****AVOID AT ALL COST*******

Tye the owner is a total scam artist and a creep. I am a tattoo artist whose been getting lasered for over 15 years and this has been the worst ever experience. Not only once but multiple different sessions that tye has lied about the quality of his lasers.
Dont be fooled. He seems very knowledgable and experienced but the fact is he his a complete nightmare laser technician and I wouldn’t trust him at all. Please take it from me.
I’ve been suffering from laser scarring and redness that won’t go away. I’m left with insane scars all over my arm that won’t go away even 6-8 months later. He’s left over...read full review

My tattoo removal consultation was terrible. I had some removal work done on my forearm from a different clinic, but after moving, I was looking for a new provider. I knew the work would only take about 5 minutes per session, and I wasn't willing to spend more than $300 per session, which still seemed very high for the small amount of work. I was told during my consultation that it would be $400 per session. I asked why so much, and I was told the tattoo location was on my forearm and had scaring. They couldn't guarantee a good outcome and they didn't want to put their name on poor work. I told them that I was already aware that full removal was unlikely and I just wanted it faded further. That's when Dr. De Pena told me to go to LA if I wanted cheap work done and that he was personally responsible for getting many firefighters their jobs. I'm not sure if he was looking for praise, but it didn't change my mind. I felt belittled and left the clinic $20 poorer.

So glad my first Botox and filler experience was here. Dr De pena was very thorough in explaining how the procedure is and listened attentively what I wanted. I am naturally in the fuller lip side but wanted to add more plump to my top lip. I am post week now and love my botox on my forehead . My lips are exactly how I wanted. I wanted a more natural plump. We used less than a mL for my lip and utilized the leftover filler on my face . I am ecstatic I did not get the mustache filler and looks so natural !
