Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I just had the Starlux treatment yesterday so the jury is still out but just wanted to comment on my experience so far...
I went in and did have a numbing cream applied although I think I have a higher than normal tolerance for pain. I indicated this and probably in about a half hour we started the treatment. While it was slightly uncomfortable (like someone snapping a rubber band at my skin) I found it to be no big deal.
She asked me how I was and I told her no problems on my end and she said she turned it up a little higher than usual as I had told her I expected to be fine with it based on prior history. Confirming that we did two passes; the entire process went by very quickly for me and, outside of feeling a bit numb, I was a little red (which I kinda thought looked good) and didn't think I looked scary at all.
Day two - I woke up with maybe a little puffiness in my face but, once again, this was not an issue because I have a very narrow face and I kinda like the extra fullness! I looked for the whiteheads I was informed might come about and found a few but they are so small you really have to look to see them.
Other than that there is not muc to report. I will def go back for a second and third treatment as I don't see any real downside so far (for my response to treatment specifically). If I see tighter skin it is totally worth it to me but that still remains to be seen...
I'll report in after the next treatment or two.

My practitioner, Lisa, was very pleasant and professional. A good listener.
