We use Cutera CoolGlide Nd:YAG Laser for hair removal. It is cleared by FDA for permanent hair reduction. It is one of the best laser hair removal systems on the market for all skin tones, from light to dark, including tanned patients. Its unique design, longer wavelength, and innovative cooling design allow extremely effective, safe and permanent results.
Our glycolic acid peel diminishes fine lines, skin discoloration and restores softness to the skin. We recommend a series of six treatments for maximum benefit. The Ultrasonic Skin Spatula is an advanced skin rejuvenation system. It provides gentle and safe deep pore exfoliations and product infusions by utilizing the energy waves of ultrasound.
To begin with, you would not let someone perform electrolysis on your face if you did not do research on his/her qualifications. I was nervous, but she was gentle and professional. She was thorough, and my skin never was irritated or damaged. The results were fantastic. I now am addicted. My skin, after years of rosacea and sensitivity, has never looked better: peaches and cream - a nice, bright, clear, even skin tone and complexion.

My family has been getting various treatments for about 6 years now and all of us are very happy with our results. The facility is very clean and quiet, and the small size allows for privacy and comfort. Elizabeth is very professional and kind--when she noticed my mom was in pain, she hugged her afterwards. We come all the way from Manhattan, because honestly no one can beat her prices and her deals. We all have recommended her to our friends because she is that good! We would highly recommend this place :

I have been going to Elizabeth for various services for almost a year now and have been extremely satisfied. Elizabeth is very professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and just radiates good energy, always greeting me with a smile. The studio is always clean with relaxing music playing and the results have been life-changing. Don't hesitate to book an appointment.

I've been keeping up with my laser hair removal treatments at A Silky Touch, and I just am obsessed with my results. She uses the YAG laser on my tan skin so that I don't scar. I don't know why I haven't done this sooner. Elizabeth always returns calls as quickly as possible. She doesn't pressure you to do anything. You can't pay with card, cash only. If you pay for a package you will save money.

I have been sending my mother to Elizabeth for collagen facials for years. The improvement in her skin is simply amazing. She always comes back looking like she walked out of heaven with her skin glowing for days. Elizabeth's facials have helped almost eliminate the size of my mother's pores and improved her skin's texture, helping her skin become smoother, softer and firmer.
Over the past year I've noticed fewer fine lines and wrinkles around her eyes, cheeks and forehead. Her skin is more elastic and always has a certain brightness to it. People are always complementing her on her skin and repeatedly mistaken her for getting botox. This new year, I'll be starting these facials with Elizabeth myself so I can look as young and beautiful as my mother. Elizabeth, if you're reading this, thank you so much for giving my mother the confidence that she deserves.

Another great review, posted by my client on Google +: Nadine Somerville Nadine S I have been going to A Silky Touch for about a year for electrolysis. Elizabeth is very kind and makes you feel extremely comfortable during your treatments. She is highly educated and takes great care to provide the best services possible. Her office is always clean and comfortable. Her prices are very reasonable. I have had great results so far and would highly recommend her to Friends and family.

I started going to Elizabeth's skin care studio a few months ago. She does laser hair removal on my face, photofacials and recently facials. I can't be more happy with the results. The facials are the best I have ever received! Before the laser procedures I was so afraid, but Elizabeth explained throughly the whole process, and it goes exactly as she said: very little discomfort, no bad reaction, and excellent results. My skin has never looked better. I highly recommend her!

Elizabeth is wonderful. She is very well-educated, kind, and patient. When you're a first-time laser patient, that is exactly what you need! I had electrolysis performed and I am very glad with the results. The facility is clean and I would definitely recommend this to friends! A friend of mine recommended her and I am very glad she did!

I've been a customer of Elizabeth's for a number of years undergoing facial hair removal and recently completed a second round of IPL treatment. In addition, for maintenance purposed I see her for eyebrow waxing and facials. I really appreciate her flexibility and reasonable pricing and have taken advantage of specials. Her office is comfortable and she doesn't push products or treatments on you like I have experienced at other places. The IPL has really improved my skin and I highly recommend Elizabeth's expertise and services.
