say so honestly and we won't hold you back.

On downtime

Most of what we do has very little of it. And "downtime" is a relative term anyway — it depends entirely on how you perceive it. Some people are pink for an afternoon and think nothing of it; others would rather not be seen at all that week. Tell us which you are and we'll plan around it.

Moles and raised spots

Slow work, done properly.

This is the treatment people are most surprised by the price of, so here's exactly where it goes: layers of numbing applied and given time to work, then precise targeting, one small area at a time. It cannot be rushed, and rushing it is how people end up with a mark worse than the one they started with.

Every mole must be cleared by a dermatologist before we touch it — no exceptions. Once you've been told it's nothing to worry about and you still don't like it, that's a good enough reason to have it gone.

Mole removal, plasma pen

Priced each. The mole on your nose, the one that catches on your collar, the one you've been looking at for years.

from $500

Dermatologist clearance required first. If you haven't had it looked at, that's your first stop — then come see us.

Timing and expectations

We don't make miracles. We build consistency.

Most laser treatments sit four to six weeks apart. That spacing isn't us pacing your wallet — it's how long skin needs to do its part between visits. Coming in sooner doesn't speed anything up.

Consistency is what actually produces results, in every single thing we do. Showing up on schedule for a few months beats one dramatic treatment every time, and it's why we'd rather have a relationship with you than a transaction.

Anyone promising you a transformation in one visit is selling you something. We'd rather tell you the real timeline and then keep showing up alongside you.

Everything else

We'd rather quote you honestly than quote you generally.

For the smaller things — a spot you want gone, a rough patch, hydration and facials — two people with the same complaint often need very different amounts of work. A number printed here would be wrong for one of you, and we'd rather not begin that way.

Ask on the phone, ask by text, or ask sitting down. You'll get a real figure, a real timeframe, and no drift toward the expensive version.
