The Laser Center of Marin

I have been going to the Laser Center of Marin for years for various treatments. Usually to Ruth for Botox and fillers. I LOVE Ruth. She is so gentle and tender with her injections. I always feel as though she is taking time with me and not rushing through the procedure. She takes the time to talk to me about my results and what I would like to see from this treatment. She is so sweet, she even apologizes that she has to poke me when I have come in for Botox. The rest of the staff has always been kind and accommodating when I had to reschedule an appointment and my sometimes late arrival. I highly recommend the LCOM. Go to them to get more beautiful-​er.

This review of the Laser Center of Marin is long overdue!
I have been coming here for treatments for 6 years, & everyone who works here– from the «girls» at the front desk, to the nurses & administration– is exceptional.
I have had procedures (mostly dermal fillers & Botox/​Dysport) done by many of the nurses– & all were superb– but my «go-​to» person has become Ruth.
Ruth is gentle, kind, skilled, very professional, & very helpful & wise when suggesting a treatment for whatever issue (s) I may be coming in with at the time. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her.
As to the girls at the front desk– well, I have never had such warm, personal, & helpful service & reception in any business. I always feel genuinely welcomed & cared for when I call & come in. A very special shout-​out to Natalie, who has been there since my first nervous visit, & who goes above & beyond. She, & everyone else there, make me feel like family.
Oh yes– & prices: They also run some really awesome monthly specials & have some great incentive programs…:)
If you are seeking wonderful practitioners, personal care & treatment, & unrivaled customer service, as well as great prices & specials, I highly recommend the Laser Center of Marin!

I’ve been a regular for 3 years and have nothing but good experiences there. I’m a fan. Amy gives the best facials. Natalie at the desk is fantastic. Jennifer and Ruth for Botox although I’ve had others and everyone is great.

I had the cool sculpture done on my upper and lower abdomen. The aids and the nurse practitioners were nice but the treatment didn’t work. I came back for pictures at 10 weeks and 13 weeks with no change and I had even lost 10 pounds. One criticism is that they do not tell you how painful it is even though when I mentioned it, one gal said, «Yes, that is what we are hearing from other customers.» Also it is very costly with no results. They did mention that I could come in at 16 weeks to see if there are any changes and felt that I probably would need a second treatment. Are you kidding! Paying another $ 2400 is crazy. I plan to tell people who are considering this procedure to be very cautious.

So I’ve only written 2 reviews in my entire life and feel like I have to give credit where credit is due. I’ve been coming here since 2012 and can say what an absolute delight everyone is! They always make me feel welcome. I’ve done everything from laser hair removal, facials, micros, Botox and now fillers. Jennifer is amazing! Amy is amazing! The staff ALWAYS makes sure I am 100% satisfied or they will do whatever they can. It’s a nice touch to know that people want you to be happy! Thanks ladies, it means a lot!

Thanks Ruth for a great facial! Wonderful spa.

I have been going to TLC for many years. The ambiance of the office setting is calm, and the front desk is decorated beautifully for each holiday. The staff is extremely knowledge, and friendly. When I went in for a consultation regarding hyperpigmentation on my face, they were very honest about what the results could yield based on my skin tone. They offered many options, and were very professional. I have attended a few of the evening events– this place knows how to throw a fun party with delicious food! Everyone seems genuinely happy to be working here, and vested in your satisfaction with the treatments. They are very accommodating regarding scheduling appts. They have a great system of keeping track of previous purchases on skin care products so that you can easily buy what you need. If you call a few minutes ahead they often pull out what you need and have it ready for you. A terrific place!

Thank you Laser Center of Marin for helping me turn back the clock by at least 10 years! a little Botox here, a little Botox there, some Radiesse to lift it all back up and I am a happy lady. Jennifer is very good injector with a gentle hand, I could hardly feel the needle. she gave me my swedish cheeks back! Jennifer knows her facial anatomy, how to give you that subtle change that makes all of the difference, how shadows play and can age the face and how to fix them!
I had a small issue with filler under my eyes (an area known to be a difficult spot to treat), but they took care of it and me and I feel confident going back to the Laser Center and to Jennifer! Karen, the director is also wonderful and really puts the patients of the center first. Thank you, Jennifer and Karen.

Wonderful staff! I had Fraxel done. Very painful but the outcome lasts for a very long time. I recommend this facility.

