HOW LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORKS
aser tattoo removal works by delivering precise pulses of light energy that penetrate the skin and break down tattoo ink particles into tiny fragments. The Cutera Enlighten® laser uses advanced picosecond and nanosecond technology, allowing it to target a wide range of ink colors—even stubborn shades like blue and green—more effectively than traditional lasers. Once the ink particles are shattered, your body’s natural lymphatic system gradually clears them away, causing the tattoo to fade with each session. Over a series of treatments, tattoos become lighter and can often be completely removed, leaving your skin clearer and refreshed.

Mia is very personable and is extremely knowledgeable. I always feel comfortable, relaxed, and in good hands.
Staff are always kind and professional. I feel listened to and cared for. Highly Recommend!
I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent appointment I scheduled via email. Upon arriving at the clinic, I was informed that no appointment was on record and staff were unsure how this occurred. I had made arrangements and taken time off work specifically for this appointment, as I was very much looking forward to being seen. Given the inconvenience and lost time, I would appreciate discussing whether compensation for a portion of my time is possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.
Lyndsey is a master aesthetician! My skin has completely transformed since coming here. The BBL treatments for sun damage are incredible. I have been to other Aestheticians and did not get the results I am getting with Lyndsey 5 Stars!
Coolsculpting for entire days at a time, seemed more like a spa or vacation day, than a procedure day. Jenna was the best and most professional provider I have ever worked with.

Rachel is amazing and the absolute best. She has great recommendations, awesome bedside manner. She only recommends what will be the best for the client and I always trust her opinion and feel safe in her hands. The only improvement I wish- the waiting room is SO BRIGHT now 😩 I liked it before. The new super light pink paint and super bright LED’s kill the vibe.
Hi Team, writing a review on my last week experience with you. Team is amazing especially Mya. She was super nice, gentle with my skin. She listened to all my concerns. She did dermoplaning and diamond facial on me. Appreciate all the work you do. Thank you Mya. You are an amazing 👏 person. Cant wait to see you next time and get the facial done from you. Thanks & Regards Saroj
This clinic is truly wonderful. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mya, Jenna, Lyndsey, Julia, and Dr. Cote, and they take the time to understand your goals, walk you through every option, and make sure you feel confident in your decisions. Their execution is so seamless and precise it almost feels unreal. Jessica and Michell are equally amazing—always greeting you with genuine warmth and making sure you feel supported every step of the way. The entire team is not only highly professional, but also makes you feel like you’re among friends. I couldn’t recommend them more!
I just received the diamond glow facial from MD cote. It was my first facial. I loved the experience. I felt pampered as soon as I walked in the office. Everyone is so warm and professional. My esthetician listened to my skin concerns and recommended that we start with hydration and work our way up to microdermabrasion and different serums in the future because it was my first. I appreciated the questionnaire that asked about my skin tone and sun sensitivity. Jenna was warm, friendly and had a natural flow of conversation. I felt very comfortable with her. My skin looked amazing afterwards and my pores were so clear! (she even showed me all the gunk that came out at the end haha) highly recommend getting your facials here.
I had a Diamond Glow Facial & added on dermaplaning with Mya & it was amazing! My face is still glowing days later. Highly recommend!
Dr Cote and her staff are very professional and great to do business with. They make you feel comfortable and ensure you will have a great experience. I would recommend them to anyone.
Awesome women dr Cote very funny and professional. Knowledgeable and great staff along side her.
