Aura Laser Skin Care

Dr Allen was professional and helpful as I was considering lipo under my chin and voluma in my cheeks. Was a good solution for me and very happy w results more

Be careful with any services. Dr. Garcia - The Medical Director was recently under investigation by KOMO for malpractice on a lipsuction. See: Phttp://www.komonews.com/news/problemsolvers/116639403.html?tab=video&c=y Here is my personal story. AURA FAILED TO RETURN CALLS, AND MARKED MY CERTIFICATE AS REDEEMED WHEN THEY WOULDN'T RETURN CALLS OR SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT. I purchased this Groupon after attending a consultation with Dr. Garcia and Katie and was told that I qualified for the procedure and that December 14th was available for my procedure. I relied on that commitment and purchased the Groupon for $2,600. Katie told me she would call me back to let me know if a blood test was needed. I did not hear back so I kept calling to confirm whether a blood test was needed. The receptionist told me that she would leave Katie a message and that either Katie or Nadar the manager would call me back. I did not receive a call back so I called numerous times and received no response. Each time I was told that she would pass on the message and that Nadar the manager would call back. The day before my surgery, on Thursday the 13th I called the office 3 times in the AM. and Katie finally tells me I am not scheduled. I am requesting a refund from Groupon. If this is how they treat patients, and their Dr. is under investigation....I say stay away. This place should be shut down. more

**UPDATE below: BEWARE THREATS!** DONT BUY their Groupons for Laser Hair removal....there is a reason they keep selling them thru Groupon...mass fast cash, and nothing for it. These guys have done these Groupons 3 times in just over a year, talk about a cash grab...,and this time they are increasing their 6 sessions to 8....hmmmm, looking for more quick cash from unsuspecting. The Laser they use does nothing...the laser itself isnt that great (check reviews), thats why they say for any skin type...but on top of that I dont think they are changing the tips. I bought 2 - SIX session packages for them...that is 12 sessions for my legs...guess what...nothing has changed! I am not a virgin to laser hair removal...and I have the perfect skin type for it. Had my bikini done a few years ago, better laser, Better place...bikini free and clear. Now I have wasted alot of cash and more importantly alot of time. As far as techs most were good, one I swear was just trained...but the worse is the manager KATY - OMG, this is one self centered, self absorbed, know it all....bad management! Dont waste your time or money here, there are better places with results...pay a bit more and actually get something for your money! ***UPDATE: 9.26.12 - AURA Laser Skin Care just called my personal cell # to THREATEN that if I didnt change my HONEST review of them that they would take "Action." Are you flippin kidding me...these guys are sooooooo SHADDY!! They mislead customers, then are rude when they are questioned about their service, then they think they can try and STRONG ARM people into changing their reviews. These guys should be happy that I wrote such a tame review of them...I have much more I can say about their "service." Katy, the joke of a manager, told me I didnt know what I was talking about, kept infering that I was not telling the truth about the service I got...I never complained once, but the first time I did I saw their true, nasty colors! BEWARE!! more

I've been quite disappointed with the treatment I've been receiving for laser hair removal. Treatments seem quite rushed with no attention to detail. It seems that nurses don't care to ensure that they do a thorough job and when confronted about it I'm always told "lasers have a dispursing effect." I personally don't buy it because I have had laser in the past which was much more thorough and professional. The treatment I'm getting at Aura is not working after 4 visits whereas I've seen results almost immediately when I had treatment a few years ago at a different clinic. I guess you get what you pay for - they do have very cheap prices but I suppose it's because they also invested in cheap laser equipment. more