I have been going here for four years now and have sent so many of my friends as well. I really can’t say enough positive things about it. They provide a huge variety of services so I haven’t had to go anywhere else since I moved back to Marin from Los Angeles.
The staff is amazing– friendly, professional, smart and even funny. Karen helps determined which service is right for you and best of all, I have never once felt like they were «selling» me something. If they don’t think what you want will work on you, they tell you, regardless of whether or not that means they get less $$$.
My personal favorite person to go to is Ruth, who has never been anything but super honest with me. She has taken literally years off my appearance and I don’t ever go to anyone else. I highly recommend this place to anyone of a certain age looking to improve the way they look!

My experience at TLC of Marin was 110% positive. I called and Jasmine (if I remember correctly) fit my friend and I in for a same day consultation. We met with Karen who was friendly, professional, and knowledgable about our dark spots. To my pleasant surprise she recommended a topical treatment instead of a more invasive and expensive laser treatment. My husband and I plan to return for laser hair removal and other treatments.

Went initially to rid my face of tiny red veins and a couple of sunspots. The first visit resulted in major red sores over my face which I would not have minded if I’d known in advance but I was told there would be NO visible marks. The owner was WONDERFUL at hearing my concerns and very attentive to my situation, and offered me a return visit with no charge. I did eventually return to have my facial veins removed, there was no visible red sores this time but most of the veins I was concerned about are still there.
I returned one more time thinking that they deserved another chance as they seem like such a nice people and a good business, however the veins are still there. Time to move on.

I was introduced to Laser Center of Marin last year. The front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. The Dr’s and staff made me feel comfortable and welcome every time I came in for a treatment. I only wish they were closer to my house so I could see them for more treatments!

The verdict? I can still see the vein… maybe there’s just something wrong with that particular vein that it doesn’t want to go away… I don’t know. The laser center tried to help me but unfortunately, even after the 2^nd treatment, I’m not seeing a real difference. Can’t really blame it on them though, because using a higher setting on the laser for the nasal area just wouldn’t be safe. Oh well.
Keep in mind that my review is only for the Yag laser, I have not tried any of the other services they provide.

Just had my first visit at Laser Center of Marin and it was great. The woman who greated me was wonderful and made me feel very comfortable. Then I met with Karen, the patient coordinator, and she was amazing. Really listened to what I had to say and had some great suggestions. definitely a great place!

I’ve had a little hair removal, zerona, and tried a couple fillers at TLC of Marin. These women are professional, friendly, and totally stand by their services. This is so utterly important because these services are quite costly and can be a major decision for some of us, also I have been to places where they don’t guarantee anything, and just have the attitude of «better luck next time». I have had my share of bad experiences to include hospitalization and major permanent skin damage. Not at TLC. This team is the best all the way around. I completely trust them here and respect the way their place is run and am fond of every person on the staff. Great place, great services, great staff. Five stars all the way.
*Be sure to take advantage of their monthly specials which can save you a lot of money!

I really enjoy the staff. I have done several sessions with them and make my appointments specifically with Jennifer. There was one Saturday that I took off work for my appointment and when I came in Jennifer was not there. Because I requested her and she was not there I was a little irritated. The front desk saw my frustration and got the manager. He and took care of the issue immediately.
Customer service is number 1 for me in choosing any place to do business. All members of their staff give outstanding customer service (especially Kelly at the front desk) and make me feel welcome and comfortable.

This place is great for laser hair removal. The office is very professional – clean and well-​kept. I think in the span the eight sessions that I had done, four of them were here and I had two different technicians, both of whom were great: friendly, efficient, and skilled at getting good results while keeping it as quick as possible (which minimizes the pain). They also made me feel as un-​embarrassed as possible, considering the area I had done. I had great results here (two other places I went were nowhere near as good). They also seem to have a better machine than the smaller, less professional places, because my results were better (hair either fell out or could be pulled out after).
Caveat: I have very pale skin and dark hair, which makes me a good candidate to begin with.

Like my first visit, I was able to get a same day appointment for laser hair removal. Staff was courteous. I have seen much slowed growth after my first treatment. As I understand, 5 – 6 treatment is required. So far I am very pleased with the result.

Be careful of the IPL. I was being treated for veins and brown spots on my face. I had gone to a dermatologist in LA for a year, then LCM for a couple of years, and I really liked the results. One day, they burned a hole in my face that has still not healed three years later. It was horribly embarrassing to have this scab on my face for several months, and I am completely finished with lasers of any sort on my face.
I must say, however, that LCM did the right thing and refunded my money for the IPL package I had just purchased.
