Oregon Cosmetic Laser

I have been thinking a lot about Oregon Cosmetic Laser recently. Granted, my last treatment with them was in the summer of 2011 (and I am still thinking about Leslie, and her comforting personality) and it was for laser hair removal of my underarm. I was having skin issues, and shaving was making it worse. Four years later, and I still only have a few hairs remaining. I am still impressed with her skills and expertise. Thank you Leslie, I have fond memories, and I just wanted to write a review to point others in her direction. Go to Oregon Cosmetic Laser, and you will not be disappointed!

I made an appointment for a facial with Leslie. Leslie was very knowledgeable and sensitive to my skin. She gave me a Microdermabrasion treatment. I left there feeling refreshed, beautiful and confident. I made a follow up appointment with her and will continue my treatment. She is awesome! Thank you Leslie. YOU ROCKED!

I got a groupon for an IPL and I have to say the laser actually worked better than many of the lasers I have tried. However, there were large gaps between the applications so my face has zebra stripes. You can VERY clearly see huge rectangular spots on my face from the laser and gaps between where it was not treated. I look worse than before. It is embarrassing because I have to explain it to people. It kind of looks like tire tracks across my face. However, the rectangular areas that were treated do look much better. It is just too bad that there are so many gaps between them.

Just had an IPL done and I have mixed feelings. I have a lot of freckles, always have had, which I like. However, I hate my big age spots, which are what I wanted treated.
You’re told to expect darkening of the areas for a while until they flake off. Today, the morning after, I’m seeing the darker spots but unfortunately they’re all on my freckles and it appears as though my age spots went untouched. Not one age spot shows any darkening.
Leslie was very nice and has great reviews everywhere I looked… hence I chose her office. I was told to expect the appt to take about an hour but was in and out in 30 minutes. including chat time… and I have a lot of sun damage/​age spots. Of course as I was getting my purse she mentioned that if I call back within two weeks I can get a buy one get one free deal. I’m now wondering if using a Groupon means you get a less than acceptable appt because you paid less?
I would like to think not but I have to ask.
I guess this is what I get for giving into vanity.

I have had three photo-​facials at Oregon Cosmetic Laser. I am extremely happy with the results. After my first treatment, dark spots on my face grew slightly darker, scabbed up, and then fell off. The number of broken blood vessels (mainly around my nose) decreased. I saw the same results with each subsequent treatment, just on a lesser scale. The technician is experienced, listens to you and wants you to have the best results possible!
— No prolonged redness (my face looked normal upon leaving the office)
— No irritation
— No zits
— No welts (which I’ve heard can happen with an inexperienced office)
— No red marks
Their service is great. I missed an appointment and it was no problem to reschedule. They are on time and perform the procedures quickly and efficiently. They provide honest and helpful consultations and do not attempt to up-​sell you on services that won’t work or are unnecessary for you.
As others have said, it’s not fancy, but you get great results and no unwanted side-​effects. I will continue going and expand on the types of services they provide.

I purchased a Groupon for a IPL photo-​facial … They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and considerate. I’m heading back for a second appointment this week.

Like many on here, I found out about this place because I had a groupon. This is not the first medi spa I have been to, but it may be the last!
The technician here is amazing! She is skilled, funny, nice and she has a wealth of knowledge that she is not afraid to use. This is by far the best skin treatment I have ever had.
No, it’s not super fancy, but maybe the other spas cover their lack of skill up with material fluff in the lobby.
I’ll take results over a Buddha fountain and new age music any day!

I LOVED my microdermabrasion and photo-​facial experience with technician Leslie Deng. She was methodical, thorough, professional, personable and is an overall fabulous cosmetic specialist. I love the results I’ve received and will be returning to her for future treatments.
Located conveniently off SE99th the inconspicuous med spa has ample parking. Once inside the building the ambiance is quiet, clean and safe. After minimal paperwork technician Leslie Deng led me into a room with a very comfortable table for my microdermabrasion treatment. She cleansed my skin thoroughly before beginning the procedure. She listened and paid special attention to areas on my face that are prone to adult acne. Calming music played on as she worked her soothing magic with wonderful smelling cleansers, toners, and gels post procedure. I left feeling like a million dollars and my face never felt cleaner– my pores felt like they were breathing for the very first time. I’ve had microdermabrasion before but something about her technique was superior to my other experiences.
I returned a few weeks later for my photo-​facial and was fortunate enough to have Leslie again. The procedure of a photo-​facial is not without a little bit of discomfort. She removed all my makeup with a clean, hypoallergenic wipe, which I appreciate because I am prone to breakouts (read above), covered my eyes completely with cotton before placing protective eye-​wear over my eyes, slathered on industry-​standard ultra sound gel and went to work. As the procedure progressed she entertained me with interesting stories, talking me through an otherwise uncomfortable experience; her warmth and conversation sufficiently distracted me.
Throughout my process I was never instructed to remove my protective eye wear.
Due to my own experience with Oregon Cosmetic Laser I have a very hard time believing that there was a lapse in safety or professionalism.
I DEFINITELY recommend Oregon Cosmetic Laser for cosmetic med-​spa needs and will be returning to have my permanent makeup touched up soon.

