Skin Laundry has a laser facial for pretty much every skin goal—whether you're chasing glow, clearing breakouts or turning back the clock. Here's a breakdown of what they offer:
Signature Laser Facial
This is the OG Skin Laundry treatment—and for good reason. It uses high-energy infrared light to zap breakouts, calm redness, fade dark spots and boost collagen, leaving your skin clearer, firmer and more radiant.
Resurfacing Facial
Think of this one as your texture-fix hero. It uses nanofractional RF (fancy tech, big results) to smooth skin, speed up cell turnover and give your face a refreshed, glowy finish.
Power Signature Facial
Like the Signature Facial, but supercharged. It delivers more energy for faster, deeper results—perfect if you want to kickstart your skin transformation.
Power Resurfacing Facial
A stronger, more intense take on the Resurfacing Facial. It’s all about boosting collagen and smoothing things out, fast.
Power Duo Facial
Can’t decide? Get the best of both worlds. This combo treatment merges the Power Signature and Power Resurfacing facials into one powerhouse session that targets multiple layers of your skin—all at once.
Sculpting Facial
This one’s for contour lovers. It uses multi-polar RF and pulsed electromagnetic fields to tone, tighten and lift, stimulating collagen and elastin for that snatched, sculpted look.
A Welcoming First Impression
Right off the bat, La-Tia was struck by the vibe of the clinic.
“It was clean, welcoming and aesthetically organized. Staff was friendly, greeted me and immediately attentive to me which was very nice.”
First impressions matter, especially when you're trying something new—and laser facials can be a little intimidating. Thankfully, Skin Laundry nailed the details from the start.
“The first step of signing my forms was smooth and easy; the consultation was extremely informative. Staff answered all my questions and was friendly, furthering making the session calming as it was my first time doing a laser facial.”
Expert Care and an Inclusive Approach

La-Tia chose to get the Power Duo Facial. According to Skin Laundry, the Power Duo Facial is their most powerful treatment—combining the full-face Power Resurfacing Facial with targeted spot treatments for maximum results.This dynamic combo works on both the surface and deeper layers of the skin to tackle everything from breakouts and redness to hyperpigmentation and fine lines. With over twice the energy of their signature facial, it’s goal is to stimulates collagen, smooths texture, boosts radiance and enhances product absorption—all in one session.
La-Tia appreciated how well the Skin Laundry team explained not just the procedure, but the why behind it.
“All my apprehension and qualms were put to ease with how well the staff explained the procedure of my facial—as well as the history behind Skin Laundry lasers and the development and inclusivity of the laser.”
This is a big deal—many people with melanin-rich skin are understandably cautious about laser treatments. Knowing the technology is inclusive and the staff is informed? That’s peace of mind.
A Fast, Friendly and Fabulous Treatment
Once La-Tia got into the treatment room, things moved quickly—but never felt rushed.
“The process was also very quick. Once I met with the aesthetician, I felt like I was getting a facial done by a friend.”
The friendliness didn’t come at the cost of professionalism.
“She was also informative, kind and was great at explaining the process and asking me about my comfort levels throughout the process. She also keept conversation flowing and the process fun and exciting.”
Glowy, Dewy, and Deeply Clean
And the results? Exactly what you’d hope for from a high-tech facial.
“All around 100/10 experience with Skin Laundry Flatiron team. Yes, the technician was so amazing—I left feeling like I had a great facial and even made a friend!”
“My skin was glowy, dewy and felt like it got a very good deep surface clean!”
Final Verdict: Would She Go Back?
Absolutely.
“Yes! I would go back—it was a wonderful all-around facial experience.”
