Why LaserTouch Aesthetics?

Quality: We offer the best quality service, equipment and brands such as Candela®, Cutera, BOTOX®, Juvederm® and Radiesse®.

Effectiveness: The lasers we use are FDA approved and have been evaluated as the most effective in peer-reviewed medical journals. These sophisticated lasers target the root of the hair so specifically that they not only eliminate very dark and coarse hair, but are also the most effective lasers for the removal of fine hair and even hair with a light brown root.

Evaluations and Customization: Your health and satisfaction are our primary concerns. Our laser practioners perform test spots and assess hair and skin types for treatment eligibility. We thoroughly review every client's skin type and hair color to determine customized treatment settings before and during the treatment.

Safety: We use patented cooling devices for cooling the skin surface during treatments. That means more comfortable treatments and eliminates the need for topical anesthetics.

Truthfullness: No false promises. We explain what works and what doesn't. A pressure free environment where our first priority is educating you about your skin, our services, and the best options to achieve your goals.

Confidentiality: Our laser providers and professional staff understand the intimate nature of laser hair removal and are accustomed to addressing our clients' most private concerns. You can rest assured that anything discussed or treatments performed at LaserTouch Aesthetics will remain discreet and confidential.

Affordability: Our lasers perform treatments at high speed while offering complete coverage, therefore enabling us to charge less per treatment. We never insist on paying for packages up front; our clients pay per treatment. We are confident that our lasers' great results will bring our clients back for completion and follow-up treatments.