So this is not a fancy spa. The lobby is not impressive. What is completely impressive is the photo facial. i have had capillary treatment many times in the past and am always disappointed with the amount of time they spend and the lack of results. Leslie did an amazing job on my full face. She got the capillaries and the sun spots. It’s a remarkable improvement, so much so that I went back for a second time. I grew up in California surfing so I have plenty of sun spots.
Yes, she uses wooden sticks, ultrasound gel and wipes to clean off the gel. I use all these in a medical clinic and no one scoffs there. And I put the sticks in peoples mouths :) Go to Leslie. You won’t be disappointed.

Just had the IPL Full Face done today. I used a Groupon for $ 99, and it was a great value.
While I wasn’t a huge fan of the lobby, Leslie immediately put me at ease. She has been performing laser procedures since 2004, and was very knowledgeable. She explained everything she was doing (and why), which wasn’t necessary since I have had IPL several times before.
It looks like she got all of the brown spots AND the broken capillaries, so I am psyched.
I would recommend this to my friends.
(The review from Coco N. is kind of crazy and should be removed. She really doesn’t know what she’s talking about.)

I’ve been going to Oregon Cosmetic Laser for a while now and I have always had a great experience at every visit. Leslie is very nice and very knowledgeable about all of the procedures I’ve had done and Jodi is so sweet, she remembered my name from my very second visit. The spa is very clean and has a relaxing atmosphere, there is even a tea selection and/​or water for you if you come early, although I have never had to wait at all for my appointments, even if I am a little early. I’ve had amazing results with the laser hair removal treatments and am so happy I chose to come to Oregon Cosmetic Laser for them. I would definitely recommend them for any of the services they offer.
I read the negative review by a woman who came in for a photofacial and I cant believe someone could be so ignorant as to post comments that clearly shows a lack of knowledge. Calling tongue depressors «popsicle sticks», calling goggles specifically designed for the machine that was being used on her «tanning goggles», then calling the topical gel specifically designed for use with the same machine «goo» and being disgusted by baby wipes? Really???
Leslie is an awesome aesthetician and Oregon Cosmetic Laser is a wonderful place to go and make yourself look beautiful!

I’ve known Leslie for over 15 years (I think!) when she first did my permanent makeup! I only wish I had done it sooner! Over the years she has done numerous procedures on my face, and she has become a very dear friend. I’ve recently begun to get the Photo-​Facials when she ran a Living Social ad. With 3 treatments people were asking me what I was doing because my skin looked amazing! Not too long ago at a wedding someone pulled me aside and very covertly asked, «Robynne, what have you had done to your face?!» She actually thought I’d had a surgical procedure and all I’ve done is had 5 Photo-​Facials! I tell everyone I know about Leslie and her professional staff at Oregon Cosmetic Laser. Jodi Rossi at the front desk treats you as if you’re a long-​lost friend when you arrive, and I just love going! Thanks, Les! Love you guys!

I recently had a photo-​facial I purchased from Groupon. I was a bit nervous cause it was my first photo-​facial, but felt much more at ease when I met the tech. I asked her what to expect, she did a great job explaining to me. I also asked her if the photo facial would get rid of some ugly broken vessels on my face. She was nice enough to spend some extra time focusing on them. She was absolutely wonderful! I have already noticed a huge difference and I’m just a couple days out.
In regards to another review I want to say I have had other laser procedures such as hair removal and skin resurfacing at other spas. They all used ultrasound gel and disposable wood tongue blades to remove the gel. I’m not sure what is so awful about using Kirkland wipes for a quick face wipe, I’m just happy everything is sanitary and my face looks great! I see more of a difference with this one treatment than I did after 3 laser resurfacing treatments!

I got an online deal — Groupon or Living Social, one of those — for a photofacial laser treatment. I have a fair amount of experience with cosmetic procedures and regularly frequent medi-​spas, so wasn’t nervous. The technician was very nice. But I will never go back to this place. I signed a bunch of papers — including something that said protective eye wear is a must, before my procedure.
First of all, the protective eye wear I was given was a pair of tanning bed goggles. Ok, fine, except that they fit poorly and there was a huge space where I could see out of, meaning my eyes weren’t fully protected. The technician smoothed some sort of gel all over my face and then went over it with a laser. (maybe it made a difference? it’s been a week and I can’t tell.) This was mildly uncomfortable, but not unbearable. Then she instructed me to take off the protective goggles so she could do my nose. Uh… I said, «Don’t I need to wear them to protect my eyes?» and she said no, she promised I’d be just fine and when she does the laser to herself (!), she doesn’t wear any eye protection at all.
After she was finished with the laser, she wiped the goo off my face with what I think were popsicle sticks and then a towelette and applied sunscreen.
She left so I could gather my things, and I noticed that the goo she applied to my face was ultra sound gel. And the towelette she used to clean my face (my face!) was a Kirkland Signature baby wipe. A baby wipe — on my face. After gathering my things, I went immediately to the bathroom, where I washed off my face.
Nice people working here, but definitely not a place I will ever return again. Even though my photofacial was only $ 99, I have a sneaking suspicion it was $ 99 too much.
