Zuzana Likar MSN, NP-C

Co-Founder, Palo Alto Laser And Skin Care

Zuzana Likar, MSN, NP-C, is one of the most highly trained practitioners in the field of cosmetic lasers and energy-based devices. She specializes in laser resurfacing, skin tightening, and body contouring, and is considered an expert injector of neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport, as well as the latest dermal fillers — Voluma XC, Vollure XC, and Volbella XC from the Allergan Juvederm family, and Restylane Kysse by Galderma.

Zuzana is renowned for tailoring customized combination treatments so that every patient’s needs are addressed, resulting in a refreshed, natural look. One of her most popular combinations pairs Thermage FLX with resurfacing lasers such as Fraxel Dual or CO2RE, followed by injectables like Juvederm Voluma XC, Restylane, Radiesse, Kybella, or Sculptra to define and contour.

Christine S., Real Patient Results

“Zuzana is wonderful & very sensitive to her patient’s needs. She did Fraxel laser under my eyes several times. I had an issue with wrinkling and darkness due to eczema. It’s at least 6 months since my series of treatments & I’m so happy with my results! The wrinkles under my eyes have diminished greatly, the darkness has faded & I look like a normal person again!”

“
Carolina L., Real Patient Results

“I get Botox and filler with Zuzana … my services have always exceeded expectation and I always leave feeling 5 years younger and 10 years wiser. Their skin advice have made me change my daily skin routine and made me much more open to anti-aging preventatives like injectables. If you’re on the fence about this, please let me tell you it’s the best thing you can do!”

“
Elena K., Real Patient Results

“I did many procedures with Zuzana. She is very competent specialist. Never had any complication and I was happy with the results. I did light Botox, removal of surface blood vessels due to rosacea, tightening of the skin on face and neck. Highly recommend!”

Angel J., Real Patient Results

Personal

On what drew her to aesthetics, Zuzana points to the attention to detail, the technicality, and the reward of seeing patients happy with their results.

Outside the clinic, Zuzana volunteers with the Redwood City Police Activities League, where she received Volunteer of the Year for her work with troubled youth. She also serves as a Nurse Practitioner Surgery First Assistant and stays current through major industry conferences. In her free time, she enjoys water sports, hiking, and skiing in Truckee, gardening and home improvement in Portola Valley, and time with her family — including her husband, Ota, and their Newfoundland, Indy.
