“What can I say about Palo Alto Laser that hasn’t been said before?? This place is amazing! The amount of professionalism is bar none. I started getting laser hair removal with Zuzana (along with other treatments) and I loved my results. I then added a different area to get treated and I began to see Carina. I LOVE HER!!! She has the best bedside manner and makes you feel so welcome and at ease. They both are so on top of the aesthetic world. They both are really educated in their field.  I would never go anywhere else for any of my cosmetic needs. Seriously, they are the BEST that Palo Alto has to offer. Thank you both for making me hair free!”

“I was nervous to come in at first for laser hair removal and really skeptical on the results that I would achieve. The staff is beyond friendly and professional and the end results were far beyond expected. Definitely would recommend this place.”

“Zuzana and her team were absolutely the best! I went there for Cool sculpting, and I was SO impressed with the promptness, the ease of setting up an appointment, with the beauty of the office, the ease of parking, how often they kept checking in with me, and how well I was treated. They went above and beyond!”
