I had laser tattoo removal with Lisa & am so happy with my results!! She is the sweetest!! �
I've been going to Lisa for IPL and botox, and she always does a fantastic job, plus she has a great personality! Highly recommend!
The laser hair removal process with Chantel was so amazingly simple! She is knowledgeable and explained every question in detail! I highly recommend and can’t wait for my next session
I got the cool peel CO2 laser treatment done this afternoon with Alice and it was amazing! Results are great, and very little stinging pain afterwards.
I have been seeing Amanda Davis for many years for treatments including Botox, filler, IPL, hair removal and laser peels. She always takes time to explain each treatment including any recovery time and expectations. She also answers my questions about future treatments I am interested in. I am so pleased with every treatment session I have had with her. Thanks Amanda!

We provide both BBL and IPL therapy at our Pensacola, FL office and can help you determine which treatment is right for your complexion.

The cost of IPL or BBL treatment depends on factors like the area being treated, the number of sessions needed, and your specific goals. During a consultation, we'll discuss your desired outcomes and provide a personalized cost estimate to match your treatment plan.
How long will my results last with IPL and BBL therapy?
Results from IPL and BBL therapy are long-lasting, especially with proper skin care and sun protection.
